Here are some big blooms that will stand out in your garden
Sunflower
Sunflowers are big, beautiful, old-fashioned blooms that fit into every garden. They give off that English-cottage feel. These sunny, showy yellow flowers with brown, seedy centres are the essential flowers to make a show in your garden. Classic sunflower blooms can grow to be taller than most toddlers if grown the right way.

Hibiscus
When you think tropical, big, showy plants, think hibiscus. These colourful, big flowers with prominent stamens can be large and come in different shades. While most petals are generally one colour, they’re often studded with a contrasting centre that looks like an eye.
Angel’s trumpet
A showstopping shrub that transforms your garden space into a tropical getaway. Angel’s trumpet boasts huge, pendulous blooms with a pleasant fragrance. The big flowers of this plant can come in pink, orange, and the occasional purple, depending on the variety grown. They are low-maintenance shrubs perfect for beginner gardeners.

Lily
Lily flowers are known for their sweet fragrance, spear-shaped petals, and a bold and bright centre. The star gazer lily flower is one of the more popular lily varieties, with speckled magenta trumpets edged in white. The bulbs of the lily flowers can be over an inch wide, depending on the variety.
Lotus flowers
The lotus flower is a staple for any water garden with water features and ponds. The blooms of this delicate flower can grow and stand tall in your ponds in the garden. When they open, the petals will reveal a crown of golden stamens that gradually gives way to a large ornamental seed-head. These flowers are also favourites of many wildlife animals.
