Flower Horoscope: Which Flowers to Give a Leo

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.

Leo flowers by birth date

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

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.
