Why should you choose plants that can flower all year round?
Not everyone has much time to take care of ornamental plants. Therefore, flowers that can bloom persistently all year round are being chosen by many families to create highlights for their living space.
These plants not only help keep the garden fresh but also reduce the care labor compared to flowers that only bloom seasonally. In addition, maintaining green space and flower colors around the house also contributes to improving the landscape, creating a feeling of relaxation after stressful working hours.
According to Dr. Allan Armitage - honorary professor of gardening at the University of Georgia (USA) - plants with long flowering times are often favored in landscape design because they bring stable aesthetic value and are suitable for many climatic conditions.
In Vietnam, the hot and humid tropical climate is a favorable condition for many flower species to develop and bloom for most of the year.
Paper flower, dried coconut, trang flower, thanh tú and ngũ sắc are outstanding choices.
Paper flowers are one of the most popular plants thanks to their good sun and drought resistance. The plant has many colors such as red, pink, purple, orange or white and can bloom many times a year.
Dried coconut is considered an easy-to-grow flower, with few pests and diseases. The tree is suitable for both gardens and balconies, with continuous flowers in white, pink or light purple colors.
Trang flowers (bông trang) stand out with thick clusters of flowers, bright colors. This plant is often planted as a fence or highlight in the garden thanks to its long-lasting flowering ability.
Fragrant flowers have small gentle blue flowers, suitable for small spaces such as balconies, windows or terraces. The plant grows well in high-light conditions.
Five-color flowers impress with clusters of flowers that can change color when blooming. This is a plant with strong vitality, less care and good adaptation to hot weather.
According to Professor Linda Chalker-Scott - a bonsai expert at Washington State University (USA) - choosing the right type of plant suitable for local climate conditions will help plants grow healthily, bloom more sustainably and limit pests and diseases.
Experts recommend ensuring that the plant is provided with sufficient light, reasonably watered and pruned periodically to maintain its flowering ability year-round.
