Plants for the Holidays

November 25, 2019

Looking for a creative gift for a friend, hostess or co-worker?  Ornamental plants and trees can make the perfect gift!

Whether you dress up a boxwood with lights or top off an ivy topiary with a bright red bow, you can make a simple evergreen plant into a showstopper for Christmas.  Yuletide Camellias are perfect for containers, they are not large growers so a pot is a happy place for them.

Small red twig or yellow twig dogwoods are a perfect addition to someone’s winter garden as the color of their stems shine all winter long.  Plant one in a container with a bow and your yard lover will enjoy it all year.  The recipient can enjoy it in their yard or on a patio!

With beautiful, ornate stems, two trees that are also noted for their winter colors are the Coral Bark Japanese Maples and Scarlett Curls Willows.  The stems of these trees will stand out in the cold winter months and offer a much needed splash of color to and personality to your loved one’s yard.

So, step out of the box and and give a plant!  There are so many beautiful options out there, you will be able to find something live for everyone on your list to enjoy…

We would love to help you with your gift giving if you need us!  We offer gift certificates for consults, design and also installation.

Happy Holidays!
