Blue Flowers

Blue flowers are rare in nature, which makes a blue flower bouquet feel special for a new baby boy, a Hanukkah table or a grieving family. Most designs pair blue with white, and a local florist arranges each by hand.

Knowing which blooms carry true blue helps you choose, so the guide below covers them, color pairings and blue for remembrance. For blue flowers delivery today, order by 2:00 PM ET weekdays or 1:30 PM ET Saturday, where available.

Finding the right blue flowers

The blooms that bring true blue

Few flowers grow truly blue, so florists rely on a short list. Delphinium, which can grow up to six feet tall in a garden, is the workhorse, appearing in 18 of the 53 designs, and Clear Skies Bouquet pairs belladonna delphinium with full hydrangea blooms. Hydrangeas lead in Blissful Blue Hydrangea Bouquet, offered with an apothecary jar or as the bouquet only; in the garden, their blue depends on acidic soil. Blue thistle adds spiky texture to Cherished Garden Bouquet, and Winter Whisper uses frosted thistles. Blue carnations and chrysanthemums, like those in Tie a Yellow Ribbon and Peaceful Harmony Blue and White, are typically tinted, since neither grows blue on its own.

Blue with white, yellow, or red and white

Blue and white is the calm, classic pairing, with 36 designs here. Winter Wishes Bouquet mixes roses, delphinium, carnations and lilies with rustic pinecones, and Happy Hanukkah Bouquet keeps to blue and white blooms for the table where the menorah sits; find more among our Hanukkah flowers. Yellow makes blue look even brighter, and the pair feels sunny and relaxed in Dorothy's Dress, with yellow roses, hydrangea and dusty miller in a six-inch bubble bowl. Red, white and blue appears in seven blue flower arrangements, from the Veterans Tribute - Cremation Wreath to Tie a Yellow Ribbon, a thank-you for a veteran coming home. See Veterans Day flowers.

Blue for sympathy and remembrance

More than half of this collection is made for a loss, because blue is often linked with peace, calm and remembrance. For a family's home, Healing Tears Blue & White gathers delphinium, white roses, lilies and carnations in a clear glass cube. For the service, Ocean Breeze Spray stands on a tall easel, and Peace, Prayers & Blessings Blue & White arrives in a keepsake willow basket. Our blue and white sympathy flowers bring these together.

Blue flower questions

What do blue flowers symbolize?

Blue flowers are often linked with peace, calm, trust and loyalty. Because true blue is so rare in nature, they've also come to suggest mystery and the hard to reach. Light blues feel serene and fresh, while deeper blues feel steady and sincere.

Why are blue flowers so hard to find?

Very few plants make the pigments needed for a true blue petal, so many blooms that look blue lean violet. There's no naturally blue rose, for example, and the blue roses you may see elsewhere are usually dyed or tinted. That's why florists turn to delphinium, hydrangea and thistle for real blue.

Can I send blue flowers for a new baby boy?

Yes. With our Designer's Choice for a baby boy, the florist builds with soft blues and crisp whites from the freshest flowers that day. For a hospital, add the parent's full name and room number if you have it. See more new baby flowers and gifts.

Will my blue arrangement match the photo?

Most designs match closely. Every design is made by hand, and blue blooms vary in tone from season to season. If a flower, color or container isn't on hand, the florist may use one of equal or higher value, keeping the blue look and the feel of the design.
