November is a month of slowing down. It’s when routines soften, homes fill with candlelight, and gratitude takes center stage. It’s also one of our favorite times to send flowers — because seasonal flowers bring a touch of joy, warmth, and connection during the coziest part of the year.

Here’s what to send (and why) when you’re gifting flowers this November.

November Birthdays: Chrysanthemums in Full Glory

November’s official birth flowers is the chrysanthemum, and we’re here for it.

Available in rich fall tones like burnt orange, burgundy, gold, and soft blush, mums are bold, long-lasting, and packed with meaning.

Chrysanthemum symbolism:

  • Loyalty and love
  • Longevity and joy
  • A beautiful life roses, eucalyptus, and textural fillers like thistle or ruscus for birthday bouquets that feel abundant and intentional.
