The Best Flowers to Plant in Idaho: 20 Flowers for a Gorgeous Bloom

3. Blanket Flower

With their varied yellow, orange, or red blossoms with distinct middles, blanket flowers offer flamboyant color to the scenery. They may grow in dry soil but thrive in full sunlight and organically rich soil. 

Blanket flowers bloom from the beginning of summer through the fall, reaching heights of two to three feet with an expanse of two feet. Zones three through 10 on the USDA plant hardiness chart are suitable for blanket flowers.

4. Tulips

One may argue that the tulip is perhaps the most exquisite flower that grows in Idaho. It is available in a wide range of colors, including white, black, violet, red, golden, blue, and more! Only specific types of soil and sunlight are favorable for some blooms. 

They can be grown on raised flower beds, window boxes, and pots. Usually, tulips can withstand the sometimes dangerous cold winters. Late spring frosts and protracted periods of extremely cold springs are what could hurt or even destroy your tulips.

5. Potentilla

This perennial, sometimes known as cinquefoil, does best in complete to partial sunlight in USDA plant hardiness zones four through eight. It has a 12-inch spread and can grow about six inches tall. 

Grow potentillas in well-draining sandy or clay-like soil. Its vibrant yellow blossoms make any space happier.
