Flower of the Year
The 2026 Flower of the Year is the delphinium, a tall, elegant flower. It adds stunning texture and height to floral arrangements, a unique element that no one will be able to take their eyes off of. You’ll spy delphinium in rich purples, soft blues, and creamy white hues, creating arrangements that are as versatile as they are beautiful.
1-800-Flowers.com chose the delphinium because it represents hope, elevation, and positivity towards the future. A delphinium arrangement makes for the perfect housewarming gift, graduation bouquet, or way to celebrate a new job. It’s also a beautiful way to shower your loved ones with well-wishes of hope and growth.
1-800-Flowers.com offers a variety of arrangements that showcase the delphinium. Use this flower to make a statement on your kitchen counter or dining room table; it even adds serenity to a spa bathroom. Blend its blue and purple hues with soft pink and yellow flowers for a warm, springtime arrangement, or keep things calm and wintery with gentle shades of light blue and white.
Plant of the Year
The delphinium isn’t the only botanical star of the coming year. 1-800 Flowers.com has also chosen a 2026 Plant of the Year, and it’s the best choice for ringing in the new year with good fortune and positive energy.
The money tree (Pachira aquatica or Pachira glabra) often features a braided trunk, with its large, shiny green foliage on top. Each leaf is made up of five leaflets, representing the five elements of balance. Caring for a money tree is surprisingly simple; give it regular watering every week or two after the soil has dried out, and give it plenty of indirect light. As the tree grows, you don’t even have to prune it if you don’t want to; just allow its leaves to form a small canopy over its trunk.
The money tree is available in three different sizes (small, medium, and large) on 1-800-Flowers.com. Send one as a gift to wish someone good luck and prosperity, or place a money tree in your own home to inspire balance and positivity.
Find the money tree and delphinium prominently featured across 1-800-Flowers.com’s arrangements and plant offerings this year. Start 2026 off right by grabbing a few for your own home.
