Few plants capture the spirit of the holidays like the amaryllis. Known for its large, vibrant blooms, the amaryllis bulb is a favorite during the winter months because it naturally flowers indoors during the colder season. Jackson & Perkins offers stunning options including waxed amaryllis bulbs, which are hassle-free since they doesn’t require soil or watering—just indirect light and then … watch it bloom! The dramatic red, pink, white, and bicolored flowers of the amaryllis deliver joy with stunning blooms, making it a perfect holiday gift that symbolizes beauty and life during the winter months.
The zygocactus is another top 10 most popular holiday plant, and it’s easy to see why. This unique plant blooms during the holiday season, producing delicate pink or red flowers that add a soft elegance to any space. With proper care, a zygocactus can live for years, blooming season after season. This makes them not just a gift but a long-term reminder of the holiday cheer you shared.
For a delightful twist on traditional trees, Jackson & Perkins offers adorable living Mini Christmas Trees that can be used as table centerpieces or displayed on desks and shelves. These miniature evergreens come pre-decorated or with decorations included including festive ornaments and lights. Bring the charm of a full-size Christmas tree into smaller spaces and simplify holiday decorating. These live trees enhance the holiday atmosphere with beauty and fragrance. In Hardiness Zones 2 through 7, you can plant these Alberta spruce in the ground when spring arrives.
No holiday plant list would be complete without the iconic poinsettia. Renowned for its vibrant red and green foliage, this traditional holiday plant has been a staple in winter decor for decades. Create a centerpiece with one or a few of these beauties in decorative gold containers to brighten your dining table. Poinsettias thrive indoors, so this festive touch to your holiday celebration can be a lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness.
For those who enjoy indoor blooms, paperwhites are an excellent choice. These fragrant white flowers that look like tiny daffodils, are grown from bulbs. The sight and scent provide a fresh and uplifting contrast to the cold, dark days of winter. They’re easy to grow indoors and add an elegant, cheerful addition to holiday decor.
While it might be unexpected, it will surely not be unappreciated. Potted miniature red roses have seasonal spirit and classic fragrance that, come spring, you can plant in your garden. And if fragrance is your passion, we have gardenias, rosemary trees, and spring bulbs, too. Give a gift of cheer with these vibrant, growing plants that can be enjoyed throughout winter and beyond.
Freshly cut and hand-assembled, you’ll have a hard time choosing which evergreen arrangement to give. A classic wreath for the front door—but, wait—what about magnolia greens or a quintessential garland or centerpiece? One thing you can be sure of is, you can’t go wrong. These holiday standards are anything but standard with colorful spring and picks, some even come with lights. Festive and easy, sent with love and symbolizing cherished memories.
Not only does the rosemary tree serve as a beautiful holiday plant, but it’s also a practical gift for the foodies and culinary enthusiasts in your life. Shaped like a miniature Christmas tree, the fragrant rosemary offers an aromatic and edible addition to your thoughtful gift. After the holidays, this plant can be used year-round to flavor dishes or simply enjoy its refreshing scent.
For a unique and thoughtful holiday gift, consider a Bonsai tree. These miniature trees represent peace, patience, and care—qualities often appreciated during the hustle of the holiday season. With a variety of types, these beautifully shaped Bonsai trees might start your houseplant collection because they are so fun to shape and need little care.
Succulent terrariums are a trendy and modern option that brings a fresh twist to holiday plant gifts. Succulents are beloved for their ability to thrive with minimal care, making them perfect for anyone, regardless of their gardening expertise. Jackson & Perkins offers stunning succulent terrariums, which feature a mix of small, hardy plants housed in stylish containers. These make great decorative pieces for desks, shelves, or coffee tables. Their low maintenance and unique, sculptural beauty make them a popular holiday plant gift that will be appreciated long after the holidays are over.
Plants bring life and nature into homes during the winter season, helping to combat the gray skies and cold weather.

They symbolize growth, beauty, and sustainability—concepts that are meaningful during the holidays and beyond.
