Flowering House Plants

How to choose the best flowering house plants

Flowering house plants bring to life every corner of your home. Try Passiflora violacea for a striking show in your conservatory or Echeveria ‘Purple Pearl’ for a small space such as a windowsill. Team them with one of our beautiful decorative pots for the perfect display. Read our guide to windowsill gardening for more ideas, along with our additional guidance below.

Which flowering house plants have the best scent?

For the very best scent, choose gardenia or Stephanotis floribunda.

Which flowering house plants are suitable for a hanging basket?

If you’re looking for something striking to fill an indoor hanging basket, Hoya linearis, H. wayetii and H. gracilis all make excellent choices. Another good option is the trailing cactus Lepismium bolivianum and, for scent, Cymbidium ‘Ice Cascade’ produces cascading racemes of fragrant white flowers from a spiky crown.

Which flowering house plants bloom the longest?

The heart-shaped red, white or pink bracts of anthuriums last for a really long time, and lend your home a tropical feel. Orchids like Dendrobium nobile ‘Sunny Eye’ and Orchid ‘Apollon’ also flower for many weeks, while Adenium obesum ‘Red’ is covered in blooms all summer.
