Heart Shaped Plants to Give for Valentine’s Day

Looking for something different to give your Valentine this year? How about an indoor plant with heart shaped leaves or flowers.

Anthuriums are an easy-to-grow long blooming indoor plant. The red or pink heart shaped flowers rise above glossy green leaves.

Pothos and philodendron are easy-to-grow and long time favorites. Select one of the newer variegated varieties like Brasil philodendron or Neon pothos with bright lime green leaves for an updated look.

Caladiums and elephant ears are popular in the garden, but also make great houseplants.

Or maybe it is a living heart sculpture your Valentine would prefer. Stems of lucky bamboo are often trained into heart shapes or maybe it’s a topiary of English ivy trained into a heart.

Or add a few cut flowers placed in water picks to any pot of indoor plants. 

A bit more information: Enjoy a Valentine’s Day celebration with a friend or family member that is sure to refresh your spirit without adding calories. Join the Feb 13-16 Great Backyard Bird Count.
