This article was prepared with the support of UFL flower delivery. Leo is the sign of people born between 23 July and 23 August, at the height of summer. Astrologers describe Leos as generous, charismatic and happiest in the spotlight. The flower horoscope is not science but a charming tradition in which each ten-day period of a sign has its own flower. Use it as a hint, but choose the bouquet above all by the person's taste. Find the lucky flower for every month in birth month flowers.

Leo the zodiac sign: dates and character

Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Leo from about 23 July to 22 August; the exact cut-off shifts by a day in different years, so people born on 22–23 July or 22–23 August should check their sign for their birth year. The symbol is ♌.

Leos are traditionally credited with generosity, charisma, a love of attention and leadership. They value visible gestures — beautiful presentation, a big celebration, a gift they can show off — so flowers for a Leo should be a statement arrangement, not a modest posy.

Leo women love luxury and bold colours: lush roses, large flower boxes and gold accents in the wrapping. Leo men appreciate something more restrained but still impressive: sunflowers with greenery, deep red roses or a hatbox arrangement.

The three periods of Leo and the flowers the horoscope assigns to them.

23 July – 2 August: dog rose

The dog rose is the wild ancestor of garden roses. Its thorns stand not for aggression but for protecting a delicate flower. The horoscope credits people born in this period with nobility, kindness and a gift for words. Cut dog roses do not last long in a vase, so bouquets use garden or peony-shaped roses instead, with sprigs of orange hips in autumn.

3–12 August: sunflower

The sunniest flower of all, with petals like a lion's mane. It symbolises success, optimism and finding your place in the sun. Sunflowers last 7–10 days in a vase if you recut the stems and change the water daily. A sunflower bouquet is a perfect summer gift for a Leo.

13–23 August: rose

The queen of flowers for the king of the zodiac. The horoscope gives people of this period determination and a talent for organising. For Leos choose rich shades: red, orange, coral and golden roses. Browse our roses with delivery.For the full table of dates, see zodiac signs by month.

Leo colours and flowers: what to choose

  • Sign colours: gold, yellow, orange and rich red — anything that recalls the sun and summer.
  • Sunflowers — the obvious “flower of the Sun”, perfect for Leo men and casual occasions.
  • Roses — yellow, orange or red; 51 or 101 roses for a milestone birthday.
  • Gerberas and lilies — big, bright, regal blooms.
  • Peonies — a luxurious choice in early summer while they are in season.

Leos are born at the height of summer, so seasonal August flowers also suit: gladioli, asters and early chrysanthemums.

How to put together a bouquet for a Leo

  • Scale. Leos appreciate impressive gifts: a lavish bouquet, a big basket or a flower box will please them more than a modest posy.
  • Colours. Gold, orange, red and sunny yellow. Good pairings: sunflowers with orange roses, red roses with golden foliage, gerberas with spray roses.
  • Season. For Leo birthdays in late July and August there are plenty of summer flowers: gladioli, dahlias, lilies, hydrangeas and asters.
  • Presentation. Beautiful wrapping, a card with a compliment and delivery right on time: Leos value attention to detail.

What else to give a Leo

A Leo’s bouquet pairs well with a gift that plays to their status and love of attention: jewellery with the sign’s symbol or in gold tones, a photo-shoot voucher, theatre or concert tickets, dinner at a restaurant with a view, or number balloons for a showy greeting. Presentation is everything: beautiful wrapping, a card with personal words and handing it over in front of others.

FAQ

What is Leo's main flower?

Sunflower and rose are named most often, and sometimes gladiolus and calendula.

Can I give a Leo yellow flowers?

Yes. In the flower horoscope yellow and gold are Leo's colours and a symbol of the sun, not of parting.

Which potted plant suits a Leo?

Striking plants with big leaves or bright flowers: hibiscus, anthurium or a citrus tree in a tub.

Is 23 August Leo or Virgo?

It depends on the year: the Sun usually enters Virgo on 22 or 23 August, so people born on the 23rd are Leos in some years and Virgos in others. Check the exact time for your birth year.

What bouquet colours suit a Leo woman?

Gold, yellow, orange and rich red: lush roses, gerberas, lilies and box arrangements with gold accents.
