How to choose International Women's Day flowers

Colors with meaning for March 8

Purple is the signature color of International Women's Day, often linked with justice and dignity, while green and white trace back to the suffragette movement. Lovely Lavender Medley gathers lavender and white blooms in a clear cylinder vase, and Lavish in Lavender Bouquet sets roses in a crescent of lavender and pink. In Italy, sprigs of yellow mimosa are the traditional gift, and the sunny Floral Embrace, with yellow and orange blooms and pops of pink and purple, carries that warmth.

International Women's Day questions

When is International Women's Day?

Every year on March 8. It has been marked for more than a century, and the United Nations began celebrating it in 1975. When March 8 falls on a Sunday, choose Saturday or an earlier day for delivery, since there are no Sunday deliveries.

What flower symbolizes International Women's Day?

There's no official flower, but yellow mimosa is the best known, especially in Italy, where friends, family and coworkers hand out sprigs on March 8. Purple flowers are popular too, since purple is the day's signature color, and sunflowers are often linked with strength and confidence.

What is a good gift for International Women's Day?

Flowers with a personal note are a classic, since they're easy to send and feel like real recognition. Mention something specific she did this year. For a team, one generous arrangement for a shared space usually lands better than several small ones.

What should I write on an International Women's Day card?

Name what she means to you. For a mentor: "Thank you for teaching me to speak up. Happy International Women's Day." For a sister: "Proud of you every single day." For a team: "Grateful to work alongside all of you." Add your message at checkout and it goes on a card.
