Red roses
Red carnations
White daisies
White lilies
Queen Anne’s lace
Blue delphinium
Blue iris
Blue or white hydrangeas
And, many of our Memorial Day flower arrangements include an American flag or elegant bow for additional patriotic flare. If you are shopping for arrangement that celebrates the unofficial start of summer, we also have mixed bouquets of colorful Memorial Day flowers.
What flower is most associated with Memorial Day?
Red poppies have long been associated with Memorial Day, courage, and sacrifice. However, they aren’t ideal for floral bouquets. Instead, we suggest Memorial Day flowers that include blue irises, red and white roses, or carnations.
What flower signifies remembrance?
There are a variety of flowers that signify remembrance, including gladiolus, statice, and forget-me-nots. However, there are other flowers that can be used to honor the loss of fallen heroes and express mourning, including carnations, chrysanthemums, and lilies. To honor your beloved service member, whether they are still with you or not, you can also consider the type of Memorial Day flowers they would appreciate most. Our Memorial Day baskets and bouquets are as diverse as the loved ones that they are meant to represent. FTD specializes in high-quality Memorial Day gifts that you will be proud to present on this special holiday. Order red, white, and blue today! We even offer same-day delivery to ensure that your patriotic flower arrangement arrives in time for your Memorial Day celebration.
