Calla lilies represent new beginnings, making them perfect retirement flowers.
It’s common to express gratitude to someone who has given years of service. Yellow and orange calla lilies are ideal to say how thankful you are.
Remind the retiree how much they mean to you with a gift of chrysanthemums.
Not only are they an age-old symbol of enduring friendships, but mums also represent:
Chrysanthemums are available in many colors, but green and purple are particular favorites for retirement flowers.
Sunflowers are a popular flower among cultures worldwide.
They are said to symbolize:
And with their cheerful, yellow petals, sunflowers are sure to remind the retiree of their bright future.
Nothing beats the smell of fresh flowers.
Not only does their beauty create an air of celebration and elegance, but their fragrance invokes fond memories for years to come.
An exquisitely arranged gift of fresh flowers is the perfect way to honor any retiree by letting them know how much you care and have appreciated your time together.
How can you tell that your “fresh” flowers are fresh?

Nothing shows you care quite like a message from the heart.
Let the recipient of your retirement flowers know how much you’ve appreciated their work over the years and how excited you are for them to be able to relax and celebrate their retirement!
What you include in the message is up to you, but you may want to consider:
Whatever you decide, including a message along with your retirement flower arrangement is a great way to make the flowers even more meaningful.
And you may want to include another little add-on gift with the retirement flowers. Adding gourmet chocolate, a candle, or a small gift basket will make your gift all the more memorable.
Before sending flowers for retirement, be sure you know where — and when — to send them.
If you're sending retirement flowers to a coworker (and it's acceptable to have flowers delivered to the office) that may be your best approach.
However, if you're sending them to a house, be sure they arrive at a time when someone is home to receive them.
You also want to consider the person's preferences. Maybe they would rather have flowers delivered to their home versus their office. For example, if it's their last day of work, an arrangement of retirement flowers may feel like just one more thing to have to carry home.
And don't forget about flowers for a retirement party. Just be sure to make arrangements beforehand for delivery.
By thinking about the best time to send retirement flowers, you can ensure your flowers are both appreciated and appropriate.
Wondering if a retirement flower arrangement is the right gift?
Some people just aren’t flower people. Or they might appreciate a plant that can grow with them on their new retirement journey.
There are many plants easy-to-care-for that provide a pop of life and color in a home, such as:
