Orange Flowering Plants

83 plants

Orange is the most underused bold color in American gardens. It pairs beautifully with purple (blanket flower next to salvia), holds its own beside yellow (helenium with rudbeckia), and signals late summer better than anything else. Crocosmia arching over a path. Daylilies by the hundred. Tiger lilies through tall grass. Don't shy away from it.
