Christmas plants make thoughtful gifts

If you want to spoil somebody special this festive season, you should take a look around at all the beautiful Christmas plants that are available. Many of them will not only spruce up the recipient’s home over the holidays, but also long thereafter. Here are some lovely plant gift ideas to consider.

Poinsettia plants

One of the most popular Christmas plants of all is the poinsettia. They are associated with the festive season and, while they are available in different colours, red is the most popular. These plants will last throughout the holiday season but they will usually perish upon the arrival of spring.

Roses

Another lovely idea if you are looking for the perfect Christmas plant, is the rose. Potted roses are easy to care for and they will bloom year after year. If the plant is trimmed regularly, it will not outgrow its pot too soon and this is certainly a gift that will keep on giving.

Holiday wreaths

As you browse for Christmas plants, you will find that your florist also has many other fabulous festive gifts to offer. Holiday wreaths professionally designed by expert florists will look amazing for the duration of the holidays. Of course, if they are made from fresh flowers and foliage, they will eventually perish. That said, you can hold on to the wreath base and, if you are so inclined, you can try making your very own wreath designs in the future.

Christmas trees

If the intended recipient has a rather small home, they might not have space for a large Christmas tree. Fortunately, these trees as not always large and they are known for growing quite slowly. So, you could send them a potted Christmas tree as a gift that they can enjoy for several years. When the tree gets too big, it can either be planted in their garden or they can choose to give it to somebody who has more space to offer.

These are some of the best Christmas plants that you can send a friend or loved one. They are thoughtful, beautiful and perfect for this time of year. Your florist will also offer optional extras if you so choose. You can choose to add luxury chocolates, a bottle of wine or another gift to your plant order.
