Mother's Day flower and gift prices rise due to supply chain costs and tariffs
Flower prices are climbing ahead of Mother's Day 2024 due to higher fuel costs for air freight from Central and South America, increased tariffs on imported flowers, and elevated demand. Indoor plant and flower prices rose 7.5% year-over-year in March, outpacing overall inflation. Despite price increases, consumer spending on Mother's Day is expected to reach a record $38 billion, though shoppers are becoming more selective with purchases.
