Lilies make an impressive gift, but they are not right for every recipient. Before you send them to someone in Vietnam, it helps to weigh what they do well against the few situations where another flower is the better call.
The Short Answer
Yes, lilies are a very good gift for most people: they last 7 to 10 days, look dramatic, and carry meaning. The exceptions are recipients with cats, strong fragrance sensitivity, or a need for something low-maintenance.

Lilies
Why Lilies Work as Gifts
- Value for the price: large blooms on tall stems look generous with a modest stem count.
- Vase life: 7 to 10 days, with buds opening in sequence.
- Meaning: purity, devotion and renewal, which fits many occasions. See What Do Lily Flowers Mean.
- Range: white, pink, yellow and mixed colours, plus pollen-free Roselily.
When Lilies Are Not the Best Choice
Cats at Home
Many true lilies are highly toxic to cats, even in small amounts. If the recipient owns a cat, choose roses, orchids or sunflowers instead.
Strong Fragrance Sensitivity
Oriental types can fill a room. For sensitive recipients, pick a lighter-scented option or a pollen-free white Roselily bouquet.
Pollen and Staining
Standard lilies release orange pollen that stains fabric. A recipient who will not remove the anthers may prefer Roselily.
