Jasmine likes summer, and its flowering period is also concentrated in summer. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, it can bloom all the time, as if it is tireless. It is more afraid of cold, and it cannot stand the temperature below 10 degrees in winter in the north, so it is basically kept in the summer in the north.

Jasmine likes light and needs more sun. Water it thoroughly as soon as the soil is dry. The flowering period of jasmine is only 3-5 days at a time, and the flowers end when they turn yellow. Prune them quickly, and keep the green branches to the length of 1-2 pairs of leaves. Water it with Huaduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and it will bloom again soon.

When it comes to heat and sun resistance, Trumpet Creeper is definitely a strong player, but it is also destructive. If its roots are too deep and too far, it will destroy the planting environment around the house and affect the growth of other plants. In serious cases, it can even damage the walls and create a safety hazard, so everyone should be careful when growing it.

Recently, some flower lovers asked me about the pink trumpet creeper variety. This variety is native to Africa, does not climb, and does not grow tall. It is usually grown in potted plants and is not cold-resistant, so it cannot be planted in the ground in central and northern China.

In the hot summer, planting some impatiens is the most appropriate. The green leaves and red flowers look very energetic. Impatiens is an annual herb, which is sown in spring from February to March. It sprouts quickly and will bloom in about 100 days.

When I was a child, I could see Impatiens everywhere in front of and behind the house in the summer. Its flowers could be used to dye nails. Rural children should have played with it. When I grew up, I could only reminisce about it. Plant a few if I had the chance. Impatiens is suitable for planting in an environment with scattered light and moist soil, and can also be planted in pots.

Let me tell you here that the African Impatiens is different from our native Impatiens. It is a perennial, with a longer flowering period from June to October, and many varieties of flowers, including very fairy double-petaled varieties, like small camellia, which is more suitable for gardening.

In the hot summer, admiring a canna can always bring a touch of coolness. Canna in the north blooms from June to October, while in the south it can bloom all year round, giving it the temperament of a tropical rain forest.

Canna is a perennial and is suitable for planting in a diffuse light and humid environment. The soil should not be too hard or too poor. It is better to be loose and moist. It is green all year round in the south, but will wither in winter in the central and northern regions.

The common name of sunflower means immortal. It can bloom even in the hottest and sunniest places in summer, and the more it is exposed to the sun, the more flower buds it produces. It can be called the "cockroach" of the plant world. It will survive if you pinch the roots and stick them in the soil. The flowering period is from April to October, and it can bloom all year round in the south.

Some flower lovers say that it is difficult to grow sunflowers. It may be due to insufficient light, too long and aging branches. You can move them to a sunny place, pinch the branches and re-graft them, and they will bloom soon. When there is insufficient light, water less to avoid excessive growth.

Coreopsis

In summer, many parks and scenic spots use coreopsis to create flower fields. This herbaceous chrysanthemum grows very fast and can grow into a whole piece in 2-3 months (the seedlings can be planted 20-30 cm apart) and can bloom at temperatures above 16 degrees.

Coreopsis is not prone to insects and is very easy to grow. As long as there is a little sunlight, flower buds will appear. It can also be grown on a windowsill with short daylight. If pollinated by natural wind and insects, it can also produce seeds. It can be grown in a normal pot for 1-2 years and propagated by sowing in spring and autumn.

There are 6 colors of miniature coreopsis, which are very colorful when grown together. They bloom all year round and can be grown on small windowsills. I keep all the flowers for myself. Click on the picture below to buy them:

The temperature in the south is now over 35 degrees, but it has not stopped the blue snow flower from climbing the wall.

The blue snow flower blooms as soon as the weather gets hot, and the flowering period lasts up to 10 months. If the winter is not cold (not lower than 16 degrees), it will continue to bloom. The wintering temperature should not be lower than 0 degrees. It can be potted in the north, cut it in winter and put it indoors, and it will bloom again in the second year.
