How to choose St. Patrick's Day flowers

Festive green designs

For an unmistakably Irish look, the St. Patrick's Day Flower Basket fills a basket with Bells of Ireland, green carnations and poms, with a shamrock ribbon tied around the handle. The Irish Garden - Local Florist pairs Bells of Ireland with green hydrangea and emerald pompoms, the tall bells lifting the design so it never sits flat. Lucky Clover mixes white lilies, green hydrangeas, purple stock and hypericum berries with tiny Bells of Ireland, and Designer's Choice - St. Patrick's Day is planned entirely around green, using whatever green stems look brightest that day.

St. Patrick's Day centerpiece ideas

A party table needs something that holds its shape. Pot of Gold sets sunflowers and orchids in a cube vase for a cheerful gold-and-green center, and Shamrock layers hydrangea, lilies, roses, hypericum and orchids in a cube of its own. It's Your Lucky Day Bouquet keeps things simple with white carnations and green button poms, and carnations hold up for days, which helps if the party runs all weekend. More ideas for the table are among our flower centerpieces.

St. Patrick's Day gifts that work beyond March 17

Several designs here read as simply green and white, so they double as a thank-you or a just-because gift. Emerald Isle sets white roses against deep green foliage in a clear cube vase, with no shamrocks or novelty extras. Simple Elegance pairs creamy and green hydrangea with curly willow, and the Emerald Green Bouquet mixes chrysanthemums and roses with leafy foliage and a green bow.

St. Patrick's Day flower questions

What is the official flower of St. Patrick's Day?

There isn't an official one. The shamrock, a young clover, is Ireland's best-known emblem, and Bells of Ireland and green carnations are florists' favorites for the day. Despite the name, Bells of Ireland come from western Asia; they earned it for their bright green color.

Is it a 3 or 4 leaf clover for St. Patrick's Day?

Three. The shamrock has three leaves, and legend says St. Patrick used one to explain the Holy Trinity. The rarer four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck rather than of the saint, though both show up in decorations for the day.

What is a good St. Patrick's Day gift?

Something green and cheerful suits most people. Flowers make easy St. Patrick's Day gifts for a coworker, a host or a friend far away, and the St. Patrick's Day Flower Basket arrives ready to display with no vase needed. For a whole office, see our corporate gifts.

Can St. Patrick's Day flowers be delivered to an office?

Yes. Office deliveries go to the front desk or reception during business hours, so include the company name with the recipient's name. When March 17 falls on a weekend, have them arrive Friday so the team can enjoy them, since there are no Sunday deliveries.

What do green flowers mean?

Green flowers are often linked with luck, renewal and new growth, which fits a holiday that arrives with spring. Green carnations are closely tied to St. Patrick's Day, and green hydrangea adds a soft, full texture. Gathering Gratitude blends purple and green for a less traditional take.
