New Yorkers, if you’re looking for some pretty native flowers to add to your garden—or to start up a brand new one—here are some options you may want to consider.

The Eastern Red Columbine, also known as the Wild Columbine, is a lovely tubular flower that looks both exotic as well as elegant, with a red exterior and yellow interior. These flowers tend to droop down, engulfing visitors in what may seem like a wondrous rainforest or other ethereal realm. The bright trumpet creeper is another favorite bright red to orange flower, which will climb up any trellis or pergola to create a lovely entryway.

For those with darker tastes, the common pawpaw, otherwise known as the Indiana banana, may be suitable. The flowers have deep veined, purple petals that are dark as midnight, arranged in alternating petals that captivate the senses.

Orange milkweed, also known as butterfly weed, is another popular choice, with its bright orange clusters. From afar, the plant seems as if it is covered in stunning, tiny orange stars. People with softer tastes might want the American bellflower in their gardens. These baby blue flowers gently glide up tall stalks, alternating in five-petal, starred shapes.
