Every month comes with its own floral personality, and September’s birth flowers are among the most poetic and delicate of them all. If you’re celebrating a birthday this month — or sending a gift to someone who is — learning the meaning behind these blooms makes your bouquet even more personal.
Let’s explore the two official September birth flowers — aster and morning glory — and how to use them in floral arrangements for birthdays, celebrations, or meaningful gifts.

Aster: The Star of September
With its dainty, daisy-like petals and soft colors, the aster has been a symbol of love, wisdom, and faith since ancient times. Its name comes from the Greek word for “star,” and it’s often associated with elegance and emotional depth.
Aster Symbolism:
- Love and affection
- Wisdom and intelligence
- Patience and elegance
When to Gift Asters:
- September birthdays
- Thank-you arrangements
- Romantic gestures with subtle beauty
Asters come in shades of purple, lavender, pink, and white — perfect for soft, textural arrangements that feel seasonal but not overdone.

Morning Glory: Beauty That Blooms Quickly
Morning glories are known for their fast-growing vines and open-hearted blooms. They symbolize affection, renewal, and the fleeting nature of time — a reminder to cherish the present moment.
While less common in traditional bouquets, they’re a poetic flower often included in garden-style or wildflower-inspired arrangements.
Morning Glory Symbolism:
- Affection and spontaneity
- Fresh beginnings
- Emotional connection
When to Gift Morning Glory-Inspired Bouquets:
- First birthdays or milestone birthdays
- Meaningful gifts with a message of presence and renewal
- For someone who loves soft, rare, or cottage-style florals
