THIS CHRISTMAS, DECORATE WITH PLANTS

'Tis the season to trim the tree and deck the halls to set a festive mood for the holidays.  If you've ever visited my store, you know how much I love flowers.  Our wreaths are always lush with colorful hydrangeas and whatever stems are relavant to the season and you'll always find sprigs of ivy and radiant stems scattered throughout.  I'm continually surprised each time I'm invited to a home for a consult when there's not a plant in sight.  Plants, be it Christmas or otherwise, are perfect living accessories.
They can fill a corner, add life to a room, bring color into a space, and create interest in a vignette.  

Christmas plants are as important for celebrating the season as all the other holiday traditions, like baking Christmas cookies, taking a trip to the Christmas tree farm, and decorating your tree in style. The great thing is that live plants can be enjoyed for the holidays to add a splash of color in any room with few care needs. They're perfect last-minute gifts, too!  Some of them, such as Christmas cactus, last for years, while others, like poinsettias, are best enjoyed for just the season.

​

While there may not be a ton of fresh-flower options available during the wintertime, there are still some beautiful decoration options for Christmas flowers, including vibrant greenery, berry branches and colorful wintertime blooms. Decorating your home for the holidays with traditional Christmas flowers and plants doesn't have to be extremely time- or labor-intensive. In fact, my best advice is to choose just one or two areas in your home as focal points and spend your time and energy on making those spots shine.   

Here's a list of the top 10 plants used for holiday decorating around the world - 
      1.   The Christmas Cactus             6.  Mistletoe                  
      2.   Holly                                              7.  Radishes
      3.   Poinsettia                                     8.  The Christmas Rose
      4.   Ivy                                                  9.  Wheat
      5.   Amaryllis                                     10.  Cranberry
     
So this year,  breathe new life into your holiday decor.  Add a few pine boughs and pinecones to a basket near the fireplace, trail some ivy across the mantel or around the staircase, or place a poinsetta in your entryway.  I guarantee that with a little care and creativity, you'll find that plants can be a beautiful and festive part of your holiday decorating.    

Happy Holidays!!   Leslie
