Bellflower
Campanula
Bellflower (Campanula) is a genus of approximately 500 flowering plant species in the family Campanulaceae, named for their distinctive bell-shaped blooms. Species range from low-growing ground covers to tall perennials, bearing flowers in shades of blue, purple, violet, white, and pink. Widely cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens and containers worldwide.
Dalmatian Bellflower
Campanula muralis
The Dalmatian Bellflower (Campanula portenschlagiana, still widely sold as Campanula muralis) is a vigorous, mat-forming evergreen perennial native to the rocky mountains of Dalmatia, Croatia. It produces a dense carpet of small, heart-shaped leaves smothered in purple-blue, star-shaped bells from late spring through summer. Prized for rock gardens, walls, and container edges, it is remarkably easy-going once established.
Peach-leaved Bellflower
Campanula persicifolia
Campanula persicifolia, the peach-leaved bellflower, is a hardy herbaceous perennial native to the alpine and woodland regions of Europe. It forms low rosettes of narrow, peach-tree-like leaves and sends up slender, upright stems bearing open, bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue-violet or white from early to midsummer. Easy to grow and largely untroubled by pests or disease, it is a cottage-garden classic prized for borders, rock gardens, and cut-flower arrangements.
Dalmatian Bellflower
Campanula portenschlagiana
Campanula portenschlagiana, commonly known as the Dalmatian bellflower or wall bellflower, is a low-growing evergreen perennial native to the Dalmatian mountains of Croatia. It forms dense mats of heart-shaped leaves smothered in starry, funnel-shaped purple-blue bell flowers throughout summer. Extremely vigorous and hardy, it thrives in rock gardens, walls, and as ground cover, earning the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
Serbian Bellflower
Campanula poscharskyana
Campanula poscharskyana, commonly known as the Serbian Bellflower, is a low-growing, spreading perennial native to the Dinaric Alps of Serbia and the western Balkans. It produces masses of star-shaped, lavender-blue to violet flowers from late spring through fall, making it one of the most prolific and reliable flowering ground covers for gardens. It thrives in rocky crevices, walls, and slopes, spreading readily via adventitious roots. Its deer resistance, drought tolerance once established, and adaptability to various light conditions make it a favourite in rock gardens, borders, and hanging baskets.
Harebell
Campanula rotundifolia
Campanula rotundifolia, commonly known as Harebell or Scottish Bluebell, is a delicate perennial wildflower native to Europe and North America. It produces charming nodding bell-shaped flowers in shades of violet-blue, blooming from summer through fall. This hardy plant thrives in rocky gardens, meadows, and grassy slopes with minimal care.
Tall Bellflower
Campanulastrum americanum
Campanulastrum americanum, commonly called tall bellflower or American bellflower, is an erect annual or biennial wildflower native to moist, partly shaded woodlands, meadows, streambanks, and ditches across eastern and central North America. It grows on a single unbranched, light-green stem that can reach 3-6 ft (90-180 cm), lined with rough-textured, toothed, lance-to-egg-shaped leaves. From June through August it produces open, star-shaped, five-lobed flowers about 1 in. across in light-to-dark violet-blue with a white throat ring, borne solitary or clustered in the leaf axils. The flowers have a distinctive curved style that helps ensure cross-pollination by long-tongued bees, bumblebees, and hummingbirds. It self-seeds readily, and depending on when seedlings germinate it behaves as an annual or as a biennial that overwinters as a basal rosette.
Guabiroba
Campomanesia pubescens
Guabiroba (Campomanesia pubescens) is a native shrub of the Brazilian Cerrado savanna, belonging to the Myrtaceae family. It features twisted branches, simple leathery leaves, and fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring. Its small yellow fruits, resembling miniature guavas, are treasured by local wildlife and harvested for fresh eating and artisanal preparations.
