Today's trope is the Innocent Flower Girl
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InnocentFlowerGirl

A sweet, shy, reserved, perhaps ill, girl whose profession is making artificial flowers or growing real ones. Liable to die a tear-jerking death.

Haru (Persona 5)

honestly the best I can think of, and even then it's less flowers and more general gardening, but whatever I'm counting it

Ophelia (Hamlet)
The Little Match Girl

Oddly sounds like an anime trope, but it's not often seen through it. It's more a classic literature thing. Sadly most of the time it's unnamed characters.

Nobody

This trope is so poorly defined that I'm not even sure there are any well-known characters who actually meet all the criteria. The TV Tropes page just seems like a list of girls who are affiliated with flowers regardless of whether they have the personality or background that supposedly goes with it. That's not really much of a trope at all.

Klara Prast (Runaways)
Camellia (Vampyr)
Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)

Subverting the trope is still using the trope anyway imo.
