What flowers are suitable for Lianyungang
Key Points for Choosing Suitable Flowers
Preferred Salt-Tolerant Plants
The characteristic of a coastal city results in higher soil salinity, so it is recommended to plant salt-tolerant varieties such as cercis and hibiscus. Among them, cercis has a flowering period of up to 100 days, blooming from June to September, perfectly matching the summer scenery of Lianyungang's port city.
Courtyard Flower Combination
The acid-base color-changing characteristics of hydrangea and cape jasmine can create a dreamy courtyard, combined with herbaceous plants such as pansy and dwarf morning glory to form a multi-layered landscape. Camellia, as an evergreen shrub, can maintain the vitality of the courtyard in winter.
Interpretation of the City's Symbolic Plants
Cultural Imagery of Magnolia
The city flower magnolia, established in 1987, covers more than 3000 acres in Yuntai Mountain. Its 'gauzy petals' bloom in harmony with the ancient city wall of Haizhou, attracting over 100,000 tourists every year during the magnolia festival held in March.
Ecological Value of Ginkgo
As a relic plant from the Quaternary glacial period, ginkgo has been cultivated in Lianyungang for over a thousand years. There are 27 ancient ginkgos with a diameter of 1 meter or more, among which the ginkgo king in Kongwang Mountain, from the Han Dynasty, stands 28 meters tall, with its golden leaves in autumn becoming a photography hotspot.
