Grow these 4 sun-tolerant flowers in summer: the stronger the sun, the more vigorously they bloom

The scorching June is about to arrive. Flower lovers, are you ready? Have you started to worry a little that the flowers on your balcony will be scorched to death by the sun? Do you have to worry every day that your flowers will die of dryness? Summer should be a season of bright colors. Today, Bai Xiaomei'er wants to share with you a few of the most beautiful flowers that bloom in midsummer, blooming even more abundantly the more they are exposed to the sun.

1. Moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora)

Just from the name you can tell how much it loves light. Its somewhat succulent roots and branches can store water fairly well and tolerate sun. Its flowers close in the morning and evening and bloom most brilliantly in a spot with ample light. It is easy to care for: just stick a branch in a pot and it will quickly multiply into a new pot of plants. It can be said to be one of the easiest flowers to propagate from cuttings and keep alive. It likes a warm, dry environment. When caring for it, you only need to be careful not to water it too much. Put it in a sunny spot on the balcony and it will bloom in a full pot.

2. Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides)

Gardenia not only tolerates sun but also has a captivating fragrance, and it is one of the flowers unique to this season. Place a pot on the windowsill and the whole room is filled with a fresh scent. Gardenia also likes light, but its drought tolerance is only average. When caring for it, just keep the potting soil slightly moist. In normal care, you can spray a diluted vinegar solution once every half month, which can prevent gardenia leaves from turning yellow.

3. Jasmine (Jasminum sambac)

An environment with ample light makes jasmine bloom more abundantly. Like gardenia, its fragrance is delicate and elegant, and whether it is placed at home or in the office, it can keep you feeling happy in body and mind all day long. When caring for it, place it in a spot with ample light and spray the leaves in the morning and evening to increase air humidity. To help jasmine grow better, it is recommended to plant it in loose, breathable soil to avoid the potting soil becoming compacted.

4. Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus)

Compared with the short blooming period of jasmine, Madagascar periwinkle can basically bloom all year round. As long as you have ample light, you will find it blooming at any time. When there is not enough light, it easily loses leaves. When caring for it, keep the potting soil moist.

Besides these four kinds of flowers, which are relatively sun-tolerant, our petunias, Chinese roses and so on are also fairly sun-tolerant. When growing flowers in summer, flower lovers should note that it is best to water in the evening, and in the morning and evening spray some water on the leaves of the plants to increase air humidity. Water by the principle of "water when dry, stop when wet," and avoid waterlogging that causes root rot.
