2. Jasmine

Extreme temperature: 40 degrees

It is said that "jasmine can't be killed by the sun". Jasmine grows most vigorously in summer. Buds can appear above 20 degrees and the fastest flowering speed is above 30 degrees. The fragrance of the flower becomes stronger with more exposure to the sun. Growing a pot of it can fill the house with fragrance.

Maintenance focus:

Jasmine is not afraid of heat or sun. It blooms quickly and falls quickly. You should cut the flowers off immediately after they fall. Cut off the two pairs of leaves on the top of the branch. This will save nutrients and stimulate the jasmine to bloom again. It can bloom 3-5 times a year. Don't forget it.

If you like hydrangeas but your home is very sunny in the summer, you can grow a pot of blue snow flowers. It can be grown as a potted plant or as a climbing vine. The more sun it gets, the more dreamy the blue will be. It looks cool and refreshing in the summer and can climb up the wall in 2 months.

The Blue Snow Waterfall in the picture below is a seedling planted by a flower lover in Jiangxi three years ago. The coldest temperature in winter is minus 9 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature in summer is around 40 degrees Celsius. Except for burying some chicken manure fertilizer in the spring, it basically relies on the weather for its survival.

Maintenance focus:

Blue snow flower likes acid, and acidic leaf mold or coconut coir soil is suitable for potting. It requires a lot of water for flowering, so it needs to be watered every 1-2 days. Appropriate fertilizer should be applied before and after flowering. Phosphorus-based fertilizers such as Huaduoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used to ensure a faster second flowering.

Maintenance focus:

You can buy lotus seeds to sow lotus, or you can buy a piece of lotus root and plant it directly. The seeds have hard shells and need to be cut and put in water to germinate. After the buds are 10 cm, put them in a basin of water, add a little soil or pond mud to cover them, and expose them to the sun for more than 4 hours a day for faster flowering.


6. Sunflower

Extreme temperature: 38 degrees

Sunflowers grow and bloom from June to August. These three months are almost the hottest time of the year. Sunflowers bloom towards the sun, and as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the sunflower disk will also rotate.

In addition to the sunflowers that we are more familiar with and that produce seeds, some new varieties have become popular in recent years, such as Teddy Bear. Its golden furry leaves are very cute. It is shorter than traditional sunflowers, and many people like to grow it.


Some flower lovers do not have enough space at home, so they can grow dwarf sunflowers, which can bloom when they are 30 cm tall and are also very popular.

Maintenance focus:

Sunflowers can be grown from ordinary melon seeds, but the flowers are small and ugly. Normal ornamental sunflowers need to be sown with specific seeds. Bury the seeds in moist soil and they will germinate and grow. They will grow faster if they are exposed to more sunlight.

7. Windmill Jasmine

Extreme temperature: 40 degrees

Windmill jasmine is also called ivy vine. It is not afraid of heat or sun, and is also shade-tolerant. If you want to grow a climbing flower that grows fast and has few diseases and pests, this is your first choice. Its flowers smell better than perfume.

Maintenance focus:

There are almost no problems to pay attention to when growing windmill jasmine. Just plant it in the ground and let it grow naturally. Remember to prune it after it blooms in summer. Don't let it grow too fast. If it is potted, it is best to add some fertilizer after it blooms. Compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer will do. It is not picky about food.

Bougainvillea is a common flower in the southern region. It is heat-resistant and sun-resistant, has a long flowering period and bright colors. It is also loved by flower lovers in the north. There is almost no problem in the summer, and it is okay in the winter if there is indoor heating. The most common rose-red bougainvillea can be planted in the ground or in areas without heating.

Maintenance focus:

Bougainvillea needs to be watered before it blooms. This does not mean watering it less often. Instead, you should let the bougainvillea become "thirsty" until its leaves become soft, then water it thoroughly with a large basin of water. Wait until the leaves become soft next time and water it thoroughly again... Repeat this for 20-30 days, and the bougainvillea will begin to bloom.

9. Lantana/Plum

Extreme temperature: 38 degrees

Lantana is what we often call five-color plum. Each flower blooms at different times and in different colors, so there are several colors of flowers on each flower ball. Five-color plum not only has orange, rose red, purple red, but also white, golden yellow, and lavender.


Maintenance focus:

The five-color plum is suitable for outdoor cultivation, and does not need shade even in the high temperatures of summer. The more it is exposed to the sun, the better it grows and the more flowers it blooms.

Maintenance focus:

To grow Desert Rose, you need more sun and enough temperature for it to bloom. The second thing is to take care of its "belly". Desert Rose is drought-tolerant but afraid of waterlogging.

Extreme temperature: 38 degrees

Hollyhocks bloom higher and higher, and are generally common on roadsides or in front of and behind houses. They can also be grown on indoor balconies. Flower lovers in the north don't have to worry about wintering because they are not only heat-resistant but also cold-resistant. If planted outdoors, they will sprout and bloom on their own in the second year.

Maintenance focus:

Hollyhock likes acidic sandy soil. It can be planted in sandy soil mixed with leaf mold or coconut coir soil. If grown outdoors, it basically depends on the weather. If planted in a pot, it needs to be watered once a day in summer because it has many flower buds and requires a lot of water.

25. Passion fruit

Extreme temperature: 35 degrees

Passion fruit seeds can be sown, and the vines grown can not only bloom but also bear fruit. Of course, the summer in the north is short, so it is okay to grow it as a flower, but the results may not be good. The high temperatures in the south last for a long time, so the results will be much smoother.

Maintenance focus:

Passion fruit can not only be sown, but also pruned and propagated. Now there are fewer bees, butterflies and insects, and the pollination rate of flowers is not good. People may need to use cotton swabs or soft-bristled brushes to sweep the stamens back and forth, and artificial pollination is required before fruit can be produced.
