Wildlife and biodiversity gardening are expected to be a big trend this year as people are realizing the importance of native wildlife and pollinators. That’s why Purple Coneflowers top the list of the most beloved flower picks this year. Tammy Sons, horticulturist and CEO of TN Nursery, says that birds such as Gold Finches are attracted to them primarily due to their seeds, and butterflies flock to them because they are pollen-rich

This flower is long-blooming and reproduces seeds in the pods at the center of the blooms. “One plant will drop its conehead seeds and produce 3 to 4 more plants the following season,” says Sons. “This makes them a favorite for many gardeners who have wanted a perennial with a self-seeding capability for many years.

Sons also says that Trumpet Vines are another long-blooming vining perennial that hummingbirds adore due to their “witches’ finger” blooms because they perfectly fit their long beaks.

“Their nectar-rich nature and vibrant orange color make them a great vining choice for anyone looking for a low-maintenance pollinator favorite that will vine across anything you plant near,” she informs.

Lotte Berendsen, certified gardening expert for the app PlantIn, says that growing and sustaining a beautiful garden is all about creativity and adding personality to your space. “We’re seeing more unique color palettes, bold accents, and color gradients in gardens this year. When talking about a flower with personality, Sweet Pea is one that immediately comes to mind,” she says. 

“With bold colors like purple, blue, or pink, and eye-catching gradients, it is the perfect flower to show personality and style in your garden.”

Sons recommends adding this gorgeous flower to your garden this year. This beauty has striking deep red blooms, and it is a favorite of hummingbirds and monarchs. “Its blood-red blooms and tubular shape make it a major nectar source for pollinators that prefer deep flowers,” she says.

It grows best near areas of moisture because the plant thrives in wet areas near water features or yard ponds.

Berendsen says they have been seeing a big shift from organized, clean, and structured gardens to more free-growing and chaotic garden layouts. “Gardeners are embracing plants‘ natural growth patterns, putting down the pruning shears, and simply letting their garden flowers grow according to their natural growth habit,” she explains.

That is why the Foxglove made the pick of trending flowers this year. It features beautiful tubular, bell-shaped blooms in colors of purple, white, pink, yellow, red, and orange.  She informs that this plant can reach up to 6 to 7 feet high. However, you should skip this breathtaking beauty if you have pets because it is toxic. 

Daylilies  (Hemerocallis)

Berendsen says that Daylily flowers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and they have every reason to believe that this trend will continue to grow in 2025. “This year, we expect to see a bigger focus on sustainability, which means that we’ll be growing more perennials, rather than annual edible flowers,” she informs. 

“If you’re looking for the perfect edible perennial flower, Daylilies might be the perfect pick for your garden.” Although this flower may be safe to eat for some, you should never eat anything you aren’t sure if you are allergic to or not, as it can cause health risks. Always research any plant before eating it. 

Butterfly Weed (Asclepias Tuberosa)

Butterfly Weed is a type of milkweed and is a prime pick for those wanting to attract all sorts of pollinators to their gardens. This plant is not only a favorite for butterflies, but also beloved by bees, hummingbirds, and moths.  Sons says that the orange-blooming blossoms that are rich in nectar make it a favorite.  “It’s super popular with most gardeners, pollinator fans, and conservationists because of its striking appearance, low maintenance, and environmental benefits,” she informs. 

Add these flowers to your yard this year to brighten up your outdoor living space and help your friendly feathered friends and pollinators.
