Thanks, Zainab - you too π
I too suffer hay fever, mine is predominately tree pollen.
Here is a excerpt of something you or other readers might find useful π€
Yes! Itβs just about reducing the chance of the blooms setting it off. As you definitely know if youβre a sufferer, hay fever is a pollen allergy, so itβs about steering clear of flowers and plants that release lots of pollen. Trees and grasses tend to make hay fever worse because their pollen spreads through the air rather than being spread by insects. When choosing flowers you want to avoid types that feature lots of pollen, or ones that have an especially large flower head, because that could also equal extra pollen.
Itβs another yes, and another reminder that itβs all about avoiding pollen. If you really struggle with hay fever avoid indoor plants that flower (flowers = pollen) and opt for leafier kinds instead β palms are especially good for allergy sufferers and can even filter out some of the chemicals that can make a pollen allergy worse.
Antirrhinum (snapdragons) are a traditional favourite and safe choice for hay fever sufferers as the tightly closed buds minimise the release of pollen. Said to portray the meaning of βgracious ladyβ, these blooms provide nectar for bumble bees who are one of the few insects that are able to βopenβ the flower. Antirrhinums will add height to any design β arrange them with round-headed summer blooms to create a gorgeous display for your mantelpiece.
Youβll be pleased to know that the large, luxurious taffeta-like flower heads of the peony will give you the joys of the season without setting off the sneezes! The popular summer bloom is a reliable choice as it is pollinated by insects rather than the wind.Β PeoniesΒ are said to represent bashfulness and is loved so much by the Chinese city of Luoyang, that they hold an annual peony festival every April β which sounds like our kind of festival!
The national flower of England and the worldβs favourite bloom! This classic beauty can be enjoyed by all asΒ rosesΒ only release small amounts of pollen into the air. With a huge range of colours and varieties, this symbol of love is the perfect choice to send to hay fever sufferers. Top tip β opt for the tight budded varieties to further minimise pollen exposure.
Another safe choice this season is gladioli. They originate from South Africa and are said to symbolise generosity. This bloomβs pollen is thick and sticky, meaning they are commonly pollinated by bees, rather than the wind. The tall stems come in a wide range of beautiful colours and will certainly brighten any home or garden.
A pretty, delicate star-shaped flower that will add texture to any bouquet, making it a very popular choice for spring andΒ summer weddings. Astrantia was first cultivated in Britain in the 16th century and became a cottage garden favourite, which can also be found growing in the wild. The great news is they rate low on the allergy scale, so thereβs no need to be afraid of that hay fever headache!
These stunning blooms are also insect pollinated, making them another safe option this summer.Β HydrangeasΒ come in shades of blue, pink and white and are said to carry the meaning, βthank you for understandingβ. Did you know, their dried leaves are used to make a sweet tea called Ama-cha in Japan, which is prepared each year to celebrate Buddhaβs birthday!
There are some blooms that should definitely be steered clear of if youβre prone to pollen allergies. Keep away from:
