The
Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii)
This tough yet beautiful houseplant blooms year-round with little fuss. Indoors, it can reach up to two feet tall. This plant has thorny stems and small, colorful bracts that surround its true flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, white, and salmon.
Which perennial flower has the longest bloom season? While many perennial flowers have long bloom times, the threadleaf coreopsis Moonbeam variety (Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam') is a perennial with the longest bloom time. Moonbeam blooms early in the summer and will continue to do so until the end of the fall.
Its name is Anthurium and is often called the world's longest blooming plant. Each heart-shaped flower spike can last up to eight weeks.
Geranium. Probably one of the longest flowering garden plants, hardy geraniums start flowering around May, and continue to October, depending on the variety. One of the longest flowering varieties is Geranium 'Johnson's blue' (illustrated) which is also attractive to bees.
The corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom, boasts a powerful stink, and blooms for just 2-3 days once every two to three years. The bloom can grow up to 9 feet tall! This plant fascinates visitors of all ages.
Peace lilies, orchids, roses, geraniums, and other indoor flowering plants offer the best of both worlds: Gorgeous foliage year round and seasonal pops of color when their petals burst into bloom.
Bedding plants that flower for the longest time include cosmos, begonias and geraniums. Check the plant label for flowering times when you buy. Another thing to consider is how much maintenance your plants will need.
Verbena is a low-maintenance plant that blooms all year round, attracting butterflies and pollinators with its clusters of tiny, colorful flowers. These plants thrive in sunny spots and are perfect for gardens or hanging baskets.
And Aechmea fasciata, a popular bromeliad houseplant often called “urn plant,” will also bloom just once — at around age 3 — studding their stunning, spiked pink bracts with tiny purple blossoms to complement their strappy, silvery-green leaves.
Annuals that do well indoors during the winter are limited to Coleus, Impatiens (including New Guinea), Nasturtium, Pansy Petunia, Verbena, Wax Begonia, Lantana, and Geraniums, with Coleus and Geraniums being the easiest. Gardening is about experimenting so try any annual you'd like.
A: Some of the most sought-after plants are Peperomia Santorini, Monstera Thai Constellation, Philodendron Pink Princess, White Stripe Dragon Tree (Dracaena), and more. They are rare, unique, and highly demanded, making them the holy grail of indoor plants.
The peepal tree is a tree that gives oxygen for 24 hours. It is also known as the bo or bodhi tree and belongs to the same genus as neem trees. The peepal grows up to 15 m tall and has grey bark on its branches. It's native to India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka but is now found throughout Southeast Asia.
Rubber tree plants (Ficus elastica) are known to live for over 100 years in their habitat of southeast Asia, but generally only about 10 as houseplants. Growing to a height of about 10 feet (3 m), rubber tree plants thrive in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil.
The most exotic houseplant include the strangest-looking succulents like Pseudolithos and Trachyandra. Many tropical plants are also considered rare because of their out-of-this-world appearance, like varieties of Monstera, Alocasia, and Philodendron.
