Flowers That Start With H

Here’s a list of flower names that begin with the letter H. With an emphasis on common and easy to grow varieties:

Hardy Hibiscus

Hardy hibiscus thrives in warmer temperatures. Cold springs or summers will slow down the growth of the plant. But, in the right conditions, the plant blooms beautiful white flowers with a red center. The hardy hibiscus attracts butterflies and is pretty easy to grow despite being a slow grower.

Heather

The English common names heath and heather are shared by some closely related genera of similar appearance. Heather flowers are purple and grow in small clusters.

Nandina domestica commonly known as nandina, heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo, is a species of flowering plant native to eastern Asia from the Himalayas to Japan.

Fun fact, fungus overwinters on the few green leaves remaining at the base of hollyhocks and perennial mallows, and may also survive within the crown of the plant. Hollyhocks come in a wide variety of colors: blue, pink, purple, red, white, yellow, and even black. The most common hollyhock has red flowers.
