Choose these 4 kinds for autumn flower growing, easy to care for and not the same as everyone else, beautiful through the whole autumn and winter
As soon as the autumn flower-growing season arrives, everything you scroll past is either kalanchoe or big chrysanthemums. Pretty as they are, they are just too"overdone"! Actually, if you want to grow something fresh and easy to keep alive, there is nothing to worry about at all. Today I am recommending4flowers for everyone; their blooms are especially distinctive, and autumn is just the right time to plant them.
Bleeding heart:its flowers look like little purses. Planting it in autumn is especially worry-free. Whether in the south or the north, find a semi-shady spot - a balcony corner or under the shade of a tree in a small yard will do. It does not need too much sun, just water it occasionally and keep the soil slightly moist. It is also cold-resistant. Planted outdoors in the north in autumn, it will not be damaged even at a few degrees below zero. Even if the leaves wither in winter, new shoots can still sprout again in spring. The key point is that few people grow it now, so placing it at home is absolutely niche and classy.
Blue snow flower:its blooms are a light sky blue, and just looking at them is especially soothing. Some people may think it blooms mostly in summer, but actually planted in autumn it can also bloom profusely! Autumn temperatures in the south are just right. Plant it on an outdoor terrace, give it plenty of sunlight, keep up with watering, and it can keep blooming until the end of10; in the north, pay a little more attention, and after the temperature drops, move it to an indoor windowsill and it will still bloom. It grows fast, and not long after planting it can cover a flower trellis, and it is especially easy to care for. Even if you occasionally forget to water it and it wilts, a little water will bring it back to life. Nowadays everyone loves growing red flowers and pink flowers, so this touch of blue can absolutely stand out among the flowers, not the same as others and showing good taste!
Viola:do not confuse it with the common pansy. It is one size smaller than the pansy, more delicate and cute! Its flower colors are also richer than those of the pansy. Besides purple and yellow, there are also gradient ones and ones with small spots, especially lively. Planting it in autumn is super simple. Scatter a few seeds in a flowerpot, water a little, and it will sprout within a few days. Planted in a yard in the south, it can bloom in a patch however it grows; planted on an indoor balcony in the north, give it a little sunlight, and it can bloom in winter too. It is cold-resistant and tough. Even if it is placed outdoors on a snowy day (within minus5degrees in the north), it will still bloom. It also blooms frequently, from autumn all the way to the spring of the following year. Usually it needs little care, and even beginners can grow a pot full of flowers. The key point is that not many people grow it yet, so if you want something different, choosing it is sure to be right!
Brazilian aster:although it has the word"aster" in its name, it is completely different from the common big chrysanthemums! It is a short, clump-forming type, does not take up much space, and a single pot on the balcony is just right. Plant it in autumn, and it will quickly produce buds. Its blooms are light purple or white, and the petal edges have a few little waves. The whole pot is full of tiny flowers, fresh and pleasant to look at. As long as it gets enough light, it can bloom from autumn all the way to the spring of the following year. In the south, it can bloom outdoors in winter; in the north, just move it indoors. Daily care is also simple. Do not let water accumulate when watering, and give a little dilute fertilizer occasionally, and it will bloom very vigorously. Whether planted alone in a pot or paired with other small flowers, it is especially eye-catching, and it is niche and not overdone.
When growing flowers in autumn, why crowd into the same monotonous scenery? You do not have to follow the trend and choose popular varieties. These4kinds of flowers are not only easy to care for, but each has its own beauty. Whether you want to add some color to your balcony or bring some novelty to a small yard, pick one and give it a try.
