(Image credit: Future / Annaick Guitteny / Future / Nicola Stocken)

You simply cannot go wrong if you invest in Christmas plants and flowers for your home or as gifts – and these are the best this season has to offer.

Traditional carols such as The Holly and the Ivy or the more recent Under the Mistletoe by Justin Bieber set a celebratory mood, whilst the centuries’ old song O Tannenbaum immortalizes the humble fir tree. When it comes to celebratory floral decorations, little compares with the rich red foliage of poinsettias. Meanwhile, outdoors, even the most dismal morning brings the unlooked-for pleasure of wondrous flowers such as hellebores, clematis or aconites; and berries aplenty on evergreen skimmias and hollies.

So, as you gather greenery to decorate your home or to give as gifts, take a moment to discover the best Christmas plants and flowers for home or gifts.

Best Christmas plants and flowers

This list includes our favorite Christmas plants and flowers. It may be that you plant them now as one of your winter garden ideas – or perhaps you will want display them indoors in containers as a table centerpiece or as part of your Christmas foliage ideas display.  

It's also wonderful to give Christmas plants as gifts – for green-thumbed friends to enjoy as indoor plants or planted in their own yards. You can use many of these picks to plant a winter container, too.

1. Holly

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton )

First, holly, one the more traditional Christmas plants. The most ancient of Christmas traditions of decorating churches and homes derives from the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a seven-day fest of debauchery and drinking. Later, Christians adopted holly to represent Christ’s crown of thorns, the crimson berries a symbol of his blood, and the evergreen leaves a metaphor for life after death. 

Today, boughs of holly are used to decorate Christmas hallways, whilst the berries add color to Christmas wreaths and tree decorations. 

Outside, hollies augment a yard’s permanent framework, either as shrubs, hedging, or as topiary, clipped into balls and standards (discover when to prune holly bushes to keep them in good shape).  

Easy-going holly cultivars from the Ilex aquifolium group vary from bushy to tall, with glossy berries offset by prickly leaves that range from dark to light green, and often splashed with yellow. Male and female flowers are usually borne on separate plants, and one from each sex is needed to produce berries. 

2. Rosemary  

(Image credit: Future / Emma Mitchell)

Rosemary has been associated with the Christmas period long before poinsettia, as rosemary is believed to have been one of the plants in the manger where the baby Jesus was cradled. 

In the Middle Ages, people believed that if they smelled rosemary on Christmas Eve, they would be healthy and happy throughout the New Year, so they walked on rosemary spread across the floors. 

This started a tradition of rosemary in Christmas decorations that we continue today – with the rosemary table top Christmas trees, wreaths, festive swags, and evergreen bouquets.  

If you are growing rosemary yourself, ensure you learn both when to prune rosemary and how to harvest rosemary to ensure it's in good shape for the festive season.  

3. Amaryllis  

(Image credit: Future / Annaick Guitteny)

The massive, six-pointed amaryllis bloom makes an impressive festive decoration at the backdrop of a bleak day. If you want to have a blooming amaryllis for Christmas, you should plant the bulbs no later than the beginning of November, although it’s always safer to just buy one already in bloom.  

4. Ivy

(Image credit: Dan Duchars)

In pagan festivals, ivy was used to celebrate the Winter Solstice and ward off evil spirits. Over time, due to its clingy nature, ivy has come to represent fidelity and, being forever green, eternal life. 

English ivy, Hedera helix, is one of those Christmas plants used to add fresh greenery to wreaths and Christmas table decor ideas, lasting well indoors. 

Alternatively, outdoors this most easy-going of drought-tolerant evergreen climbers can be trained over arbors or arches, the dense canopy giving shelter to countless small creatures.  

English ivy comes in many cultivars with leaves varying from deep to pale green or grey, and infused with purple or yellow variegation. Some are very vigorous, so select a variety to suit the space available. In fall, many varieties bear nectar-rich flowers that tempt butterflies, followed by black fruits in late fall – a treat for the birds. Beware though, these berries are poisonous for humans.

