5 Incredible Flowers You Need To Add To Your Garden This Year
Great gardens need flowers that are beautiful, vibrant, fragrant, and attractive to pollinators. And these five flowers check all the boxes. So pick at least one of them to add to your garden this year. You and your garden will thank you for it.
Rose
Roses come in all different shades, unlike some flowers. With roses, you can choose your favorite color to brighten up your garden.
They are also the most sought-after flower. Known as the symbol of love, they’re gifted to wives, girlfriends, and mothers on every major occasion. If you grow them in your garden, you can create an entire bouquet for free.
Furthermore, if you have roses, you can use the perfumed petals in your bath. Who hasn’t dreamed of soaking in a tub filled with silky rose petals? Now that’s the picture of luxury!
Sweet Pea
So, this flower is not to be confused with the round green peas that we eat, although they are in the same family. No part of the sweet pea flower is edible.
The sweet pea is a climber and will give your garden a cool look if you let the vines wrap around a fence or wall. Plus, they’re easy to grow and smell amazing.
They thrive in colder climates, so they’re the perfect addition to your garden if you live somewhere that snows. Sweet peas will bloom until the first freeze.

Daphne
If you’re a fan of the character Daphne from Scooby-Doo, this flower is the one for you. The daphne flower comes in a purple/mauve shade, perfectly matching the fictional fashionista’s signature purple outfit.
Daphne flowers have a pleasantly sweet, clean scent and are a good fit for smaller yards since the shrubs don’t grow too big.
Gardenia
Gardenias are beautiful, dainty white flowers with shiny dark green leaves, and they produce a strong satisfyingly, sweet fragrance.
However, gardenias do more than just look good and smell pretty. They are also known for their medicinal uses and health benefits. Some of the chemicals that the flower secretes may help prevent gluten intolerance and reduce insulin resistance and swelling.
Lilac
Lilacs are tough and reliable. Planting them in your garden will be worth the effort because they last practically forever. They can continue to grow for over a hundred years, outliving those who originally planted them. You can leave a legacy of lilacs!
The purple-toned flower is also edible and part of the olive family. You can make syrup, wine, tea, jelly, cookies, and more.
