Climate characteristics and plant selection
Advantages of the warm monsoon climate
The humid climate in spring and winter is especially suitable for the growth of shade-loving plants such as azaleas and camellias, while the abundant sunshine in summer creates a good environment for positive flowers such as roses and sunflowers. It is worth noting that during the autumn drought period from September to November, choosing drought-resistant varieties such as coreopsis and verbena can maintain the landscape effect.

Interpretation of the city's ecological business card
The deep value of the city flower azalea
The 100,000 mu of wild azalea forest in Guanghanzhai forms a pink sea of flowers every April, and its roots can effectively prevent soil and water loss. As an indicator plant of acidic soil, the degree of blooming of azaleas can directly reflect the quality of the ecological environment. It is recommended to use pruning-tolerant varieties such as sheep's foot and horsewhip azalea for horticultural cultivation.
The ecological function of camphor trees
There are 12 ancient camphor trees over 800 years old in the city, and their volatile substances can purify the air. When planting in the courtyard, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the crown diameter of the mature tree reaches 15 meters, and a planting spacing of more than 5 meters should be maintained. The dwarf variety 'Ganzhang No.1' promoted in recent years is more suitable for home planting.
By scientifically matching trees, shrubs, and grasses, a four-season flower garden can be created: using azaleas and tulips to form color blocks in spring, combining lotus pond with hibiscus hedges in summer, and using camellias and wintersweet to extend the viewing period in autumn and winter. Regularly participating in the cultivation lectures held by the municipal botanical garden can obtain localized maintenance experience.
