Getting Mom Flowers?

You may be paying more

We hate to break it to you, but flowers are getting more expensive. The United States imports more than 80% of its flowers and, while some tariffs are paused for now, others are driving floral prices up amid florists’ busiest season.

Some are reporting cost increases between 10% and 20% while others say their materials costs have doubled since tariffs kicked in.

Here at The Penny Hoarder, we hate paying more than we need to for anything, even if it is for mom. Our guide on getting flowers for less — for Mother’s Day and beyond — will help you save on a beautiful bouquet.

The Overseas Floral Business Is Blooming … For Now

Recent forecasts from the U.S.D.A. estimated that Americans would spend billions on imported cut flowers in 2025. But the new 10% tariff for all flower-importing countries will likely increase the cost for florists and consumers alike. Will these unexpected price hikes for flowers nip those estimated sales in the bud?
