Ornamental Plants, Trees & Flowers

What are ornamental plants?

Beautiful exotic and classic flowers and plants for indoors and outdoors. In our ornamental plants and flowers category you will find all the flowers intended to decorate indoor and outdoor spaces.
Ornamental plants are usually grown for their gorgeous, colourful flowers. Often, however, every part of the plant is attractive and can be used decoratively, including its stems and beautiful leaves.

Ornamental plants are plants grown for decoration in gardens and interiors, for cut flowers in bouquets and to brighten up our living rooms.

What types of ornamental plants are there?

Ornamental plants are divided into indoor, outdoor and garden plants. This division is not only about location: it depends mainly on the plants’ needs for light, humidity, air and temperature. Ornamental plants include all kinds of plants, such as cacti, climbers, shrubs, perennials and annuals, ornamental trees, bulbs and more – for example gladioli, coleus and carnations.

What are indoor ornamental plants?

The most popular indoor ornamental plants are: gardenia, coleus, poinsettia, chrysanthemums, lavender, rosemary, pothos, ferns and spider plants – while a plant that has recently earned its place among indoor ornamentals is ivy. Many people don’t realise that ivy can easily decorate your living room wall, and it is now a popular décor feature in many cafés.

What are outdoor ornamental plants?

When it comes to outdoor ornamental plants, there is no fixed list: all plants come from nature, so any of them can be grown as ornamentals if they have something special, such as beautiful flowers, foliage, colour or stems. With these plants we can design our garden and create a fairy-tale setting on the balcony and in the yard. Depending on what we want, we can choose the right plants – from abundantly flowering blooms to fragrant, good-looking herbs and trees with gorgeous foliage colour.

All of them will need the right care once planted, but anything is possible, especially in a climate like Greece’s.
