Bring the Outdoors In
Wildflowers are almost too pretty to pick. If you’ve ever gone hiking, you’ve likely spotted them brightening up the trail in a wide array of colors and styles! Some people push past the discomfort and pluck them right from the ground, while others opt to plant a fresh bush outside. However you get them into your home, these are the best options for any gardener.
1. Purple Coneflower
Don’t let its name fool you—this popular wildflower looks more like a daisy than anything else, its bold magenta petals livening up any space in your home. The best part about them is that you don’t need a green thumb to care for them either; neutral soil and a sunny spot are best.
2. Shasta Daisies
When you think of wildflowers, Shasta daisies are probably the first things that come to mind! They’re simple, they’re beautiful, and they don’t need more than sun and moderately fertile soil. Forget about picking them, too; you could easily plant these in your own backyard.

3. Marigolds
Marigolds look like sunsets in a flower, so naturally, they’ll need a lot of it to thrive. So long as you stick them in the right spot, these beauties can brighten any room in your house, offering pops of yellow and orange for a pinch of cheer.
4. Bluebells
Bluebells are sort of like the weeping willows of wildflowers. Sure, they droop, and sure, they might look a little gloomy, but this stunner is actually one of the best ways to get a pop of purple elegance into your home. They come in a few varieties as well, so make sure you know what you’re in for!
5. Corn Poppies
Who doesn’t love the pop of red in a traditional poppy? What’s amazing about these ones is that you still get the color, only corn poppies can come with a subtle white trim. They can also blossom into a full-blown fire, needing full sunlight to thrive.
