More Information About Brown/Tan Flowering Plants
Our Favorite Brown Flowering Perennials
Baptisia 'Cinnamon Candles' - We love baptisias, and this PDN introduction is one of our favs. Starting in spring, spikes of bicolor gold and chocolate flowers emerge atop the foliage.
Carex divulsa - While you may not consider sedges flowering perennials, several species of carex produce tufts flowers that are tan or brown. They also make great host plants for a variety of pollinators.
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Foxtrot' - One of our favorite fountain grasses, Pennisetum 'Foxtrot', forms marvelous bluish-pink plumes that become tan as they age.