Trumpet Creeper
Campsis radicans
Campsis radicans, commonly known as trumpet creeper or trumpet vine, is a vigorous deciduous woody climber native to the southeastern United States. Valued for its clusters of tubular orange-to-red (occasionally yellow) flowers that bloom from early summer through fall, it is a magnet for hummingbirds and pollinators. The vine climbs by aerial rootlets and can quickly cover walls, fences, and arbors, reaching 6-12 meters in length. Because it spreads aggressively via underground runners and self-seeding, it is considered invasive in some regions outside its native range and requires regular management. Handle with care when pruning: the sap can cause mild skin irritation (contact dermatitis) in sensitive individuals.
Canna Lily
Canna
Canna is a genus of fast-growing tropical perennials celebrated for their bold, exotic flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. Native to tropical and subtropical Americas, cannas are widely grown as ornamental plants in gardens and parks, delivering spectacular blooms throughout summer and fall. Their broad, lush foliage adds a dramatic tropical accent to any outdoor space.
Water canna
Canna glauca
Water canna is a perennial herb in the family Cannaceae, native to wetlands of tropical and subtropical America, from the southeastern United States through Mexico, Central America, South America and the West Indies. It is easily recognized by its narrow, blue-green (glaucous) leaves and its large, pale-to-bright yellow flowers, produced from spring through fall. Unlike most cannas, it grows naturally as a marginal aquatic or bog plant, rooting in wet soil or in up to about 15 cm (6 in) of still or slow-moving water around lakes, marshes and pond edges.
Indian Shot
Canna indica
Canna indica, commonly known as Indian Shot, is a tropical rhizomatous plant native to the Americas. It produces spectacular blooms in shades of red, orange, yellow and pink atop upright stems reaching up to 2.4 meters tall. Its large paddle-shaped leaves range from deep green to green-purple, creating a bold tropical statement in gardens.

Canna Lily
Canna x generalis
Canna Lily (Canna x generalis) is a hybrid herbaceous perennial widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical gardens worldwide. Resulting from crosses of various Canna species, it is renowned for its spectacular flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white, as well as its broad, ornamental leaves. It is one of the most popular ornamental plants in landscaping, especially in borders, poolside plantings, and tropical garden designs.
Shepherd's Purse
Capsella bursa-pastoris
Capsella bursa-pastoris, commonly known as Shepherd's Purse, is a fast-growing annual weed in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to eastern Europe and Asia Minor but now naturalized worldwide. It is easily recognized by its distinctive heart-shaped (triangular) seed pods that resemble the pouches historically carried by shepherds. The plant produces a basal rosette of lobed leaves and erect stems bearing clusters of tiny white flowers. It thrives in disturbed ground, roadsides, gardens, and agricultural fields.
Chili pepper
Capsicum annuum
Capsicum annuum is an extremely versatile species that includes everything from sweet bell peppers to spicy peppers like Jalapeño and Cayenne. It is a perennial shrubby plant in tropical climates but is often grown as an annual in cooler regions. Its flowers are small and white, giving rise to fruits that vary drastically in color, size, and capsaicin level.
Bittercress
Cardamine
Cardamine is a large genus of herbs in the mustard family Brassicaceae, comprising over 200 annual and perennial species distributed across temperate and cool regions worldwide. Notable species include C. pratensis (cuckoo flower / lady's smock) and C. hirsuta (hairy bittercress). These low-maintenance plants are valued in wildflower gardens, moist borders, and as ground cover.
Hairy Bittercress
Cardamine hirsuta
Cardamine hirsuta, commonly known as hairy bittercress, is a small, fast-growing annual (occasionally biennial) herb in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). Native to Europe, Asia and parts of Africa, it now grows almost worldwide as a common garden weed, favoring moist, disturbed soil in beds, containers and pavement cracks. It forms a low rosette of pinnately compound leaves and sends up slender flowering stems topped with tiny four-petaled white flowers. Its slender seed pods (siliques) ripen explosively, catapulting seeds several feet to spread the plant quickly. Despite its weedy reputation, the young leaves are edible and prized for a peppery, cress-like flavor similar to watercress or arugula.
