Trees

• The black locust tree has bunches of some of the most fragrant tiny, irregular, cream or off-white blooms. Peonies, which are a type of shrub, can grow to 4 or 5 feet tall. With large, cup-shaped, off-white petals, the Jade Seal of State is a lovely example.
  
  The American elderberry was prized by Native Americans for the dye that comes from their purple berries. Before the berries, however, come lovely, raised flower bunches of tiny, creamy flowers.
  
  

Bulbs

• Tulips, a common spring-flowering bulb, come in several species with off-white blooms, including the Double Montrieux and Inzell. Spring-flowering daffodils also come in a variety of off-white shades, such as the popular Narcissus Geranium and Ice Follies. A pretty midseason bloomer is the Vanilla Dessert daylily.
  
  For a summer- and fall-blooming off-white flower, the Oriental lily Casa Blanca provides fragrant ivory blooms.
  
  

Perennials

• Perennial flowers, which will return to your garden every year with proper care and tending, are a perfect way to show off favorite ivory blossoms. The plume poppy, Macleaya cordata, has pretty gray-green foliage to offset its off-white petals. Hellebore, a garden staple also known as the Lenten rose, produces little bells in several colors, including cream.
  
  

Annuals

• The marigold is an annual favorite, popping up in the garden in the heat of summer when many perennials have faded away. An African variety called French Vanilla produces large, creamy blooms that resemble a lion's head offset by deep green foliage.
  
  Nasturtium, or Indian cress, provides an edible variety called Peach Melba. It can appear as dark as peachy pink salmon, but is typically cream-colored with darker accents and is beautiful in a garden or on a salad when grown organically.
  
  

Climbers and Vines

• Climbing roses, with glorious canes of glossy leaves and brilliant blooms, come in many varieties of ivory. Rosas Bobbie James and Pierre de Ronsard are excellent examples.
  
  Clematis henryi vines provide delicate, lovely blooms up to 8 inches across. Martha Stewart suggests pairing this clematis with a dogwood, like the ivory bloomer Redosier, for a complementary partnership.
