KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME
Wild child, this one’s for you! A mix of roses, anemones, ranunculus and lisianthus—all in pops of red—will add a touch of passion to your Valentine’s Day. The Cosmo bouquet is a fun twist on a classic dozen red roses. While a few fragile buds broke off the bouquet in transit, it was still lush, especially after the arrangement had a few days to open.

White roses symbolize new love. So if this is the first Valentine’s Day you’re spending together, splurge on an all-white arrangement like this Glowing bouquet from Bouqs. In addition to roses, your sweetheart will enjoy a mix of white snapdragons, lilies, mini hydrangeas and greenery. I tested this bouquet as part of a flower subscription and was awed by its freshness. It lasted for well over a week with proper care.
FAQ
What flowers are popular for Valentine’s Day?
Roses, particularly red roses, are the quintessential Valentine’s Day flower. But many arrangements also feature lilies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, peonies or other blooms. Color is important, too, with most classic Valentine’s Day flowers consisting of hues of pink, red, white and purple. That said—buy what will put a smile on your sweetheart’s face! Everything from a plant club to a giant bouquet of sunflowers is appropriate if it’s tailored to your valentine’s specific interests.
When should I buy flowers for Valentine’s Day?
If you’re eyeing a Valentine’s Day flower delivery, order early! Local florists and online bouquet merchants accept scheduled Valentine’s Day deliveries weeks in advance. If you’re looking to buy a bouquet in person, head to the store a day or two in advance. Not only is selection better, but the blooms will have a chance to fully open for the maximum “wow” factor.
