Red-Flowering Houseplants

No hue is quite so festive and warming as red during the winter holidays. Whether the traditional scarlet ribbon festooned among wreaths and garlands, delectable dishes of Cranberry sauce on holiday tables, stripey Peppermint sticks, or Rudolph’s nose, reminders of red are everywhere. Nature, perhaps, says it best with birds, berries, and twigs – crimson cardinals perched on bare tree branches, Rose hips and Holly berries shining in the hedgerows, and stems of Red-twigged Dogwood (Cornus) in lovely vignettes among snow-dusted evergreens. To help you bring more of this cheerful color into your home this holiday season, we’ve gathered a stunning selection of red-blooming (and -berrying) houseplants for you to peruse.
