Flowers in December – Christmas cheer for every taste
In December, several flowers and potted plants make particularly good gifts because they are wintery, easy to care for or traditionally associated with the festive season. If you are looking for a suitable flower that will bring joy and remain attractive even in the colder months, some classics and robust alternatives are a good choice.
Popular December bloomers and their advantages
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is probably the best-known plant at Christmas time: it is decorative thanks to its colourful bracts and is considered a classic Advent gift. Many people appreciate it for its festive appearance on the dining table or in the hallway.
Cyclamen tolerate cool locations better than many other indoor plants and often bloom for a long time during the winter season. They are available in a variety of colours and are ideal for recipients who prefer an easy-care but charming plant.
Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is also a typical winter guest in homes. Its large, striking flower stems are ideal as individual gifts or in small pots, conveying elegance and festivity.
The Christmas rose (Helleborus) blooms in some regions as early as winter and symbolises the peaceful winter garden season. It is highly prized as a pot plant for sheltered locations or as a cut flower in winter arrangements.
Phalaenopsis-orchids are popular gifts because they can bloom for a long time and elegantly even in winter. They look classy and require only moderate care, making them attractive gifts for many recipients.
Kalanchoe (Flaming Katy) is a robust, flowering pot plant with compact, colourful inflorescences. It is ideal if you want the gift to continue to bring joy even after the festive season.
Winter heather (Erica carnea) and bulb flowers such as forced daffodils (e.g. paperwhites) are further options for winter blooms that can bring joy as small, fragrant gifts.
POINSETTIA
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a popular and traditional indoor plant for the winter season, known for its colourful bracts, which are often mistakenly referred to as flowers. Originally from Mexico, it is prized for its decorative appearance during the Christmas months. With a beautiful pot, it makes the ideal gift.
ADVENT WREATH
The Advent wreath accompanies many people through the pre-Christmas period and is used by many families as a visible sign of the Advent season. It typically consists of a round wreath on which candles are arranged; beyond that, its appearance and design vary greatly depending on personal taste and regional preferences. It is also popular as a door wreath.
CHRISTMAS ROSE
The Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) is a winter-flowering perennial that is popular in many gardens because of its early flowering. It often produces white to light pink flowers and remains attractive even in cooler months with its green leaves. During the Christmas season, it is also popular as a potted plant, which can later find a nice place in the garden.
Flowers as gifts in December: Advent gift ideas
Flowers can also be a beautiful, seasonal gift in December. If you are looking for a festive and personal idea, both cut flowers and potted plants are ideal, which you can combine with Advent elements. When putting together your arrangement, pay attention to colours and materials that are suitable for Christmas and Advent, and consider whether the gift should be more decorative or long-lasting.
Which arrangements are suitable for Advent?
For Advent arrangements, you can choose traditional colour combinations such as red, white and green, or opt for modern variations with gold or silver accents. A small vase with seasonal twigs, berries and a subtle flower can be just as effective as a decoratively wrapped pot with a flowering plant. Complementary elements such as a candle, dried oranges or a bow add a festive touch to the gift.
