If you prefer to plant regular garden plants, then you still can make it a bit more exciting - just choose rare varieties!
Lots of them have unusual sizes, colors, or tastes, so it's always fun to experiment with them.
Let's look at a few examples of regular plants that might surprise you.
Rainbow Roses
These roses have petals in various colors, like a rainbow.
It's done by splitting the stem into several parts and dipping each part in different-colored dyes, so the rose grows with multicolored petals.
Black Tomatoes
Instead of the usual red, these tomatoes are dark purple or almost black. They taste similar to regular tomatoes but have a distinctive look.
Dwarf Sunflowers
While sunflowers are typically tall, these are much shorter, like mini sunflowers. They're great for smaller gardens or as potted plants.
Blue Hydrangeas

Chocolate Mint
This mint plant smells and tastes like chocolate and mint combined. It's perfect for making chocolate-flavored drinks or desserts.
