#1 Hibiscus Syriacus
The national flower of South Korea, known as mugunghwa, blooms throughout August and usually lasts a few weeks. These pretty South Korean flowers hold the colors of a gentle light pink on the large part of their petals with a spot of a darker pink in the center, creating an ombre effect. If you visit Korea in the summer, you know what to look for!
#2 Forsythia Koreana
A vivid yellow stands out in a field in the distance. What may this Korean flower be? It's so bright, and the shape is so intriguing. Forsythia Koreana, also known as the Korean golden bell tree, blooms in the year's colder months from around late January to March and usually lasts for a few weeks.
#3 Korean Pulsatilla
These native Korean flowers are truly fascinating! The shape looks like something out of a fantasy movie. Pulsatilla is a perennial herb and one of the Korean native flowers that can also be used as traditional herbal medicine.
#4 Corylopsis Korean
Maybe you know these Korean plants and flowers by their more popular name—winter hazel, a tree covered in pretty little blossoms fairly spread along its branches. The soft yellow that colors these flowers makes them seem perfectly calming, and if you find one, great for some Instagram photos. These Korean flowers are native to Asia and North America, so if you think you’ve seen one of these before, you might have!
#5 Cherry Blossoms
We're sure everyone knows this one. The famous cherry blossoms, with beautiful light pink petals, bloom in the spring and are displayed all over the country, along the streets, and in parks.
