Which dormant flowers that fear heat and sun are hard to get through summer?

Some varieties of flowers bloom more joyfully the hotter it gets, such as bougainvillea, jasmine, desert rose and so on, but some flowers are the opposite: the hotter it gets, the more they want to sleep, looking sickly and even developing yellow leaves, making people frown and want to throw them away at the sight! But today I want to tell gardening friends that their sickly appearance may just mean they have entered dormancy, and when the air cools down in autumn, they will regain their vitality and then bloom, so do not rush to throw them away.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium, also known as garden nasturtium, has leaves very similar to those of the lotus, and its flowers are mostly yellow. Once the growing temperature exceeds 30°C, it grows especially slowly, and some even develop yellow leaves and drop their leaves. At this time, gardening friends only need to keep it in a bright and well-ventilated place and keep the soil slightly moist, and it can smoothly get through summer. When autumn comes, it will bloom again, and the more it grows, the more beautiful it becomes.

Wood sorrel

It belongs to a kind of bulb flower, somewhat like a rockery in part, with leaves very similar to clover, and flowers in diverse colors, always giving people a fresh and delicate feeling. It greatly prefers a cool environment. Once the weather turns hot, its leaves dry up, turn yellow and drop. At this time, gardening friends must not throw it away, because it has only entered a dormant state. In summer, it only needs to be placed in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight, with the soil kept slightly dry. When autumn comes, it will naturally wake up.

Narcissus

Narcissus is also fondly called the fairy on the waves by some people, because its hydroponically grown leaves stand gracefully and its flowers are pure and lovely. However, many people directly throw away their narcissus after it blooms and buy new ones in winter. This is quite a pity. In fact, gardening friends can keep the narcissus bulbs after flowering and place them in a flowerpot, then provide good ventilation and shade. When the dry autumn comes, replant them, and by winter they can again grow very beautiful flowers.

Freesia

The reason many people are infatuated with freesia is that it has a fresh perfume scent that makes people feel especially comfortable when smelling it. It likes a cool environment, and its flowering period is in winter and spring. After flowering, the leaves and roots of freesia also grow very quickly. In summer, these leaves will wither and turn yellow. At this time, do not throw it away either; it has only entered dormancy. Gardening friends can dig out the bulbs and continue planting them in autumn and winter. When the flowering period comes, it can bloom many flowers again.
