Pictures of Blue Flowers That You Could Grow In Your Garden

If you are viewing this page for the beauty of the floral photography, then I hope you'll enjoy the pictures. 

If you are searching for something unique (and blue!) to grow in the landscape, please realize that I've given some information about each type of flower, but more homework may need to be done.  I have not listed which climate zones these flowers grow well in, and some plants need certain types of soil to do well.  It would be best to dig deeper before spending money on a plant that won't like your yard.  Of course, if you are an avid gardener, you already know all that!

• The blue cornflower is an annual (plant grows for one season then dies). 
• Plant seeds in early spring for summer blooms.  Or, if you live in a warm climate, plant in fall.
• They will need full sun and are drought tolerant.
• Tall varieties may need to be staked to be held upright and dead-heading old blooms will keep this plant blooming longer.

• Personally I know nothing about growing sea holly, but after some research I've found that it is a perennial plant. 
• It is hardy and easy to grow and some species can grow to be up to two feet high.  Plant it in a sunny spot with well drained soil. 
• The roots go deep into the earth, which makes it difficult to transplant, so be sure of it's location and plan on leaving it there.
• The spiky look to the sea holly flowers will add interest to any garden and it blooms in mid-summer.

The little forget-me-not flower is a bright, light blue and blooms in spring.

The myosotis alpestris variety is the official state flower of Alaska.

They prefer to grow in moist soil in partial sun and because they are perennial, they will come back each year.

Look at the lovely border alongside the tulips in the photo above. 

They will grow from seeds.  I planted some last year, but they never grew too large.  I hope to see new plants sprout up this spring.

Although I have never seen one in person, a blue rose can be grown.  I don't know that a deep blue like in the picture is a reality, because of the ability to manipulate photos.  One of the tags for the image above, which came from Pixabay, is "burgundy" which leads me to believe that it was dark red to begin with.

The image is beautiful, but possibly not attainable in reality.  The Gurneys Seed Company sells a  Blue Girl Hybrid Tea rose bush which is light blue in color.

Pixabay.com is the place where I found most of these photos.  They invite excellent photographers to join and upload photos to the site.  If you are interested, click any of the links I have on this page and look around.  I get nothing for sending you there, but I think you will be impressed by the talent displayed, and it's not all flowers!  And all the images are offered to use for free.

I hope this page has brightened your day and best of luck growing your own blue flowers.
