417 flower shops across 222 cities and towns
Iowa's state flower is the wild prairie rose, adopted in 1897.
Iowa's florist trade is spread thin across a large number of small towns, many of which still support a single long-standing family shop. Those businesses often cover a wide rural delivery radius and handle everything from funeral work to homecoming corsages. The state has a strong small-grower scene supplying zinnias, sunflowers, dahlias and celosia from midsummer into October, and buying in that window gets you flowers cut days rather than weeks before they reach you.
