From iris to forget-me-nots, blue flowers are some of the most enchanting and beautiful blooms on the planet. Our ultimate guide to Blue Flowers aims to tell you everything you need to know about them! In this guide you'll find everything from their names, pictures and meanings to a detailed list of some of the most popular types, including blue wildflowers, trees and bushes.

Blue flower meanings

Blue flowers are often associated with serenity & calm, making them the perfect flowers to send to someone feeling under the weather as a "get well" gift.

Blue flowers are also a popular choice for bridal bouquets at weddings. This is because it is traditional for a bride to incorporate 'something blue' in her outfit. Many florist's dye white flowers blue to achieve this effect, but for brides wanting a more natural option hydrangea is a classic choice.
