Send Summer Blooms: Honolulu’s Season of Color
What Are the Best Summer Flowers to Send in Hawaiʻi?
Summer on OʻahU gives you two beautiful directions to choose from — the island’s signature tropicals and the lush garden blooms of the season:
● Birds of paradise — sculptural, iconic, and long-lasting in the heat
● Heliconia — dramatic “lobster claw” stems that read as pure Hawaiʻi
● Red and pink ginger — vivid, architectural, and remarkably durable
● Anthurium — glossy, heart-shaped, and quietly elegant
● Plumeria and pikake — fragrant island classics that evoke summer instantly
● Sunflowers — the season’s happiest bloom, ideal for birthdays and thank-yous
● Dahlias and garden roses — soft, romantic, and beautifully layered
The best arrangement usually blends both worlds: the structure of tropicals with the softness of garden blooms. That contrast is the heart of the Blūme Ruhm style.
Why Summer Is the Season to Send Flowers
Summer in Hawaiʻi is a season of arrivals — visitors landing, families reuniting, celebrations stacking up on the calendar. Flowers are the warmest way to mark any of them.
Sending summer blooms works beautifully for:
● Birthdays — sunflowers and bright mixed bouquets suit the season perfectly
● Welcome-home and just-because gestures — a small arrangement says more than a text
● Graduations and milestones — May through July is peak celebration season
● Hosting and hospitality gifts — a thoughtful centerpiece for a summer gathering
● Sympathy and support — gentle, seasonal arrangements when words fall short
The season’s abundance means more variety, more color, and more ways to make the gesture personal.
Tropical or Garden? Choosing Your Summer Palette
Not sure which direction to send? Here’s a simple way to decide:
Choose tropicals if you want something unmistakably Hawaiian, long-lasting in warm rooms, and visually bold — perfect for statement centerpieces, offices, and gifts that need to travel and last.
Choose garden blooms if you want softness, fragrance, and a romantic, classic feel — ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and personal moments.
Choose a blend if you want the best of both — the signature Blūme Ruhm look that pairs island structure with garden softness. When in doubt, a mixed seasonal design is the safest and most memorable choice.

Caring for Summer Flowers in Hawaiʻi’s Heat
Hawaiʻi’s warmth is glorious — and a little demanding on cut flowers. A few simple habits keep summer arrangements looking their best:
● Keep them cool. Place arrangements out of direct sun and away from trade-wind heat and open lanai doors.
● Refresh the water every two days, and trim stems at an angle when you do.
● Skip the fruit bowl. Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that shortens a bouquet’s life.
● Mist tropicals lightly. Heliconia, ginger, and anthurium love a little humidity.
Well cared for, tropicals can easily last one to two weeks — one of the reasons they’re such a rewarding summer gift.
