African Violets will probably be well received, in any age group.
Tell your date how to care for them properly when you give them.
Also, you may think this is cheesy, but a LOT of people (myself included)love chia pets (plant growing kits that your date can grow herself). Get her something cute or romantically themed--(just don't get her Elmer Fudd, okay?)
Now, I have something really cool, Really, really cool to tell you--if you give your date a subtance called dip and grow (a powdered rooting hormone) she can maybe cause that cut plant to root!
Wouldn't that be awesome!

you should use any field which will carry soil and also have sturdy drainage holes, so pots used for cooking may ought to have holes punched in them. the same for tupperware. they could desire drainage holes. yet another threat is to flow to a plant nursery and ask them for previous pot boxes or your friends.verify round.

Try a bulb flower, like pixie tiger lillies. They seem to be more hardy, in case she isn't good with plants. Nothing too too big.

Peace lilies are nice...beautiful foilage...and pretty flowers if cared for right. If you go with this...make sure your love interest waters it, waters it waters it...they love to be wet.

first, anything you think is pretty. get what you like. other than that, african violets are good. depends what your love interest like--traditional? exotic? i like bromeliads, but some folks might not. a miniature rose is another option.
