Daisies & Daisy Bouquets FAQs

What Do Daisies Mean and Symbolize?

Daisies are known to symbolize innocence, purity, and new beginnings, making them an excellent gift for new mothers, newlyweds, and college grads alike. Do you know someone starting a new job, moving into a new home, or otherwise experiencing a big change in their life? Daisies symbolize new starts. Plus, they are such a cheerful flower!

The name "daisy" comes from the Old English “day’s eye.” The flower looks like an eye opening in the morning and closing again at night. The daisy looks renewed every morning, leading to the saying “fresh as a daisy.” He loves me, he loves me not … this most popular flower superstition traces back to daisies. While the result of peeling off daisy petals isn’t a reliable indicator of your beloved’s true intentions, it’s as good a superstition as any!

With their bright, bold hues, daisies can also be associated with different meanings based on their color. For example:

• Soft pink daisies are perfect for romantic gestures, while bright pink variations compliment birthday bouquets. They are a symbol of joy.

• Orange daisy arrangements are a great way to welcome in the summer or treat someone to a truly unique bouquet.

• Multicolor daisy flower bouquets are brimming with excitement and go well with celebrations like Easter, promotions, or even to say “get well soon” (wildflower bouquets are also a great option).

• Yellow daisies signify friendship. Send a lovely yellow daisy arrangement or bouquet to a friend in need of cheering.

• Red daisies, like other red flowers, are a sign of love and passion.

• White flower arrangements featuring classic white daisies are commonly used for bridal bouquets, to welcome newborns, or to express sympathy.

Above and beyond these traditional meanings, daisies are a notably cheerful flower that can be sent for nearly any occasion.

How to Care for Daisies

Daisies are among the longest-lasting of cut flowers in bouquets and floral arrangements. Extend their beauty even longer with the right care. To properly care for your daisy delivery, you will want to:

• Cut the stems at a diagonal angle to allow them to absorb water.

• Only cut the stems about an inch or so, so that you can continue to trim them without making them too short.

• Keep them in cool, fresh water with their flower food.

If you are saving your flower delivery daisies to display for a special event or dinner, wait to take off the straw that keeps them standing straight until you’re ready to set them out.

How Do You Preserve Daisy Arrangements?
