Flowers
The term flowers, also called blooms or blossoms, generally refers to the reproductive structures produced by flowering plants, or Angiosperms. In this context, we'll be discussing flowers as a group of plants that are typically herbaceous, grow close to the ground, and are used in the landscape to add color and interest to the garden. Flowers have been cultivated by human civilization for thousands of years for different purposes. The genera listed below can be grown as members of cut flower gardens for harvest and display, as attractants for local pollinators, or simply to dress up outdoor spaces. When designing your garden, consider using flowers to create swaths of color, brighten dark areas of the landscape, or to attract beneficial insects and animals to your yard.
