8 Flowers with Super Long Bloom Periods That Are Easy to Grow - Even Lazy Gardeners Can Make Their Balcony Explode with Blooms

When we grow flowers, we always hope the blooms last a little longer and grow a little bigger. Some flowers only bloom for a day or a brief moment, and we always feel it has let us down after caring for them for so long. Today let's talk about these flowers with long bloom periods that are beautiful and easy to grow,

1. Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis), jasmine - as long as they are pruned properly and have sufficient water and fertilizer, they will bloom almost every month. The flowers are large and fragrant, and they are very easy to grow. Give them plenty of sunshine and the blooms will be especially vivid. They are suitable for balconies with ample light or for outdoor growing.

2. Periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora), dwarf petunia - these flowers are extremely tough and vigorous, easily growing into flower balls. Their blooms are quite vibrant, and the flowers are abundant. They are beginners' favorites - with hardly any care they can bloom into a whole carpet of flowers, giving you a real sense of accomplishment.

3. Geranium (Pelargonium) - geraniums have long bloom periods; one winter mine even had flower buds. They can be propagated by cuttings from the stems. They really are quite easy to grow, and their blooms are as beautiful and gorgeous as hydrangeas.

4. Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) - this is a potted plant with a very long bloom period. A single flower can stay in bloom for two to three months, making it a typical long-lasting flower. Kalanchoe also needs plenty of water during its bloom period, and the soil must be loose and well-draining, otherwise too much water can easily cause root rot.

5. Cyclamen - a perennial herbaceous plant whose flowers look like rabbit ears, so it is also called rabbit flower. Its bloom period falls around the Spring Festival, and the flowers are bright red, so it is regarded as a festive New Year flower. Note: when watering, do not pour water on the corm. Water less in summer and keep it on the dry side. With proper care, the bloom period can last more than half a year.

These cheap and common flowers are also truly stunning when they bloom, and they don't need much care. They are the exclusive flowers for beginners and lazy gardeners, filling your pots with blooms every day. That is exactly where the joy of growing flowers lies,
