A Guide To Birth Month Flowers and Their Meanings
Flowers have always spoken a language of their own. A single bloom can carry love, remembrance, joy, or hope — which is why birth month flowers are such a timeless tradition. Just like gemstones, each month of the year has a flower (sometimes two) associated with it, carrying symbolic meaning and energy that reflects the people born in that month.
At Luxe Cards, we adore weaving this symbolism into our scented Bloom cards and personalised Bloom gifts. Giving someone their birth flower is more than just beautiful — it’s a way to show thoughtfulness, connection, and love.
Here’s your guide to all 12 birth month flowers and what they mean:
