Christmas Flowers

Christmas flowers bring in to your home the soft gentle fragrance of the season’s many different varieties. Each Christmas flower has its own story to tell, from the Mexican origins of the Poinsettia, to the European history of Ivy and mistletoe. Christmas is a special time and Christmas flowers simply make the season even more memorable.

Holly is said to bring luck, mistletoe love and good fortune, the poinsettia is said to represent belief and the yule log (not strictly a flower by any stretch of the imagination) was supposed to ward off evil spirits. Some Christmas flowers last longer than others, and choosing them for beauty or longevity (or both) requires some knowledge, and the ability to care properly for them during the holiday season. Just as us. Poinsettia plants can last weeks past Christmas when cared for correctly, of course, cut Christmas flowers they will likely only last a week or so with proper care.

Remember, at Christmas the air is usually much drier and Christmas flowers may need more water than normal. Be sure to arrange your flower delivery a couple of days before your event to ensure a beautiful Christmas flower arrangement when your guests arrive.
