These Should Be Your Favourite Flowers, According To Your Star Sign

Roses are red, violets are blue – but the sweetest bouquet of all is comprised of flowers that speak to your star sign.

What Do Flowers Say About Your (& Your Giftee’s) Personality?

‘As a florist, I’ve always believed that flowers are more than just beautiful gifts — they tell a story, carry emotion, and, when chosen thoughtfully, can say exactly what words sometimes cannot,’ says David Denyer, an expert florist at Eflorist. ‘Flowers linked to your star sign offer a little twist. They tell a story beyond just love — they connect to who the person is. These flowers aren’t just picked randomly. They’re chosen based on things like when they bloom, what they symbolise in different cultures and historical significance.

‘Each star sign is connected to a flower that reflects its personality,’ he adds. ‘For example, a Leo would have sunflowers as their flower, which represent qualities like confidence, warm energy and vitality — traits that match a Leo’s unique personality.’

Below, David shares his top flower (and floral gifting) picks for the star signs:

The Best Flowers For Each Star Sign, As Told By A Florist

Flowers For Aries (March 21 – April 19): Honeysuckle

For the Aries in your life, go for honeysuckle. These flowers are bold, adventurous, and full of energy — just like an Aries. Just like how honeysuckle vines twist and turn, your Aries loves excitement and change, so this is a perfect match for their adventurous spirit.

Flowers For Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Poppy

Taurus is steady, reliable, and always there when you need them, so poppies are the way to go. These flowers stand strong no matter the weather, just like your Taurus loved one. Poppies symbolise loyalty, resilience, and stability — perfect for an ‘SO’ who’s grounded and dependable.

Flowers For Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Lavender

Lavender is the perfect pick for your Gemini. It’s calming and versatile, just like Gemini’s easygoing and adaptable personality. Whether they’re jumping from one social event to the next or exploring new ideas, lavender will remind them of their ability to handle anything that comes their way.

Flowers For Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Acanthus

Acanthus flowers are protective and nurturing, much like Cancers. They represent the love and care Cancers give to those they hold close, much like the acanthus plant that shields delicate flowers. If you want to show your Cancer friend or partner that you appreciate their caring nature, this is a beautiful option.

Flowers For Leo (July 23 – August 22): Sunflower

Leos love to shine, and sunflowers are the ultimate symbol of confidence and warmth. These flowers are bold and bright, just like your Leo, who always finds themselves at the centre of attention. Sunflowers will make them feel seen and appreciated for their natural charm and radiant energy.

Flowers For Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Morning Glory

For your Virgo, go with morning glories. These flowers are simple yet elegant, just like your Virgo friend or partner. They bring out the beauty in the everyday, just as Virgos have a knack for noticing the little details and making everything around them better. A bouquet of morning glories will make them feel special in the most understated way.

Flowers For Libra (September 23 – October 22): Rose

Libras are true romantics, and roses are the go-to symbol of love and beauty. Whether it’s a classic red rose or a colourful, mixed bouquet, roses capture the harmony and grace Libras seek in life and love. A rose is the perfect way to show your Libra you appreciate their sense of balance and their romantic spirit.

Flowers For Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are all about resilience and transformation, which makes them a great fit for Scorpio. Scorpios are intense and passionate, and these flowers thrive through change, just like your Scorpio friend or partner does. A bouquet of chrysanthemums will reflect their strength and mysterious energy.

Flowers For Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Carnation

Sagittarians are full of life and energy, so carnations are a great choice. These flowers represent enthusiasm and adventure, just like your Sagittarian loved one. They’re always ready to take on the next big adventure with a smile, and carnations will add a burst of cheer to their day.

Flowers For Capricorn (December 22 – January 20): Pansy

Capricorns are deep thinkers, and pansies—often called the “thinking flower”—are a perfect fit. These flowers symbolise contemplation and wisdom, just like your Capricorn. If you want to show them how much you appreciate their grounded, thoughtful nature, a bouquet of pansies will do the trick.

Flowers For Aquarius (January 21 – February 18): Orchid

For your Aquarius, go with an orchid. These flowers are unique, beautiful, and often a little, unconventional — just like your Aquarian. Orchids symbolise love and thoughtfulness, which are two things Aquarians bring into their friendships and relationships. This flower will reflect their creative and independent spirit.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Water Lily

Pisces are dreamy, intuitive, and deeply connected to their emotions, so water lilies are a perfect match. These flowers represent purity, enlightenment, and renewal, just like Pisces’ compassionate nature. A bouquet of water lilies will show your Pisces loved one how much you admire their spiritual and caring side.
