The best garden flowers for Queensland would be ones that enjoy a lot of sun. Lavender and Hibiscus are both full sun perennials which suits them well to this climate. Suitable annuals to grow in pots or sunny borders include sunflowers, marigolds and zinnias. Part of the joy of gardening is learning about new flowers and adding them to your garden. Once your garden is settled in, you’ll know what parts get sun or shade and how to choose the best garden flowers!
While annuals must be planted each year, only to die at season’s end, if you plant a perennial once, you’ll enjoy its return year after year. Perennials are a great investment to get the most out of your garden budget, coming back year after year. They also bloom for a shorter period of time early, mid-season or later in the season, with their flowering period lasting for a few weeks or so. They typically take a few years to get established, so don’t fret if they seem lackluster the first year or two. During this time, they’re setting down a root system to return bigger and better each year. Popular perennials include Montauk daisies, Coneflowers and Salvia.
As we’re in Australia, let’s start with the natives, the most popular include bottlebrushes, kangaroo paws and grevilleas. Outside of that, other popular flowers include echinaceas, dahlias, agapanthus and gardenias. The rose is the world’s most popular and acclaimed flower; with the freshest smell and delicate appearance. In Australia, hydrangeas and orchids have been some of the most popular flowers in our gardens for many years.
