Cosmos

Meaning & Symbolism

Derived from the Greek word kosmos—meaning “order,” “harmony,” or “world”—cosmos flowers symbolize balance, peace, beauty, and modest joy. Their symmetrical petals evoke a sense of cosmic order and tranquil elegance. Traditionally, cosmos have stood for serenity, innocence, and inner resilience, and were embraced in Victorian floriography as symbols of harmony in love and life.

Perfect For

A thoughtful gift to celebrate life in balance—such as October birthdays (cosmos is a birth flower), second anniversaries, or a serene message to someone you admire. These blooms beautifully evoke peace, harmony, and quiet confidence in life’s flow.
