Meaningful Flowers for March Birthdays

Do you know someone with a birthday in March? Are you planning on giving them some flowers? An easy way to make your gift extra special is to choose flowers that create a meaningful message.

With knowing just a few things, your floral gift can be personalized specifically for someone with a March birthday.

Birth month flower:

Every month has a flower associated with it - its birth month flower. The flower for the month of March is the daffodil. The meaning for daffodils is ‘new beginnings’.

Zodiac:

Every zodiac sign has a flower that represents it. The signs and flowers for March birthdays are:

Pisces: February 19 - March 20: Your flower is the water lily. The meaning for water lilies is ‘purity of heart’.

Aries: March 21 - April 19: Your flower is the honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is a symbol of ‘pure happiness’.

(Water lilies and honeysuckle would be difficult to give as a gift, but perhaps you could incorporate them into your gift by getting a card with a picture of a water lily or honeysuckle on it.)

Colour:

Aquamarine: March’s birthstone - a light bluish-green colour. To create a flower arrangement that reflects an aquamarine birthstone, choose light blue flowers mixed with greenery.

Flowers you could use: Hydrangea, tweedia, eryngium, delphinium, and hyacinth.

Yellow: Yellow is another great colour choice for March. It’s a cheerful colour and you’ll easily be able to represent it with March’s flower, the daffodil. (Bonus - a mixture of blue and yellow flowers make a striking combination.)

Seasonal:

March is abundant with flowers that are available all year long, (lilies, alstroemeria, gerberas, lisianthus, roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, snapdragons), as well as with spring flowers that are just beginning to burst into bloom.

March flowers: Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, iris.

Top tip: You don’t need to include all these options. Pick what works best for the message you want to send and you’ll have created a unique and meaningful gift for that lucky March birthday person.

Suggestion:

If I were to give flowers to a friend with a birthday in March, I would create a very cheerful and seasonal bouquet with a mixture of daffodils (to symbolize the start of a new year) and tweedia (to represent the aquamarine birthstone).
