5 Flowers You Can Plant In Your Garden If You Have Allergies
The spring season produces sunny skies, green grass, and luscious blooms, all of which people look forward to after the snowfalls of winter.
But spring is a dreaded time for those who suffer from allergies. With all the pollen that fresh flowers release into the air, these lovely, harmless-looking blossoms are actually their worst enemies, wreaking havoc upon their lives.
All that sneezing, coughing, and itching makes it tough to enjoy the beauty that spring brings. Maybe you never thought it was possible, but you can brighten your living space this spring and live in harmony with beautiful blooms.
The key to enjoying flowers in and around your home is to select ones that don’t trigger your allergies. Here are five types of flowers that are safe for allergy sufferers to be around.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are easy on the eyes, literally. Not only are they gorgeous and voluminous, but they also don’t exacerbate allergy symptoms.
Now you can marvel at the colorful clusters of blooms and the fact that you will be freed from the shackles of itchiness.
Roses
You’ll be happy to hear that roses made it onto the list. Everyone should be able to bask in the glory of this classic, elegant flower.

Roses don’t produce much pollen, and the pollen they do produce is too heavy to be airborne. So you can inhale their fragrant scent without worries about sneezing.
Tulips
Tulips are synonymous with spring. Their silky petals invoke joy when looking at them. They are very low-pollen flowers and come in a range of colors, so you have plenty of options for your garden or bouquet.
Hostas
Another popular choice for allergy sufferers is hostas. Their lush green foliage creates a stunning display in your garden. And who can’t help but admire their delicate white and lavender flowers?
The majority of hostas are unscented, so they won’t set off your allergies. Plus, they’re a really low-maintenance plant that greatly enhances your landscape.
Birds of Paradise
The bird of paradise is also an allergy-friendly flower. Their brilliant orange and midnight blue petals resemble a bird taking flight.
It doesn’t release airborne pollen, and it’s easy to care for, so it makes the perfect vibrant and eye-catching plant for any garden or household.
