I don't have any kalanchoes, but my cane begonias bloom year-round. I have a few rex begonias in the kitchen window, as well. They rarely bloom, but the leaves are so bright and cheery.

Thanks Barley. Bright and cheery is definitely a good thing. :-)
Nevermind about the kalanchoes. There's something posted about kalanchoes already that I didn't see before.

No problem. Have you also considered something like a spider plant?

Certain varieties of begonias can be profuse bloomers. I have an Angel Wing begonia that has been going absolutely bananas for months now. In fact, I don't know how to make it stop blooming.

Those are all good suggestions. Jasmine is another plant that flowers steadily for me throughout the year. Another thought is to grow a variety of plants to stagger bloom times.

I appreciate all your suggestions. I'll start looking up plant care information for them and then I'll take a trip to the local nursery.
Thanks!
Thanks!

i got my cyclamen to bloom for 2 years straight, before i went out of town and it didn't get watered...
also my pelargoniums have been blooming very nicely this winter.
Keep in mind most plants are not designed to bloom all the time. It takes a lot of energy and many times plants indoors do not have the ideal growing conditions.

I overwintered portulaca inside and it's bloomed everytime it's gotten enough water. It does get leggy though.

Consider growing Impatiens year round! Take a few cuttings in the fall and grow them during the winter inside in a South or west window! I do!

Search The Garden Helper:
Are there any other plants, besides African Violets and peace lillies, that will bloom well all year?
I keep seeing kalanchoes. Is anyone familiar with those?
