Living Christmas Gifts
There's something special about giving a gift that grows. Living Christmas gifts bring beauty & lasting joy to the holiday season long after the wrapping paper is gone! From blooming favorites to festive greenery, these living decorations are a meaningful way to share the spirit of the season.
Poinsettias
The classic symbol of the holiday season! Poinsettias bring bold color and instant cheer with shades of red, pink, white and more. Place them in a bright, warm room and water when the soil feels dry. With proper care, they’ll stay vibrant all season long and beyond the holidays.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen make stunning centerpieces and thoughtful winter gifts. Blooming from mid-November through spring, their unique, upswept flowers hover above heart-shaped, silvery-green foliage. Available in shades of white, red, pink and lavender, they add soft color and elegance throughout the winter months.
Norfolk Island Pine
Looking for a living Christmas tree alternative? The Norfolk Island Pine is a slow-growing, indoor-friendly conifer with soft needles and graceful branches. It works beautifully as a tabletop tree, statement plant for large rooms, or even as a terrarium-sized seedling. Decorate it for the holidays and enjoy it year-round!
Phalaenopsis Orchid
Phalaenopsis orchids produce long-lasting sprays of moth-like blooms in a wide range of colors. These elegant plants are easy to care for and provide weeks of beauty, making them a favorite for both homes and offices. Their main blooming season runs from late winter into spring.
Amaryllis
For truly spectacular blooms, nothing beats an amaryllis. These easy-to-grow bulbs produce massive flowers, often 6 to 8 inches across, in striking shades of red, white, pink, salmon, orange and multicolor patterns. They typically bloom in late December and can last 6-8 weeks, making them a holiday showstopper.
Paperwhites
Paperwhites are one of the easiest and most fragrant ways to bring flowers indoors during winter. Unlike other narcissus, they don’t need chilling. Simply place the bulbs in water and wait! In about three weeks, you’ll enjoy clusters of delicate, sweet-smelling blooms.
Christmas Cactus
A beloved holiday bloomer, the Christmas cactus thrives in moderate light and moist, well-drained soil. Its cascading flowers appear right around the holidays in shades of red, white, pink, orange and more. With the right care, it can rebloom year after year, becoming a long-term favorite.
Whether you’re decorating your home, gifting something special, or adding a touch of seasonal beauty, these holiday plants bring color, life, and joy all winter long.
