This genus of plants has spiky blue flowers that look a bit like thistles. The spiky cones are surrounded by serrated bracts, giving the flowers a frightening yet alluring appearance. As a bonus, sea holly flowers work great in bouquets!

The majority of the species in this group of flowering plants is native to tropical regions in South and Central America, but some species are native to Southeast Asia. Some species have an upright growth pattern, causing their cup-shaped colorful bracts to catch water. Other types of Heliconia produce hanging flowers.

Although it’s native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, you may be able to find the corpse flower in botanical gardens around the world. It takes this plant seven to ten years to obtain enough energy to bloom, and each humongous flower lasts for only one to two days. Plus, the flower smells like rotting flesh!

Yes, there’s more than one flower that smells like a rotting corpse! Also known as the corpse flower or giant padma. This plant puts out a strong stench in order to attract the carrion flies that act as pollinators. It parasitizes a member of the grape family and does not have leaves, roots, or stems. It’s also the largest single flower on Earth!

While many plants produce leaves then flower shortly after, surprise lilies do things a bit differently. After you place bulbs in the ground, the plants will send up leaves that later die back. At this point, you may believe your plant is a dud. However, a few months later, the plants send up tall stalks topped with stunning flowers.

Also known as mimosa trees, these small trees produce silky flowers that resemble little pom-poms. If that’s not enough of a reason to love them, they have a uniquely sweet fragrance. Although these trees are native to much of Asia, they have become invasive in parts of the United States. So keep that in mind before you add one of these trees to your yard.

It’s uncommon to find a black flower. It’s extraordinarily rare to come across a dark flower as strange looking as the black bat flower. These plants are native to Southeast Asia, where they grow in the understories of forests. Bat plants also come in other colors, but there’s something magical about this one.

While the small yellow flower of the girlfriend kiss plant isn’t anything special, the bright red bracts surrounding the bloom are unlike anything else you’ve ever seen…except for a pair of lips, of course. This plant is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions and is rarely found outside of its native habitat in South and Central America. And since its native rainforest environment is being threatened by deforestation, this plant has become endangered.

Odmiany mieszańcowe nachyłka osiągają wysokość od 30-65 cm, tworząc kępy szerokości ok. 35 cm. Obficie kwitną od czerwca do września. Wtedy to na bezlistnych pędach pojawiają się bardzo atrakcyjne kwiaty. Kolorystyka kwiatów jest bardzo zróżnicowana, w zależności od odmiany są to kwiaty dwubarwne z oczkiem o wyrazistych kolorach (np. biało- czerwone, żółto-czerwone) lub jednobarwne (np. białe, żółte, łososiowe, karminowe, czerwone, bordowe). Długość kwitnienia można przedłużać poprzez systematyczne usuwanie przekwitniętych kwiatów. Piękny nachyłek przyciągający wzrok, który powinien się znaleźć na każdej bylinowej rabacie. Dodatkowo ze względu na niski, kompaktowy wzrost nadaje się do wysadzania w pojemnikach. Nie znosi nadmiaru wilgoci i zacienionych stanowisk. Dobrze rośnie tylko w pełnym słońcu, na umiarkowanie wilgotnym, piaszczysto - gliniastym podłożu. Na zimę wymaga okrycia.

The Coreopsis 'Honeybunch Red & Gold'  is a robust flowering perennial that will delight you all summer long with its flamboyant red and yellow suns. With its fine dark green foliage, it is undemanding and hardy, and will brighten up your sunny rockeries in any light and well-drained soil. It only requires a bit of deadheading to stay in top shape and also performs excellently in pots.

The 'Red & Gold' coreopsis belongs to the large family of Asteraceae and is part of a genus widely used in gardens: it includes both large species (Coreopsis grandiflora) and small rock plants. These species are mainly native to bright clearings and meadows in North America, where they thrive on relatively poor but well-drained soils. They all produce lovely "sunflower-like" flowers, mostly in golden yellow tones, but more recently also in pale yellow, pink and red. The small species with narrow leaves have given rise to many hybrids that are not always very reliable: they fade after a few years or are sensitive to cold.
The 'Red & Gold' coreopsis is part of the 'Honeybunch' hybrid series, distinguished by its neat and regular dome-shaped habit. From June to October, it produces a mass of yellow flowers with a red base on a dense and compact shrub that does not exceed 25 cm (10in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in diameter. It spreads slowly through short rhizomes just below the soil surface.
Resistant and hardy, 'Red & Gold' will thrive in full sun in any slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil, and it requires good drainage  to develop properly: in heavy and waterlogged winter soil, its longevity will be greatly reduced. It tolerates summer drought once established. To achieve long and regular flowering, remember to remove faded flowers from time to time: this will stimulate the production of new flower buds, even in autumn if the weather permits. In overly rich soil, the plant may also become a bit floppy: trim the shrub in July to encourage branching and the formation of new flowers closer to the ground. Due to its compact size and undemanding nature, 'Red & Gold' coreopsis is also an excellent variety for container gardening.
You can plant it in rockeries, alongside small perennials that appreciate similar conditions such as Bertram Anderson lemon thyme, Caucasian rock cress Bakkely, mountain alyssum, or graceful grasses like Amethyst fescue.
