Introduction

If you’re looking to add a burst of color to your outdoor decor, consider adding some flowering plants. There are so many different types and colors to choose from and most are really easy to care for. Here’s a list of some of our favorites:

Zinnias

Zinnias are among the easiest and most popular annual flowers to grow. They’re also a good choice for a cutting garden, as they flower from summer to frost, and their bright colors will brighten up any display.

Zinnia plants produce large, daisy-like flowers in shades of white, yellow and orange (some varieties have double petals). They come in many sizes too—from small varieties that make excellent edging plants to tall giants that can reach over six feet high. Zinnias are available in double-petalled forms as well as single petalled forms; the latter tend to be smaller overall but still produce impressive blooms.

Zinnias are often used in flower arrangements because they’re so easy to find at local nurseries or home improvement stores during busy seasons like springtime or winter holidays.

Petunias

Petunias are a great flowering plant that is easy to grow and has many benefits. Petunias are great for containers, hanging baskets and window boxes. They can also be planted in the ground. You can even use them as an addition to your garden.

If you have never grown petunias before, it is important that you know what their requirements are so they will grow properly. In order for them to thrive, they need at least six hours of sunlight every day. This is why they work so well when planted outdoors under a tree where there is plenty of sunlight available all day long!

Pansies

Pansies are a flowering plant, in the same family as the viola. They are native to Europe and Asia, but are now grown worldwide. Pansies are a hardy, low-maintenance plant that can be planted in spring or fall, depending on your climate zone. Pansy plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil that is slightly acidic (pH 6 to 7).

Pansies come in all shapes, sizes and colors! There is no limit to how many varieties of pansies you can choose from; it’s just up to you!

Marigolds

Marigolds are a popular choice for home gardens, as they are easy to grow and hardy. They can be planted in almost any soil, and even if you’re not sure what kind of soil you have (or don’t want to bother with testing), marigolds will do fine! Marigolds attract bees and other pollinators, which is great news if you’re trying to encourage them into your garden. Marigold flowers also have a strong scent that some people enjoy—but others may find overpowering or offensive.

Marigold flowers are edible; they can be chopped up finely and used as a garnish on dishes like salads or soups—or even added into stews!

Geraniums

Geraniums are one of the most popular flowering plants used in interior design. They’re hardy, low-maintenance, and easy to grow. Plus, they require little attention from the average homeowner—they like sunlight but don’t need it; they like water but don’t need much; and they can survive for months without being watered at all!

These beautiful flowers are also great for people with busy schedules or small spaces because they’re able to thrive on their own without too much care or maintenance. That said, geraniums do prefer warmth over cold weather—so if you live somewhere where winters get very cold in late fall/early winter (like Boston), you may want to bring your plant inside until spring arrives again.

Nasturtium

Nasturtiums are a popular and easy-to-grow flower that adds color to your garden. They come in many colors and are often used in borders, which makes them very versatile.

They make good companion plants for tomatoes because they help deter pests like aphids and beetles. Nasturtiums also attract butterflies and bees, so you can enjoy the flowers while still benefitting from their pollination services! If you want to attract beneficial insects such as ladybugs or lacewings to your garden, then nasturtiums might be right up your alley.

Morning Glory

Morning Glory

The morning glory is a vine that bears beautiful blue, purple, or white flowers. It’s also a perennial plant—meaning it will come back year after year. If you have the space and inclination, you can grow your own morning glory in a container at home (just be sure to give it plenty of sunlight). If not, there are plenty of varieties sold at garden centers that you can bring home to brighten up your yard!

Primrose

Primrose is a perennial flowering plant and a member of the primrose family. Primrose is a hardy plant that grows in a variety of conditions, including full sun to partial shade, and soil types ranging from sandy to clay. It makes an excellent addition to any garden setting and is also ideal for beginners due to its ease of care.

Primroses are available in both single-stemmed varieties, which are perfect for container gardening or growing outdoors along walkways; as well as multiple-stemmed varieties that can be planted directly into your garden bed. The latter variety produces more flowers than single-stemmed versions but requires frequent maintenance (cutting back stems each year so they don’t become too tall).

Pot Marigolds

Pot marigolds are an excellent choice for flower pots, and they’re also great companions for other plants. Their bright golden blooms make them a beautiful addition to your garden or potted plant collection, but they also serve many practical purposes.

Pot marigolds are easy to grow, can be planted year-round, and require very little attention or maintenance. They’re one of the best companion plants you can find because they attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and ladybugs—all while deterring pests like aphids and beetles!

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are a great addition to your garden, because they are easy to grow, provide food for bees and birds, and can be eaten by humans. Sunflower seeds are packed with protein that’s good for you!

Include these in your garden for long-lasting floral color, and to help your home look amazing.

• Zinnias. These are a great choice for gardeners who are just starting out. They grow well in most climates, and their flowers bloom for a long time (up to eight weeks).
• Petunias. You can’t go wrong with petunias! They’re easy to grow, produce beautiful flowers, and come in different colors so you can find the perfect one for your home or office space.
• Pansies. If you want something that will look good throughout the seasons, pansies will do the trick! They produce colorful blooms from early spring through late fall, making them an excellent choice if you want to keep your home looking fresh all year round without having to plant new flowers every few months like some people do (do not tell anyone we said this).
• Marigolds: These plants aren’t just pretty—they also act as natural insect repellents by emitting chemicals into their surroundings that are toxic enough that they drive away pests but non-toxic enough that humans won’t notice any difference when they’re around them either way.”
