I’m a florist – here is every zodiac sign’s perfect Valentine’s Day flower

There’s no need to stress over finding the perfect bouquet for your beau on Valentine’s Day, as it may already be written in the stars.

For some, our obsession with the zodiac runs deep from checking horoscopes daily to planning our lives around the dreaded Mercury retrograde – so why not bring star signs into our present planning, too?

Zodiac flowers, blooms that match each star sign, are a fun and personal way to show someone you really know them – especially if they too, are obsessed with the zodiac.

David Denyer, a florist from Eflorist says: “Valentine’s Day is about making a statement, and why settle for something predictable when you can go for something personal and meaningful?

“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.”

He continued: “Zodiac flowers 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.”

The perfect Valentine’s flowers for each Zodiac sign

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19): Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is bold, adventurous, and full of energy, just like the special Aries in your life. David adds that just like how the honeysuckle vines twist and turn, an Aries will love excitement and change, making this flower the perfect match for their adventurous spirit.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20): Poppy

Taurus is steady, reliable, and always there when you need them, so poppies are the way to go.

The expert explains: “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.”

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20): Lavender

“Lavender is the perfect pick for your Gemini. It’s calming and versatile, just like Gemini’s easygoing and adaptable personality,” says David. “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.”

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22): Acanthus

Much like those with a Cancer sign, acanthus flowers are protective and nurturing. They represent the love and care Cancers give to those they hold close, much like the acanthus plant that shields delicate flowers, making this a perfect choice for the Cancer in your life.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22): Sunflower

Sunflowers are the ultimate symbol of confidence and warmth, making them a good representation of the bold and bright Leo, who will often find themselves at the centre of attention. David said: “Sunflowers will make them feel seen and appreciated for their natural charm and radiant energy.”

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22): Morning Glory

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

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22): Rose

Roses are the perfect flower for Libras. David explained: “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.”

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21): Chrysanthemum

“Chrysanthemums are all about resilience and transformation, which makes them a great fit for Scorpio,” said the florist. “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.”

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21): Carnation

Symbolising enthusiasm and adventure, Carnations are the flower that best represents the full-of-life Sagittarius. The Sagittarius is always ready to take on the next big adventure with a smile, and carnations will add a burst of cheer to their day.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19): Pansy

Capricorns are deep thinkers, and pansies — often called the ‘thinking flower’ — are a perfect fit. David added: “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.”

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18): Orchid

An orchid is the perfect flower for the Aquarius in your life, as they are unique, beautiful, and often a little, unconventional — just like your Aquarian. These beautiful flowers represent love and thoughtfulness, which are two things Aquarians bring into their friendships and relationships. Alongside this, an orchid reflects their creative and independent spirit.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20): Water Lily

Recommending a water lily for your Pisces partner, David said: “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.”
