Beyond Bouquets: Valentine’s Day plants that make a lasting impression. Cut flowers may be the classic Valentine’s Day gesture, but a living plant tells a different story — one that keeps growing long after the holiday is over.
Whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or simply want to brighten someone’s day, a Valentine’s Day plant offers beauty, longevity, and a touch of personality that a bouquet can’t match.
Gifting a unique houseplant for Valentine’s Day is a thoughtful and lasting way to celebrate those we love, and because there are lots of beautiful, vibrant houseplants to choose from, you’re sure to find a match for your Valentine’s green thumb. Here are just a few of our favorites:
Anthurium – known for their striking red flowers
Azaleas – valued for long lasting blooms
Bromeliad – striking flowers and silver leaves
Calla lilies - elegant trumpet shaped flowers
Campanula – graceful blooms and lasting beauty
Carnations – long lasting special colors
Cineraria – clusters of flowers
Cyclamen – heart shaped leaves and colorful blooms
Jasmine – a lightly scented fragrance
Kalanchoe – vibrant blooms
Streptocarpus – trumpet-shaped flowers, velvety leaves
Tropical Hibiscus – Stunning flowers
Hot Cakes Mix Stock – unique blooms
As a rule, these houseplants will do well when placed where they will receive bright, indirect light, watered with room temperature water when the top one inch of soil feels dry and fertilized every two weeks with a 10-15-10 fertilizer.
Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to delight that special someone in your life. A live houseplant is a very personalized gift and will remind them of you long after Valentine's Day is over.
