Your Guide To Birth Month Flowers





It's that time of year when you sit down with a cup of coffee, get cosy and fill out your calendar with everyones birthdays for the next 12 months. Get one step ahead by adding the flower that represents their birth month... because flowers are always a good idea!


Birthdays are a special celebration and a bouquet of fresh flowers is always a hit. Choosing flowers that match with their birth month is a thoughtful gift that will definitely brighten up their day.


Each month has a flower that symbolizes the month of someones birth. Here's a quick list of each month with the corresponding flower(s) and what the meaning is behind them.



January: Carnation/Snowdrop

Love, fascination and distinction.


February: Violet/Iris/Primrose