5. White chrysanthemums  

(Image credit: Future / Lizzie Orme)

As the chrysanthemum symbolizes optimism and joy, it comes as no surprise that it’s now synonymous with ‘the most wonderful time of the year’. 

However, white chrysanthemums are also brought into German homes on Christmas Eve because of an old legend in which a peasant family ushers a beggar man in from the cold. Claiming to be the Christ Child, he then fled, leaving two of the flowers behind.  

6. Mistletoe

(Image credit: Alamy)

Many a romance has started with an innocent seasonal peck under the mistletoe, but the reasons behind this Christmas tradition vary. In Norse mythology, it is said that after her son’s death from a mistletoe arrow, the goddess Frigg was so distraught that her tears turned to white berries that coat the plant in winter. However, after the gods resurrected her son, she declared mistletoe a symbol of love, promising a kiss for all who passed beneath. 

Mistletoe is a woody climber that grows in the canopy of trees, with no roots linked to the earth, and remaining green in winter when trees are bare. It is no surprise then that its mysterious vitality has long been associated with magical powers. Druids revered it, because it blossomed even during the frozen winter, and by Victorian times, kissing beneath mistletoe was an established tradition. 

European mistletoe, Viscum album, is a parasitic plant that weakens its host tree, without killing it. Hosts include apple trees, poplar and lime. 

Mistletoe keeps indoors for a couple of weeks after gathering, if kept in a cool place.

7. Hellebore

(Image credit: Nicola Stocken)

At a time when the garden mostly sleeps, a select cast of delicate but doughty Christmas flowers make an entrance onto an unyielding, wintry stage.

One of the loveliest winter plants for pots and borders – or if you want to create a winter flower arrangement – is Helleborus niger, known as the Christmas or Lenten Rose, a semi-evergreen perennial that bears exquisite flowers from midwinter. 

It's easy to grow hellebores. Whilst a sharp frost renders hellebores prostrate, they quickly pick themselves up, none the worse for wear. Hellebores planted near the house can be enjoyed from within, blending well with miniature bulbs, their leathery green leaves adding interest throughout the year. 

As cut flowers, hellebores droop, so it’s best to float the heads in a shallow bowl of water. Hellebores thrive in moist, free-draining, humus-rich soil. Plant in a sheltered spot, in sun or partial shade, mulching in late summer as the new flower buds develop. Repeat in December, trimming back tatty leaves.

8. Firs and pine cones

(Image credit: Future)

The first known Christmas tree to appear in England was in the 1760s when the German-born Queen Charlotte put up a tree at the royal court. Sixty years later, the lyrics of the song O Tannenbaum, emphasize the fir’s tree’s year-round appeal: ‘How lovely are thy branches! Not only green when summer’s here but in the coldest time of year.’  

And, of course, fir is wonderful for inspiring pine cone decorations.

In the UK, the Nordmann fir, Abies nordmanniana, is the most popular Christmas tree variety because it barely sheds its glossy, dark green needles. Some trees are sold with roots, ideal to replant outdoors in a cool, sheltered spot — either in open ground, or in a container ready to re-use the following year. 

For small gardens, there are some handsome slow-growing dwarf evergreen pines such as Pinus 'Ophir' or Pinus contorta 'Chief Joseph' which has golden needles that glow on the dreariest day. 

Grow in a sunny spot, in well-drained soil that is neutral to acidic.

9. Poinsettia

(Image credit: Bjarni B Jacobsen Fotografi)

Originating from Mexico, the poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is tender – but one of the best winter house plants and Christmas plants given as gifts, loved for its brightly colored bracts.  

The Christmas tradition comes from a Mexican folktale about a poor girl called Pepita who, having no present to give the baby Jesus, picked a bouquet of weeds which were later transformed into bright red, star-shaped flowers – a link with the Star of Bethlehem. 

Given the correct care, poinsettias bring seasonal cheer for weeks on end. Position plants in a warm, light position away from strong sunlight and drafts of either hot or cold air. 

Poinsettias are sensitive to temperature and thrive between 60 and 68ºF (15 and 21°C) – prevent foliage from touching cold window panes. Water sparingly, only when the compost feels dry – overwatering causes leaf drop and wilting. To extend the flowering life of plants, mist regularly to create humidity.

