LEGO Botanicals: A Growing Niche in the LEGO Investment Market.
The LEGO Botanicals Collection continues to blossom with popularity, capturing the hearts of LEGO® fans across the spectrum—from casual builders and home decorators to serious collectors and investors. Combining calming builds with elegant design, Botanicals sets have proven especially appealing to adult builders looking for a creative, mindful experience that also doubles as sophisticated home décor. Sets like the LEGO Flower Bouquet (10280) and Orchid (10311) have consistently received praise for their realism and design, and have remained strong performers on the aftermarket. With new additions launching this August, the LEGO Botanicals Collection is set to grow even more stunning.
Customisation and Detail Make These Standout Sets
10372 Hibiscus – A Tropical Showstopper
Launching on August 1, 2025, the LEGO Botanicals Hibiscus (10372) brings a tropical flair to the collection with a beautifully crafted display of blooms and buds. Priced at £59.99 / $69.99 and available for pre-order now, this 660-piece set features 5 large lavender-coloured hibiscus blooms, 4 partially opened flowers, and 2 budding blooms. The attention to detail is exquisite, with yellow stamens and pale green leaves that can be repositioned for a custom arrangement.
The model stands over 14 in. (36 cm) high, making it a tall and graceful centrepiece. It comes with a dark blue plant pot, which gives the final build a sleek and polished look perfect for display in any home or office. Whether you’re a fan of floral arrangements or a collector seeking elegance, the Hibiscus set promises a satisfying build and striking display.
10373 Mini Bonsai Trees – Serenity in Miniature
Also arriving on August 1, 2025, the Mini Bonsai Trees (10373) set offers not one but three bonsai models for builders to enjoy. At £54.99 / $64.99 and containing 709 pieces, this set is ideal for those who appreciate miniature detail and modular creativity. You’ll build a ginkgo bonsai with yellow leaves, a black pine with green needles, and a wisteria tree with flowing lilac blossoms—each rich in cultural symbolism and visual charm.
What sets this trio apart is its customisability. The trees feature interchangeable foliage, allowing builders to swap leaves and experiment with combinations—such as decorating the wisteria trunk with ginkgo leaves for a truly unique effect. Two ornamental stands add dimension and variety to the display, enabling multi-level arrangements that evoke the peaceful balance of a zen garden.
These bonsai models measure up beautifully too, with the tallest (wisteria) reaching over 7 in. (19 cm) high. The set also supports digital building via the LEGO Builder app, offering 3D viewing and progress tracking to enhance the experience.
Why These Sets Make Excellent Investments
LEGO Botanicals sets have shown impressive performance in both primary sales and the secondary market. Their appeal spans demographics—appealing to LEGO enthusiasts, interior design lovers, and even those who have never built a LEGO set before. This broad appeal helps maintain steady demand over time, especially once sets are retired.
Both the Hibiscus and Mini Bonsai Trees sets are poised for success thanks to their aesthetic value, customisability, and display-ready design. They also stand out by offering multiple flowers or trees per set, which enhances their value-for-money proposition. Given the proven track record of past Botanicals sets appreciating post-retirement, these new additions are strong candidates for collectors and investors alike.
With thoughtful design, wide appeal, and lasting display value, the August 2025 LEGO Botanicals releases are not only delightful to build—but smart to buy.
