As November approaches, the weather is indeed getting colder day by day, and everyone has started wearing thicker clothing. Although it's cold outside, it doesn't mean that no flowers can be planted. In fact, there are many plants suitable for planting in the late autumn season. Today, I'll introduce 3 types of grass flowers. Sowing their seeds in the soil during the late autumn, the cooler temperatures can actually help them grow better.
African Marigold
The African Marigold, also known as Sudan Marigold, Foreign Marigold, or Woller Marigold, is native to the tropical regions of East Africa and is a perennial evergreen sub-shrub in the genus Impatiens of the family Balsaminaceae. As a world-renowned flower, it has many horticultural varieties, including single and double petals, with a variety of flower shapes and colors, blooming from summer to mid-autumn.
Don't be fooled by the "African" in the name of this flower; its seeds need to germinate at lower temperatures, so generally, the seeds of African Marigold are sown in spring and autumn. When purchasing, remember to observe the color of the seeds. Generally, the darker the seed coat, the stronger the viability of the seeds, and the higher the germination rate.
Care Tips
Light conditions have a significant impact on the growth of African Marigolds. They grow fastest in a semi-sunlit environment. If kept in a dark place for a long time, they may experience slow growth, etiolation, failure to bloom, or small flowers. If kept in strong sunlight for too long, their leaves may get sunburned. When caring for African Marigolds, special attention should be paid to lighting.
Compact Morning Glory
Which flowers are suitable for cultivation in November?
When it comes to the most well-known grass flowers, Compact Morning Glory comes second to none. Also known as Dwarf Petunia, Dwarf Trumpet, or灵芝牡丹 (Lingzhi Peony), it is a variant of the Morning Glory. Unlike Morning Glory, Compact Morning Glory doesn't have vines and is very short in size, but its flowers retain the trumpet shape, large and beautiful. The blooming period is also long, allowing for repeated blooming throughout the year, earning it the title of "King of Grass Flowers."
Propagation of Compact Morning Glory can be done through cutting or sowing. However, many new varieties from abroad are only sold as seeds and must be propagated by sowing. The seeds of Compact Morning Glory are very small and light. Gardeners can use a toothpick to moisten the seeds and stick them onto the toothpick, sowing one by one. After sowing, do not touch the soil, as it may cause the seeds to sink too deep and affect germination. When watering, use a gentle stream to slowly water, as a strong flow may wash away the seeds. After sowing in autumn, place the pot indoors and keep it warm.
Care Tips
Compact Morning Glory is heat-resistant but not cold-resistant. It can tolerate high temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in summer, but if the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius for an extended period in winter, it may get frostbitten and die. If you want to enjoy flowers in winter, it's best to keep the room temperature above 15 degrees Celsius. Compact Morning Glory is not resistant to rain; prolonged exposure can cause its leaves to rot. When growing outdoors, make sure to provide shelter from the rain.
