15 Songs About Flowers to Spruce Up Your Spring Playlist: Staff Picks


Flower Songs: Best music about roses, sunflowers, daisies, orchids and more aural floral offerings.

We hand out bouquets to congratulate friends on jobs well done, gift them on Valentines Days and anniversaries to say “I love you,” and — be it at weddings or funerals — surround ourselves with blossoming arrangements to commemorate both the best and worst moments of our lives. Dedicated to a love interest who just can’t be pinned down — or possibly to himself — Tom Petty encourages the subject of this signature tune to run off and be as free as the wildflowers that sprout in the woods, meadows and wetlands, uninhibited by polite society. One of the Dead’s most well-known songs, “Sugar Magnolia” finds the band transporting listeners to a “sunshine daydream” where sweet blossoms and roses bloom freely, a magical world curated by an ethereal love interest who only leaves everything delightful in her wake.
