For over a century, carnations have been considered the official flower of Mother’s Day.
This is because the founder of Mother’s Day, Anna Jarvis, named the carnation the official flower after her mother’s love for the flower, stating:
“The carnation does not drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart as it dies and so, too, mothers hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying.”
The wonderful thing about carnations? They are an extremely budget-friendly option that comes in a wide array of colors and styles — and they smell beautiful, so beautiful that they are used to make dozens of perfumes.
Now, over the years, carnations have gotten a bad rap. However, we love them! Especially vintage, muted tone carnations. Check out our blog post: Carnation Is Not a 4 Letter Word!
Peonies, one of the most beautiful and sought after flowers, come in various colors, making it easy to create a beautiful arrangement for your mother. As a perfect sentiment for all your mother has done for you in your lifetime, peonies represent:
Hydrangeas are a Mother’s Day gift that will keep giving long after the holiday is over.
It’s really no surprise that these plants made the cut for some of the best flowers to give on Mother’s Day.
Once Mother’s Day has passed, hydrangeas can be planted outside, where they will return for many years to come. They are incredibly versatile and will grow in nearly any landscape that has well-drained soil, some moisture, and shade during the warmest parts of the day.
Hydrangeas are the perfect, billowy gift for a mom who doesn’t want a high-maintenance plant but isn’t a fan of bouquets that may die quickly.
The plants represent …
… while radiating abundance — complimenting features that every mom should be reminded of about themselves.
Chrysanthemums, also often referred to as “mums,” are typically thought of as fall flowers but make the ideal flower for mom on Mother’s Day, symbolizing unbreakable love and fertility.
Chrysanthemums come in a wide variety of colors and sizes, so no matter how you incorporate them into your Mother’s Day flowers, they are bound to be a beautiful touch.
When in a vase, lilies have one of the longest lifespans — making them ideal for those who want to get the most bang for their buck.
Lilies, like mums, come in an array of varieties and colors.
Whether you choose a bouquet made up of the same variety and color, or opt for an arrangement mixed with multiple colors and varieties, lilies are a fantastic way to elevate your Mother’s Day bouquet.
But buyer beware, if your mother has a furry friend in the house, lilies should be left out of reach, as they are poisonous to most animals.
Roses are associated with love — and while most think of roses, romance, and Valentine’s Day, they come in an assortment of colors and meanings more appropriate for your mom on Mother’s Day, including:
If you really want to show mom some extra love, get her some garden roses! These special roses are just gorgeous and sure to impress. They do cost more, but they are definitely worth it.
When trying to decide on what flowers to get for Mother’s Day, ranunculus can be a special touch in any spring bouquet. Spring is the best time of year to get these super popular blooms. Our locally grown ranunculus are just gorgeous!
Similar to lilies, the ranunculus is a great choice if you’re looking for a flower that thrives in a vase — ranunculus can live more than a week in a vase.
Daisies come in many varieties but Gerber Daisies are probably the most popular ones grown as a cut flower. Smaller daisies are often used as filler flowers in bouquets, but these bold, colorful Gerberas can also be the star of the show.
Signifying …
… it’s no wonder these beautiful flowers are considered one of the best flowers for Mother’s Day.
Is mom a fan of holistic healing and natural health solutions? Bring a bouquet of daisies for Mother’s Day that she not only admires but can use to potentially improve digestion, relieve cough, and even potentially ease pain.
