Purple flowers -- a symbol of mystery, creativity or wisdom -- are ideal candidates for your home garden due to their attractive color. Select purple flowers with blooms that are the right size and fragrance for your garden.
Size
If you're growing a cozy home garden and want to feature relatively small blue flowers, anemones are a great choice that is easy to care for. Larger purple flowers include the iris and delphinium; since these plants are taller, the blooms will be a little more noticeable.
Shape
If you're looking for an exotically shaped flower purple flower to display as a centerpiece or to give as a gift, the tall, cone-shaped lupin, or African lily, is a wonderful choice. The scilla, which is a hyacinth flower, grows in circular clusters, and looks great on coffee tables or wrapped in decorative paper as a bouquet.
Considerations
Several types of purple flowers offer fragrance as well as color. Freesia flowers, which have triangular petals that range from lilac to deep purple, offer a soft and clean scent that is great for the powder room. Place lavender plants in the bedroom to emit a calming fragrance that can help you sleep better.
