Some Examples of Orange Flowers

One example of a famous orange flower, the begonia, climbs and hangs thanks to its crampons on a wall or an arbor. It grows during the summer as beautiful flowers in a form of trumpets, which can be yellow, red or orange.

Similar to the poppy flower, the eschscholzia illuminates the garden with its simple flowers of beautiful orange. It is an asset because it can fill all the gaps within your garden without requiring any specific care. In herbal medicine, it can even help you fall asleep!

The nasturtium is an annual with flowers with five petals cut with a long spur, multiplied in quantities by cultivars. It is very common in many cultures.

Finally, the orange gazania is much appreciated in gardening because it is easy to grow without suffering from extreme exposure to the sun. They have a large bloom and are very colorful, similar to daisies, often with a darker center. 

What are the Best Orange Flowers for Your Garden?

First, we can talk about the tagetes, also called carnations of India or roses of India. They are flowers that have either a single or double head, with a large range of shades from yellow to orange, even tending to brown. Their scent is not very pleasant but when you plant it in a vegetable patch, they can ward off pests such as nematodes, whiteflies, and thrips. The marigold Tagetes, called “Safari tangerine,” are very lovely.

Second, there is the calendula, or marigold, which means “the one who follows the sun.” It is an annual herbaceous plant native to the Mediterranean, with robust stems. It is a carefree plant and very easy to grow. It expresses creativity and a strong will to succeed or even the beauty and warmth of the rising sun.

Third, there are the fosteriana tulips. Also called ‘Orange Emperor’, these tulips last longer in very light partial shade, rather than in full sun.
