5 Plants Make Perfect Easter Gifts

Easter brings with it a sense of renewal and fresh beginnings. It is one of the first holidays after a dreary winter where we can celebrate the return of warm weather and sunshine with our families. What better way to celebrate Easter than with beautiful flowers and blooming plants? Here are a few uniquely arranged options from Flower Works.

1. Easter Lilies

Easter lilies are the plant most closely associated with Easter. Many churches use the flowers as a symbol of the divinity and purity of the resurrection, and they are one of the most popular gifts for Easter family gatherings. Easter lilies are bulb plants that feature white, trumpet-shaped flowers and dark green foliage. They are known for the size of their blooms and their beautiful fragrance. Make sure to place your plant in a sunny room, and make sure the soil stays well-drained but evenly watered.

2. Daffodils

Daffodils are a sure sign that spring is on its way.  Daffodils make wonderful Easter gifts, whether in a pot or as part of a cut flower arrangement.  They are hardy flowers featuring cheery blooms that can brighten any room.  Potted daffodils can easily be replanted in the fall to enjoy in your garden next spring.

3. Hyacinths

Hyacinths are a popular flower choice for Easter arrangements, and potted hyacinths make wonderful gifts.  These beautiful flowers come in various hues such as blue, white, pink, and purple. Hyacinths are known for their perfumed fragrance. The hyacinth symbolizes beauty, peace of mind, and forgiveness.  Potted plants can be planted in the garden for beautiful flowers next spring.

4. Tulips

Tulips come in over 150 varieties and in every color imaginable.  These simple blooms are a classic choice for Easter arrangements and make wonderful potted flower gifts.  Purple and white tulips are popular at Easter as they represent royalty and forgiveness.

5. Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are an elegant floral choice for an Easter gift. They are equally beautiful as the centerpiece of a cut floral arrangement or as a potted flower.  These potted plants prefer a sunny spot and soil that is well-drained but kept evenly watered. Calla lilies are known for their luxurious green leaves and a single cup-shaped bloom at the end of their long stems.