Our list of the best poinsettias for Christmas will give you an idea of the different varieties to pick from.

10. Christmas cactus

(Image credit: Getty Images)

Also known as the Thanksgiving cactus and holiday cactus, the Christmas cactus is so-called because it flowers in winter.  

Once you've learnt how to grow a Christmas cactus, with its dainty tendrils and boldly-colored flowers, you will have a plant that can bloom and bloom again throughout winter and beyond. 

A Christmas cactus prefers dappled natural light and well-draining, loose potting mix in winter; in growing season – from spring to September, it will enjoy slightly brighter light. Feed monthly in growing season, too, to guarantee more flowers.

11. Cyclamen

(Image credit: Future)

Wonderful Christmas plants as gifts, indoor cyclamen are ideal for indoor displays; larger than outdoor cyclamen, they are native to the Middle East; outdoor cyclamen are an essential ingredient in your winter hanging basket ideas. Cyclamen come in a range of festive colors – from white to vivid pinks and reds – and will flower even when it's freezing outside. 

Cyclamen enjoy good natural daylight – although keep them out of direct sun and away from radiators if kept indoors. Don't overwater, and remove flowers as they die off to keep the plant healthy and the display neat.  

Once cyclamen have flowered, continue to feed and water them until the flowers disappear and the leaves turn yellow. New growth will return – at which point you can begin watering and feeding again. 

12. Heather

Winter gardens, containers – and even pots indoors – are always at their best when heather is included in the mix. The colors – green, pinks, whites and purples – really stand out against other foliage that has faded to grey or brown; heather also attracts bees year round. 

Plant heather in the fall or early spring. Some varieties – calluna – enjoy acid soil; others – erica – prefer neutral to alkaline soil.

13. Snowdrops

If you are planning a winter garden, snowdrops should be on your list – but equally, forced snowdrop bulbs make wonderful Christmas plants as gifts. 

Why plant snowdrops? They herald the coming of spring – guaranteed to lift the spirits on dreary winter days.  

Keep snowdrops cool to guarantee longer life indoors.

What is the most popular Christmas plant?

The best Christmas plant – or at least, the most popular – is undoubtedly the poinsettia, which starts arriving in our stores from around October/November. One of the most common Christmas plants given as gifts, its bright red and green – and sometimes cream – leaves make it instantly recognizable, and a room instantly festive.

What plants can I grow for Christmas?

The easiest plants to grow indoors for Christmas include poinsettia, snowdrops and cyclamen; outdoors, holly, ivy and hellebore are low-maintenance for planting in December.

What to give friends and colleagues for Christmas or New Year, so that the gift would be appropriate and pleasant? There is a universal, beautiful and at the same time budget option that will please anyone: a flower. In this article - ideas for decorating pots and tips

We have selected five of the most popular plants that are given at Christmas and New Year. They have become a kind of symbol of these holidays, they can be given to both women and men. In the house, such flowers will decorate any interior, they are quite easy to care for, attract the attention of guests and cheer up and vitality of the owners. nine0003

These are champions of popularity that will be appropriate both at home and in the office. You just need to know some rules for caring for them, and believe me, they will fully thank you with freshness and beauty. So, our colorful "five".

This flower is called the "Christmas star" for its shape and brightness. Needless to say, it is at Christmas that poinsettia is most often presented as a gift. If you are lucky enough to receive it or want to accompany this gift with useful advice, please note: the poinsettia loves bright but diffused light, you do not need to put it on the windowsill close to the glass - delicate leaves can get sick from such a cold touch. nine0003

Many people believe that the poinsettia is an annual plant. However, if, after the end of its flowering, you cut the plant to the main trunk and place it in a dark and cool place, only occasionally moistening the soil, then in a few months new shoots will appear, on which Christmas stars will bloom by the next New Year.

