Birthday Flower for September: The Aster and Its Meaning
You most likely will be familiar with birthstones and zodiac signs for the months of the year. But each month also has a birth flower associated with it, along with characteristics and meaning. Check out our guide to the 12 birthday flowers here and their meanings to help you discover your own birthday flower.
If you were born in September, your birthday flower is the aster — a star-like bloom that carries centuries of symbolism. Known for its delicate petals and radiant colours, the aster is more than just beautiful; it’s filled with meaning that makes it the perfect gift for September birthdays.
At Luxe Cards, we love weaving the symbolism of asters into our personalised gifts — from scented Bloom cards to keepsake jewellery, candles, home fragrance, and even thoughtful kitchenware like mugs, aprons, and tea towels. Here’s everything you need to know about the September birth flower.
The Meaning of the Aster Flower
The word aster comes from the Greek word for “star,” and just like a star, this flower symbolises light, hope, and guidance. Asters are also associated with:
-
Wisdom and Knowledge – representing the reflective, thoughtful nature of September souls
-
Love and Devotion – a flower long used in myths to symbolise undying affection
-
Elegance and Patience – a gentle reminder to move through life with grace
In Victorian flower language, asters were often given as a symbol of loyalty and everlasting love.
Why the Aster is Perfect for September Birthdays
Those born in September are known for their wisdom, steady nature, and thoughtful presence — qualities beautifully mirrored in the aster. Gifting someone their birthday flower is a way of honouring not just their birth month but also the qualities that make them unique.
