This is a comparatively small group of plants that are grown solely for their beautiful, showy flowering. Among flowering houseplants there are shrubs, subshrubs, herbaceous plants, and bulbous plants. Among them one can single out specimens with seasonal flowering. Some of these plants bloom in winter (azaleas, hyacinths, camellias, poinsettias, cyclamens), while another group consists of plants that flower in spring and summer (pelargoniums, sinningias, achimenes, bellflowers). At other times these plants are not as striking. Many evergreen houseplants flower at various times, once or twice, or year-round.