Nursery bittercress
Cardamine occulta
Cardamine occulta, commonly called nursery or hidden bittercress, is a small annual weed in the mustard family (Brassicaceae) native to East and South Asia. It is best known as a persistent hitchhiker weed in nursery container stock, thriving in the moist, shaded, nutrient-rich conditions of greenhouses and irrigated pots. The plant forms a low rosette of pinnately divided leaves and sends up slender branching stems topped with tiny four-petaled white flowers, followed by narrow seed pods (siliques) that explode open at the slightest touch, flinging seeds well away from the parent plant.
Thistle
Carduus
Carduus is a genus in the family Asteraceae comprising around 90 species of spiny thistles, commonly known as "plumeless thistles" because they lack the feathery pappus found in the related genus Cirsium. Native to Europe, North Africa and Asia, many species have naturalized as ruderal or invasive weeds elsewhere, including North America and Australia. This profile describes the genus generally; traits such as height, bloom time and cold hardiness vary among species (e.g., C. nutans, C. acanthoides, C. crispus).
Musk Thistle
Carduus nutans
Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) is a biennial weed native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, now widely naturalized and declared a noxious invasive species across North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In its first year it forms a low, spiny rosette of deeply lobed, grey-green leaves with wavy white margins. In its second year it bolts to 30–170 cm (occasionally up to 270 cm), producing branched, spine-winged stems topped with large, solitary, nodding flowerheads 3–6 cm across in shades of reddish-purple to violet — giving the plant its "nodding" character. Flowers emit a sweet musk-like fragrance that attracts bees, butterflies, and hoverflies in abundance. A single plant can produce up to 20,000 seeds that remain viable in soil for up to 20 years, making it an aggressive colonizer of pastures, roadsides, disturbed ground, and waste areas. Despite its invasive reputation, it has a long history of limited edible and medicinal use in its native range.
Sedge
Carex
Carex is a vast genus of sedges in the family Cyperaceae, comprising over 2,000 species worldwide. Widely grown as ornamental grasses for their graceful, arching foliage in borders, containers, and water gardens.
Eastern Woodland Sedge
Carex blanda
Carex blanda is a delicate native sedge from eastern North America, prized as a graceful shade groundcover. It forms soft, arching mounds of light green semi-evergreen foliage up to 50 cm tall and 60 cm wide. Exceptionally adaptable, it thrives in clay, loam, or rocky soils across a wide pH range, making it a top choice for woodland gardens, rain gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.
Japanese Sedge
Carex morrowii
Carex morrowii, commonly known as Japanese Sedge or Morrow's Sedge, is an evergreen ornamental grass-like perennial native to Japan. It forms graceful, arching clumps of narrow, often variegated leaves that add texture and movement to shaded gardens. Exceptionally shade-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives under trees, in borders, and in containers.
Bird's-foot Sedge
Carex ornithopoda
Carex ornithopoda, commonly called bird's-foot sedge, is a small, slow-growing, evergreen perennial sedge native to Europe and Anatolia. It forms neat, compact tufts of narrow leaves and produces brownish flower spikes resembling a bird's claw in mid-to-late spring. Popular as a low-maintenance edging, ground cover, or rock garden plant.
Japanese Sedge
Carex oshimensis
Carex oshimensis, commonly known as Japanese sedge, is an evergreen, clump-forming ornamental grass-like perennial in the sedge family (Cyperaceae), native to the woodlands and rocky slopes of Honshu Island, Japan, particularly the Izu Oshima region from which its species name derives. In cultivation, it is best known through its popular variegated cultivar 'Evergold', prized for narrow, arching leaves striped with a bright creamy-yellow center band bordered by fine dark-green margins. Forming low, fountain-like mounds roughly 30 cm tall and 45 cm wide, it spreads slowly via short rhizomes and produces inconspicuous brown flower spikes in spring. Thriving in part shade to filtered sun, where its variegation stays richest, and in consistently moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, Carex oshimensis is prized by gardeners for its low-maintenance, four-season structure. It works beautifully as edging, in mixed containers, along woodland borders, or as a bright groundcover beneath larger shrubs and trees, tolerating occasional drought once established but never thriving in full shade or standing water.
