Daisies
There are many reasons why daisies are one of the most popular flowers. They are easy to grow, bright, and readily identifiable. As a result, they are one of the mainstays of perennial borders and cottage gardens. Although the name “daisy” is very broad, there are many varieties of daisy, including yellow, orange, pink, purple, and white. Learn more about daisies below.
Foxglove
The best place to plant foxglove is the back of a garden or container, where its large, dense spikes of flowers make spectacular arrangements. These beautiful perennials grow between 24 and 36 inches tall and have large, bell-shaped flowers with a maroon throat. They are great for naturalising, but also work well in mixed flower arrangements. They are great for mixing with other flowers, including dahlias, lilies of the valley, and snapdragons. These beautiful flowers also grow on stately stems and look wonderful in a mixed bouquet. They are also great for cutting, and are great for the front of a garden or container.
Sunflower
Sunflowers are one of the world’s most popular flower species. This annual plant grows between five and twelve feet tall. The sun-like flower head always points toward the sun and follows the path of the sun every day. This unique property of the sunflower flower head makes it a symbol of symmetry. Sunflower flowers are also excellent examples of the Golden Angle and Fibonacci Numbers. In addition, sunflower seeds are nutritious and a great snack.
Gardenia
One of the most beautiful flowering plants is the Gardenia. Gardenia jasminoides is one of the most common varieties and is also known as Cape Jasmine. This plant is a popular cut flower and blooms late in the spring. The best-known cultivar is the Mystery Gardenia, which has beautiful double white flowers. This plant grows in a range of soil types and is suitable as a shrub, bordering plant, or hedge.
Azaleas
Native to Mexico, Azaleas are grown throughout the world. They are incredibly popular and have been cultivated for centuries. Over the years, plant enthusiasts have created a wide range of cultivars and varieties, including evergreen and deciduous azaleas. A azalea’s flower color varies greatly and the varying species and cultivars can vary widely in hardiness.
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum is a type of flower with yellow centers and white petals. The petals of this type of flower are arranged around the center to resemble the legs of a spider. Some varieties of chrysanthemum are much larger than daisies, growing two to three feet high. Other varieties are smaller, rarely reaching more than a foot. The petals of some types vary from fine to coarse and are called ray florets.
Carnations
Known as pinks, carnations are some of the prettiest flowers around. They are easy to grow, have a wide aesthetic range, and bloom throughout the summer, thanks to their long stems and vase life. The name carnation comes from the Greek word “carnis,” which means flesh. Some people believe the name comes from a myth about the goddess Diana, who blamed a shepherd for spoiling her hunting.
Freesia
There are a few different varieties of freesia, but the most common are striped pearl and double- petaled. The petals of both of these are whitish pink with a reddish tint, and their center is yellow. The blooms of both varieties are fragrant and gorgeous, especially when grown in a container. You can find them in most supermarkets, but they are especially lovely in a vase.
