April is the month of true spring: orchards, cherry trees and tulips bloom, and the days grow warm and long. April's birth flowers, the daisy and the sweet pea, are simple, bright and heartfelt. Here's what they mean, what blooms in April and which bouquet to give someone born in April. Next month: May flowers.
The daisy is April's flower and a symbol of innocence, purity and true love. Its petals have long been used for 'loves me, loves me not', and the flower itself evokes simple joys. Types of daisies and how to tell chamomile from garden daisies are covered in chamomile facts.
The second flower is the sweet pea, a delicate climbing plant with fragrant blooms. It means gratitude and fond memories; in the old language of flowers, 'thank you for a lovely time'. The flowers for every month are in birth month flowers.
What blooms in April
April is peak spring bloom: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and grape hyacinths open, and apricots, cherries, sakura and magnolias flower in gardens. Where and when to see cherry blossoms is covered in sakura season. At the florist's, April means tulips, ranunculus, hyacinths and daisy chrysanthemums.
A bouquet for April birthdays
April birthdays suit light spring bouquets: daisies with tulips, daisy chrysanthemums in a box, or a pastel wildflower mix. Daisy bouquets last long with proper care; see daisies in a vase. Easter often falls in April, so a bouquet can be paired with festive decor.

April is shared by Aries (until April 20) and Taurus (from April 21). Energetic Aries get bright tulips and red roses, while beauty-loving Taurus enjoys lush garden roses, hydrangeas or fragrant arrangements.
