When choosing plants that flower for your garden, you have lots of options: from small, dainty flowers to those with large blooms that make a dramatic statement, as well as quickly fill up flower vases with cut flowers. Here are 15 plants with large flowers to consider for your garden, depending on the climate in which you are gardening.
Tip
Although there are exceptions, plants with large, dramatic flowers typically need more water and fertilizer than more modest plants. Watch your plants carefully, and if the blooms are not up to your expectations, the plants might require more regular feeding or water.

Peonies with bomb-type flowers make a statement in the spring garden, but tree peonies can sport blooms up to ten inches across on woody stems that do not die back to the ground in winter.

- Color Varieties: White, red, pink, purple, yellow
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Fertile loam, well-drained

In the world of hydrangea hybridizing, the big blooms just keep getting better.
This genus of plants has several species commonly used in landscaping, all of which are famous for having large flowers. For example, Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' has 12-inch flower heads that are a stunning staple in many shade gardens. However, 'Incrediball' has increased in popularity because it also blooms on new wood but its stems will not flop under the weight of rain-soaked blooms. In addition to the cultivars of H. aborescens, varieties of H. macrophylla, H. serrata, H. paniculata, and H. quercifolia are all known for their impressive blooms. A sheltered site with some shade will help your hydrangeas shine throughout the growing season.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 9 (depends on species)
- Color Varieties: Blue, pink, white, red, purple
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade
- Soil Needs: Rich, porous, rich soil; pH can affect bloom color of some species

The classification term dinner-plate dahlia is used to describe any dahlia variety with large, impressive flowers measuring at least eight inches across.
Most commercially available dinner-plate dahlias are hybrid cultivars. If you have successfully grown dahlias in the past, your quest to grow dinner-plate cultivars like 'Belle of Barmera' or 'Lady Darlene' will be easy. Like many large flowers, dahlias like more of everything: more sun, more water, more feeding. Remove side buds to enable plants to direct their energy into producing a few giant flowers. Stake plants for support, and expect the blooms to mature in late summer. - USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 to 11; grown as an annual in colder climates
- Color Varieties: White, pink, red, yellow, cream, orange, purple, maroon; solid and bi-colors
- Sun Exposure: Full sun (some afternoon shade helps in very warm climates)
- Soil Needs: Moist but not soggy, rich, well-draining soil

The plants known as water lilies include about 70 species within at least five different genera.
They are found across the world, but those most often sold commercially are tropical species. Most species have fairly large flowers, but those known as giants have genuinely enormous blooms and leaves. For example, the night-blooming flowers of Victoria amazonica strive to keep up with its incredible ten-foot leaves, which can support a small person's weight. Its basketball-sized flowers only live for a few days to carry out their reproductive destiny. Although you cannot cultivate this plant in a typical water garden, you can admire healthy examples of the giant water lily in botanical gardens like Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 11 (V. amazonica)
- Color Varieties: White to pink/purple
- Sun Exposure: Full sun

The lemon-hued 'Charles Darwin' and the 200-petal count 'Spirit of Freedom' are repeat bloomers, yielding six-inch flowers all season.

