10 Beautiful Orange Perennials – Best Orange Flowers For Your Garden

Beautiful orange perennials in brilliant hues of orange, peach, apricot, and coral await you. There are several orange perennials you can grow in your garden if you adore the hue of orange perennials.

Here is a list of some simple to maintain and popular orange perennials that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other useful insects to your yard.

1. Ranunculus also known as Ranunculus asiaticus

Ranunculus also called Persian Buttercup and Rose of the Spring is a tough perennial flower that may flourish in a wide range of climates as long as its roots are cool and wet. 

The flowers have layered and ruffled petals, with a variety of hues including orange, red, pink, purple, yellow, and white.

In hot climates, the tubers may be left behind in the ground during the cold weather, whereas in chilly areas, they must be stored indoors after digging up throughout the winter.

2. Poppy also called Papaver somniferum

The opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), a member of the Papaveraceae family that is native to Turkey, contains milky latex. All varieties of opiates, including codeine and heroin, are produced in opium production. It is a shrub that produces tiny nonnarcotic ripe seeds, which are kidney-shaped and grayish blue to dark blue; the seeds are used in bakery goods, as well as for flavoring, cooking oil, and birdseed (see poppy seed). 

Because the life cycle of a perennial poppy flower is so short, it is considered to be a short-lived perennial.

They come in a range of colors, including yellow, orange, pink, and red.

Poppies are beautiful flowers that add beauty to the garden and grow best in full sunlight.

3. Chrysanthemums

The Chrysanthemum, also known as the mum, is one of the world’s most popular flowers. It has hundreds of types and a wide range of hues, including yellow, pink, white, red, purple, and orange.

Asian begonia plants have beautiful pink and white flowers with a scent similar to vanilla. They produce bright red leaves that are medium-sized and upright. They prefer full sunshine and can reach 1 to 3 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide when fully grown.

Chrysanthemums bloom from late summer to early fall and maybe pruned back after blooming to keep them looking neat.

4. Daylily: Hemerocallis spp.

Daylilies are beautiful bright flowers in hues of red, orange, yellow and pink that are hardy perennials.

The flowers only last one day, then die, but each flower stem has a dozen or so blossom buds, so you’ll have blooms for a few weeks.

In full sun, however, they are suited to hot climates. They do require some shade during the afternoon in hot regions.

5. Dahlia a member of the Compositae

Dahlias are lovely blooms that come in a variety of forms and colors. They blossom throughout the late summer and fall, with pink, orange, purple, red, or yellow being the most popular hues.

Dahlias are perennial flowers that may be grown from seeds or tubers and can reach 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 m) in height.

They thrive in direct light and require at least 6 hours of sunshine each day.

6. Sneezeweed also called Helenium autumnale

Sneezeweed, also called False Sunflower or Helenium, is a tough perennial with brilliant blooms that may be orange, yellow, or crimson.

It has thick, fleshy leaves and may grow as tall as 1 to 5 feet (30 to 150 cm). To safeguard against high winds, it may need to be staked.

Trim sneezeweed back to the ground level in the fall and continue cutting it back every three years to maintain its health.

7. Iris: Iris germanica

Bearded iris is a member of the Iridaceae family and has a long, white beard. This herbaceous, perennial plant comes from the Mediterranean basin and is thought to be the parent of many existing bearded iris cultivars. Plants in the genus Iris are hard to come by in the nursery industry. The Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris, maybe hint at the wide range of hues available in this category.

Irises are robust perennials that can grow up to 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) tall. They thrive in full sun exposure to part shade and blossom from early spring through the end of summer.

Irises may be divided when they have finished blooming if the old middle portion of the plant is removed and the fresher growth in the outer portions is planted.

8. Bird of Paradise also called Strelitzia reginae

The Bird of Paradise is a spectacularly unusual, beautiful, and tropical plant. You’ve probably seen a Plant of Paradise or vice versa if you’ve ever mistaken one for a bird or the other way around. Let’s take a closer look at this amazing natural wonder.

The Bird of Paradise is a tropical plant with bright pink flowers that resemble fluttering birds. The blooms can be any shade of yellow, orange, blue, or purple.

The Bird of Paradise shows the best growth in warm, sub-tropical regions, but it may also be maintained indoors in colder climes.

9. Rose as orange perennials

The rose, (genus Rosa), is a genus of 100 species of different perennial shrubs. Roses are native to the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. They are grown for their pretty flowers, which come in a wide range of hues, including white, yellow, pink, dark crimson, and maroon and they all have a pleasant fragrance.

In a flower garden, roses are always popular and come in a variety of beautiful orange perennials including bright orange perennials to pastel pink. The flowers of roses are fragrant. 

Rose bushes generally develop to a height of four to six feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) and must be trimmed back each year.

10. Lantana (Lantana camera) as orange perennials

Lantana plants have a vine-like spreading form from woody branches, making them ideal for hanging baskets or as ground covers in the garden. Lantana is known for its clusters of tiny, brightly colored blooms that may be yellow, orange, white, red, pink, blue, or purple. The colors almost seem to glow within the same cluster.

Lantana produces clusters of small blooms, some of which are very lovely. It can be grown as an annual or perennial and is beautiful in the garden or a pot.

If you grow trailing varieties of lantana in hanging baskets, they’ll last even longer. Lantana thrives in full light and requires well-draining soil.
