December Birth Flowers: Holly and Narcissus (Paperwhite)

December's flowers differ greatly—one a bulb, the other an evergreen—yet both symbolize hope.

What Is the Flower for the Month of December?

The December birth flowers are holly and narcissus (specifically, the paperwhite).

December Birth Month Flower: The Holly

Holly symbolizes your wish for domestic happiness.

Although some animals and birds enjoy holly berries, they're semi-toxic to humans.

Good news: deer tend to avoid eating holly.

December Birth Month Flower: The Narcissus (Paperwhite)

Narcissus conveys that you want your beloved to stay just as they are.

While many narcissus types exist, the paperwhite is the winter-growing variety and December's birth flower.
