By: Christina T.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Mother’s Day gifts and shopping this year might be a little different as we all try to keep our distance from each other. That’s why we want to recommend shopping a bit earlier this year. If we begin shopping and planning now, it could help disperse the rush of traffic. And by the way, mom totally deserves a pop of color early this year, don’t you think? Here are our top plant recommendations and tips for safe gift giving.

Top Annuals for Mom:

Here are the top annuals we suggest for making mom’s day brighter!

Gerbera Daisy –

This bright, colorful flower has always been a fan favorite to gift to mom. This versatile plant can be enjoyed indoors as a blooming houseplant or it can be placed outside as a summer annual. Let mom choose what works best for her.

Coleus –

This plant may not bloom significantly but it sure offers a variety of color through its unique foliage. Enjoy this plant outdoors on a patio table or on the entryway steps in part sun areas.

Geraniums –

This fan favorite annual is chosen for its durability during our summer months in container gardens. This plant offers continually blooming flowers with minimal deadheading. Enjoy outside on the patio or deck.
