3 Reasons Why Dahlias Are Chosen for Mother's Day

In recent years, the flower gift market for Mother's Day has been changing. While carnations once dominated, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the spread of online shopping, broadening the variety of flowers chosen.

Among these, 'Dahlia potted plants' have become popular. There are three main reasons for this.

① Gorgeous Appearance

Dahlias have a luxurious bloom with multiple layers of petals, captivating the heart at first glance with their splendor. Simply placing them on a table can instantly brighten up the room's atmosphere.

② Flower Meanings Perfect for Mother's Day

The flower meanings of dahlias include 'gratitude,' 'elegance,' and 'dignity,' which are fitting for Mother's Day.

They are chosen not just for their beauty, but as 'flowers that convey feelings along with the gift.'

③ Offers a 'Special Feeling' and Avoids Monotony

Dahlias are still a fresh choice for Mother's Day gifts, conveying a sense of thoughtfulness and making the recipient feel 'You have great taste,' or 'This year is different!'

Recommended Ways to Choose a Dahlia

Choose by Size to Match the Placement

For indoor display, 5-6号 (approx. 15-18 cm pot diameter) sizes are recommended for ease of handling. If they are too large, management can become difficult, so choosing a 5号 size is considerate for mothers who are new to plant care.

Choose by Flower Meaning

Knowing the flower meanings enhances the message conveyed. Dahlias have different nuances in their meanings depending on the color, so choosing based on your mother's image or the message you want to send will be appreciated.

Dahlias in General: 'Gratitude,' 'Elegance,' 'Dignity'

Red/Pink Varieties: 'Glory,' 'Maiden's Heart'

Yellow/Orange Varieties: 'Grace,' 'Courage'

White/Light-Colored Varieties: 'Gratitude,' 'Abundant Love'

Check the Wrapping and Pot Design Too

For Mother's Day and gift occasions, visual appeal is an important factor.
Choosing one with a stylish pot cover or elegant wrapping significantly enhances the satisfaction upon opening. Especially since dahlias are flowers with a strong presence, check if the synergy with the packaging creates a 'special feeling.'
