Plants
Poinsettias still top the list for favorite winter holiday plants, but also offer
interesting alternatives including tropical plants such as Anthurium
and orchids, bulb plants like 'Paperwhite' Narcissus and amaryllises, unusual
plants such as Helleborus, as well as other traditional favorites including
Christmas cacti, Cyclamen and Azalea/Rhododendron.
Foliage plants can run the gamut from trendy options like "frosty
ferns"
(actually a spike moss, Selaginella kraussiana); rosemary trees and
topiaries; dwarf lemon cypress trees; dwarf citrus and pear trees;
miniature holly bushes; and even succulents to more traditional
favorites such as English ivies; peace lilies; and, of course,
Norfolk Island pines.
Dress up your holiday plants with decorative items like
deciduous branches, pine cones, cinnamon sticks,
miniature ornaments and decorative
wire, to name a few. Upgrade
your plants by placing them
into beautiful containers
that set you apart from
your competition.
Wood or birch-bark
containers impart
a rustic look while
metallic ceramic
containers provide an
elegant aesthetic.
e options
are endless.
