Mixed Florals
Flowers have been part of the holiday season for centuries. Long before the first Christmas tree went up, people decorated their homes with evergreens and winter blooms to bring light and life into the darkest time of the year. Here is what the classic Christmas flowers mean, and how to choose the right one for the people you love.
Poinsettia: Good Cheer and Celebration
No flower says Christmas quite like the poinsettia. Native to Mexico, it takes its English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the American diplomat who brought it north in the 1800s. Its star shaped red leaves have come to symbolize good cheer, success and celebration.
Amaryllis: Strength and Beauty
With its tall stem and dramatic trumpet blooms, the amaryllis is a winter favourite. It stands for pride, strength and radiant beauty, which makes it a lovely choice for someone who has had a big year.
Holly: Protection and Good Fortune
Glossy green leaves and bright red berries have made holly a holiday symbol for generations. It was once hung over doorways for protection and good fortune, and today it represents peace and joy in the home.
Mistletoe: Love and Friendship
Hung in doorways for a stolen kiss, mistletoe has long been a symbol of love, friendship and goodwill. The tradition of kissing beneath it became popular in England and has charmed holiday guests ever since.
The Christmas Rose: Hope
The Christmas rose, or hellebore, blooms in the middle of winter, often pushing through the snow. A well loved legend tells of a young girl who had no gift to bring, and whose tears turned into these flowers. It has become a symbol of hope and of giving from the heart.
Red Roses: Love at Christmas
Red is the colour of the season, and red roses carry its warmest meaning: deep love and devotion. For a partner, there is no more romantic holiday gift than a heart shaped Kardia or a full Grand Fiorella in classic red.
White Roses: Peace and New Beginnings
White roses echo the first snowfall and speak of peace, purity and fresh starts, a perfect message as one year ends and another begins. Our serene Blanche arrangement captures that same calm elegance.
Holiday Flowers That Last Into the New Year
Fresh holiday flowers are beautiful, but most are gone before the new year arrives. Our arrangements are made with real flowers preserved at peak bloom, so they need no water and no care and stay beautiful for a year or more. That means your Christmas gift is still on display next December.
