Additionally, they make great gifts for the hosts of the dozens of holiday parties you’ll surely be attending.

What Plants Make the Best Holiday Decorations?

Mistletoe

A common party decoration, mistletoe is a small plant that’s typically hung in doorways and has become known as the place where two people can meet for a kiss. Originally a sign of fertility, the Christian church had banned this kind of decoration for years; however, it still remains a popular ornament during the holiday season.

Poinsettias

Some people believe the red leaves of this garden plant are a flower, but these are actually its leaves. Their color ranges anywhere from white to red; however, most people purchase ones with red leaves as they’re the plant that’s associated with the holiday season.

Holly

Holly is another common decorative plant during the holidays, as it provides a similar color scheme with its sharp green leaves and red berries. Often used as an accent in flower arrangements throughout the winter months, live Holly plants can be difficult to find during the holidays and will sometimes be made of plastic or fabric.

Rosemary

Rosemary has become increasingly more popular over the holidays. Today these garden plants are sold pruned into the shape of miniature Christmas trees. Alongside being a festive ornament, rosemary will also bring a refreshing scent into your home.
