The Four Best Flowers for Scorpio and What They Mean

As a Scorpio, you are a very intense and focused person who is often misunderstood. You need flowers that match your incredible personality. Here are four flowers that symbolise the best traits found in Scorpios.

Born between October 23rd and November 21st? Then you’re a Scorpio! Represented by the scorpion, Scorpio is ruled by both Mars and Pluto. Your element is water, and your mantra is “I transform.”

As a Scorpio, you’re an investigator. While you love dealing with people, you don’t go for idle small talk. You want to know what makes them tick, their secrets, the things that lie beneath the surface.

But that doesn’t mean you’re heartless. You may be obsessed with the dark and taboo, but you’re also sensitive, empathetic, and compassionate. Since you don’t fear the darkness, you are a great friend and companion to others exploring their own shadows. Just be careful not to overwhelm them with your intensity.

The best flowers for you, dear Scorpio, are ones that match your intense personality. Below are four flowers that symbolise the best Scorpio traits.

Geranium for Secrets

The many-petalled geranium has many angles while hiding the underside of their petals. It symbolises both expected and unexpected meetings. Likewise, just as people think they know who you are, you show another unexpected side of yourself. Unlike others, you’re not afraid to show the dark side of yourself, although you’re selective of which side of yourself you present in a situation.

Geraniums are as easy to grow in a container as in the ground, so long as they have drainage holes, lots of sun, and protection from the wind. If you grow them in a container, you can bring them inside to brighten up your home during the winter. There are over 300 species of geraniums, so there’s sure to be at least one species that catches your eye.

In flower arrangements, geraniums are versatile go-to cut flowers. All you really need to do is cut a few from your garden and place them in a jar for a beautiful arrangement.

Peony for Honour

In China and Japan, peonies are known as the king of flowers. They symbolise nobility, honour, and wealth. Just because you know someone’s secrets doesn’t mean you’re going to reveal them. With such single-minded concentration, Scorpios are likely to gather wealth and come into positions of power.

Peonies are a stunning perennial addition to add to your garden. They bloom throughout the late spring and early summer, although you can find early and late blooming varieties as well. They need a few years to grow before they bloom, but they thrive with benign neglect.

Since peonies are naturally stunning, you can create a beautiful arrangement with little fuss. Buy or cut peonies before the bud opens so that you can fully experience them opening up. You will also get to enjoy them for more than a few days. Use a small-lipped vase or tape a grid over the opening to keep peonies standing tall for the best arrangement.

Chrysanthemum for Friendship

People mistakenly take a Scorpios’ intensity, lack of social small talk, and take it or leave it attitude as a lack of compassion for others. Chrysanthemums are a symbol that they are dead wrong. They represent love, friendship, and fidelity. Once you make a friend, you make a friend for life. Your friends’ dark sides are more likely to attract you closer than scare you off, making you an invaluable friend.

Chrysanthemums bloom well into autumn, long past when other flowers have quit for the year, which may appeal to your competitive side. Depending on where you live, they may even last until your birthday. Select a hardy variety for an easy-to-grow addition to your flower garden.

When arranging chrysanthemums, remove the leaves from the stems and cut the stems to different heights for movement. Once you’ve got the chrysanthemums where you want them, add other flowers like roses and lilies.

Amaranth for Immortality

Amaranth represents immortality because even after it dies, it keeps its beauty and freshness. That’s not to say that you’re immortal, dear Scorpio, only that while others may fade in the same pursuits as you, you continue with single-minded determination.

Amaranth is given to others to represent unfading affection and eternal love for the recipient. Once you make a friend, you make a friend for life.

You can grow amaranth as both a beautiful focal point in your garden and for its edible seeds. Wait until the soil warms up to sow the seeds. When you see birds pecking at the seeds, it’s ready to harvest.

Amaranth’s ability to keep its beauty even after being dried makes it the perfect addition to autumn and winter holiday arrangements. Unlike other flowers that stand up straight, amaranth drapes over the side of the vase like a waterfall effect. Pair with other dried fronds for a unique centrepiece.
