Purple Flower Identification

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.