By the way, several plants of different colors can make a very picturesque composition that will decorate your festive table or living room interior. nine0003

The peak of popularity of this flower falls on New Year's eve weeks. No wonder it has another name - "Christmas cactus", and precisely because of the flowering time: from November-December to the very end of January. The plant during this period is literally strewn with buds and flowers! This is an ampelous plant, so immediately make sure that its new owners do not have to rack their brains where to find a hanging planter on holidays and where to attach it. The ideal option is to give a low stand along with the Decembrist, which can be placed in a convenient place in the living room. And such beauty is in sight and place! nine0003

The Decembrist is very unpretentious, but does not like extremes in the form of cold, extreme heat, prolonged drought in a pot or waterlogging. Observe moderation in caring for him, and by the next New Year, a whole hat of delicate flowers will bloom in your house!

These flowers have been in fashion for a long time, and many home plant lovers value them for their delicate fragility and beauty. Cyclamen blooms in winter, seems to freeze in spring, is at rest in the summer heat, and comes to life in autumn, releasing new leaves and buds on long legs. When buying, choose cyclamen with many young buds, which usually "hide" under the leaves. nine0003

Cyclamen prefers a cool room with bright lighting, does not tolerate proximity to radiators or fireplaces, as well as spraying. To create the moisture it needs, you can simply keep the cyclamen pots on a tray of wet gravel or near a water source.

This family has about 2,000 species of plants, among the "relatives" there is also a pineapple! If you decide to buy bromeliads as a gift, choose between vriesia, gusmania, neoregelia - these are the most popular varieties. Bromeliad loves warmth, but prefers to live away from the direct midday sun. nine0003

Most important: water this plant carefully, avoiding water stagnation in the soil, but there should always be water in the rosette, in the funnel of leaves! In the hot period, the leaves of this plant need to be sprayed.

It will be an excellent gift: flowering lasts for several months and will remind you of the wonderful New Year's mood for a very long time.

What could be a more appropriate gift for New Year or Christmas than a coniferous plant in a pot? Yes, live Christmas trees, which are cut in large quantities and sold in December, do not lose their popularity among consumers, but many people regret, and sometimes only after a domestic scandal, throw away the crumbling spruce or pine tree at the end of the holidays. nine0003

Potted spruce or thuja can be transplanted in the spring to a house or summer cottage, where it will delight you for many years. And perhaps you will even have a desire not to buy a pine tree and bring it into the house for the next New Year, but to take or take your family out into the air, decorate a live spruce with colorful lights, toys, and arrange an unusual holiday with health benefits.

Having studied numerous decor options, we settled on five, in our opinion, the best ones. Making such a decor is easy, fast, all improvised items are available, and the process itself is creative, you can attract children to it, which is also very cool. nine0003

By the way, if you prefer to choose any other plant as a gift, besides those mentioned by us, by all means decorate a pot or a plant, and then even a small and modest cactus will take on a festive look and give a good mood.

If you have "skillful hands" and know how to hold the knitting needles in them, there is nothing easier than knitting a simple fabric from any yarn and putting it on a flower pot. The edges can be sewn with threads, matching them to the tone of the yarn or making them contrasting, you can glue the canvas to the surface of the pot. Buttons or beads, small cones or beads are suitable as an additional decor. nine0003

If you don't know how to knit, look for remnants of lace at home or buy a meter and a half of lace ribbon in the store. Cut the tape into pieces and carefully glue it to the pot top, bottom or middle. You can pick up a lace ribbon with a thread and a needle, then such a “skirt” will give your gift a funny and homely look.

There can be any color scheme of such “clothes”, it all depends on your imagination and the interior in which your gift is to settle.

Don't have the time or inclination to mess around with decorating a flower pot, but don't like the "straight from the store" option? No problems. Are there ribbons? If there are no ribbons, you can buy them literally on the way to visit. The main thing is to tie them beautifully on a pot or on top of a transparent package. You can make a lush bow, build a voluminous knot or tie several small flower pots together with twine, and decorate with a ribbon on top and add a few spruce cones under it. The composition will turn out quite festive! nine0003

It is better to choose a bright ribbon, red will look ideal, reminiscent of the color of a bag with gifts from Santa Claus. You can choose green if, for example, you bought a poinsettia with a red leaf cap as a gift. The gold color of the ribbon will give any potted flower a touch of pomp, if you think it's appropriate. A white ribbon will symbolize snow, and a Christmas tree toy can be hung on the plant itself if you have chosen a coniferous gift.