Top 10 High Candle Flowers in Garden Design
Every modern garden has flowering perennials.
Without them, it is impossible to imagine a flower garden or a mixborder. When planning your flower beds, selecting plants for leaf beauty, flowering time, and flower color, take into account a whole group of gorgeous perennials that will add vertical accents to your garden. Their high inflorescences-candles soar up with expressive accents, give dynamics to garden compositions and attract the eye. Even when they fade and pass the baton to other plants, the faded candle-like inflorescences of many perennials remain decorative in the dry, although they fade into the background.
In garden planning, candle flowers make it possible to effectively fill vertical space where maximum decorative effect is important in gardens with limited space. Perennials with candle flowers are indispensable in large spaces. To make the flower garden look good from a fairly long distance, plant perennials with tall inflorescences. They will help create good vertical proportions for the flower bed and balance the perspective.
Candle perennials are real garden soloists. With the right selection of plants, they will lead their blooming batch from spring, summer, autumn, and dry inflorescences will continue to decorate your garden in winter. We will help you to choose magnificent blooming "candles" for both a shady area and for the sun, for a cozy romantic corner and a bright lush front garden.
Candle-blooming plants are always in the spotlight. Liatris, foxglove, eremurus, lupine, knifofiya, mallow, delphinium, yucca - this group of perennial plants has several common characteristics. They have small compact beautiful bushes, basal rosettes of leaves. But the inflorescences are amazing. Peduncles up to one and a half meters high are crowned with tall inflorescences. Candle flowers rise above flower beds, give brightness to garden compositions, professional design look, and become noticeable compositional accents.
1. Eremurus is a magnificent perennial that can produce some of the tallest flowers.
Eremurus is a showy plant for open sunny places. From spring to mid-summer, the eremurus forms a rosette of basal narrow leaves, and in July it seems to shoot upward with a tall, rigid peduncle up to 150 cm. The inflorescence of adult plants is huge up to 50-80 cm, but light and delicate. Consists of small flowers similar to bells. Species popular in culture, narrow-leaved and giant eremurus, have long flowering up to 40 days. Better soil - light loam without stagnant water.
2. Liatris - not as tall as eremurus, but it can surprise you with beautiful flowering and a wonderful aroma of candle inflorescences. Even dry petals retain a pleasant smell. Liatris species Liatris spicata can reach 60-70 cm and it feels good even in pots on balconies. But in the garden, with proper care, it can give a peduncle 120 cm high. Liatris has the longest spike-shaped inflorescences compared to the peduncle - up to 35-55 cm. After planting, the leaves form a rosette, and in June and July they decorate the garden with bright inflorescences of different colors .
Plants for sunny places with drained soil.
3. Veronica is a graceful and unpretentious plant, relatively low, but completely charming. The height of the lush bushes of Veronica longifolia is up to 60 cm, the tops of the shoots are crowned with graceful narrow inflorescences up to 25-30 cm. The colors of the varieties are blue, dark blue, and purple. Veronica grows even on very poor soils, in bright places. In landscape design, Veronica is best planted in groups.
4. Astilbe is also not a very tall plant, but its racemose inflorescences will decorate the semi-shady corners of the garden. Our catalog presents varieties of astilba in a variety of colors. High astilbes of the Arends hybrid group - will decorate the garden not only with tall lush inflorescences up to 90 cm tall, and openwork bushes with decorative foliage. The best varieties will help you out in partial shade areas with moist, well-drained soil. If you properly care for astilba, you can enjoy its flowering all summer long.
5. Knifofia - This perennial plant from the African continent has perfectly adapted in our gardens and winters without problems in open ground. In June-July, from a rosette of narrow linear silvery leaves of this perennial, a smooth, strong peduncle up to 120 cm long appears, with an amazingly beautiful yellow-red inflorescence. Kniphofia is a plant for bright places without waterlogging.
6. Lupine is one of the most unpretentious and spectacular perennials with candle-inflorescences. Lupinus has expressive palmate leaves on elongated petioles, on which the morning dew looks like pearls. During the flowering period in June-July, lupine flower stalks rise to a height of up to 120 cm. The color of the flowers ranges from soft pastel soft pink and blue tones to spectacular burgundy-white bicolors. In garden design, a wide palette of colors allows you to create harmonious compositions. For planting, well-lit places with good garden soils are suitable.
Read more about planting and caring for lupine seedlings in our blog article.
7. Digitalis or Digitalis is a very showy plant. The rosette of leaves is low. During the flowering period, it seems that Digitalis is one continuous tall inflorescence. The height of the peduncle can reach 150 cm with good care. Foxglove seedlings bloom already in the year of planting, and candle inflorescences attract butterflies to the garden. Digitalis needs a lot of light, it tolerates drought well, but needs fertile soil.
8. Delphinium or spur is one of the most beloved perennials. Modern varieties and hybrids are two-meter favorites of flower growers. Candle inflorescences reach a length of 80 cm and consist of many fairly large up to 5 cm simple or double flowers. And if you take good care of Delphinium, you can achieve flowering not only in the season in June-July, but also again closer to autumn. The color of delphinium varieties is rich in delicate tones and different colors: from white and light blue to soft pink, purple and rich purple.
And for lovers of bright colors - there are spectacular bicolors. Plants for soft penumbra and moderately moist fertile soils.
9. Mallow or stockrose is a perennial without which no fashionable flower garden can do. Alcea rosea combines magnificent inflorescences up to two meters high and large double magnificent flowers up to 10 cm. The palette of colors is the widest, for every taste. Mallows grow well on cultivated soils, moderately moist. To prevent tall and heavy inflorescences from lodging, plant plants in a group and provide them with a garter.
10. Yucca - completes the top 10. This is an exotic and very showy perennial. Its paniculate inflorescences consist of large bell-shaped flowers. With an unusual and even tropical look, growing yucca is quite simple. It will surprise you not only with huge inflorescences up to 120 cm, but also with evergreen leaves that peek out from under the snow in winter. We offer species that winter well.
Flowering occurs in mid-summer and lasts until autumn.
For each plant with inflorescences, select areas of the garden that are suitable for growing conditions. Cut off faded flowers promptly to encourage further flowering. As we can see the list of colors of "candles", let you choose what you like and create incredible visual effects in the garden. Create and grow colorful candles in your flower beds.
Top 10 | The largest flowers in the world
The word "flowers" usually represents something elegant, colorful and fragrant. However, in nature, not all flowering plants are diminutive, there are also large specimens, and some are so large that it is hard to even imagine.
10 Peonies
They are found as perennial herbaceous plants or shrubs of small and medium size. Large, heavy flowers often need support. Blooms in late spring - early summer.
9 Hibiscus
Some wild shrubs and trees of this tropical plant have trunk diameters about the size of a human leg.
Hibiscus are known for their large flowers in a variety of colors, such as red, yellow or orange.
8 Clematis
Although clematis is a fairly common flowering plant, not everyone knows that some of its species are impressive in size, for example, perennial climbing vines with large flowers of various colors.
7 Hydrangeas
This flowering plant is widely distributed in Asian countries - Japan, China, Indonesia and Korea. Despite the large number of diverse species, most hydrangeas are shrubs 1–3 m high with large inflorescences.
6 Sunflower
Unlike other large flowering plants mentioned above, the sunflower is not a rare species - it is often found in a wide variety of natural areas. The apical inflorescences of this annual plant are quite large, and the stem can reach 3.5 m in height.
5 Puya Raimondi
Usually found in Bolivia and Peru.
This species, also known as the Queen of the Andes, was first discovered in 1830 by the French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny. The flower stalk of Puyi Raimondi can grow up to 10 m in height!
4 Posidonia oceanica
Marine flowering herb often found in the Mediterranean Sea. It is also known under another name - the herb of Neptune. Posidonia has long leaves, similar to ribbons 7 to 10 mm wide, and its fruits resemble unripe olives in appearance.
3 Umbrella corypha
Known as the talipot fan palm, this plant is native to India and Sri Lanka. It is considered the largest palm tree in nature - the stem of the plant can reach a height of 25 m. Corypha umbellata blooms only once at the age of 30 to 80 years.
2 Arnold's Rafflesia
Another large flower with an unpleasant odor, Arnold's Rafflesia grows only in tropical rainforests. The plant is similar to Titan Arum and is also often referred to as "corpse lily" because of its putrid odor.
