Flower plants to grow in a garden vary widely, but some popular and easy-to- grow options for beginners and garden enthusiasts include:
- Zinnias: Annual flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white that bloom in summer and attract butterflies. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil.
- Dianthus: Perennials with fragrant flowers in red, purple, pink, and white. They bloom from May to August and tolerate full sun to light shade.
- Marigolds: Annual flowers in yellow, red, and gold that bloom through spring, summer, and fall. They repel mosquitoes and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.
- Snapdragons: Annuals or short-lived perennials with colorful blooms from spring to fall, preferring full sun and well-drained soil.
- Wax Begonias: Best in partial sun or shade, blooming in summer and fall with orange, pink, white, or yellow flowers.
- Lupines: Perennials or annuals with blue, white, yellow, pink, and purple flowers. They grow tall and like full sun or filtered light.
- Fuchsias: Preferring shade and moist soil, these could be grown as annuals elsewhere but are perennial in warmer zones, with purple, pink, red, and white flowers.
- Geraniums: Low-maintenance garden staples that come in many colors and grow well in full sun or partial shade.
- Lavender: Perennials with purple or lavender flowers that bloom in summer, drought tolerant and attract bees and butterflies.
Other common garden flowers to consider include cosmos, daisies, sunflowers, crocuses, magnolias, lilacs, peonies, and nasturtiums. Many of these flowers also provide benefits such as attracting pollinators (bees, butterflies), repelling pests, or being edible. For vegetable gardens, flowers like marigolds, nasturtiums, cosmos, and coreopsis are excellent companions that can help with pest control and attract beneficial insects. The choice of flower plants depends on your garden's climate, soil, sunlight, and desired aesthetics or utility. A combination of these flowers can create a flourishing and colorful garden environment.
