Having fresh flowers in your home always brightens up the place, but an arrangement of all blue flowers is truly stunning. Rarer than other colored-flowers, blue blossoms really stand out whether in a field of multi-colored flowers or in an arrangement. Here at Julia’s Florist, Wilmington’s best flower shop, we love working with blue blooms. Below are some of our favorites.

Beautiful Blue Flowers

Blue Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are bountiful, lush, breathtaking flowers and come in subtle shades of blue such as light, powder blue, and sky blue. The shade of blue achieved is determined by the alkalinity of the soil. Blue hydrangea conveys a deep understanding and strong feeling of love and adoration when given as a gift. Hydrangea also symbolizes grace, beauty, and prosperity.

Blue Delphinium

A true blue flower with a gorgeous bright hue, delphiniums have delicate petals in a radiant blue with a slight gradation. They are simple yet elegant blooms that stand for fun, new opportunities, and encouragement for chasing your dreams.

Grape Hyacinth

This beautiful bulb-shaped flower grows in clusters resembling a bunch of grapes. They come in a range of colors from blue, purple, white, and yellow. The grape hyacinth represents trust and sincerity in many cultures and also symbolizes joy and rebirth.

Bluestar

Named for their star-shaped blooms, bluestars are charming blue flowers that make any garden or floral arrangement pop. This pretty little flower represents steadfastness and affection.

Bellflower

With blooms in the shape of a bell, the lovely Bellflower also comes in several different colors such as light purple, pink, white, and blue. These long-stemmed beauties make great cut flowers and their brilliant blue compliments any arrangement. Bellflowers are associated with the realm of fairies and symbolize humility, reverence, and gratitude.

Blue Aster

In ancient times, asters were considered magical flowers that could drive away evil spirits as well as have healing properties. These daisy-shaped blooms symbolize love, patience, and elegance.

Morning Glory

An ornamental floral frequently used in weddings, the morning glory is a saucer-shaped flower that blooms in the morning and dies in the evening. The flower symbolizes love and its duality, meaning it represents eternal love and affection as well as unrequited love and longing. Either way, it’s still a striking blue flower.

Iris

The gorgeous and alluring iris flower comes in a variety of colors which explains its name: in Greek, “iris” translates into “rainbow.” A regal bloom, iris flowers symbolize faith, wisdom, hope, and valor. A beautiful accent bloom, irises also make quite a statement when grouped together by themselves.

Forget-Me-Nots

This adorable blue flower may be tiny but its bright blue color makes it worth remembering. A 15th-century legend states that wearers of this flower would not be forgotten by their loved ones. A symbol of faithful love and loving memories, forget-me-not are often used in romantic celebrations.

Cornflower

A stunningly beautiful blue flower, the cornflower is also known as the bachelor button flower. Single men used to wear the cornflower on their lapel while courting someone. If the flower died quickly, it would indicate the love is not reciprocated. These bright blue blooms symbolize hope in love, celibacy, and blessedness.

Blue Orchid

Orchids are exotic, beautiful flowers cherished by many people, but blue orchids are exquisite, rare, and remarkable as well as highly coveted. The Aztecs and Greeks regarded blue orchids as symbols of strength and virility. These gorgeous blooms also represent perfection, opulence, beauty, and luxury.

Blue Anemone

The beautiful blue anemone can brighten any home with its charming simplicity and lovely fragrance. Believed to bring luck and protection against evil, blue anemones are also known for being magical and bringing peace of mind.
