If you’re feeling lazy but still want to do something that is productive and rewarding, gardening might just be your calling. It doesn’t demand too much, gives your space a splash of beauty, and hey, plants do more for the environment than most of us on a Sunday morning. So if you’ve been looking at your empty balcony or backyard thinking, “Should I plant something?”—the answer is yes. And don’t worry, we’re not throwing you into a jungle of plant parenting. Let’s talk about flowering plants that are easy to spot, easy to care for, and even easier to fall in love with.
- Periwinkle (Sadabahar)
Sadabahar, as the name translates to in Hindi, the plant is known for its pretty little blooms almost all year round. It has pink or white flowers that are modest but delightful, and can be rolled under the hardy categories for flowering plants. You can forget to water it for a couple of days, and it will still smile back at you. A perfect start for beginners.
- Marigold
When mentioning flowering plants, I rarely forget to mention the orange-yellow beauty of Marigold. Hard to avoid, it has become an absolute classic in every Indian garden out there. Apart from their signature pom pom flower shapes, they have a beautiful aroma. Well, I would call it pleasing to us, but it asks many insects to find their way out. Add them to your garden for a festive, cheerful vibe.
- Zinnia
A perfect ode to the love of gardens spanning over the ages is Zinnia. If you’re looking for something bold and vibrant, zinnia is the perfect addition to your garden. Zinnias are blooming plants that come in all sorts of colours—from red and purple to yellow and white. They love the sun, don’t fuss much, and instantly lift the mood of any garden.
- Portulaca (Moss Rose)
This low-maintenance flowering plant thrives in heat and poor soil, which means it’s perfect if you’re not ready to commit to daily watering or nutrient-rich compost. Just plant it, give it some sun, and let it do its thing.
- Petunia
If you’re aiming for a more colourful garden, petunias are the answer! Petunias are beautiful, special seasonal flowers that will liven up your garden instantly. They grow well in hanging baskets, planters, and even tiny pots. With their velvety petals and soft fragrance, they can turn any dull corner into a charming floral nook.
- Hibiscus
A bit more tropical, but still easy to care for. Hibiscus plants come in various shades and make for great ornamental additions. Plus, they attract butterflies—because what’s a garden without some winged visitors?
- Aparajita
Not just beautiful but also symbolic, this climber is perfect for fences, balcony railings, or vertical garden walls. With its deep blue to violet flowers, it brings a sense of calm and serenity to your space.
