April Birth Flower: Daisy and Sweet Pea
The April birth flowers are the daisy and the sweet pea — symbols of innocence, loyal love and blissful pleasure. Their meanings, colours and how to give them.
Everyone born in April has two birth flowers: the daisy and the sweet pea. Together they speak of innocence, loyal love and blissful pleasure — light, happy flowers for the heart of spring. Here is what each one means, the colours to choose, and how to give them.
The daisy — April's main birth flower
The daisy is the primary April birth flower, and perhaps the friendliest flower of all. Its simple, open face has long symbolised innocence, purity and loyal love — in old tradition, to give a daisy was to keep a secret safe. Daisies come in many forms, from the classic white-and-yellow to the bright, many-coloured gerbera daisy, which brings the same cheerful spirit in reds, pinks, oranges and yellows. That cheerfulness makes the daisy an easy, joyful birthday flower.
The sweet pea — April's secondary flower
The sweet pea is April's second birth flower, treasured for its ruffled, butterfly-like blooms and, above all, its wonderful fragrance. It means blissful pleasure and also carries a note of fond goodbye and gratitude — "thank you for a lovely time." Sweet peas come in soft, romantic pastels — blush pink, lilac, cream, lavender — and bring a delicate scent and vintage charm to a spring bouquet.
What April's birth flowers mean
April's pairing is pure spring happiness: the daisy's innocence and loyal love, the sweet pea's blissful pleasure and gratitude. Together they make a light, joyful, slightly nostalgic combination — ideal for a birthday that falls in the brightest stretch of spring. For the full tradition, see our flower meanings and symbolism guide.
How to give April birth flowers
For an April birthday, mix cheerful daisies (or colourful gerbera daisies) with scented sweet peas in soft pastels for a bouquet that is both happy and tender. Keep the palette light and spring-like — whites, soft pinks, lilacs and sunny yellows. The sweet pea's fragrance is a lovely surprise in a gift, so let it feature. A card noting that the daisy means innocence and loyal love adds a thoughtful, personal touch.
