Introducing A Very Merry Buchanan’s Christmas Story

Christmas has taken over the Bungalow! Santa’s workshop sent over tons of goodies for all of our loyal gardeners. Let us help you make your space merry & bright.


Cyclamen

Cyclamen

Add some beauty to your home with our cool season favorite –  cyclamen. These pretty annuals are just the right amount of color to brighten up your garden beds and containers. Their scented blooms in a variety of colors are a must have during  the holiday season!

Cyclamen have long-stalked, roundish leaves that are often described as ballerina skirts. The plants grow from a short underground stem, called a tuber, and have no stem aboveground. Caring for a cyclamen is a breeze! These low maintenance flowers are pest resistant and can be indoor or outdoor plants since they are native to Europe and the Mediterranean and tolerant of cold climates. As for sun requirements, shade to dapple morning sunlight is best, while indoors we recommend placing them in bright light near a window. 


Paperwhite bulbs

Bring on the winter blooms! If you long for spring daffodils during the bleak days of winter, paperwhites are a close relative. 

Paperwhites grow so fast, it is a thrill to watch their daily progress from bulb to flower. They are best grown indoors from late fall through late winter, so depending on how often you plant them, you can have paperwhites blooming all winter long! Their fragrance is divine and can add a nice holiday touch to your living space. When planted indoors, choose a container with good drainage. Add several inches of growing mix and settle the bulbs in place. Keep the top quarter of the bulb above the soil surface and water sparingly until the bulbs have developed roots and are growing well.

Keep in mind paperwhites are sensitive to cold temperatures, so don’t let the bulbs freeze! If you plan to store them for later, place them in a ventilated plastic bag in a dark cool area to keep the bulbs from drying out.

Christmas Decor & Statuary

It’s never too early to get into the holiday spirit!

Break out the garland and Christmas trees. We have cute trinkets to decorate your tree Texas-style! Explore the Bungalow gift shop for ornaments from Old World Christmas like cowboy hats, boots, and saddles. Or if you want a classic Christmas, look no further than our selection of angelic tree toppers, Mr. and Mrs. Claus ornaments and nutcrackers!

As some of Santa’s helpers, we have plenty of holiday decor and statuary to make your garden just as festive! Take a stroll through the garden center and find ceramic gingerbread men, trees, and snowmen or metal holiday statuary that spotlight our favorite holiday characters like the Grinch and Rudolph the red-nose reindeer!

Cardinal Christmas

Cardinal birds are one of the icons of winter. Each year during this time of year, they seasonally migrate to warmer parts of the world. As Christmas approaches, these birds make their way northward, presumably stopping along the way to visit some friends. We like to think of them as symbols of renewal and new beginnings wearing their colorful attire on their journeys back home for holiday celebrations.

Cardinals are also typically associated with faith, hope, and love. These are the guiding themes behind our ‘Cardinal Christmas’ story. Nestled between the branches of the Christmas tree, you’ll find the bright red cardinal in various scenes.


Santa’s Workshop

Santa has made his way to Houston! Everyone knows that Christmas is a time of celebration, but there’s nothing that symbolizes the magic of Christmas like Santa decorations. The Bungalow has Santas of all shapes and sizes.

Fill your space with the jolly gift giver. This theme is perfect for those with kids, or those who are forever young at heart!


Texas Christmas

Texas is huge, but if you stop and think about it, this state pretty much has everything. The weather varies from arid desert to tropical rainforest. If you’re looking for a state with diversity, look no further than Texas. This why we’ve decided to create an entire Christmas story dedicated to this amazing state!

Whether you’re a born and raised Texan or a transplant, there’s no doubt in our mind that you love the festive feel of all things Texan. Deck the tree with cowboy boots, a bowl of guac, and other symbols of Texas culture.


Nutcracker Christmas

If you’re looking for classic yet modern holiday decorations, you should look no further than our Nutcracker Christmas story! No holiday would be complete without an impressive nutcracker or two. The story of the Nutcracker has been passed from generation to generation, capturing the imagination and forcing us to imagine all kinds of stories and fill in the gaps.

Bring the magic home this holiday season.
