Aries (March 21 – April 19): Bleeding Hearts
Not only do these bright spring bloomers steal the show in an Aries-like display of dominance, but they also represent passion (one thing this fire sign has a lot of!). Like a true Aries, the ambitious blossoms are one-of-a-kind as the only species in the Lamprocapnos genus.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Lily of the Valley
Sweet, down to earth and soothing, a lily of the valley is as gentle as your favorite Taurus. However, don't underestimate this delicate flower. It mirrors a Taurus' stubborn tendencies by still standing strong enough in cool climates and temperatures.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21): Azalea
You find Azaleas in an array of beautiful different colors. So, like a Gemini, you're not always sure what side you'll see when it comes to this bloom. Azaleas align with Gemini's expressive personality by being bold, dramatic, and adaptable to different places and spaces.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22): Orchid
Just as with a Cancer, once you have an orchid in your life, they become an addiction. Although these sensitive flowers require abundant care, their beauty is worth the effort. Orchids and Cancers both thrive in a happy home, surrounded by the love of family and friends.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Crossandra
AKA the Firecracker Flower. Does it surprise you this bold bloom demands attention and almost always gets it? Leos and crossandras are fast growers, and the light-loving flower parallels this sun sign's ability to unite different personalities over a shared love of no one other than itself.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Ivy
There isn't a more practical addition to any space than ivy. Loosely meaning "the clinging plant," no matter where it grows, like a Virgo, it's not likely to let go of its goals to keep expanding. Loyal and hardworking, you can expect both the flower and the sign to be in your life for a long time.
Libra (September 23 – October 23): Pansies
How often do you see pansies not surrounded by a bouquet of others? This amiable and cooperative flower is just like a Libra in its ability to always make room for others. Their unfussy nature and easy care mirror the sign's need for harmony and togetherness.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 21): Red Rose
It doesn't get more passionate than red roses, and no sign wears its heart on its sleeve better than this sign. Just as a rose's thorns protect it from harm, a Scorpio is loyal in keeping themselves and others safe by often acting in the interest of others.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Queen Anne's Lace
A little wild if you give it the space to spread, Queen Anne's lace isn't afraid to stretch beyond the bounds of its enclosure. Matching the extroverted nature of a Sagittarius, the adaptable plant provides generous blooms and brings beauty to whatever room it inhabits.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Carnation
The lovely carnation has its reasons for being traditional. As one of the world's oldest cultivated flowers, carnations, like a Capricorn, will continue to stand the test of time in life and friendship.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Dandelion
Like the independent and unpredictable Aquarius, dandelions grow where they want in even the smallest cracks and worst soil. And true to their humanitarian nature, dandelion greens have anti-inflammatory properties.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Wisteria
A Pisces' affable personality allows them to be accepted anywhere they go. It's why you find its flower counterpart adorning everything from porches and walls to arches and fences. This whimsical flower is eager to add an element of art to each place it grows.
