12 Best Mother's Day Flowers To Send This Year

Mother’s Day is about showing Mum how grateful you are for everything she does, be that passing on her pearls of wisdom or always being there with a cup of tea and hug.

Thankfully, this year, you’re allowed to spend Sunday 27th March together. But if meeting up isn’t possible or you simply want to spoil her rotten, may we suggest a beautiful bouquet of  Blossoms flowers?

Our experienced team of creative florists hand-tie every bunch of blooms with love and care. Rest assured, then, that Mum will elicit a squeal of delight when your five-star floral gift arrives on her doorstep. 

If you’re wondering which flowers to send for Mother’s Day, here are our recommended favourites, including those that symbolise motherhood, gratitude and affection.

Lilies

One of our favourite Mother’s Day flowers, the lily has long been considered a symbol of femininity, fertility and motherhood. Its history is rooted in a Greek myth involving Zeus and Hera, the king and queen of the gods. 

The story began when Zeus embarked upon an affair with the mortal princess Alceme. He fathered her son, Hercules, and asked his wife, Hera, if she would feed her heavenly milk to the newborn. Understandably, she refused his request, so he drugged her and attached Hercules to her breast. Hera awoke, flung the baby away, and sprayed her milk across the sky. 

Legend has it that most of the droplets formed the starry Milky Way, but those that fell to Earth bloomed into elegant white lilies, such as those found in our Chantilly, Rosebud and Cottage Garden bouquets. 

Should Mum prefer a burst of colour, look instead to our vibrant Coral Garden or Mardi Gras, both of which come brimming with orange lilies. For a hot shot of magenta, try our Sorbet Rose & Lily.

Roses

No mum will turn their nose up at roses, so timelessly beautiful is this ever-popular flower. In the traditional language of flowers, pretty pink roses are the best choice; they have meanings of joy and gratitude. Find them in our Cotswold Garden bouquet, alongside cherry blossom and sweet Williams, or opt for a pink rose plant that she can nurture. 

If you consider your mum your best friend, opt for cheering yellow roses, symbolising friendship. Or, of course, you could ramp up the extravagance factor with a regal bunch of 100 luxury red roses; they’re not only for Valentine’s Day.
