Every month comes with its own floral personality, and September’s birth flowers are among the most poetic and delicate of them all. If you’re celebrating a birthday this month — or sending a gift to someone who is — learning the meaning behind these blooms makes your bouquet even more personal.

Let’s explore the two official September birth flowersaster and morning glory — and how to use them in floral arrangements for birthdays, celebrations, or meaningful gifts.

Aster: The Star of September

With its dainty, daisy-like petals and soft colors, the aster has been a symbol of love, wisdom, and faith since ancient times. Its name comes from the Greek word for “star,” and it’s often associated with elegance and emotional depth.

Aster Symbolism:

  • Love and affection
  • Wisdom and intelligence
  • Patience and elegance

When to Gift Asters:

  • September birthdays
  • Thank-you arrangements
  • Romantic gestures with subtle beauty

Asters come in shades of purple, lavender, pink, and white — perfect for soft, textural arrangements that feel seasonal but not overdone.

Morning Glory: Beauty That Blooms Quickly

Morning glories are known for their fast-growing vines and open-hearted blooms. They symbolize affection, renewal, and the fleeting nature of time — a reminder to cherish the present moment.

While less common in traditional bouquets, they’re a poetic flower often included in garden-style or wildflower-inspired arrangements.

Morning Glory Symbolism:

  • Affection and spontaneity
  • Fresh beginnings
  • Emotional connection

When to Gift Morning Glory-Inspired Bouquets:

  • First birthdays or milestone birthdays
  • Meaningful gifts with a message of presence and renewal
  • For someone who loves soft, rare, or cottage-style florals
