• There is a wide variety of flowering houseplants, but those with blue or blue-violet blooms are a little less common.

Some of these are grown more often than others, but all of the varieties can be grown inside, either in containers or hanging baskets.

Hydrangeas

• Hydrangeas, which come in a range of blues and blue-violet colors, can also be grown successfully indoors. There are ever-blooming varieties available, and hydrangeas can be easily transplanted outdoors as they become larger.
  
  

Hibiscus
