Plants as Gifts

Gift Vouchers £5 Gift Voucher

Plants might seem to be the obvious gift for a gardener, but gardeners do tend to be a capricious lot when it comes to which varieties are allowed to grace their soil. I therefore tend to steer clear of garden plants unless you are very certain exactly what plant is wanted and the right size and variety.

Try doing some surreptitious scouting, asking questions when you see the person you're going to buy a gift for - flattering them into giving you some "expert advice" can be a fruitful approach as can asking their partner.

A beautiful and / or fragrant houseplant on the other hand always goes down well. Something that is alive, vibrant and growing strongly also makes a nice addition to all the cut foliage that is around. At the simplest a bowl of bulbs, Hyacinth or Narcissi, or more exotically, an indoor Stephanotis, Jasmine or Scented Orchid is bound to please.

Containerised plants also give an extra flexibility that those intended for planting straight into the soil don't have. A specimen plant in a well matched container could be the perfect solution. If your recipient doesn't like it the way it is, they can separate the two and have two presents that any gardener would be very pleased to use in their garden.

Lily of the Valley Pot £19.95
Nostalgic Lily of the Valley emanates a timeless, natural beauty. In the Victorian language of flowers it symbolised the return of happiness, and who wouldn't be overjoyed to receive this delightful gift? The miniature woodland bells pervade the air with their soft, cool fragrance and can be planted in the garden after flowering. Flowers approx 2-3 weeks after receipt.

Hyacinth : Multi Flowering Basket £17.99
Imagine the excitement as your loved ones watch their gift spring to life. Shoots emerge from their mossy bed to greet the Christmas festivities with a flurry of celestial blooms. These multi flowering hyacinths are a welcome break from the traditional reds and greens of the season, assailing both the sense of sight and smell with their profusion of captivating blue bells that pervade the air with their heart-lifting perfume.(My Great Aunt Dora loved this)

Narcissus Tete a Tete £15.99  £10.99
Bring a dose of springtime magic into the home with a basket of sunny, miniature daffodils. These sprightly flowers radiate a warm glow as they sit prim and pretty atop slender stems in a gold basket, and release a sweet perfume that floats in the warm air.

Stephanotis & Pot £19.95
Get scent-imental with exotic Stephanotis. It's glossy foliage winds around a tubular frame to create a tower of glistening colour and fragrance.
