Kalanchoe are a tropical, succulent that are available in many varieties. They are generally easy to care for and come in a wide array of flowering colours such as white, yellow, magenta, pink or orange. Kalanchoe do not like direct hot sun, so make sure to place them where they will get afternoon shade.

Cyclamen

Another perennial flowering plant, Cyclamen are beautiful flowering plants. These flowers grow with upward petals, and the leaves have unique patterns. Cyclamen are a bit more needy, so make sure to talk to your florist about proper care.

African Violets

These flowering plants do require more care, but provide a beautiful and elegant look with their frilly flowers. If you decide to add these plants to your flowering bed, make sure you properly water them and avoid giving them direct sunlight.
