Beyond Roses: Alternative Flowers for Valentine’s Day

Forget the overpriced, predictable red roses this year. Let’s be honest; your love deserves more than just another “same old, same old” bouquet.

We all know the story they tell: classic, safe, and maybe a little… uninspired. But this year, why not ditch non-cliché Valentine’s Day flower options and speak the secret language of flowers?

Valentine’s Day – Beyond the Red

Leave the overhyped roses behind and explore the unique Valentine’s day flowers alternatives. Heavenly-scented stocks, delicate lisianthus, and multi-hued alstroemeria offer pops of color and personality. Want to wow? Opt for bulbs like “The Scottie,” featuring ruffled orange tulips ready to be planted, a gift that keeps giving. 

Red with a Twist

Still drawn to red? Ditch the cliché and explore sophisticated alternatives. Tulips and anemones offer a classic charm, while vibrant hot pink roses add a modern twist. Don’t forget unique greenery like ivy or eucalyptus to elevate the arrangement.

Fragrance First

Let love bloom with aromatic delights. Hyacinths and freesias fill the air with intoxicating scents, while daffodils like “Tête-à-tête” offer a sunny burst of fragrance. Mimosa, with its bright yellow blooms, is sure to boost the spirits of your loved one. 

Cost-effective Flowers

Express your affection without going over budget! Carnations are a lovely and cost-effective substitute because of their rainbow of colors. Add a touch of jasmine foliage for romanticism on a budget. 

DIY Delight

Make the gift extra special by adding a personal touch. Incorporate homegrown foliage or stems into your bouquet. With their soft nodding flowers, Hellebores are a budget-friendly and romantic option. You can even create stunning arrangements using found treasures from your garden. 

Lasting Love with Houseplants

This year, consider a flowering houseplant, a gift that keeps on giving and expresses your love in a sustainable way. A heart-shaped orchid adds a touch of romantic whimsy, while cyclamen, with its ballerina-like petals, offers a touch of elegance. Kalanchoes, easy to care for with vibrant blooms, are perfect for the low-maintenance lover.