Evergold Sedge
Carex oshimensis 'Evergold'
Carex oshimensis 'Evergold' is a perennial ornamental grass native to Japan, appreciated worldwide for its narrow, variegated foliage featuring golden-yellow centers and dark green margins. Forming compact, arching clumps up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall, this grass-like plant is evergreen, maintaining its visual appeal throughout the year. It is extremely versatile—ideal for borders, groundcover, containers, and Asian-style or contemporary gardens. Deer-resistant, salt-tolerant, and very low-maintenance, it is one of the most reliable ornamental plants for temperate gardens and indoor environments with indirect light.
Pendulous Sedge
Carex pendula
Pendulous sedge is a vigorous, evergreen perennial in the Cyperaceae family, native across western, central and southern Europe. It forms large arching clumps of dark green, pleated, grass-like foliage, above which tall stems carry several slender, drooping flower spikes from spring into summer. A tough, adaptable plant, it is a favourite for bog gardens, pond margins and damp shaded borders where few other plants thrive.
Papaya
Carica papaya
Papaya (Carica papaya) is a fast-growing tropical fruit tree native to Central America and Mexico. One of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits in the world, it can begin bearing fruit within 4–8 months of planting. Its large, deeply lobed leaves, creamy-white flowers, and sweet orange fruits make it a striking presence in tropical and subtropical gardens.
Natal Plum
Carissa macrocarpa
Natal Plum (Carissa macrocarpa) is an evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of South Africa. It produces fragrant, star-shaped white flowers and edible red berries resembling small plums. Widely used in landscaping for its exceptional tolerance to salt spray, wind, and drought, along with its glossy dark green foliage.
Acanthus-leaved carline thistle
Carlina acanthifolia
The Acanthus-leaved carline thistle (Carlina acanthifolia) is a stemless perennial native to European mountains, forming a rosette of large, spiny, pinnatifid leaves pressed against the ground. Its large solitary flower head, which can reach 15 cm in diameter, features pale golden-yellow inner bracts that act as a natural hygrometer: they close when bad weather approaches and open in dry weather, earning it the nickname 'barometer thistle.' A protected species in France, it is typical of dry limestone grasslands, rocky areas, and mountain meadows up to 1,800 meters in altitude.
Panama hat plant
Carludovica palmata
Carludovica palmata, popularly known as the Panama hat plant or toquilla palm, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Cyclanthaceae family, native to the tropical rainforests stretching from southern Mexico to Bolivia. Despite its palm-like appearance, it does not belong to that family: it lacks a woody trunk and grows in clumps from a short or underground stem, with large fan-shaped leaves that can reach up to 1 meter in width and a total height between 1.5 and 4 meters. Its flowers, grouped in a spadix, are cream or whitish in tone, and its ripe fruits acquire orange or reddish hues. It is world-famous because the fibers extracted from its young leaves are hand-woven to create traditional jipijapa hats, erroneously called "Panama hats."
European Hornbeam
Carpinus betulus
The European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a hardy deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of western Asia, prized for its dense, fine-textured foliage and smooth, fluted grey bark. It responds exceptionally well to clipping, which is why it is one of the most popular species for formal hedges and topiary, and its small leaves and compact root system also make it a favorite subject for bonsai.
Sally-my-handsome
Carpobrotus acinaciformis
Carpobrotus acinaciformis is a fast-growing, mat-forming succulent native to the coastal dunes of South Africa. It produces spectacular magenta flowers up to 15 cm wide and features thick, sickle-shaped leaves. Widely used as ground cover in coastal and Mediterranean gardens.
Hottentot Fig
Carpobrotus edulis
