🎁 What is the best Gift plant?

Coffee makes an excellent gift plant and is perfect as a houseplant or container-grown fruit tree. It develops into a lush, dark green shrub or small tree, producing fragrant white star-shaped flowers in clusters, similar to gardenias. The entire fruit is edible, starting green, then turning yellow, and finally red as it ripens. Inside, you'll find the seeds, commonly known as "coffee beans," which can be easily dried, roasted, and ground at home ☕️

❔ Why do we love Ground Orchids?

❓ Q: I need your expert advice on a low growing perennial with pretty flowers that I can plant in semi-shade close to my house. What is your favorite perennial?

😊 A: Our most favorite bright flowering perennials are ground orchids!

• 💋 Ground orchids are the easiest and most rewarding flowers for a tropical garden. They thrive in regular garden soil or potting mix, tolerate both sun and shade, and bloom nearly year-round.
• 💋 Their adaptability makes them a perfect choice for any spot in the garden, whether you need to fill a sunny patch or a shaded area under trees.
• 💋 And look at these colors! From vibrant purples to soft pinks and yellows, ground orchids bring a splash of tropical beauty with minimal effort. Their consistent blooming makes them a must-have for gardeners seeking color all year.
• 💋 For profuse blooming, apply Sunshine Orchidasm - Orchid TotalFeed Booster.
