Summer Garden

Hello everyone
Today we will talk about the rest flowers which I listed in previous blogs which are as below.

• Roses
• Hibiscus
• Portulaca
• Aster
• Daisy
• Calendula

Roses

use larger containers with a minimum depth of 30-45cm (12-18in).Roses love sunshine and should receive sun for at least half the day.In container plants can be potted up any time between October and march.Better before march.Soil should be well drained and rich with compost and organic manure.roses needs lots of water but not over watered. pruning and hoeing helps a lot in plant growth and blooming.

Hibiscus

Cannot  tolerate frost and freeze.If its too cold keep it inside. Loves full sun.Soil should be fertilized and well drained.In very hot summer the soil should always be moist not soggy.Flowering may slow down in mid summer heat.

Portulaca

When planting the portulaca seeds, it is not necessary to cover the seed at all and, if covered, only very lightly as they need the sun to sprout and grow. Portulaca flowers tolerate many kinds of soil but prefer sandy, well-drained soil and love the full sunlight. These plants are excellent for high heat and drought tolerance, and will seed and spread themselves very well. When they are watered, just a light watering will do, as their root is very shallow.

Aster 

Very easy to grow not much care required. Deadheading is required for more blooms.It blooms in late summer,Loves full sun.

Calendula

Too much calendula care can result in stunted or slow growth of calendula plants. Poor to average, well draining soil and only occasional watering after plants are established is the secret to growing  calendula plants. Deadheading is required for more blooms.
