Introduction

Green plants and potted flowers are essential decorative touches for home life. Keeping some flowers and plants at home brings many benefits, as they beautify the room and delight the mood. "Flower Voice Potted Plant Diary, Issue 1212" introduces you to a plant whose flower color changes.

Today's Star

There is a plant called coral bells (Heuchera), whose leaf color differs from season to season, and it is hailed as "God's palette," making it very suitable for paving courtyards. But have you ever seen a plant that blooms in different colors in different seasons? The flower introduced today, named Apricot Terrace, is just such a variety. The flowers it opens in summer and winter are different in color, sometimes making people wonder whether it is a mislabeled variety.

Apricot Terrace

Apricot Terrace, also known as Jupiter King, is a shrub plant in the Rosaceae family, defined as a "large-flowered miniature rose." Its flower diameter can reach 7 cm, and the flower shape is full and compact, resembling a peony. The flower color is variable: when it is cold, it turns pink, and when the weather is hot, it leans yellow. Its flower color differs across the four seasons of the year, including apricot-pink, light orange, and apricot-yellow. It is full of fairy-like charm and very beautiful, and it is the best-performing variety in the Dutch "Terrace" series.

Flower color changes

Apricot Terrace is very diligent and floriferous. This variety blooms repeatedly across multiple seasons of the year, with flowers in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It also blooms in multi-headed clusters, crowding together in groups, opening as a cluster at a time. Its summer flowers also perform very well, basically lasting a week without falling apart. The flower quantity is very large, with a great many buds, and at peak bloom it can cover entire branches with flowers. Its fragrance is of medium strength, and up close you can smell it filling the air.

Easy to cultivate

Apricot Terrace belongs to miniature roses. The plant is at most only about 1 m tall, thornless or with few thorns, and is very suitable for potted ornamental growing on balconies (the large-flowered miniature roses of the Dutch "Terrace" series were born for balconies). A miniature flower pot 13-15 cm in diameter is enough to grow it. Its disease resistance is very good, with few pests and diseases, and it is very easy to grow. It can be grown like ordinary green plants and flowers, with no difficulty, as flower friends who have grown it all know.

Excellent potted specimen

Apricot Terrace's leaves perform very well, glossy and shiny. The plant is neat, with moderate height, and the effect of planting it in groups is very good. It is cold-tolerant and heat-tolerant, and in most areas of our country it can be grown outdoors. In pots, it easily blooms abundantly, and its summer performance is also very good. It is sun-tolerant, does not lose its shape, and does not flatten out. Flower friends in the Guangdong area can also buy it with confidence. It is perennial, and once planted, you can enjoy its flowers year after year, making it a rare excellent potted ornamental specimen.
