Most of us put big emphasis on Mothering Sunday, but this year don't neglect your dad on Father's day. From spicy orchids, to cacti and herb planters there's sure to be something to please his macho taste and inspire his green fingers.
And contrary to a popular misconception, men love flowers - especially architectural and bold flowers. Tropical flowers are very masculine and also long lasting. We have some varieties that you simply could not find anywhere else. Tall, sturdy, masculine and lasting - just like dad.
Father's Day is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad. It is a day to not only honour your father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in your life - whether your celebrating a Stepfather, Uncle, Grandfather, or 'Big Brother, here are a few suggestions on finding the perfect gift idea.
Cactus. The perfect choice for a macho man, not too floral and not too high maintenance. Cacti require less watering so busy dads can come and go as they please and not have to concern themselves about their welfare. Men who turn their noses up at lavish bouquets happily accept a piece of the wild into their home or office. A cactus is an exotic choice but quickly settles in like it has always been there, making it the ideal gift for a much loved father.
Green Plants. Another easy to care for plant, Green Plants are a perfect choice for the father figure in your life. A striking leaf shape can immediately enhance an office space or study, giving your dad a gentle reminder of you and all the family without too much maintenance or effort. Green is great at bringing bit of nature into an otherwise uninspired space and calms the senses, freshening the air and creating a balanced environment. An idea choice for a busy dad or after a long trip away travelling when a much-needed de-stress is priority.
Some green plants, such as buxus, or various types of bonsai, can even last for years with only modest maintenance. Buxus is a popular choice as topiary because it survives outside, and its small leaves can be selectively trimmed.
Flowering Plants. For those green fingered dads, and we know there are lots out there! Consider a flowering plant (or two). A popular choice, our selection of flowering plants will be sure to bring cheer on father’s day and makes a welcome choice from the standard chocolates! We have a great selection of plants to help bring the welcome warmth of spring into the home too. Spring and sunshine is captured in our baskets, like the Narcissus, sure to bring the countryside inside, or a beautifully blooming basket of hyacinths to put a smile on dad’s face.

Tropical Flowers. Tropical flowers like Guzmania, Aechmea, Sego Plant, and Vriesea make for great leafy choices. Indoor exotic plants will fit beautifully into your dad’s space in your home or the office, adding interest and a focal talking point. They make a unique and memorable gift that’s just that little bit different. Although these plants need to be sheltered from the cold a number come from quite dark forests so can flourish in poor light making them ideal as an indoor plant. Others are better shown off in the best light available near to a window so perfect for an office space or anywhere that needs brightening up, (including a grumpy dad’s spirits).
