Good thing we are here to help! We have selected the best of blooms, the most fantastic foliage, as well as great gifts and more for your favorite garden-loving person this Valentine’s Day.
BIG BLOOMS -
Hydrangeas - Although the season is not quite ready for these cloud-like blooms outdoors, we carry these shrubs in houseplants this time of year! Give your valentine a bloom that lasts with a hydrangea. Once it is warm enough, you can plant this gorgeous gift in the garden to enjoy for years to come.
Cyclamen - These colorful cool-weather bloomers boast butterfly-like flowers with dark green, heart-shaped foliage. Bloom colors range from white to light pink, lavender, hot pink, and purple. Cyclamen are sure to make your valentine’s jaw drop in surprise.
Hellebores - This perennial is a perfect winter wonder. Also known as the “Lenten Rose”, hellebores can dazzle your valentine with their colorful, star-like flowers. Place in a pot or even plant in the yard for a blooming valentine's every year.
Daphne - Forget buying that bouquet of roses or that bottle of Chanel No.5. Nothing smells better than blooming winter daphne. Revered for the angelically intoxicating fragrance of a citrusy-honeyed, almost baby powderesque perfume, this shrub is usually the first thing that comes to mind when we think of “fragrant blooms”.
ORCHIDS -
As one of our favorite blooming tropicals, orchids are an amazing gift for any plant-loving valentine. These elegant flowers will brighten tables and windowsills in your home for months at a time. Colors range from whites, pinks, lavenders and yellows in both solid colors or stripes and spots.
