Choose a variety that blooms in all four seasons, so you can enjoy flowers regularly. They are especially beautiful, the flowers carry a faint fragrance, and they are truly easy to care for. Just prune and fertilize occasionally.
The climbing vines spread everywhere, blooming in swaths, like a sea of flowers. Roses are relatively cold-hardy. In winter, even at minus ten-plus degrees Celsius, they remain unscathed, and the following year they sprout and bloom just the same.
Crape myrtle. Plant a few crape myrtles around the house or in a small yard. Their flowering period is very long, and they bloom especially brilliantly and vibrantly in summer and autumn. They are not afraid of sun or cold.
They are usually very easy to care for. With plenty of base fertilizer, the flowers bloom so heavily they weigh down the branches. The light red and purple blossoms open day after day.
Honeysuckle. It is a very easy-to-grow climbing plant. Just snap off a branch and stick it in soil and it grows roots. It can be propagated by cuttings in all four seasons. A cutting-grown seedling can cover a terrace wall in one year. Xiaoya planted one, and in a year it grew into a full pot.
As long as the soil is fertile and nutrients are sufficient, it will grow like crazy. The flowers are especially beautiful, and the fragrance carries far. It is not afraid of cold in winter, and it will not freeze to death even at minus ten degrees Celsius.
Star jasmine. It is also a very attractive flowering plant, and the shape of its petals is especially interesting, like the shape of a pinwheel. It climbs and vines abundantly, its flowers are pure white and fragrant, and its flowering period is very long, lasting several months.
Water it regularly, but there must not be standing water. Water more in summer and less in winter. Give it some organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer regularly, and it will grow vigorously, climbing and blooming abundantly.
Osmanthus. Whether it is four-season osmanthus or ordinary osmanthus, it is very easy to care for. Its flowers are fresh and fragrant, and the blooms are numerous. Osmanthus can also be propagated from branch cuttings. Osmanthus is not afraid of cold or heat, and is very suitable for planting in a courtyard or on a terrace.
