Gift tips
- Pick an easy plant. Every plant here is rated Easy or Moderate in our library; we left out fussy ones.
- Check winter shipping. Shops differ a lot: some include a heat pack, some charge for it, and some won't replace cold-damaged plants. See buying plants online in winter.
- Tell the recipient it is coming so the box isn't left on a cold porch, and choose a weekday delivery.
- Prices are for the plant only and change daily; shipping and any pot upgrade are extra at most shops. The shop's checkout wins.
