Birth Month Flowers and Their Meanings: A Month by Month Guide

Lavande arrangement with violet hydrangeas and lilac chrysanthemums

Most people know their birthstone, but far fewer know their birth flower. Every month of the year has its own bloom, and each one carries a meaning that can make a birthday gift feel personal. Here is your complete guide to birth month flowers.

January: Carnation and Snowdrop

Carnations stand for love, fascination and distinction. Snowdrops, among the first flowers to push through winter snow, represent hope and rebirth.

February: Violet and Primrose

Violets symbolize loyalty, modesty and faithfulness. Primrose speaks of young love and the feeling that you cannot live without someone.

March: Daffodil

The daffodil is the flower of spring, standing for rebirth, new beginnings and lasting happiness.

April: Daisy and Sweet Pea

Daisies represent innocence and pure love. Sweet peas carry a gentler message of gratitude and blissful pleasure.

May: Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn

Lily of the valley stands for sweetness and humility. Hawthorn represents hope and supreme happiness.

June: Rose and Honeysuckle

June babies get the most famous flower of all. Roses speak of love, gratitude and admiration, and every colour adds its own nuance. Explore them in our guide to rose colour meanings. Honeysuckle represents the bonds of love.

July: Larkspur and Water Lily

Larkspur symbolizes an open heart and a positive spirit. The water lily stands for purity and majesty.

August: Gladiolus and Poppy

The gladiolus represents strength of character and integrity. Poppies stand for imagination and remembrance.

September: Aster and Morning Glory

Asters symbolize wisdom, faith and love. Morning glory represents affection that is deep and devoted.

October: Marigold and Cosmos

Marigolds bring warmth, creativity and passion, with their glowing orange and gold tones. Cosmos stand for order and peace. For an October birthday, our Sunset arrangement captures those same marigold and burnt sienna tones.

November: Chrysanthemum

The chrysanthemum stands for friendship, joy and optimism. Our Lavande arrangement layers chrysanthemums in every shade of lilac with deep violet hydrangeas.

December: Narcissus and Holly

The narcissus represents hope and good wishes for the year ahead. Holly symbolizes protection and domestic happiness, which is why it has become a symbol of the holidays.

How to Give a Birth Flower That Lasts

Fresh birthday flowers look beautiful for a few days, then the moment is gone. A flower that lasts a year or more keeps the birthday wish alive every time they walk past it. Our arrangements are made with real flowers preserved at peak bloom, so they need no water and no care.

A few birthday ideas:

  • For a June birthday: a Small Round with twelve roses in their favourite colour.
  • For a big milestone: the Grand Fiorella, with over 100 roses.
  • For someone who loves garden flowers: our hydrangea and peony arrangements.
