Plant gift ideas from Australia with love
When your loved one is halfway around the world, it can feel challenging to show just how much you miss them. But with a thoughtful plant gift, you can express everything you feel — without needing to say a word. Here’s a complete guide to sending meaningful flowers and plant gifts from Australia to England, bridging the distance with a touch of home.
Plants make thoughtful gifts to send to Australian friends and family who have relocated to England, Scotland, or Wales
Why Plant Gifts are Perfect for Homesick Aussies
Australia is a beautiful country where people and nature thrive. It’s a place to enjoy the sun and thrive in the relaxed culture. So if you have a friend, family member, or partner who has recently gone to the UK, sending a plant gift that reminds them of home can create a comforting environment.
Plants are living reminders of home as they require love and attention, building a nurturing bond with something connected to their homeland. Whether you have a long-distance friend who is celebrating a birthday, a family member who has relocated to the UK, or a new friend you met during their travels that you’ve stayed in touch with, a plant gift from Australia to England is a perfect way to show you’re thinking of them.
Plant Gifts That Bring Australia to the UK
If you’re looking to send plant gifts to the UK that offer a reminder of back home, here are our recommendations.
Finger Lime
The Finger Lime tree also known as ‘bush lime’ is a native Australian plant known for its hardiness. It will thrive in a pot in the UK climate and is perfect for citrus lovers. It offers fruits with a bright, tangy flavour perfect for adding to drinks, seafood, and salads.
Wax Flowers
Another Australian native plant, the Wax Flower produces long-lasting wax flowers and is a great way to remind Aussies of their homeland when residing in the UK. Loved by florists for their long vase life, these flowers are beautiful with a subtle fragrance, making them a rewarding and long-lasting gift for Australians living in the UK.
Frangipani
Frangipani, also known as tropical plumeria, are commonly associated with Hawaii and Bali, but they also grow well in Australia and make a unique houseplant in the UK. A great way to send a bit of tropical beauty for someone who is missing the sunshine of home. This plant is common in Australian gardens, and with a little care, will produce a stunning display on a windowsill in the UK.
