Father's Day gifts: plants or flowers for Dad

Plant or bouquet for Dad

For a dad who likes things low maintenance, Dish Garden for Dad fills one ceramic container with live green plants, and the European Dish Garden mixes foliage with blooming plants that open in stages, in Small, Medium or Large. Neither needs a green thumb: bright, indirect light and water when the soil feels dry are usually enough. If flowers for dad feel right, Father's Day Blooms pairs sunflowers with blue and yellow and comes finished with a balloon, and Designer's Choice - For Him lets the florist pick bold, sturdy stems. See more plants if he already keeps a few going.

Father's Day gift questions

What flowers are good to give Dad?

Sunflowers, bold mixes in blue, yellow or deep red, and sturdy greenery tend to suit dads who aren't into soft pastels. Father's Day Blooms is built around sunflowers, and some dads enjoy a living plant even more. For his birthday later in the year, see our birthday flowers for him.

Is there an official Father's Day flower?

There's no official one, but the rose is the flower most often tied to the day. An early custom called for wearing a red rose to honor a living father and a white rose for one who had died. Sunflowers have become a popular modern pick for Father's Day flowers.

Are Father's Day plants easy to care for?

Yes, for most people. Keep the dish in bright, indirect light, water when the top of the soil feels dry, and don't let water pool in the container. With that routine, Dish Garden for Dad can keep growing for months, and the European Dish Garden keeps opening new blooms.
