Flowers in Pakistan occupy a cultural position shaped by climate, regional agriculture, and traditional celebrations. In cities such as Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi, flowers are central to wedding decorations, festivals, and ornamental gardens, with marigolds, roses, and jasmine highly prized. In rural areas, flowers are cultivated in family farms and local markets, supporting both ceremonial use and commercial trade. Participation in cultivation and use is influenced by access to horticultural training, nurseries, and regional farming knowledge, shaping what is grown and how flowers are presented. Compared to other crops, flowers function as both an economic product and a cultural symbol, reinforced by media, tourism, and seasonal festivals. Seasonal variation, regional diversity, and social customs also shape flower use across generations. As a result, flowers in Pakistan reflect broader patterns of cultural identity, economy, and horticultural tradition.
