Rieger Begonias
Rieger Begonias are known for their stunning, vibrant colors and ability to thrive indoors, making them ideal for gifting on Valentine’s Day. With their bright reds, pinks, and whites, these flowers add color and joy to any room. Symbolically, begonias represent deep feelings and emotional connection, making them an apt choice for a romantic gesture.

Rieger Begonias also has a long blooming period, so your special someone can enjoy the beauty of the plant long after the chocolates are gone.
Carnations
Carnations are a classic choice for Valentine’s Day. They come in an array of colors, most notably shades of red, pink, and white—that symbolize different emotions. Red carnations convey deep love, while pink carnations express admiration and affection, and white ones represent purity and remembrance. This versatility makes carnations suitable for a wide range of relationships, from passionate love to platonic affection. Their ruffled petals and pleasant fragrance add a timeless charm to any container or flowerbed. Plus, carnations are known for their longevity, so they can last much longer than other flowers, serving as a lasting reminder of your heartfelt emotions.
Heart-shaped Hoya
For something more unique and eye-catching, a Heart-shaped Hoya can be a beautiful gift. These sweet little plants feature waxy, heart-shaped leaves that give off a romantic and whimsical vibe. Known as the “Sweetheart Hoya,” they symbolize love and affection, making them a perfect fit for a Valentine’s Day gift. The plant’s thick, waxy leaves are a striking feature and add an extra touch of sweetness. Not only do they represent love, but Hoyas are also easy to care for, making them a great low-maintenance gift that can thrive in homes with a little bit of sunlight.
Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe is a great choice with its vibrant, love-affirming colors, especially red and pink, which symbolize affection and passion. Its long-lasting blooms represent enduring love, and the plant’s low-maintenance nature makes it easy to care for. Kalanchoe thrives with minimal watering and can flourish in various light conditions, making it ideal for those with busy lifestyles. Its compact size also allows it to fit easily into any space, from windowsills to desks. With its beautiful, colorful flowers and resilience, Kalanchoe offers a unique, thoughtful alternative to more traditional Valentine’s flowers.
Gerbera Daisies
Gerbera Daisies make a wonderful choice because of their vibrant, cheerful colors and symbolic meaning of love, beauty, and innocence. Their bold, eye-catching blooms bring a fresh, modern twist to traditional flowers like roses, offering a unique way to express affection. Available in a variety of hues, from soft pinks to fiery reds, they can suit any romantic gesture and brighten up the day with their joyful energy. Perfect for creating a memorable and colorful gift, Gerbera Daisies are a beautiful symbol of happiness and love.
When caring for these blooms, keep in mind they prefer a cool, indirect light and should be kept away from direct sunlight to extend their freshness!
Geraniums
Geraniums make a thoughtful gift, offering a long-lasting symbol of love, friendship, and warmth. Their bright, colorful blooms can brighten any space, making them a cheerful reminder of affection. Plus, they are relatively easy to care for; they thrive in well-drained soil, need plenty of sunlight, and should be watered when the soil feels dry. With minimal maintenance, geraniums can continue to bloom all spring!
