What flowers are used for Mother's Day in Australia?

Mother's Day is just around the corner (Sunday 14th May 2023), and it's the perfect time to show your mum how much you appreciate her. One of the most traditional ways to do this is by giving her a bouquet of flowers, and one of the most popular flowers for this occasion is the chrysanthemum. The official Mother's Day flower in many countries is Carnation but because it is autumn in Australia for Mother’s Day, and carnations are a spring flower.


In Australia, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, and chrysanthemums are the official flower for the occasion. Chrysanthemums are native to Asia and are often associated with the autumn season, but they have become a popular choice for Mother's Day because of their symbolism of love and appreciation.



Chrysanthemums come in a wide range of colours, including white, yellow, pink, red, and purple, and each colour has its own special meaning. For example, white chrysanthemums symbolise purity and innocence, while yellow chrysanthemums represent friendship and joy. Pink chrysanthemums are associated with love and admiration, and red chrysanthemums symbolise passion and deep affection.


In addition to their symbolism, preserved chrysanthemums are also a practical choice for Mother's Day because they are long-lasting and low-maintenance. If you're looking for a gift that will last longer than a few days, a bouquet of dried or preserved chrysanthemums could be the perfect option.


At our online dried and preserved flower shop, we offer a variety of chrysanthemums in different colours and arrangements that are perfect for Mother's Day. Our preserved chrysanthemums are carefully preserved to maintain their vibrant colours and shape, so your mum can enjoy them for months or even years to come.


In addition to traditional bouquets, we also offer unique arrangements of chrysanthemums that can be displayed in vases or even hung on walls. Our preserved chrysanthemums are also a great option for mums who have allergies or sensitivities to fresh flowers.


This Mother's Day, show your mum how much you appreciate her with a beautiful bouquet or arrangement of chrysanthemums. Whether she prefers dried or preserved flowers, we have a wide selection to choose from that will make her feel loved and appreciated.
