Easter Lillies


It's so exciting! I know spring is near because it's time to talk about Easter lillies (or lilium longiflorum in Latin ). An Easter lily is the traditional flower for Easter and presents a lovely picture.
With a large, trumpet-shaped white flower, the Easter lily symbolizes purity, hope and life, it is both a beautiful plant (and very symbolically correct) for celebrating Easter as well as the spring season in general. You may not have guessed this, but the Easter lily is one of America’s most popular blooming plants – it is, in fact, the 4th largest potted plant crop in the US! Sending an Easter lilly plant as a gift is a great way to share the joy of Easter with friends and family who celebrate the holiday, but also makes a great gift for those who simply want to enjoy the beauty of a great spring flower. This is one of the most fragrant blooming plants you can buy. It really makes you realize spring is here.
The Easter lily is only available for sale for a short time across most of the US – normally just a few weeks, meaning there's only a short time to find and send one. We can send an Easter lilly in different containers, or in a double basket. They look really nice in all white with ribbon. If you look under the Easter tab on our web site, you can see an Easter lilly.
