Roses are a decorative plant that have are relatively beautiful, and need to be replanted occasionally. They can be grown indoors, simply using the light from a torch or standing lamp.
Acquisition
Roses can be sown by Growers in plant pots or in Growing zone. Sowing requires Expression error: Unexpected < operator. of work.
Analysis
Roses are a quick and cheap way to increase a room's beauty, and therefore, impressiveness. A plant pot is unnecessary; simply keeping a section, or even all, of the floor as dirt saves on having to build a pot in the first place.
In essence, they are a way to turn work time into positive moodlets, before you can build sculptures for a more permanent mood increase. Roses take need to be resown less often, meaning they take less work to maintain than daylilies. However, daylilies have a higher beauty, and give more beauty per time spent sowing. Roses are better than daylilies if you have to plant flowers in multiple separate areas, as the time spent traveling to each area quickly outstrips the extra work spent sowing new flowers.
Planting flowers can have a large impact and significantly improve room impressiveness. Planting in a dual-use dining and rec room can provide larger mood bonuses from both room roles, in addition to mood from a full beauty need.
Later on, you will want to switch to sculptures, as they don't require constant maintenance, can be placed on regular floor, and are significantly better at filling the beauty need. Sculptures increase wealth but this amount is trivial outside of 500% difficulties - see Wealth for a more detailed analysis. Sculptures also unlock the "Viewing Art" solitary recreation activity, however the effect of this is usually minor.

Daylilies are a decorative plant that have relatively high beauty, but need to be replanted often. They can be grown indoors, simply using the light from a torch or standing lamp.
Acquisition
Daylilies can be sown by Growers in plant pots or in Growing zone. Sowing requires Expression error: Unexpected < operator. of work.
Analysis
Daylilies are a quick and cheap way to increase a room's beauty, and therefore, impressiveness. A plant pot is unnecessary; simply keeping a section, or even all, of the floor as dirt saves on having to build a pot in the first place.
In essence, they are a way to turn work time into positive moodlets, before you can build sculptures for a more permanent mood increase. Daylilies take more work to maintain than roses. However, daylilies have a higher beauty. With a higher beauty per time sowing, they are better if you are growing multiple flowers in a single, centralized area. (Roses would be better if you have to plant flowers in separate areas, as they reduce walking time).
As shown in the picture, planting daylilies can have a large impact. With this example, colonists will gain a net +10 mood from the room bonuses alone - +5 each for the room as a dining room and as a rec room, in addition to mood from a full beauty need. Filth would quickly lower this room back down to Somewhat impressive. But the simple addition of 3 dining chairs will bring this room up to 94 Impressiveness, which is enough to prevent small specks of filth from lowering it further.
Later on, you will want to switch to sculptures, as they don't require constant maintenance, can be placed on regular floor, and are significantly better at filling the beauty need. Sculptures increase wealth but this amount is trivial outside of 500% difficulties - see Wealth for a more detailed analysis. Sculptures also unlock the "Viewing Art" solitary recreation activity, however the effect of this is usually minor.
