Selection of plants without flowers for garden

Fern leaves

Plants can be classified in many ways, but one of the simplest ways is how they multiply, or more specifically, whether they have flowers or not. Although the vast majority of them produce beautiful and delicate petals that attract pollinating insects, there are some that have evolved somewhat differently, creating a new generation that sprouts from spores or seeds that can take several months to to mature.

Plants without flowers are ideal for filling in those gaps that have been left empty in the garden, since they give green and are also very decorative. Here you have a small selection.

Aspidistra

Aspidistra in the garden

The Aspidistra It is a perennial herbaceous plant that is characterized by having a multitude of long leaves of up to 40cm and wide green in color. Although it has flowers, these are insignificant and often go unnoticed. They are bluish, purplish or ivory in color and appear level with the ground.

Resists cold down to -5ºC.

Cycas revoluta

Cycas revoluta specimens

La Cycas revoluta, known as the cica or Sago palm (a name that can lead to confusion, as it is not related to the palms), is one of the most cultivated shrubs in temperate regions. It grows to a height of 2 meters, with a thin trunk of up to 30cm surmounted by dark green pinnate leaves..

Resists cold down to -11ºC.

Chlorophytum comosum

Tape plant

La tape It is one of the plants that is most cultivated, especially indoors. It is characterized by having very thin leaves about 2cm wide, green or with a whitish central stripe, up to 30cm long.. It produces small white flowers, but being its flowering season very short, and being so decorative, we could not fail to include it on the list. In addition, it is suitable for beginners.

Resists cold down to -3ºC.

conifers

stone pine

All the conifers are arboreal and shrubby plants that do not have flowers. There are many examples: pines, yews, cypresses, ... all of them can decorate any garden. Many species provide good shade, as is the case for example with pines, and there are others that can be used to divide the different sections of the place, such as the dwarf conifers that we recommend in this article.

They resist well the cold and frosts of -7ºC on average.
