Looking for something a bit different from the usual bunch of flowers or box of chocolates? From statement houseplants to quality gardening tools and beautiful homeware, here’s our alternative gift guide for that special person in your life….
Romantic plants
Living plants make beautiful Valentine's gifts, offering something that flourishes throughout the season and brings year-round enjoyment. Here’s some of our favourite seasonal plants that are absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day…
Cyclamen
Cyclamen are practically made for Valentine’s Day! From their delicate, heart-shaped flowers to their pretty pink petals, they’ll brighten up any garden from winter through to spring.
Roses
Roses remain a timeless expression of love and can be planted now in sunny spots during winter or early spring. Make sure to give them a high-potash fertiliser during spring to ensure the best summer blooms.
Tulips
Tulips represent perfect love, with colours conveying specific sentiments: yellow for hopeless love, red for passionate declarations, pink for caring, and white for forgiveness.
Anthuriums
Anthuriums are a gorgeous choice for indoors thanks to their passionate, deep red, heart-shaped flowers for the ultimate romantic gesture.
Orchids
For something equally showy, the elegant Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis) delivers a sophisticated alternative to traditional bouquets that will last well beyond Valentine's Day.
