Searching for a unique gift for that special someone can oftentimes be a very daunting task. A bouquet of roses, carnations or lilies are all well and good, but if you want to get a little creative this Valentine’s Day, venture into Hyams where you can find a variety of beautiful Valentine’s Day potted flower arrangements as well as a very unique plant that’s perfect for a gardener.
The String of Hearts vine is very appropriately named given that its leaves are heart-shaped. It has long trailing stems with succulent leaves and coloring that is a bluish-green on top and a gray-green/purple on the bottom side. This plant grows well indoors in brightly lit areas or outdoors out of direct sunlight.
Instead of going the obvious route this 
Valentine’s Day, try giving your loved one something that will last long after a rose’s last petal has wilted; especially if that loved one has a gardener’s heart!
If you’re in search for an extremely easy care plant, then try this. The ZZ plant drinks very little water and can go long periods of time (often as long as 2-4 weeks) without being watered. The ZZ plant isn’t particular about its lighting needs either. It enjoys medium to low light, but keep it out of direct sun as its leaves can easily get burnt. Acting as a natural air purifier, the ZZ plant is an ideal houseplant as it can purify a room by absorbing air pollutants. For more information on the ZZ plant, visit the Hyams Greenhouse!
This form of gardening began as a simple experiment in 1988 when a French botanist, Patrick Blanc, was determined to create a garden without using dirt. Many people, who are lacking outdoor space, are now changing their home, and walls, and bringing this new way of gardening into high demand and increasing its popularity.
Indoor and outdoor living walls can be planted with anything from houseplants to succulents to vegetables. This spring, stop in at Hyams and walk into our Bedding area where you will be sure to find several different wall planting designs!
