Shop By Flower Color

You know what's funny? After all these years in flowers, I still get customers who call and say "I just want something yellow" or "she loves purple, got anything purple?" And honestly, I love those calls. Sometimes you don't need to know the difference between a gerbera and a gardenia. Sometimes you just know you want something red because it's bold, or white because it feels right.

That's what this page is for. Pick a color, any color, and we'll show you what we've got.

The Color Thing Nobody Talks About

Here's something I learned from one of my first florist partners, Bev. She told me that people pick flower colors for two reasons. First, they know the recipient loves that color. Simple. Second, and this is the interesting bit, they pick based on what they want to say but can't find the words for.

Red when you've messed up and need to apologize big time. Yellow when you want to cheer someone up who's having a rough week. White when words genuinely fail you, like during grief. Pink when you want to celebrate but keep it soft. Orange when you want to stand out from every other bouquet they'll get.

Bev was right, as usual. Still is, actually. We still work with her.

Quick Reality Check on Colors

Not every florist has every color in stock every day. Shocking, I know. But seriously, if you're dead set on a specific shade of lavender and won't accept anything else, give Bonnie a call at 800-963-5784. She's brilliant at working with our florists to find exactly what you're after. She once spent 20 minutes helping a guy find the exact shade of coral roses his wife had at their wedding 30 years ago. Found them too.

The Seasonal Thing

Colors shift with seasons. Fall? You'll see more oranges, deep reds, those rusty chrysanthemum shades. Spring? That's when the pastels go crazy, soft pinks, baby blues if you're lucky. Summer brings the bright stuff, yellows that actually hurt your eyes, hot pinks, electric purples. Winter tends to go either pure white or deep jewel tones, burgundy, emerald, that sort of thing.

Just something to keep in mind. Fighting the seasons usually means paying more for flowers flown in from who knows where. And trust me, a rose that just flew 3,000 miles looks tired. You can tell.

Mixed Colors or Single Color?

People ask this all the time. Here's my take: single color makes a statement. It's bold, clean, says you put thought into it. Mixed colors feel more garden picked, more spontaneous, more "I grabbed these because they made me smile." Neither is wrong. Both work. Depends on what you're going for.

Though I'll tell you, nothing beats a massive bunch of single color tulips. Like 30 of them, all the same shade. Just saying.

The 3 O'Clock Panic Color Choice

You know that call. It's 3 PM, someone just remembered an anniversary, birthday, or worse, and they need flowers delivered today. If that's you right now, here's what works: bright mixed colors. Florists always have mixed bouquets ready to go. They're crowd pleasers. They photograph well for that "thank you" text you're hoping for. And they say "I definitely didn't forget" even when you definitely did.

We've all been there. No judgment.

Pick your color and let's find something perfect. And if you're stuck between two colors or have no idea what you want, that's fine too. That's what our mixed bouquets are for. Sometimes the best choice is not choosing at all.

One last thing. If you're picking white flowers for a happy occasion, maybe mention that to us in the card message or delivery instructions. White can read as sympathy flowers to some folks, and we'd hate for your "Congratulations on the new job" flowers to send the wrong message. It's happened. More than once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do red roses cost more than other colors?

Supply and demand, honestly. Everyone wants red roses for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, apologies. Growers know this, wholesalers know this, and yeah, you end up paying for it. Pink and white roses? Usually cheaper. Yellow? Almost always cheaper. Here's a hack though: deep burgundy or hot pink roses say "romance" too, cost less, and you look like you put more thought into it than just grabbing red.

What if I order purple flowers but the florist doesn't have purple?

This happens. Bonnie will call you, first off. But here's what usually goes down: the florist will suggest something close, like lavender or a pink-purple mix. Or they might suggest adding purple ribbon or filler flowers to get that purple feeling without hunting down purple roses in January. We've been doing this long enough to know that most people care more about the flowers being beautiful than the exact Pantone match.

Do the colors on my screen match what gets delivered?

Look, every monitor is different, every phone screen shows colors differently, and don't get me started on how flowers photograph. That soft peach rose might look pink on your phone and orange on your laptop. Plus, nature doesn't do exact matches. If you need a very specific shade, call us. Seriously. Bonnie can describe exactly what shade of yellow those sunflowers are, and she's weirdly good at it.

What colors should I avoid for get well flowers?

White lilies. Just don't. They scream funeral to most people, especially older folks. All white arrangements can go either way, some people find them elegant, others think someone died. Bright colors are your friend here: yellow, orange, hot pink, mixed colors. You want "spring is coming" not "rest in peace."

Why are blue flowers so hard to find?

Because truly blue flowers barely exist in nature. There's no blue rose, despite what that wedding Pinterest board showed you. Delphiniums are blue, yes. Hydrangeas can be blue. Iris, sometimes. But that bright electric blue you're imagining? That's dyed. We can get dyed blue flowers, they're just not natural and some people have strong feelings about that. Your call.

What color flowers last the longest once delivered?

The darker, the better usually. Deep red, burgundy, purple, they hide the aging better. White shows every spot and brown edge first. Yellow depends on the flower, sunflowers last forever, yellow roses not so much. But here's the real answer: how long flowers last has way more to do with how fresh they were when cut and how they're cared for than what color they are.

Should I send pink or red roses to someone I just started dating?

Pink. Always pink for new relationships. Red roses on date three is like saying "I love you" on date three. Too much, too fast. Pink says "I really like you" without the pressure. Coral or peach roses work too. Save the red for when you're both sure this is something. Trust me on this one, I've gotten enough panic calls from people who sent red too soon.

What colors work best for sympathy flowers if I don't know the person's preferences?

Soft mixed colors or white with green. You can't go wrong with white roses, white lilies, white carnations with some greenery. Pastels work too: soft pink, lavender, pale yellow. Avoid anything too bright or festive looking. No orange, no hot pink, no rainbow mixes. The goal is quiet elegance. And always, always include a card, even if all it says is "Thinking of you."

Is it tacky to ask what color flowers someone wants?

Not at all. Some people are particular about colors, some genuinely don't care. If you're spending money on flowers, might as well get colors they'll love. I'd rather someone ask my wife what colors she wants than guess wrong. Though if you're asking because you forgot what their favorite color is after 10 years of marriage, maybe just go with mixed and hope for the best.
