Gifts for Mum | Cherry Blossom Bonsai Starter Kit
A Meaningful Gift for Mum That Blooms Year After Year
If you are searching for thoughtful gifts for mum that feel lasting and full of meaning, this Cherry Blossom bonsai is a beautiful choice. Instead of short-lived flowers, it offers seasonal beauty that returns every spring. As a result, it becomes a gift she can enjoy for years to come.
This Cherry Blossom bonsai arrives as a complete starter kit, making it ideal for beginners. We pot the tree in a classic navy blue glazed ceramic bonsai pot, which provides space for healthy root growth and long-term development. The presentation feels timeless, calm, and ready to gift.
Everything Included for Confident Care
This kit includes a dark-coloured drip tray to protect any of your outdoor surfaces (it isn’t essential for outdoor bonsai) and keep watering tidy. We also include bonsai pruning scissors for shaping and maintenance, along with bonsai fertiliser to support strong growth. Every bonsai comes with a printed care guide, which explains positioning, watering, seasonal changes, and pruning in clear, simple terms. As a result, your mum can care for her bonsai with confidence from day one.
To personalise the gift, we add a wooden “Best Mum” hanging tag, which adds a warm and thoughtful finishing touch.
Cherry Blossom Bonsai with Beautiful Seasonal Interest
Known botanically as Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’, this Cherry Blossom bonsai is also called the Fuji Cherry or the “Flight of the Butterflies” tree. It features a distinctive zigzag branch structure that looks elegant even when out of leaf.
In spring, delicate white flowers appear with soft pink tones and deeper pink centres. During summer, fresh green foliage fills the canopy. Autumn then brings serrated leaves in rich shades of orange and red, often followed by small cherry fruits. In winter, the bare branches reveal the tree’s sculptural form.
This is an outdoor, deciduous bonsai that thrives in gardens, patios, or sheltered balconies. It enjoys bright light and fresh air while following the natural rhythm of the seasons.
Please note: Each bonsai is individually grown and shaped, so the exact form, branching, and character of your tree may vary slightly from the images shown.
Why Choose Bonsai Direct
Bonsai Direct is a professional, trusted bonsai specialist nursery with expert growers who nurture every tree individually. We never mass-produce our bonsai. Instead, we focus on healthy plants with natural character. We include detailed printed care guides, offer excellent customer service, and provide fast, reliable delivery on the date you choose. Each bonsai is carefully packaged to arrive safely, and customer satisfaction is second to none.
We grow our cherry blossom bonsai trees outside and they are a deciduous bonsai species. They should be grown outdoors as they are fully hardy. They are early Spring flowerers, so you should see new buds in February/March. When out of leaf they still exhibit a lovely structure. From spring budding you get wondrous soft pink/white blossom, followed by lush lime green leaves. During autumn you get cherry fruits and spectacular autumn red and golden hues.
