Red Flowering Plants
Red flowering plants are a great choice for romantic occasions including weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day, as well as for Remembrance and traditional decorations for the festive season.
Roses are a classic red flowering plant, but modern choices also include Dipladenia's, Camellias, Dahlias, Hibiscus, and Amaryllis. Red flowering plants are uplifting and often add a sense of warming tropical vibes to a home or garden.
This collection of red themed plants covers everything from vibrant reds to subtle pinkier shades and darker crimson hues. Please do note that for some plants multiple colours may be available so you may need to select from a drop down menu or add a note in the special instructions if it's a red hued plant you are after. Some plants may only be available at certain times of year but we'll update this page regularly with more red flowered favourites and of course if there is a particular red flowered plant that you are searching for that isn't listed here then please do feel free to get in touch and we'll always help if we can.
What about red themed planters? Our gorgeous planted arrangements are made up fresh at the nursery by our planter queen, Fiona, so if you'd like a particular colour palette just let us know. We often have red flowered cyclamen, primulas, and dianthus that can be included in a special planter so please just make a note in the special instructions to let us know you'd like just red flowering plants or a nice mixture of complimentary pinks and whites in your planter for example and we'll do just that.
Why choose red flowering and foliage plants?
Red plants are more than just a colour choice, they’re often a statement. From bold, romantic red roses and amaryllis to more subtle crimson camellias and classic red flowering cyclamen, our collection of red plants adds warmth, passion, and vibrancy to every setting. Whether you’re shopping for Valentine’s Day, a wedding or anniversary gift, festive décor, or simply to brighten a room, our red flowering plants are full of vibrancy.
What are the best red flowering plants to send as gifts?
It really depends on the recipient and the space they have available, and the occasion. For ruby anniversaries, our ruby wedding clematis is a thoughtful choice for patios and gardens. For Valentine’s Day, pots of red roses are a classic choice and will last much longer than a bunch of cut flowers. And for birthdays, our red flowering Dipladenia will be sure to impress.
