Spring is just around the bend and for garden centers, the traffic is starting to pick up which signifies the seasonal change on the horizon. Another month down means it’s time to walk through the garden with an astrology lens, this time focusing on Pisces.
Going With The Pisces Flow
Pisces is a water sign that is known for going with the flow, even as things start coming back to life in Spring. The sign of Pisces falls between the 19th of February and the 20th of March and is known for being the most intuitive of the signs.
Pisces are known to feel they have connections to nature and plants, meaning a trip to your favorite local garden center is certainly in order for birthday celebrations!
The Best Plants for Pisces
The greatest thing about Pisces is that they are all-around fun to be around. They have a great sense of humor, are genuine, and are spiritual. They also tend to trust when they shouldn’t and become blue easily.
When shopping for yourself or a loved one who is a Pisces, there are a few that would be perfect for them.
Flowers:
Water Lilies
Since they are a water sign, a water plant that literally goes with the flow is Pisces incarnate!
Water lilies are also spiritually important, and both the flowers and leaves have been used in ceremonies for hundreds of years. If you want to go all out and be the world’s best gift giver of all time, a water garden is perfect. Be sure to check out our water garden displays for all the Pisces inspiration you will need.
Orchids
Orchids are refined, but not fussy. Like water lilies, they are another with a long history in spiritual ceremonies.
The caring side of Pisces will gravitate to the particular needs of orchids.
Salvia
Having roots in spiritual healing, salvia’s aromatic nature and beautiful understated texture is another great gift choice for a Pisces friend. The flowers are whimsical which offers humor while still maintaining composure.
Jasmine
The intoxicating scent and simple yet beautiful flower make jasmine an ideal gift.
Either in vining or shrub form, its movements flow in a natural way without looking messy. A few varieties, like the Arabian, also make for a delicious cup of tea!
Best Edible Plants to Grow for Pisces
Watermelon
It shouldn’t be a surprise that a water sign would gravitate to watermelons! In fact, all the melons are a safe bet for Pisces.
Grapes
The flowing form of vining grapes suits the Pisces go-with-the-flow mentality. Grapes carry a high water percentage, meaning it’s another great choice for this sign.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers, like melons, have considerable water and are a breeze to care for. Just watch out for insect pests!
Jaboticaba
If you are looking for an exotic gift, this Brazilian favorite is a water lover, just like your Pisces.
Be sure to water this one well for the best results. If you haven’t tried this one yet, put it on your to-do list now.
Pisces individuals like simplicity and flow, so consider adding pebbles or whimsical containers with your plant gift.
As a final note, if you are trying to gift a Pisces friend with something from the garden, choose something that captures their spiritual nature. Consider enjoying yoga in the garden before shopping for plants. That sounds like an ideal Pisces birthday to me!
