Which flower is the national flower of the Netherlands?

The story behind the answer

Which flower is the national flower of the Netherlands? The common daisy.

The Netherlands is strongly associated with tulips because of its famous bulb-growing industry, flower fields, and international gardens. However, cultural association with tulips is different from official national-flower status.

In 2023, the common daisy, Bellis perennis, was selected as the Netherlands’ national flower through a public vote. The choice reflects a flower widely found throughout the country and familiar to the public.

Tulip remains an iconic Dutch symbol, but it is not the country’s officially selected national flower under the current designation. The answer “daisy” is therefore more accurate than “tulip.”
