September Flower of the Month: Aster

At DGM Flowers, we’re all about celebrating the beauty of every bloom—and each month brings a special flower into focus. For September, we honor the Aster, a vibrant floral favorite that symbolizes love, wisdom, and new beginnings.

Whether you're celebrating a September birthday, planning a fall wedding, or just brightening someone's day, the aster is a meaningful and seasonal choice. Let's take a closer look at what makes this flower such a local favorite in Fort Lauderdale and Lauderhill!

What Is an Aster?

The aster (named after the Greek word for “star”) is known for its lush, daisy-like petals and brilliant shades—ranging from purple and lavender to soft pinks and whites. It’s a classic late-summer bloom, and its star-shaped beauty is perfect for ushering in Florida's slightly cooler, breezy September days.

At DGM Flowers, we often pair asters with roses, dahlias, and snapdragons for rich, textured arrangements that bring seasonal elegance to any space.

Why Asters Are Perfect for September Gifting 🌼

September is a time of transitions—back to school, new routines, and for many in Fort Lauderdale and Lauderhill, a time to re-center after a bustling summer. The aster represents patience, elegance, and wisdom, making it the perfect floral gift for:

• September birthdays

• Grandparents Day (Sept. 7th this year!)

• Teacher appreciation gifts

• New beginnings or milestones

Looking to send something special? Our aster arrangements are available for same-day delivery throughout Fort Lauderdale and Lauderhill, so your thoughtful gift arrives just in time.

Aster Fun Fact: The Flower of the Gods?

In ancient times, asters were believed to have mystical properties. Some cultures even considered them sacred to gods, burning the petals to ward off evil spirits. While we can’t promise supernatural powers, we can guarantee that our handcrafted aster arrangements bring a little magic to every moment.

How to Style Asters in Your Home

Here in South Florida, where tropical vibes meet cozy interiors, asters fit right in. Try these styling tips:

• Table Centerpiece: Mix asters with eucalyptus or goldenrod for a soft fall palette.

• Small Spaces: A simple mason jar bouquet of purple asters can transform a desk or bathroom counter.
