Heart Hoya

The heart hoya is a huge favorite among our customers. This cute little sweetheart succulent is a classic gift choice for Valentine’s Day. Usually only growing one single leaf, this succulent may be small, but this beautiful leaf forms a perfect heart shape that shows that unmistakable message of love. The Heart Hoya is also a great choice because, like any other succulent, it is a low maintenance houseplant. These plants love a bright sunny windowsill and water only when completely dry.

Jasmine

Jasmine not only looks great when displayed in a pot on a table or in a hanging basket—it smells incredible! This sweet exotic fragrance is also said to be an aphrodisiac, making Jasmine the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your significant other. Place your Jasmine in a bright spot in your home, making sure that the potting mix stays lightly moist.

Succulent Gardens

Succulent gardens are always a great gift, especially for that plant mom or dad. These beauties come with a variety of succulents and cactus plants in a container or hanging pot. With all these varieties, they have one thing in common—they love a lot of light. Placing them in the sunniest spot in your home is best. Water them when dried out, and you’ll have a happy plant.

Hydrangeas are by far some of our favorite blooming flowers here at City Floral. Their giant, colorful, clustered blooms are what make the florist hydrangea plant so unique. The florist hydrangeas make a great gift on Valentine’s Day instead of roses because they will last longer and require little care.
