Home Grown Notions - Mother's Day: Gifting Flowers

by Beth Cook: Mammoth Cave Transplants:
Mother’s Day is Sunday! We don't want to forget those special ladies in our life! Are you stumped on what you are getting your Mom, Grandmother, Wife? Flowers remain the top gifted item for the Moms in our life on Mother’s Day. Instead of giving the usual cut flower arrangement that will soon wilt and be tossed away, give her a gift that will keep on giving through the spring and summer or even for years to come.

One very important thing to keep in mind when gifting flowers is to know is how much sunlight will it get at its new home. A shade loving plant will not be able to survive in an area that gets sun a majority of the day no matter how much TLC you give it. So be sure to check the labels in each plant. See the below recommendations for lighting conditions.

Full sun: Prefers six or more hours of direct sunshine a day
Partial shade: Thrives in three to six hours of daily sunshine
Shade: Generally does well with less than three hours of sun per day, preferably morning sun.

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving year after year, get her a perennial like a Clematis, a Peony, or one of the many other perennials that are available. Rose bushes, other flowering shrubs like Hydrangeas, and ornamental trees are also a great gift idea that she can enjoy for years to come. If you unsure about what flowers she would like or what type of plant would do best at her home, you can always get your avid gardener some new gardening gloves or tools.

Beautiful garden décor is also another gift idea that may just add the perfect touch to her garden or even a hummingbird feeder. If you are still unsure, you can always get a gift certificate and she can choose the plants to her liking. Take a day and make a special outing with her to pick them out, spending time together would be the greatest gift of all.

To all the Mothers out there,
Happy Mother’s Day from Mammoth Cave Transplants!

Stop by Saturday May 12th for Mother's Day Tea & Cookies! Also with purchase, moms will receive 1 token for 1 free dip of Chaney's Ice cream for Moms in a cup or regular cone. ​
