Ornamental: A plant grown primarily for its aesthetic qualities, such as flowers, foliage, or form.
Ornamental plants are like the decorations in your garden. They’re the showstoppers, adding color, texture, and visual interest to the landscape. While some ornamental plants might also have edible or other practical uses, their primary purpose is to be beautiful. We choose them for their stunning flowers, interesting foliage, or unique shapes and forms.
Ornamental plants can transform a garden into a living work of art. They can create focal points, add pops of color, or provide a backdrop for other plants. The possibilities are endless, from flowering shrubs and colorful annuals to majestic trees and graceful vines. Choosing the right ornamental plants for your garden depends on your personal preferences, the style of your garden, and the growing conditions in your area.
