Gardening can be an engaging hobby that gives back. Additionally, gardening is a beautiful way to commemorate special birthdays.
Give the gardener in your life something they will remember fondly for a long time! There is a range of unique plants to choose from that will bring delight after their party has concluded.
January
If someone in your January birthday list has a flower-inspired birthday, show them some extra love by giving one of these delightful flower gifts. From fragrant candles to grow-your-own kits, these birthday blooms will brighten their day and help make this January birthday truly memorable!
Traditional January birth flowers include carnations and snowdrops. These late winter and early spring blooms symbolize hope, beauty, resilience, ruffled petals, and various colors, while snowdrops boast a rich history. Both flowers make beautiful bouquets in fresh-cut or natural landscapes as they’re low maintenance and easy to grow – plus, here are some gift ideas incorporating these blooms as they’d make beautiful surprises on their birthday!
February
Contrary to what many may assume for Valentine’s Day, February’s symbolic flower isn’t roses but violets and iris – two traditionally symbolize faithfulness and spiritual wisdom. Irises, with their long petals, represent faith, courage, and wisdom, while violets symbolize affection and love with their sweet fragrance and beautiful color.
March birthday celebrants usually choose daffodils (or narcissus) as their birth flower, as their bright yellow petals symbolize springtime and new beginnings – ideal symbols to mark such an auspicious milestone! Also associated with joy and hopefulness, these are perfect sentiments for celebrating someone special’s special day!
March
March is filled with bright sunshine, warmth, and new beginnings – so it only seems fitting that March birth flowers should include either daffodils or jonquils (both Narcissus flower varieties).
These vibrant blossoms have long been recognized as “spring’s first love,” symbolizing new life, rejuvenation, and undying affection.
Gift tulips to someone born in March or anyone looking for hope and joy this spring! For birthdays in other months, give tulips, carnations, or irises as they symbolize affection, loyalty, and faith, respectively, or send any of their rainbow of colorful blossoms, which come as easy-care plants – guaranteed to bring smiles all around!
April
April’s birth flowers are the daisy and sweet pea. Representing happiness and purity, respectively, each flower symbolizes joyous living, with daisies representing purity, while sweet peas convey love, romance, and blissful living – both perfect gifts for someone born in April!
April temperatures can be cold and damp, yet April is when gardens start transforming themselves. When the soil dries out, sow cool-season veggies directly and transplant perennials or bulb plants before using any leftover snow as decoration by stringing colorful fresh produce bouquets along the border or placing corn stalks atop flower pots.
June
Roses are the beloved birth flower of June, widely celebrated and appreciated throughout the globe. Roses’ long history and diverse symbolism are unparalleled – explore more in our Rose Flower Hub, where we offer tips, inspiration, and care guides!
Ancient cultures worldwide began the tradition of associating flowers with months centuries ago, and over time, this list has evolved and grown more comprehensive. With two birth flowers for June, gift-givers and recipients can choose the ideal flower combination to represent June in their gift exchanges and receive.
June’s second birth flower is honeysuckle, known for its heady fragrance, which conjures summer memories. Like roses, honeysuckle also symbolizes love and happiness – perfect gifts on anyone’s birthday! Bring home beautiful bunches of roses or sweet honeysuckle plants as tokens of appreciation to show yourself how much you care!
July
Celebrating birthdays during the summer months offers an ideal opportunity to connect with and grow your flowers and understand their meaning. July’s birth flower, larkspur (delphinium), symbolizes fickle love or first love, while pink water lilies symbolize devotion and purity; in August, gladiolus represents strength of character while fall-blooming asters suggest faith and wisdom – adding two birth flowers each month gives this tradition greater flexibility and personalization.

August
August is the time when summer ends, and life returns to normal; it is known as “Gladiolus and Poppy Month.”
Add colorful blooms to your summer birthday celebrations as an aesthetic choice because birth flowers hold meaningful symbols that can reveal much about an individual.
Gladiolus, the primary birthday flower for August, symbolizes strength of character and integrity. In ancient Rome, gladiolus flowers were known as gladiator champion flowers, with spectators donning colorful displays as they celebrated victories on the gladiatorial field. Today, they remain popular for 40th anniversaries; Victorian floriography uses them to signify infatuation and faithfulness, while Poppies are more commonly associated with remembering memories and envisioning the future.
September
September birthday flowers include the daisy-like aster and morning glory flowers. Asters, or starwort flowers, symbolize all-powerful love with their bright, rayed blooms in shades of pink, white, red, and lilac. Morning glories, also known as starworts or frost flowers, represent faith and wisdom, while house plants such as beautiful green ferns or giant Monstera deliciosa are great additions.
Asters are beloved bee-feeding flowers, making Forget Me Not seeds an excellent birthday present for gardeners celebrating September birthdays! They can add color and nourish hardworking bees with one gift!
October
Autumn ushers in pumpkin spice lattes, crisp mornings, and the premieres of new television seasons – perfect conditions to celebrate your loved one’s birthday with an autumn theme featuring Halloween decor and seasonal food baskets!
October’s birth flowers include the cosmos (Cosmos atrosanguineus), a delicate bloom with vibrant hues that range from red to nearly black and are symbolic of balance and harmony. Other October flowers include marigolds (Tagetes genus), calendula, or “common marigold.”
Drake, Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams, and Will Smith are among many famous Libras (September 23 to October 22) who make an example. Libras tend to be expressive and social individuals who strive for balance in life, as depicted by their zodiac sign’s scales symbol. Furthermore, these individuals make great companions – making them great allies indeed!
