What Are Our Most Searched Flowers State by State

Have you ever wondered which flower blooms brightest in the hearts of your fellow Americans? As spring arrives and gardens wake up, the team at Lily's Florist takes a look at a recent analysis from data insight company YDAFT looked at Google Trends search data across the nation to find the most popular flower in each U.S. state. The results are both unsurprising (roses still reign in many places) and delightfully varied. From coast to coast, here’s a friendly look at each state’s top-searched bloom, plus some fun highlights from the findings.

Key Highlights from the Flower Trends

Some interesting takeaways from YDAFT’s Google Trends analysis include:

• Roses – the #1 flower in 8 states (including New York and New Jersey) These classic beauties are popular almost everywhere, so it’s no shock they lead the pack.

• Marigolds – top bloom in 5 states (e.g. Colorado and Delaware). This hardy orange-and-yellow flower seems to be a gardening favorite in several regions.

• Hydrangeas – the most-searched in 4 states (such as Alabama and Connecticut). Lush hydrangea shrubs clearly have a devoted fan base, especially along the East Coast.

• Sunflowers – a favorite in 3 states (Kentucky, New Mexico, and North Dakota). Even in early spring, these sunny blooms are capturing attention in states known for wide open spaces.

• Tulips – the top choice in 2 states (Texas and Oklahoma). Everything’s bigger in Texas — including the love for tulips! These spring bulbs are also beloved next door in Oklahoma.

• Snapdragons – a surprise favorite in 2 neighboring states (Idaho and Wyoming). Both states share ideal cool spring conditions, which might explain their shared passion for these bright, early-blooming flowers.

• Orchids – the #1 search in Hawaii. No surprise here — the exotic orchid thrives in Hawaii’s tropical climate, and it seems to be the islands’ pride and joy

Of course, not every state’s pick was a common flower. A few other blooms (like daisies, lilies, and even a rare waxflower) claimed the top spot in one or two states each, showing how diverse America’s floral favorites can be.
