Mother's Day Flowers FAQs
What are the most common flowers for Mother's Day?
There's no right answer to what flowers are best. However, there are some fan favorites that are definitely worth considering when you're looking over your options:
Roses: Though these are often considered the signature flower of romance, a bouquet of roses or a mixed bouquet that also features roses can be a sweet and thoughtful gift for moms as well. Your mom will appreciate a classic bouquet of Mother's Day roses. If you’re buying flowers for your wife as a Mother's Day surprise, red roses are ideal.
Lilies: These delicate, graceful and voluminous flowers add class and beauty to any bouquet. Your mom will be thrilled when she claps her eyes on them. Calla lilies are especially associated with Mother's Day.
Orchids: For a classier touch, orchids are the go-to bloom. These rare and exotic flowers elevate a bouquet into a full-on luxury experience.
Sunflowers: Mother's Day comes in May, and sunflowers are fully in bloom. Show your mom the best of the season with a lively and radiant bouquet of sunflowers.
Carnations: When Anna Jarvis started the day to honor mothers in 1907, she had 500 white carnations sent to the West Virginia church, where her mother had long taught Sunday School. Carnations became an early part of the Mother's Day flower tradition.
Other top Mother's Day flowers include Gerbera daisies and irises. The same holds for any flowers that bloom naturally in May.
Shop all flowers to find the perfect blooms for your Mother's Day celebration. Would your mom prefer a plant, such as a mini rose bush, to flowers? No problem! We have many Mother's Day plants from which to choose. How about a blooming azalea bonsai, or a blossoming Abundance Garden bonsai? We also feature a magnolia sapling accompanied by a lavender soap and lotion duet.
