When a loved one gets sick, you want to let them know you’re thinking about them. While phone calls and text messages can convey your wishes of love and good health, get well flowers offer a tangible, colorful way to show you care. Here, learn about a few blooms that offer that “feel better!” message.

5 Get Well Flowers to Send a Sick Friend

1. Pansies

Available in a stunning array of bright hues, including purple, yellow, pink, and multi-colored, pansies represent thoughts of love and compassion. Send a bouquet to literally brighten the day of an ill friend or family member, and feel free to make the arrangement as colorful as you want. If your loved one has a favorite hue, make it the overarching theme of the pansy bouquet.

2. Daisies

Daisies are synonymous with cheerful feelings. These flowers come in “classic” versions with white petals and yellow centers, as well as colorful options known as gerbera daisies. If you stick with the classic flowers, consider interspersing them with carnations or other blooms to add color and vibrancy.

3. Sunflowers

Sunflowers are some of nature’s brightest and biggest blooms. They make outstanding get well flowers because they simply look happy. Sunflowers also represent hope, good fortune, strength, and longevity, all of which a friend or family member needs when they’re feeling unwell.

4. Lilies

As fragrant as they are beautiful, lilies have different meanings based on their type. Alstroemeria, or Peruvian lilies, come in a variety of colors and symbolize devotion and friendship, making them ideal get well flowers. Gold and yellow lilies also work well since they represent healing and radiant health. Pink-striped Stargazer lilies provide yet another option, as they symbolize encouragement in the face of challenges.

5. Roses

Red roses remain a universal symbol of love and devotion, while yellow roses represent caring and friendship. White roses can equal respect, though they also symbolize purity and innocence. Send one color or a variety of different rose hues to a loved one to show you’re thinking about them and hoping for a quick recovery.
