The Summer Spangle is a bright tropical flower and one of the friendliest gifts of the Summer. Caroline loves it, and almost every other villager likes it. Planted near a Bee House, it turns plain honey into Summer Spangle Honey, which is worth almost three times as much as Wild Honey. It sits between the Sunflower and the Poppy as a honey flower, and unlike the Poppy it is safe to hand out as a gift. That makes it a good all-round flower for a Summer garden.

Growing

Pierre's General Store sells Spangle Seeds in Summer, and they are among the cheaper flower seeds. The flower takes a little over a week to bloom and does not regrow, so each flower needs a new seed. A seed planted on the first day of Summer leaves room for three blooms in the season. The next seed simply goes in on each harvest day.

Speed-Gro makes room for an extra round, and it also brings the first batch of flower honey forward. Quality Fertiliser raises the share of silver and gold flowers, which helps both raw sales and gifting.

Prices

Sold raw, the Summer Spangle earns only a small profit over its cheap seed. The Tiller profession adds 10% to every raw sale.

Its real value is honey. A Bee House within five tiles of a fully grown Summer Spangle produces Summer Spangle Honey instead of Wild Honey. Flower honey is worth the price of Wild Honey plus twice the base price of the flower. That puts the Spangle in the middle of the Summer honey flowers. Poppy Honey is worth more and Sunflower Honey slightly less. The Artisan profession adds 40% to the honey.

One flower serves every Bee House around it, because the bees never use it up. The flower must stay in the ground until the honey is collected. Picking it early turns the next batch into Wild Honey. A Bee House takes its honey type from the closest flower in range. A Spangle planted closer than a Poppy pulls the hives down to Spangle Honey.

Uses

The Garden Bundle in the remixed Pantry accepts the Summer Spangle as one of its flower options, alongside the Tulip, Blue Jazz, Sunflower and Fairy Rose.

The Traveling Cart sometimes sells Summer Spangles, but always for several times the price of growing one.

At the dye pots in Emily's and Haley's house, the Summer Spangle counts as a yellow dye.

Gifts

Caroline loves the Summer Spangle. The seeds are cheap, and one Summer of flowers can cover her weekly gifts for a long time. Clint, George and Sebastian dislike it. Almost every other villager likes it, as they like most flowers.

That makes the Spangle a very safe gift in general. It is the flower to carry when meeting new villagers in Summer, in contrast with the Poppy, which almost everyone hates.

These villagers love receiving Summer Spangle as a gift.
