There are a few different ways to say "get well soon!" with flowers, and choosing flower varieties for their symbolism is one way to display your thoughtfulness. Carnations represent good luck, asters represent cheerful wishes, sunflowers represent optimism and long life, daisies symbolize cheerfulness, yellow and orange roses represent positivity, and chrysanthemums symbolize fidelity and long life.

Chrysanthemums, lavender and daisies can all symbolize healing and well wishes for your recipient's good health.

While there are myriad beautiful flower varieties, some are better than others when it comes to sending to someone in recovery. Choosing flowers that are hypoallergenic is a thoughtful gesture that says you want to be considerate of not only your loved one, but their caretaker(s) as well. Be sure to opt for flowers delivered in a sturdy container, such as a durable plastic cube, wooden box, or a woven basket.

Four-leaf clovers symbolize good luck, of course, but there are other plants that are more appropriate to express your sentiments to "get well soon!" Anthurium plants symbolize luck, friendship, and lasting love. Snake plants, with their long and pointed leaves, signal the ability to cut through obstacles and negative energy and allow only good vibes through. Bamboo plants are also believed to have the ability to attract luck and positive energy. Any of these plants makes a great gift for saying "get well soon."

Bright, bold colors that evoke a sense of optimism and cheer are our favorite flowers to send that say "get well soon." Choose an arrangement with bright yellow, orange, or red as its focal point.

While flowers are a great get well gift on their own, it's always nice to add a little something extra for your loved one to enjoy while they recover. A plush animal, balloon, or gift basket of their favorite treats are all great options. No matter what you send, the best accompaniment will always be a thoughtful message expressing your love and support.
