10 Prettiest, Easy-to-Grow, White Flowers for Your Garden

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for white flowers. Not only do they symbolise innocence and new beginnings, they also come in subtle shades of the silkiest whites. Many of them are touched with awesome sprinkles of lilacs, pinks and golds, creating a cool richness not present in any other colour.

Because they have no bright shades to attract bees and other insects, white flowers on the whole tend to have delicious smells. They stand resplendent in your garden in the spring and summer, livening up your surroundings especially in the late evenings and way into the warm nights. How wonderful it is to go outside and be greeted every morning with the fresh, heavenly smell of white flowers blooming.

This article is inspired by my friend’s blog where she has photographed a superb array of flowers.

These tiny, sweet-smelling flowers are the some of the first to come out in my garden every spring. If you’re buying them, you only need a couple of plants, as before you know it they would’ve colonised their surroundings.  They’re wonderful for planting under trees because they enjoy relaxing in the shade. For me, they’re on this list because they herald in the warmer weather, add bright glory to the garden with their lovely bell-like flowers, and encourage me to go out after an extended period indoors during the winter. Lily of the Valley also provide food for the early insects and moths, another reason to add these easy-going white gems to your garden.
