Roses are red
Violets are blue
This Valentine's Day
Consider something new
Feb. 14 is fast approaching. While roses often dominate the floral landscape this time of year, there are other romantic options to consider. Escape the ordinary this season and discover some captivating alternatives your Valentine will love and cherish long after the flowers wilt.

Tropical houseplants like Bromeliads feature classic blooms in red hues. These are a perfect fit for your Valentine’s Day color scheme. Most options come in four- to six-inch pots, making them the ideal accent for a desk or small tabletop.

For more vibrant hues, choose an orchid (Phalaenopsis). These come in beautiful shades of white, purple, green, blue and pink. Pre-potted options are convenient and ready for placement.
|
The leaves of an Anthurium are glossy and heart-shaped, making them perfect for Valentine’s Day. These plants also help cleanse the air of harmful chemicals and can bloom all year round when properly cared for.

Cactus plants, aloe vera, and other small, potted succulents make a great gift for any occasion. They have a high tolerance to low light, and this makes them an exceptional choice for February when many homes see less daylight.
