For summer flowers, choose this one: easy to grow, beautiful, and not afraid of high temperatures; the more sun it gets, the more it bursts with blooms.

Because summer is a high-temperature season, many flower lovers sigh that they do not know what flowers to grow. They feel that in the scorching summer, flowers all struggle to get through the season, and if you are not careful they get scorched and wilted, which is a little heartbreaking to see. Today, the editor wants to recommend a flower that is very suitable for summer care. This flower is not afraid of high temperatures and the more sun it gets, the more it bursts with blooms. It is called "wishbone flower" (Torenia fournieri).

Wishbone flower is also called butterfly grass. Its flower colors are rich and varied. It likes high temperatures and tolerates heat. It gets its name because it blooms in summer and its lip-shaped flowers look quite similar to those of the violet.

The flower shape of the wishbone flower is somewhat similar to that of the stock, so some people mistake it for one. The flower colors of the wishbone flower are rich and varied, including white, pink, peach red, purple red, purple blue, deep purple, blue, as well as blue-white bicolor, red-white bicolor, purple-white bicolor, and other mixed colors. The wishbone flower likes light, and during its growth it needs sufficient light so that it blooms more brilliantly and keeps its leaves emerald green.

Be sure to let the wishbone flower get plenty of sun; the more sun it gets, the more it bursts with blooms. The wishbone flower not only likes light but also likes water and prefers a humid environment. Once it lacks water, it will easily look half-dead. Although the wishbone flower likes water, it definitely should not have water accumulating in the pot. Just water thoroughly when the potting soil has dried out, and keep the potting soil moist regularly.

Remember: you must not water during the high-temperature midday period in summer!

The soil for caring for the wishbone flower should preferably be fertile or sandy soil, and it must have good drainage and air permeability!

To care for the wishbone flower, you do not need to buy seedlings. When we grow it this year, after it finishes blooming, we can collect its seeds and continue sowing them next year!

We can use the seeds from one wishbone flower plant to grow a whole garden of wishbone flowers. Isn't that a way to save money on buying wishbone flower seedlings!
