Recommendations for fragrant plants that bloom continuously in summer and are easy to care for

Introduction

Potted green plants are essential decorative items for home life, as they can beautify the room and also cultivate the mind and character. Keeping some flowers and plants at home has many benefits. "Flower Sound Potted Plant Diary · Issue 1037" takes you to get to know several plants that bloom in summer and are also very fragrant.

Gardenia

When it comes to "beautiful and fragrant" plants, the first that comes to mind is of course the gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides). When it blooms, its fragrance fills the whole room. It has always been the leader in the world of "fragrant flowering plants" and is a flower that many flower lovers must grow every summer. Its flower color is fresh and elegant, and its floral fragrance is rich and can be smelled from far away, so even an air freshener can be skipped.

Both flowers and leaves are beautiful

The gardenia has a very long flowering period, generally starting to bloom in May and continuing throughout the whole summer, until there are still flowers blooming in autumn. During this period, it blooms multiple times, one flower after another. Especially on summer nights, the fragrance reaches its peak. It is truly a plant whose single bloom can perfume a whole room, and it is well worth having.

Orange jasmine

Orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata) is a plant that is very "overlooked," probably because its name is too exaggerated. In fact, it is also very worth getting. Its flowers have the standard five petals and are pale white, with a light fragrance. The intensity is not as strong as that of gardenia, but it is still full of ethereal beauty and has very high ornamental value.

Orange jasmine bearing fruit

Orange jasmine also has a very long flowering period, naturally from April to August, and some bloom after autumn. When cultivated in a greenhouse, it can bloom all year round. After the flowers fade, it produces fruit, which is red and small, very beautiful. Orange jasmine is a plant that combines flower viewing, foliage viewing, and fruit viewing, and it is also an important excellent material for bonsai.

Jasmine

The third is jasmine, of which it is said, "When flowers bloom throughout the garden, none is as fragrant as it." There is no need to say much about jasmine. It is the favorite flower of middle-aged and older friends at home. My dad brings a few home every year, placing them on the balcony during the day and picking the flowers at night to distribute in various rooms. That is truly a single bloom that can perfume a whole room.

Long flowering period

The flowering periods of jasmine and gardenia almost overlap. Both start blooming in May and continue into autumn, wave after wave, blooming continuously. Jasmine flowers are extremely fragrant, pure and natural with no pollution, and are a famous raw material for scented tea and an important raw material for essences; the flowers and leaves are used medicinally to treat red and swollen eyes and painful swelling, and also have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
