Plants for birthday presents
Shop of selection of the best plants for birthday presents, specially selected to make that perfect gift to wish your friends, family or loved ones many happy returns. There is plenty of choice across a wide range of price points, depending on what you’re looking for. A selection of herbs, heathers or perennials, perhaps in a range of different flower and foliage colours, make a wonderful gift within a modest budget. The lucky recipient may have favourite flowers such as the daisy-like blooms of aster plants or beautiful lily flowers (hemerocallis) that you can choose. For something a little more substantial, rhododendrons and azaleas are acid-loving plants with stunning flowers, perfect for the border or growing in a container in ericaceous compost. Topiary works well for recipients who have a slightly more formal style garden, perhaps a cone or spiral for either side of a doorway or entrance. Japanese maples are stunning small trees with a dome-shaped habit, slow growing with beautiful palm-shaped foliage in a range of different colours.
For someone with a small garden or balcony, climbing plants are perfect for providing masses of flowers and foliage from a modest lateral footprint. Choisya are attractive foliage plants whilst cordylines or phormiums work well as architectural grasses and lavender is a fragrant classic if you’re looking for something with a rich perfume. For winter birthdays, witch hazel are likely to be in flower with intense, majestic flowers in spectacular shades of yellow, orange and red, giving the appearance of a burning flame against bare (deciduous) stems. If your recipient has the space, fruit trees make wonderful presents, delivering a delicious organic crop that tastes better than anything from the supermarket. Our plants are grown in the UK, carefully packaged and sent by courier throughout the UK for simple, hassle-free delivery of your special gift.
