Passover Flowers

Passover flowers brighten the seder table and make a gracious gift for the family hosting. Choose a blue and white bouquet, an all-white arrangement of roses, lilies and snapdragons, or blue hydrangeas, each arranged by hand by a florist close to the recipient.

Passover's dates change each year, so check the calendar and aim to deliver before the first seder.

Choosing Passover flowers

A Passover centerpiece or a gift for the host

Passover arrives with spring, and fresh flowers echo its themes of renewal and freedom. They're also a thoughtful Passover gift because they sidestep the question of whether food is kosher for Passover. For the seder table, keep the centerpiece low enough for conversation, or set a taller piece like the Classic All White Arrangement, in a glass cylinder vase, on a sideboard. Wonderful Wishes Bouquet brings blue and white tones, Blissful Blue Hydrangea Bouquet comes as a bouquet or in an apothecary jar, and Alluring Elegance Bouquet gathers lilies, Queen Anne's Lace and Veronica with eucalyptus. For more all-white designs, see our white flowers.

Passover flower questions

Are flowers a good gift for a Passover seder host?

Yes. Flowers are a safe, welcome host gift, since food gifts often need to be kosher for Passover and many hosts keep careful rules about their kitchen during the holiday. Send them a day or two early so the host isn't arranging blooms while cooking.

When should Passover flowers arrive?

Before the holiday begins at sundown on the first night. Some observant families avoid handling deliveries on the first days of the holiday, and there are no Sunday deliveries, so a day or two before the first seder is safest. Passover usually falls in March or April and lasts about a week.

What flowers suit a Passover centerpiece?

Spring flowers in white, blue or soft pastels suit the seder table, and many families favor blue and white. Lilies, roses and hydrangeas are all popular, though hydrangeas carry little scent, which keeps the focus on the meal. Keep stems low on the table. Browse more blue flowers.