There are no limits to fantasy if you have artistic talent, time and a sense of proportion. On the pot you can draw a New Year's landscape, a funny face, figures of Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden, birds, angels ... there are a lot of options! If you don’t know how to draw, find a template on the Internet, download it, cut it out, attach it to the pot and paint over the cut out places. You can even use watercolors, then just gently apply a clear varnish on top. nine0003

For minimalist artists, the idea is to write any suitable words on the pot: “Happy New Year”, “Happiness”, “Congratulations” and others. The main thing in this case is brevity. If you want even more minimalism, draw symbolic letters or initials of the owners of the house. You can form a word from the letters written on several flower pots by putting the pots in the right order. And there will be entertainment for guests on New Year's Eve! Let them guess what you meant by this or that letter ...

Do you have a piece of fabric left after you sewed the covers for the sofa and armchairs? Was your husband's new Scottish skirt too short? Roll of burlap lying around on the mezzanine? Don't throw away these treasures, they make wonderful flower pot cases.

It is enough to cut a piece of fabric according to the size of the pot and sew its edges or simply wrap it with a certain amount of carelessness with coarse twine, twine, jute rope. Cones are also very suitable for this decor, they can be stuck directly into the pot or attached to twine. Such a flower may well become part of the composition of the New Year's table, especially if it is combined with the color of napkins or additional accessories - candles, vases, small New Year's toys. nine0003

This variant of pot decoration is doubly good: it is simple and goes well with the idea of ​​plant decorations for the New Year's interior. You can use a lot to decorate a pot. For example, cut a dry branch into small round pieces with pruning shears and stick them on the surface of the pot. You can cut wooden skewers for barbecue into identical parts and lay out a pattern from these parts that comes to mind and fits on the walls of the flower container.

Birch bark, twine, designer cardboard are also perfect for decorating such a gift. Well, on top you can add a beautiful ribbon, a couple of cones, a lace decoration - in a word, everything that we have listed in the previous versions. The ecological decor is good because everything suits it. nine0003

  1. When choosing a potted plant as a gift, think in advance whether the friends you want to give it like the flowers. If they prefer brightness in everything, they will like poinsettia. For lovers of rigor and minimalism, it is more appropriate to buy spruce or thuja.
  2. When decorating a flower pot, take into account the presence of a plant, animals or small children in the house. A fluffy bow can attract a cat who wants to play with it at the most inopportune moment and in a very inappropriate place. And loosely glued buttons can fall into the hands of the baby, who will definitely pull them into his mouth. nine0064
  3. Many cats love to play with Christmas tree rain and even chew it. If you decide that without such a rain, the decor will not work, tie it tightly around the pot or glue it so that the “tails” that are tempting for the cat do not stick out. By the way, simply by grabbing such a tip with its claws and pulling it, the animal can send your gift to the floor and turn the holiday into grief and grandiose cleaning.
  4. And find out in advance if your friends are allergic to flowering plants! Any surprise is good because it needs to be thought out in advance and carefully prepared. nine0064
  5. When buying a plant in a store, inspect it very carefully so as not to select a diseased specimen. It will be very disappointing if, after a couple of weeks, only a beautifully decorated pot will remain as a keepsake for your friends, and the flower itself will “order to live long”.
  6. A great option for decor without effort is to put the purchased flower in a wicker basket. You can tie a bow on her handle, and the solemnity of the moment will be observed.

indoor plants and flowers as an ideal gift

December is not only a month of anticipation of the holidays, but also a troublesome period when almost everyone gift to loved ones for the New Year? After all, everyone wants to please their beloved relatives, friends or even colleagues with interesting gifts that will give positive emotions. There is a solution: you can give indoor plants for the New Year 2023 and Christmas, which, with proper care, will delight a person for many years, and every time, stroking the plant, he will remember the donor with warmth. nine0003

Content

List of indoor flowers and plants as a gift for the New Year 2023 00. Flowers are a wonderful gift for both a woman and a man in many ways. Firstly, they are able to decorate the house, the festive table, give a good mood for the holidays, start a new stage with a positive attitude. Secondly, this is an original gift, especially if you give it to a person who has never been fond of growing plants at home (such a present will serve as a great reason to try something new). nine0003

So, what kind of plants can be presented at the New Year holidays?

