What Is the Flower of April?

April actually has two flowers associated with it: the daisy and the sweet pea. Both are stunning in their own way and offer different vibes depending on the mood or message you want to send.

Daisies: Cheerful and Classic

Daisies are all about innocence, new beginnings, and joy. With their clean white petals and sunny yellow centers, they perfectly reflect the energy of early spring. At Hosanna Floral, we love pairing daisies with greenery like eucalyptus and accent flowers like baby's breath or spray roses to keep the look light, airy, and fresh.

A recent customer in Montrose asked us to create a birthday bouquet for her daughter who had just moved into her first apartment. She wanted something simple, sweet, and uplifting. We put together a mix of white daisies, lavender stock, and yellow tulips—and her daughter told us it made her entire week.

Sweet Peas: Fragrant and Feminine

Sweet peas are another April favorite. These delicate blooms are known for their soft petals, climbing vines, and sweet fragrance. In the Victorian era, they were often gifted as a way to say "thank you" or "goodbye" with grace and gratitude. Today, we love using them in romantic, spring-inspired bouquets.

Sweet peas have been particularly popular in our Telluride weddings, especially for brides looking for something organic and whimsical. Their texture and subtle pastel shades pair beautifully with garden roses and ranunculus.

The Meaning Behind April’s Blooms

Flowers have always carried meaning, and the flower of April is no exception. Whether you’re giving them as a gift or incorporating them into a celebration, it’s helpful to know what each bloom symbolizes.

Daisies Symbolize:

• Innocence
• New beginnings
• Cheerfulness
• Motherhood

Daisies are a beautiful gesture for new moms, spring birthdays, or anyone stepping into a new season of life.

Sweet Peas Symbolize:

• Gratitude
• Blissful pleasure
• Parting gifts
• Friendship

They’re a lovely option for thank-you gifts, bridal showers, or even as a parting gift for a coworker or friend moving away.

How to Use April Flowers in Arrangements

Whether you’re gifting a bouquet or planning your wedding, April’s flowers bring the charm of the season into any space.

Ideas for Flower Arrangements:

• Pair daisies with yellow tulips and pink carnations for a classic, cheerful bouquet.
• Combine sweet peas with roses and anemones for a romantic, cottage-garden vibe.
• Add seasonal greens like Italian ruscus or eucalyptus to elevate the look and add structure.

At Hosanna Floral, we recently worked with a bride from Ouray who wanted something simple yet elegant for her April wedding. Her bouquet featured a mix of white daisies, soft pink sweet peas, and just a touch of pale blue delphinium to reflect the Colorado sky. It was a hit—and looked amazing in photos!

When to Send April Flowers

April flowers are perfect for so many occasions. Whether you’re sending them to someone you love or treating yourself, these blooms deliver joy with every petal.

Perfect Occasions for April Flowers:

• April Birthdays – A bouquet of daisies is a sweet way to say, “I’m thinking of you.”
• Mother’s Day Prep – Start early with a gift of flowers and a handwritten card.
• Spring Weddings – Seasonal blooms are always fresher and more cost-effective.
• Thank You Gifts – Sweet peas are the perfect way to say “thanks” with elegance.

April Flower Care Tips from Hosanna Floral

Daisies and sweet peas are beautiful, but they’re also delicate—especially the sweet peas. With a little extra care, though, you can keep them looking fresh longer.

Caring for Daisies:

• Trim stems at an angle before placing in water.
• Change water every 2–3 days.
• Remove any leaves below the waterline.

Caring for Sweet Peas:

• Keep them cool and out of direct sunlight.
• Re-cut stems every other day to improve hydration.
• Use a narrow-neck vase to support their stems and prevent drooping.

One of our Gunnison clients orders a weekly bouquet for her home and told us she’s managed to keep sweet peas alive for almost 10 days using our tips—especially keeping them away from the heat of the kitchen stove.
