List of Brown Flowering Plants

    PawPaw

    • Pawpaw, often called the Indiana banana, is a tree native to the eastern United States, according to Purdue University. The small brown velvety looking flowers appear on bare branches around mid-April. A variety of flies pollinate the flowers, which smell like rotting carrion. The caterpillar of the Eurytides marcellus, or Zebra swallowtail, and the moth Dolba hyloeus, called the Pawpaw Sphinx, eat the leaves of this plant.

    Wild Ginger

    • The brownish-red or purple flowers grow at ground level underneath the foliage of both Asarum and Hexastylis species. These plants, commonly called wild ginger, are native to the woodland areas of Asia and North America, according to Clemson University Cooperative Extension. Once established, wild ginger is a rapid grower that quickly covers an area, making it an excellent ground cover plant.

      Chrysanthemums, or mums as they are commonly called, produce flowers in a variety of colors, including numerous shades of brown, from light to dark. The flowers bloom from early fall until a hard freeze kills them, according to Clemson University Cooperative Extension. Plant mums directly in the garden or in a container in spring or fall in fertile, organic soil.

      Calla or arum lilies come in many varieties and flower colors, including brown. The showy spaths, or flowers, which remain in bloom for over a month, are quite popular as cut flowers, according to the University of Florida Miami-Dade Extension. If the flowers were pollinated, then once they fade berries will form to turn into seed. Calla lilies are excellent container plants, especially some of the dwarf varieties.
