The Three Best Mother’s Day Flowers in 2026
What choice of flower never fails? Which blooms are most brilliant in spring? Here we showcase the top three flowers that remain some of the strongest crowd favourites in 2026.
Mother’s Day Roses
Ok, it’s no surprise that roses make it to the top of our list. Roses are a great choice for Mother’s Day because they’re meaningful, versatile and reliably long-lasting. They come in all kinds of symbolic colours, so you’re sure to find a shade that’s perfect for mum and comes with meaning. Try pink for appreciation, white for respect or yellow for joy. Roses also hold up beautifully once arranged, giving them a good vase life. They work in both simple and more modern designs, making them well-suited to any home.
Our pick of the bunch:
Pastel shaded roses never get old. We just love the soft, blushing tones of this Simple Pink Bouquet with sprigs of eucalyptus. Many bouquets in our Mother’s Day collection also feature exquisite spray roses, each stem blooming with multiple rose heads for a fuller, more luxurious display.
Mother’s Day Tulips
Bright, cheerful, and elegant, this iconic Dutch flower is a much-loved Mother’s Day flower favourite. There are plenty of colour options available to make personalising your bouquet a breeze. Spring tulips naturally symbolise warmth, care, and new beginnings, which fits perfectly with the spirit of Mother’s Day. They also tend to have a long vase life when kept cool, making them a practical option that mums can enjoy for days. Overall, they’re a feel-good flower that delivers instant freshness and positivity, so you just can’t go wrong.
Our pick of the bunch:
This hand-tied bunch of tulips and mixed blooms is lush, full of vibrant colour, and sure to be a big hit for mum.
Mother’s Day Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas make an excellent Mother’s Day gift choice because they offer a big visual impact. Their large, full flower heads instantly make a bouquet look generous and luxurious, even when only a few stems are used. Hydrangeas are available in soft, calming colours, like pink, blue, and white, that suit a wide range of tastes and home styles. They also have a reputation for symbolising gratitude and appreciation, which is a perfect sentiment to express to mum. With proper care, hydrangeas can last really well in the vase.
Our pick of the bunch:
We love working with hydrangeas and include them in many of our season’s best flowers bouquets. If hydrangeas are your mum’s favourite flowers, then call us on 01506 811433 to order a bespoke hydrangea bouquet. We will also have some beautiful hydrangea plants in store or available for delivery.

Caring for Mother’s Day Flowers - Making Blooms Last Longer
The best flowers for Mother’s Day can last up to 10 days if given proper TLC. But how do you make cut flowers last longer?
Share these top tips from our trusted Scotland florists with mum, and her blooms will continue to look superb well into March.
- Trim the stems – as soon as she takes them out of the packaging, get mum to nip a little bit off the bottom of each stem
- Retrim the stems every few days
- Use a clean vase – bacteria shorten the flowers’ life
- Change water regularly
- Use the flower food we provide
- Keep flowers cool – avoid placing them near a heater, next to warm appliances, or in direct sunlight
- Avoid fruit bowls – placing flowers near fruit exposes them to ethylene gas, which can make them age faster
- Mist delicate flowers daily
