- Cleome (Spider Flower)
Spider flower is an annual plant that can reach a height of around 1 meter. It originates from South America and belongs to the Cleomaceae family. This flower got this exotic name because of the look of the big bloom with long stamens which resemble spider legs. It is perfect for the summer period because it blooms from June to September. The flowers have a mild smell of musk. But, what is probably the most interesting part is that Spider Flowers come in three beautiful colors – pink, white and purple. These colors can be a beautiful addition for any landscaping project. New flowers are constantly appearing at the top while the lower flowers are dried.
- Cyperus
Those who love the green color and want to improve of their lawn by adding some plants in a similar color should definitely check Cyperus. This plant is known all over the world and since it comes from the wetlands, this plant enjoys water. The only condition for this plant to survive and prosper is to have constantly wet roots. Although it is green, you can sometimes notice small brown spiky flowers which make its appearance even more interesting because it emphasizes the green color.
- Euphorbia
This plant has its origins in Madagascar but it can be easily grown almost anywhere because it is very resistant to any type of weather. It blooms from early spring to late summer. It comes in red or yellow color so those who are looking for more vivid look for their landscape will be satisfied with the results.
