The temperature in spring is neither cold nor hot, and many flower enthusiasts choose to buy flowers and plants during this season. There is a wide variety of flowers in the market in April, and it is easy to get overwhelmed, not knowing which one to choose. In fact, when buying flowers now, we should consider the upcoming summer and try to choose varieties that bloom in both spring and summer. The following five flowers are easy to care for and bloom frequently, from spring to summer. If you want to enjoy flowers at home all the time, choose them:
Jasmine
Jasmine is a well-known flower variety that is loved by many for its small but abundant flowers that emit a strong fragrance after blooming. Jasmine's blooming season begins in mid to late April, and with proper care, it can bloom from spring to autumn, all the way to September.
Jasmine is adaptable and easy to grow. Moreover, it has good heat resistance and will continue to bloom throughout the summer. In the circle of flower enthusiasts, jasmine is considered a must-have plant variety for the summer.
Spring and Summer Maintenance Tips
Although jasmine is easy to care for, to ensure larger and more flowers in the summer, we should fertilize 1-2 times a month in spring to lay a good foundation for blooming. After all, jasmine is a flower from the south, so northern flower enthusiasts should use sulfuric iron once a month to adjust the soil acidity.
After April, jasmine will continue to bloom, and it is necessary to剪掉 (cut off) the withered flowers and trim the weak branches immediately after each flower fades to encourage new growth and blooming.
Pelargonium
Pelargonium, which always produces flower balls, is also one of the widely popular flower varieties. There are many types of pelargonium, and if we choose the hanging variety, it can bloom continuously throughout the year. The hanging varieties have delicate and soft branches, like to creep, and are especially suitable for planting in hanging baskets, which can beautifully decorate windows and balconies.

Spring and Summer Maintenance Tips
Although pelargonium can continue to bloom in the summer, it is not heat-resistant. When the temperature is particularly hot during the dog days of summer, make sure to place it in a cool and well-ventilated area. Also, before the summer arrives, it is best to trim the old leaves of pelargonium, as dense old leaves can easily lead to poor ventilation and cause a lot of yellow leaves.
Ipomoea nil
In April, many flower enthusiasts are recommending ipomoea nil. There's no other reason for its popularity except for one word: fast. It grows very fast, while ordinary flowers need to be cultivated for several months to see results, ipomoea nil only needs 1-2 months to fill a flower pot. Even in the summer, its growth rate does not slow down. The blooming is also very fast, and the fastest blooming record of ipomoea nil by the editor of the Green Plant Enthusiast website is from a seedling to the first flower in just 6 days.
Spring and Summer Maintenance Tips
The leaves of ipomoea nil are not large, but they are covered with villi. These leaves are afraid of rain, as rainwater can stay on the villi for a long time, leading to leaf rot and withered branches. Spring and summer have a lot of rain, so be careful to avoid rain.
Due to the villi on the leaves, ipomoea nil requires a well-ventilated environment for care. If the ventilation is poor, bacteria can easily multiply on the villi, causing the plant to get sick. When caring for it, place the pot in a ventilated area and prune the branches more in the summer to keep the plant breathable.
Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is an imported flower variety, native to Brazil, where the climate is hot, so bougainvillea has strong heat resistance and is also suitable for planting in hot summer areas such as Hainan and Guangzhou.
