The Most Beautiful Blue Flowers
Blue Hydrangea
Elegant, sophisticated, and lush, Blue Hydrangeas are breathtaking. They grow in shades from light to dark depending on the alkalinity of the soil. Blue hydrangeas symbolize a deep understanding and strong feelings of love.
Blue Delphinium
A fabulous floral with a bunch of gorgeous blue blooms grouped together, blue delphiniums are another lush and bountiful flower. Representing new opportunities and encouragement in chasing your dreams, this is a flower that gets noticed.
Grape Hyacinth
Resembling a bunch of grapes, the orb-shaped blooms of the Grape Hyacinth grow in a large cluster at the end of their stems. With a beautiful light blue that gradually becomes a darker shade toward the bottom, these florals are real showstoppers. The grape hyacinth symbolizes jot, prosperity, and rebirth.
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.
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.
