The Best Flowers for People with Allergies
Begonias
Begonias are a great choice if you live in an area that is shady instead of sunny. They come in bright reds, pinks, and white, and can have deep green to red foliage. Begonias are hardy and easy to grow, giving you color all season long.
Cactus
If you live in a more dry climate or aren’t good about watering your plants often, you may wish to try growing cactus. Cactus can still be quite colorful, offer a variety of shapes and sizes, and some even have blooms on them. Plus, they rarely need to be watered.
Clematis
If you want something that will climb or decorate a trellis, try clematis. It is a quick growing and climbing flower that is sure to offer tons of color. You can find clematis in a variety of shades as well.
Bulb varieties
Bulb varieties such as tulips, crocus and daffodil are great for allergy sufferers. They are easy to plant and grow, and they are perennials so they will return year after year. They offer bright spring color, lovely scents, and can put on quite a show.
Geraniums and Petunias
Geraniums as well as petunias offer tons of color all season and are great for flower pots and hanging baskets. They come in red, white, purple and pink and are easy to find at your local gardening center. Geraniums and petunias bloom in waves, giving you lots of color and action.
Hostas
Great for flower beds and borders, hostas often have light purple and white blooms that rise from their pale green foliage. Also a perennial plant, you can plant these and allow them to come back and do their thing year after year.
Hydrangea
Don’t forget about hydrangeas! These are available in a whole rainbow of colors. They look lovely cut in a vase or can even be dried out and used in crafts.
Don’t let allergies allow you to miss out on the growing and gardening season. Give these flowers a try and enjoy all of the season without all of the sneezing.
