Mother’s Day Gift | Flowering Bonsai Duo for Mum
A Truly Special Mother’s Day Gift with Flowers and Lasting Beauty
If you are searching for a Mother’s Day gift that feels thoughtful, colourful, and memorable, this flowering bonsai duo offers something truly different. Instead of a single bouquet, this pair of flowering bonsai trees delivers beauty across the seasons and creates a gift that continues to grow.
This carefully curated Mother’s Day gift includes two contrasting flowering bonsai, each chosen for their colour, character, and ease of care. Together, they offer both indoor and outdoor interest, making this a wonderfully balanced and meaningful present.
Indoor – Chinese Blush Tree Flowering Bonsai (Loropetalum chinensis ‘Rubrum’)
The Chinese Blush Tree bonsai brings vibrant colour and charm. Deep purple foliage forms a compact canopy, while hot pink, fringe-like flowers appear during the growing season. Its naturally neat growth habit makes it ideal for beginners, while the bold colouring adds instant impact.
This flowering bonsai suits a cooler indoor room or a sheltered outdoor position. During colder months, it benefits from winter protection to keep it thriving year after year.
Outdoor – Cherry Blossom Bonsai – “Flight of the Butterflies” (Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’)
The Cherry Blossom bonsai adds classic seasonal beauty. Its distinctive zigzag branch structure creates interest all year, even during winter dormancy. In spring, delicate blush-white flowers emerge, followed later by fresh green leaves and rich autumn colour.
This fully hardy outdoor bonsai thrives in gardens, patios, or sheltered balconies. It embraces the natural cycle of the seasons, which makes it a rewarding and symbolic gift for Mother’s Day.
Please note: 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.
Beautifully Presented and Ready to Gift
Each bonsai arrives potted in a navy blue ceramic bonsai pot and includes a dark-coloured drip tray to protect surfaces. We also include a heart-shaped wooden “Special Mum” hanging tag with “Best Mum” messaging to personalise the gift.
Every bonsai includes a printed care guide. The guide explains positioning, watering, seasonal changes, and ongoing care clearly. As a result, your mum can enjoy both trees with confidence from day one.
Please note: Each bonsai is individually grown and shaped, so the exact form, branching, and character of your trees may vary slightly from the images shown.

Additionally, some species need to be kept warmer, such as the Tea Tree. All should be kept in a room with a stable temperature, avoiding heat sources and drafts. Cherry: Grow Cherry Blossom bonsai outdoors in a bright, open position so it can experience natural seasons. Keep the soil evenly moist, feed with Bonsai fertiliser during the growing season, and protect the pot from severe frost in winter. When repotting, late January tends to be ideal - before the buds swell. |

Loropetalum Chinensis Rubrum
The Chinese Blush Tree is a member of the Witch-Hazel family and displays stunning purple foliage and bright pink spidery flowers. This is undoubtedly the most striking and colourful indoor bonsai.
Prunus Incisa 'Kojo-no-mai' is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosacea. It is a very small Fuji Cherry tree with zig-zagging branches and an abundance of flowers. Just as winter ends in early March, the tree bursts into life with lots of white, delicate looking flowers with pink centres. The foliage is serrated, with new foliage having a bronzed tinge and taking on a bright orange colour in the autumn. A dainty slow-growing, early white-flowering cherry, in Japan it is highly regarded as an ornamental tree.
