Missouri State Flower
Hawthorn
Crataegus

The White Hawthorn Blossom was named the state flower of Missouri on March 16, 1923. These flowers are white and grow in bunches on hawthorn trees. The White Hawthorn Blossom is most common in southern Missouri.

The State Grape
The Norton/Cynthiana grape was chosen as the state grape on July 11, 2003. They have been around since the 1830s and is likely North America’s oldest grape still being grown! They are very popular with Missouri vintners for their hardy growth habit and intense flavor which makes lush, dry premium red wines of world-class quality and distinction.
