KEY TAKEAWAYS
Various herbs, including Alstroemeria, Adam’s Needle, Ivy, and Zinnias, hold symbolic meanings of friendship.
Iris, Rose petals, Tulips, and Tropical herbs are also associated with friendship, each carrying its unique significance.
Herbs like Pink geranium petals, Sunflower petals, and Calla flowers can be used to enhance friendship rituals or charm bags.
Friendship altars, charm bags, and tea can benefit from the inclusion of these herbs, creating meaningful and thoughtful gestures of camaraderie and affection.
What can we consider an herb?
In witchcraft, we define herbs much more loosely than in gardening or cooking! Witches consider some petals and leaves of certain plants to be herbs too! Keep this in mind while learning all about them!
What herbs symbolize friendship, and what do they mean
Alstroemeria
It is also known as the Lily of the Incas or the Peruvian Lily and it looks like a miniature lily. It represents friendship and passion. And its peculiar way in which its leaves grow crookedly makes one believe that it represents the twists and turns that arise in friendships.
Adam’s Needle
Its leaves are evergreen, narrow, and rigid. It is a yucca that can grow on almost any surface, be it dry, rocky, or sandy soil. This herb symbolizes true friendship and your ability to overcome obstacles that come your way.
Did You Know?
I was honored when I was recently asked by Court TV producers to consult on a case.
You can view the clip below. This case is a great example of why I do not cast any spells that have harmful intentions. As a Professional Spellcaster, I work with clients from all over the world and it’s important to me to remain grounded and stay ‘in the light’ so that I can help as many people as possible.
Casting your own magic spells takes skill and patience and isn’t recommended in most cases. I provide these “do it yourself” articles for educational purposes, but it is strongly recommended that you consult an experienced spell caster such as myself and allow me to do the work for you.
This way you know it’s being done by someone experienced and knowledgeable and I’m also always here to answer questions about your casting and provide follow-up at no additional charge.

One of my client’s testimonials:

Ivy
This plant represents the relationship that is cultivated and grows between two best friends.
Zinnias
When this herb is yellow, someone is thinking about you daily. When it is white, it represents the memory of an absent friend, and if it is a scarlet color then it refers to the companionship between friends.
Iris
It is a spring herb, which enhances its symbolization of renewal and transformation, characteristics that apply to friendship. It also represents friendship, trust, and faith.
Rose petals
These are suitable for almost any situation, including when you want to celebrate friendship. For this, yellow and orange rose petals are perfect. These colors represent the happiness that both friends have for being able to share time together.

Tulips
When it comes to blue tulips, these represent true and pure loyalty. Tulips in general represent joy. Whatever color of tulips you use, you can mix in white tulips, since they speak of honesty. These herbs are easy to get your hands on.
Tropical herbs
Tropical herbs have a longer life but are not easy to find, which will add a special touch to that friendship.
Pink geranium petals and leaves
A pink geranium symbolizes new affection: a fresh friendship ready to blossom, just like your gift herbs. The geranium with ivy leaves symbolizes true friendship, while a climbing geranium represents, in the language of herbs, solidity, and stability.
Tulips petals
Pink tulips are a symbol of attention, affection, and good omen; therefore, they are perfect to give to a friend or family member. If, on the other hand, you need forgiveness from a friend, the white tulip is a perfect way to apologize. Whatever the color of your tulip, it is the perfect herb for smiling on a happy occasion.
Sunflower petals
Sunflower, precisely by virtue of always turning towards the sun, symbolizes happiness, sunshine, and liveliness. Therefore, giving this is equivalent to emphasizing the joyful and cheerful character of whoever you are gifting it to. The sunflower, in other traditions and popular cults, also expresses gratitude as well as respect and admiration for the person who receives it.
