Which flowering potted plants are not afraid of intense sun? These five are great to grow

Gardeners certainly feel it deeply in summer: to keep flowers from being scorched, they need to be moved out of direct sunlight. If you grow these few plants, then at the hottest noon you will not have to keep carrying them in and out of the house, because they are not afraid of intense sun. Let's get to know them.

Crape myrtle

Crape myrtle, also known as zijinghua, blooms in summer and autumn, has a long flowering period, and enjoys the fine name "hundred-day red." Crape myrtle likes light and tolerates drought, and is suited to growing in fertile soil.

Petunia

Petunia, also known as bidongqie, likes warmth and grows quickly in the hot summer. As long as the soil is fertile and there is enough water, it will soon produce beautiful, vivid flowers.

Verbena

Verbena grows in the high temperatures of blazing summer and likes plenty of light; it is a warmth-loving flower. There are many varieties and colors. Its ability to withstand drought and poor soil is relatively weak, so in summer water it more and keep the humidity up.

Sunflower (Portulaca grandiflora)

Portulaca grandiflora can bloom normally in warm, dry conditions, and closes on rainy days. The flowers come in many colors and give off a faint fragrance, making it suitable for ornamental planting. Just like its name, it loves the sun and is not afraid of drought; in summer there is no need at all to worry that the scorching sun will scorch it.

Milan (Aglaia odorata)

Milan, also known as four-season Milan, grows in a warm, humid environment. In summer it blooms with fragrant yellow flowers that are a delight to the eye. It can be placed outdoors in a spot with plenty of light, so that the flowers produced during its peak blooming period will have an even richer fragrance.
