Choose these 5 drought-tolerant, sun-loving flowers for summer, beautiful and easy to grow

Some gardening friends say that growing flowers in summer is the most troublesome thing: when you get busy and forget to water them in time, the plants just dry up; if you don't move them indoors in time, one round of sun and they're pretty much done for.

Today Huar will introduce 5 kinds of drought-tolerant, sun-loving flowers that are very easy to grow and especially suited to summer.

1. Desert rose

Desert rose, also known as Tianbao flower, is a succulent plant. Its trunk is swollen, its leaves are alternate and simple, and its leaves are dark green. Its flowering period is from May to December, which is especially long, making it a plant very suitable for decorating the home.

Desert rose is extremely drought-tolerant and can go several days without watering. It loves light and can take full sun; even placed outdoors in midsummer it is fine, and it will still grow very well. It also likes soil that contains calcium and has high air permeability. You can bury a little bone meal in the potting soil to help it grow even better.

2. Geranium

One major characteristic of geranium is that young plants are fleshy herbs while older plants are semi-woody. Many gardening friends like to place it on the windowsill.

Geranium likes a warm winter and cool summer environment. Its flowering period is from May to July. It needs plenty of light, and it likes dryness rather than moisture. In summer, do not water it too frequently; water it thoroughly only when you see signs of the potting soil drying and cracking. About every ten days you can apply some dilute phosphorus-potassium liquid fertilizer, which helps it bloom.

3. Moss rose

Moss rose is known as the undying flower. It has very strong vitality and comes in many flower colors, with a faint floral fragrance. With simple care it can bloom all over the pot.

Moss rose likes warm, sunny places and especially loves sandy soil. From June to September it blooms continuously. In summer, give it more sun and more water and fertilizer, and it will grow very well and bloom into a sea of flowers.

4. Crown of thorns

Crown of thorns is famous for its stems covered in thorns. It is a trailing shrub plant with bright, eye-catching flowers. With good care it can bloom in all four seasons. Gardening friends with children at home should pay attention to safety.

Crown of thorns likes a warm, humid environment and fears high temperatures and waterlogging. In summer it should be moved to a relatively shady place; proper shading at noon can help it grow and bloom better. Every day you can spray some water on the leaves to increase humidity.
