Por Sueca 13 - Your trusted florist in Valencia
August is full of colour, fragrance and life in our beloved Valencia. At Sueca 13We know that this month represents a unique opportunity to fill our homes and spaces with the natural beauty that only flowers and plants can offer. Here are our top recommendations for this August.
Flowers that Shine in August
Sunflowers: The Kings of Summer
Sunflowers are undoubtedly the undisputed stars of August. Their intense golden colour and imposing presence make them the perfect choice for centrepieces, seasonal bouquets or as a focal point in any decoration. At Sueca 13 we work with fresh sunflowers that arrive directly from Valencian fields, guaranteeing their maximum quality and durability.
Gladioli: Vertical Elegance
Gladioli bring height and sophistication to any floral arrangement. Their spectacular flower spikes in shades ranging from pure white to deep purple, vibrant pinks, yellows and reds, make them ideal for event decorations or for creating stunning compositions in the home.
Dahlias: Explosion of Colour
Dahlias are in full bloom during August, offering an incredible variety of shapes, sizes and colours. From delicate pompom dahlias to majestic cactus dahlias, these flowers bring texture and unique personality to any arrangement.
Ideal Plants for the Valencian Heat
Lavender: Aromatic and Resistant
Lavender not only perfumes our spaces with its unmistakable relaxing aroma, but it is also extremely resistant to the Mediterranean climate of Valencia. It is perfect for pots on terraces, balconies or gardens, and its aromatic properties make it a natural ally against insects.
Geraniums: Constant Colour
Geraniums are a safe bet for the Valencian summer. Their continuous flowering and resistance to heat make them perfect for brightening up balconies and windows. At Sueca 13 we have geraniums in many varieties: from classic reds to elegant whites and vibrant fuchsias.
Succulents: Low Maintenance Beauty
For those looking for decorative but low-maintenance plants, succulents are the ideal choice. Cacti, echeverias, sedums and succulents form modern and original compositions that are perfectly suited to today's lifestyle.
August Decorative Trends
Summer Centrepieces
Centrepieces for August should convey freshness and brightness. We combine sunflowers with eucalyptus branches, add touches of lavender and complete with wicker or ceramic containers in natural tones. The result: compositions that capture the essence of the Mediterranean summer.
Seasonal Bridal Bouquets
For August weddings, we opt for bouquets that incorporate seasonal flowers such as dahlias, gladiolus and miniature sunflowers, combined with Mediterranean foliage such as olive and rosemary. These bouquets are not only beautiful, but also connect with tradition and the Valencian landscape.
Decoration of Terraces and Balconies
August is the perfect month to create real oases on our terraces. We combine aromatic plants in pots of different heights, add colour with geraniums and petunias, and create shady corners with hanging plants such as surfinias.
Care Tips for the Valencian August
The intense heat of August in Valencia requires special care for our flowers and plants:
Irrigation: Pot plants need daily watering, preferably in the early morning or in the evening. Cut flowers require a water change every 2-3 days.
Location: Look for places with bright light but avoid direct exposure to the sun during the most intense hours (12:00-17:00h).
Nutrition: August is a month of active growth, so it is advisable to use liquid fertiliser every 15 days.
