Indoor Perennial Flowers

Perennials, or flowers that bloom again every year, are a favorite among gardeners, since the hues of the flowers adorn the garden at the same time annually. If you want to grow some flowers indoors, there are perennials that will develop well in your home and add color and natural decor to any section of the home space.
  1. Glory Lily

    • The glory lily grows well indoors and adds a pop of color to any room, since the blooms are red with yellow trim. The flowers don't require lots of extra care or attention, which makes them a great indoor plant for a new gardener or a homeowner who has a very hectic schedule. It's best to use warm water for the plants and to reduce the amount of water you add to the plant's soil during the winter months. Glory lilies will thrive with a quality potting soil that is general purpose; if the soil packs too tightly, add peat moss or sand to the pot. The flowers have been known to attract aphids, so check for these garden pests on the leaves before bringing the plants into your home.

    Barberton Daisy

    • The Barberton daisy blooms in a number of colors such as white, orange and pink, and make great centerpiece flowers. It's best to position the flower pot next to a window that gets plenty of sunlight, but the flowers will also grow well in partial shade. Moist soil that will maintain a high humidity level is necessary for the Barberton daisy's growth.

    German Primrose

    • The German primrose is available in a several pastel colors like light pink and lilac, and should be grown in a cool area of your home, as the plant will wilt if it is too warm. Direct sunlight is not good for the German primrose either so a porch area or windowsill where the plant will be partially shaded works well; the dining room or kitchen table are ideal for displaying the flowers as well if the tables don't face the sun. The flowers can grow up to 12 inches, and need moist soil to continue blooming. Any quality potting mix is acceptable for use, and the soil should not be fertilized when the German primroses are in bloom.
