Plant suggestion for fall?

My family is looking to send a thank you plant to a lady who has helped us out a lot lately. She likes to work in the garden so we%26#039;d like to get something she can plant and will last. Have any suggestions for a plant that is in the gift price range and will be able to be planted soon?

Plant suggestion for fall?
How about those amaryllis bulb kits you can buy them at wal-mart in the garden center, the price i saw them at was 5.97$


It is a very beautiful flower like the one in my 360 picture. It is a very very beautiful flower im a 100% sure that the lady will love it. Im positive.
Reply:Variegated prayer plant - indoor potted plant. If outside flowering maple-(shrub) with hibiscus shaped flowers that droop in such colors as burgundy, white, and apricot. They%26#039;re really beautiful and some cangrow to about 4 feet-deciduous--lose their leaves in winter. http://www.sd1new.net/GardenPages/flower...

Snap dragon


Pansies


Gerbera daisy





Check out the garden department at Lowz or HomeyD, they put out seasonal plants. Very kind thank you idea.
Reply:Mums are a wonderful plant that do well indoors and may be planted outdoors once the blooms pass. You can find them in almost any color, other than blue. Some mums do not come back every year. Depending on climate it may be difficult to get them to perennialize.





Another great choice this time of year is the Aster. They come in shades of pink, purple or white. I prefer these as mums are so common and the asters make a great color pop this time of year in perennial beds. They are extremely hardy and easy to grow.





I have also made up garden baskets in the past for gifts. I take netting and gather several varieties of bulbs into the netting and tie them up with ribbon. I then take a pair of gloves and perhaps some bulb food or a small trowel and put the items into a nice basket with a carry handle.





Baskets are really nice to have for gardening too so that makes the gift double duty. I usually pick up a nice assortment of them at Goodwill or Salvation Army for a dollar or two each. Putting your gift in one is always a thoughtful and welcome gesture :)
Reply:Mums would be a good bet. They%26#039;re in bloom now, Fall is a good time to plant, they%26#039;re perennial, many color choices, hardy %26amp; reasonably priced. Consider too an assortment of bulbs such as tulips %26amp; daffodills plus flags. They too are planted in the Fall for Spring bloom. They%26#039;re also perennials and will spread thru the years.


If you wish to spend a bit more, consider a small tree such as blue spruce (slow growing but will get huge unless dwarf) ,dwarf japanese red maple, dwarf fruit tree,...
Reply:Bonsai%26#039;s a good gift along with Amaryllis Nymph , shrubs, tulips,polyantha roses, check this site for more- http://www.gardens4you.co.uk/index.php?p... i hope this helps, thanks!
Reply:For low light try a peace lilly. They are easy to maintain and can be put outside during the warmer months and grow well inside as well.





For high light try a %26quot;Wildcat%26quot; type of orchid. (wildcat is a class of hybrids with many varietals) Easy to maintain and bloom once or twice a year often with 50+ flowers.
