Mother’s Day is a special time to show one of the most important people in your life just how much she means. While traditional bouquets are lovely, they’re fleeting – usually lasting just a week or two. This year, consider something more meaningful and long-lasting: bonsai plants from Bonsai Direct. These Mother’s Day plants make heartfelt, elegant gifts that continue to grow as a reminder of your love. Mother’s Day in the UK falls on Sunday 15th 2026 – make sure you have the perfect present!
