Several species are grown as pot plants or as ornamental plants in gardens, for example, O. versicolor. Oxalis flowers range in colour from whites to yellow, peaches, pink, or multi-coloured flowers. [11] Some varieties have double flowers, for example the double form of O. compressus.
F. glauca is a perennial [1] clump-forming ornamental grass noted for its glaucous, finely-textured, blue-gray foliage. The foliage forms a dome-shaped, porcupine-like tuft of erect to arching, needle-like 9-ribbed blades, [3] radiating upward and outward to a length of 140–180 mm. Light green flowers with a purple tinge appear in terminal panicles atop stems rising above the foliage in late ...
A honey bee collecting nectar from an apricot flower.. The nectar resource in a given area depends on the kinds of flowering plants present and their blooming periods. Which kinds grow in an area depends on soil texture, soil pH, soil drainage, daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, extreme minimum winter temperature, and growing degre
Some ornamental grasses are species that can be grown from seed. Many others are cultivars, and must be propagated by vegetative propagation of an existing plant. Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is easily recognizable, with semi-dwarf to very large selections for the
Ornamental grasses and grass-like plants are valued in home landscapes for their hardiness, ease of care, dramatic appearance, and a wide variety of colors, textures, and sizes available. [15] Many ornamental types of grass are true grasses (Poaceae), however, several other families of grass-like plants are typically marketed as ornamental grasses.
Crocuses are grown in USDA winter zones 3–8. [118] Not all species are hardy in the upper zones; C. sativus is winter hardy in USDA zones 6 through 8, and C. pulchellus is hardy in zones 5 through 8. [92] Some are suitable for naturalizing in grass, but mowing off the foliage before it turns yellow produces short lived plants.
This category contains the native flora of Florida as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).
It is cultivated as an ornamental grass. This species also has potential as a noxious weed and is easily spread via seed contamination. It has been declared a weed in Puerto Rico and a potentially invasive weed in Mexico. [6] The seeds are eaten by songbirds and small mammals, while the larvae of certain butterflies feed on the plant. [7]
