What flowers bloom in summer?
Do you know anything about the plants that bloom in summer? Let's find out some related information about green plants that bloom in summer.
Many flower enthusiasts have been asking recently, what flowers are suitable to plant in summer? While gardens are full of blooming flowers in spring, they tend to look rather bleak in summer. Today, I'm recommending 10 kinds of flowers that are perfect for summer planting, each with an extended blooming period and suitable for both potting and ground planting.
For those who love balcony gardening and potted plants, I recommend you grow the following five types of flowers in summer, which are all perennial woody plants that will bloom every year after being planted once.
1. Blue Snowflake
If you can only grow one type of flower in summer, I recommend the Blue Snowflake. It is truly a blooming machine and very easy to care for, even friendly to beginners. You don't have to worry about killing it or not getting it to bloom.
The flowers of Blue Snowflake are very elegant, with small light blue flowers that bloom in clusters, forming a small flower ball that sways with the wind, giving a cooling sensation. When the flowers fade, pruning and fertilizing promptly can make them bloom again. The blooming period of Blue Snowflake can start from the beginning of summer and last until late autumn.
2. Chocolate Cosmos
What flowers bloom in summer?
Chocolate Cosmos, also known as Lace Cosmos, has blue-purple flowers that bloom in clusters and smell like chocolate. It is also a very easy-to-grow woody plant with a vigorous growth habit. If grown in a pot on the balcony, pruning the branches during the growing season in spring is necessary to control its growth, as it can take up quite a bit of space.
If grown in a garden, you can let it grow freely, and it can become a large flowering tree, which is also very beautiful. Chocolate Cosmos is very tough and easy to care for, so even beginners don't have to worry about not being able to keep it alive.
3. fragrant trumpet vine/Red蝉 Flower
Besides Blue Snowflake and Chocolate Cosmos, there is also a fragrant trumpet vine that looks like a trumpet and is very suitable for summer cultivation. The blooming period of the fragrant trumpet vine is also long, starting from summer and blooming continuously. It's important to note that fragrant trumpet vine and Red蝉 Flower are two different plants. Currently, most sellers in the market sell Red蝉 Flower as fragrant trumpet vine, so many flower enthusiasts find that their fragrant trumpet vine doesn't have a fragrance and doesn't like to climb. This is because they bought Red蝉 Flower, not the true fragrant trumpet vine.
4. Jasmine
Jasmine is a favorite among many flower enthusiasts, who must have a pot every summer because the flowers are so fragrant. Moreover, the flowers can be picked and used to make tea. The moment hot water is poured into the cup, the fragrance is overwhelming, something that dried jasmine tea cannot compare to. Note that jasmine is cooling in nature, and it's not advisable to drink too much tea made from it.