Poinsettia

Poinsettia (or Euphorbia most beautiful, Christmas star) is the most popular indoor plant as a gift for New Year and Christmas. The most beautiful Euphorbia fits perfectly into the festive surroundings. It looks especially beautiful on the festive table.

Coffee tree

The coffee tree is a very interesting “green pet”, but it is not suitable as a gift for every person, because the plant is very whimsical and requires careful care and special growing conditions. And if you meet all the requirements of the coffee tree, it will delight with its flowers with a pleasant aroma and berries. The plant will definitely appeal to lovers of unusual exotic plants. By the way, it is believed that it is able to purify the air from harmful substances. nine0003

Decembrist (Schlumbergera or Zygocactus)

The plant has many names: Decembrist, Schlumbergera, Zygocactus, Christmas cactus. A very popular and unpretentious plant, which is found in many apartments in our country. Ideal for those who are just starting to get into gardening or are simply not ready to spend a lot of time on care. Flowering occurs, as a rule, in December, January. The shade of flowers can be red, white, yellow, purple, raspberry, pink. nine0003

Cyclamen

Cyclamen is a plant with original flowers and leaves. It is also called Dryakva, Alpine violet. You can find a variety of colors of flowers: red, pink, purple, raspberry, white. Flowering time can vary from the second half of October to early April. Flower culture can hardly be called whimsical, but it requires proper care.

Decorative nightshade

Decorative nightshade (or Cuban cherry) is a great option for the New Year for lovers of original gifts and interesting plants in general. Flowering is not of interest, much more picturesque are small orange or red fruits that look like tomatoes. The leaves are also pretty. By the way, fruit ripening occurs in the winter.

Lemon Tree

The lemon tree at home is still perceived by many as a very exotic plant, but its popularity has increased greatly in recent years. Indoor lemon is a great New Year's gift. Firstly, it (like other citrus fruits: mandarin, orange) is associated with the winter period, so this gift is symbolic. Secondly, it is interesting to take care of him, to watch how he grows and develops, turning into a graceful bush. Thirdly, with proper care, you can get a lemon harvest! nine0003

Ardisia crenate

Ardisia crenate is very attractive due to its cheerful, bright red berries and leathery, shiny leaves. Interesting berries appear, as a rule, at the beginning of winter; with proper care, they are able to remain on the plant for several months.

Gardenia

Gardenia is a truly exquisite and sophisticated plant! It features beautiful white flowers that have a pleasant and delicate aroma. Gardenia blooms from about July to mid-autumn. However, you need to pay for its beauty with careful care, because a houseplant is very capricious and demanding on growing conditions. nine0003

Laurel tree

Laurel is one of the most noble plants. The bay tree is unpretentious in terms of care and conditions, so every person can grow it without much difficulty. In addition to the aesthetic function, laurel can also bring practical benefits in the form of spicy leaves that can be used in the preparation of marinades, soups and other dishes.

What unusual plants can be presented for the New Year

If your relative or friend is an avid plant grower, then you will not surprise him with ordinary houseplants and flowers. The choice of the original New Year's offering will have to be given a little more time.

Venus flytrap

Venus flytrap or Dionea is the most popular home grown predator plant. This exotic can act as a very original and interesting gift! The Venus flytrap is attractive because of its extraordinary appearance. And the process of hunting insects and eating food is a very entertaining sight. In order for the cultivation of the amazing dionea to proceed successfully, you will have to work hard. nine0003

Stapelia

Stapelia (or Starflower) is a succulent with a very original, exotic bloom. Exot is unpretentious, so growing it indoors is very simple. However, their extravagant flowering is accompanied by a sharp, unpleasant smell that not everyone will like. The photo shows Stapelia Motley. In addition to flowers, I would like to note interesting fleshy, thick stems.
