Which sun-tolerant green plants are suitable for growing on a living room balcony in summer?

As April arrives, the weather starts getting hotter and hotter, and the feel of summer is closing in. At this time many flowers exposed to the scorching sun look a bit dried out and unable to cope. However, not all flowers are so afraid of the blazing sun; some flowers even bloom more vigorously the hotter and stronger the sunlight is.

Its flowering period is mostly from July to September, and it is a typical flower that can withstand high temperatures. It can be grown in vases or in pots. For care, it is recommended to place it on a balcony or by a window; the more sun the better. It cannot be kept in a dark environment for a long time, otherwise the quality of flowering will be affected.
