Creating compositions on their windowsills and in mini-gardens, flower growers select plants with flowers of a certain color. As a rule, to give the room a romantic, delicate atmosphere, indoor flowers with blue flowers are planted. There are a great many such plants: for example, lisianthus, streptocarpus, uzambara violet, solia, lead and many others. All of them have pale blue flowers and are perfectly combined with plants of a cream or yellow hue.
In this article, we will tell you which blue flowers take root best at home and give you recommendations for caring for them. You can also see below photos of blue flowers and read their description.
Blue lisianthus flowers
Lisianthus (LISIANTHUS) has blue poppy flowers arranged in groups. There are double and non-double varieties in purple, mauve and white. These are straight bushy perennials, but in the nursery they are treated with a retardant – a growth retardant for indoor plants. Lisianthuses are difficult to keep in a room for more than one season.
There is only one type on sale – with a name on the label or lisianthus russell (Lisianthus russelianus)or eustoma large-flowered (Eustoma grandiflorum)… Compact varieties are offered 30-45 cm tall, rather than tall species.
Temperature: Moderate. Store in a cool place during the winter.
Shine: Brightly lit areas – Some sun exposure is helpful.
Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry moderately.
Air humidity: Spray the foliage frequently.
Post-flowering care: Plants usually do not retain. Reproduction: Sowing seeds in spring or dividing plants in autumn.
What are the most popular blue flowers: streptocarpus
Streptocarpus (STREPTOCARPUS) has many hybrids, but the old Constant Nymph is still the most popular streptocarpus. A blue flower appears over a rosette of large leaves with an enviable frequency – this plant blooms throughout the summer.

Reproduction: Division of plants during transplantation. The seeds can be sown in spring.
Blue flower uzambara violet
Uzambara violet or Saintia (SAINTPAULIA) blooms very profusely. The main advantage of this indoor flower with blue flowers is its compact size and the ability to produce several waves of flowering every year. Plants need stable heat, proper watering, good lighting, high humidity and regular feeding. Remove wilted flowers and leaves immediately.
