Something Dad will actually keep
Plenty of dads say they do not want flowers, then keep the plant on the porch for ten years. A sturdy plant, a succulent or a small tree in a pot can be a better fit than a vase of roses.
If he is a gardener, ask the florist about plants he could put in the ground. If he works long days, a low-maintenance desk plant fits. If he likes bold colors, sunflowers are a strong choice in June.
For a dad who has passed, many families bring flowers to the cemetery on Father's Day. See our cemetery flowers page.
