Birthday
HydrangeasAries is the first sign of the zodiac (roughly 21 March to 20 April), a fire sign ruled by Mars. In astrological tradition it is linked with energy, courage and the drive to be first, so flowers for Aries are usually bright, bold and in warm shades. Here are bouquets and houseplants to give an Aries — remembering that horoscopes are a charming tradition and the person's own taste matters most.

Which bouquet to give an Aries
Tradition suits Aries to rich "fiery" colours — red, burgundy, orange and hot pink — and striking, large flowers. Good choices:
- Red tulips — a spring symbol of energy and declared love, in season for Aries birthdays.
- Roses — deep red for passion, orange for admiration and zest.
- Gerberas — bright and cheerful, great for a colleague or friend.
- Anemones — dramatic flowers with dark centres; read more in our article on anemones.
- Hyacinths, freesias and sweet peas — fragrant spring flowers for a softer bouquet.
Don't give snowdrops or other wild spring flowers: many are protected. Choose garden varieties in pots instead.
Houseplants for Aries
Astrologers recommend plants with bright flowers or spines to match the Aries temperament. Aries are also busy and may forget to water, so easy-going plants work well:
- dwarf pomegranate — scarlet flowers and tiny fruit right on the windowsill;
- azalea — lavish winter blooms (likes cool conditions and acidic soil);
- rex begonia — vivid patterned leaves;
- pelargonium (indoor geranium) — red and pink flowers almost all year;
- guzmania — a bromeliad with a bright red or orange bract;
- kohleria — velvety leaves and speckled bell-shaped flowers;
- aloe, haworthia and cacti — tough and "prickly", just like Aries.
How to choose a gift
- Find out the person's favourite colours — they matter more than any horoscope.
- A stylish potted plant suits a businesslike Aries, a bouquet of red roses or tulips a romantic one.
- Add a card with warm words — Aries value sincerity and directness.
