"With nearly 50 years of experience in the floral and plant industry, we are uniquely qualified to name a flower and plant of the year as we are always on the pulse of what's trending. The ranunculus, with its vibrant petals, reflects enthusiasm, love, admiration, and happiness, while the snake plant represents longevity, health, and growth. Beyond their striking beauty, these choices offer a meaningful gift that nurtures relationships and promotes well-being—exactly what we're all wishing for in the year ahead."
2025 Flower of the Year: Distinctive Blooms
The colorful ranunculus, which can be translated to "little frog," gets its name from the marshy areas it thrives best in (just like frogs!). These paper-thin, delicate flowers are grown on our premiere farms in the Andes Mountains, where optimal growing conditions provide the best quality blooms. Gift-givers and décor enthusiasts can find them at 1-800-Flowers.com as a single variety arrangement like the Radiant Ranunculus Bouquet or in beautiful, mixed bouquets. This vibrant flower seamlessly adds natural beauty to any space.
2025 Plant of the Year: Lets Get Growing
The resilient snake plant, also known as the Sansevieria, is a low-maintenance structural beauty – perfect for gifting plant parents who are just starting their green family or for those with limited time to care for their plants. Its variegated leaves give it a reptilian appearance, adding high visual impact to any room. Reflecting both longevity and good fortune, the snake plant is often given as a housewarming gift. This year, we're especially excited to lean into its symbolism, as 2025 not only marks the year of the snake plant, but it's also the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac—a sign that makes this plant even more meaningful.
