So, what to get for Mother's Day?

1. Fiddle-Leaf Fig Tree

It's truly the gift that keeps on giving.And though it may not be what you traditionally think of when it comes to Mother's Day gifting, it's perfect for a richly-hued, full look that lasts from season to season.

It's ideal for indoor decor and living, from living room corners to offices and beyond. In fact, its large, glossy violin-shaped leaves are its namesake, perfectly contrasting against a sleek trunk and setting the Fiddle-Leaf apart from the rest...from May to December and beyond.

2. Boston Fern

One of the quintessential plants to welcome spring and summer, the Boston Fern is truly iconic.

The Boston Fern is a timeless parlor plant, and ours comes in a hanging basket - ready to go and grow wherever you place it.

3. Phenomenal Lavender

Merging elegance with unbelievable strength, the Phenomenal™ Lavender is a staple for spring.In fact, this amazing pick can survive in conditions that other lavender plants can't - extreme heat and cold pose no problem for this adaptable favorite.
