Sunflower (Latin scientific name: Portulaca grandiflora), also known as Paeonia suffruticosa and Scutellaria barbata, is an annual flower of Portulaceae. I like warm, sunny and dry environment. At the sight of sunshine, flowers bloom and close on cloudy days in the morning and evening, hence the name "sunflower, noon flower".

Sex likes warm and sunny environment, and dark and humid places are not good for growth. Extremely barren, the general soil can adapt, especially suitable for sandy soil with good drainage. Flowers that see sunshine close in the morning, evening and cloudy days, so they are called sun flowers and noon flowers. The flowering period is from May to165438+1October, and it blooms all year round in Lingnan area.

Sunflower is an annual succulent grass flower. Plant height 12 ~ 15 cm, round stem, prostrate on the ground, inclined apex, many branches, slightly bright and smooth. It blooms continuously from June to September, and the flowers are solitary or clustered at the top of branches. The stem is 3 ~ 4 cm. There are double petals and single petals. Because it has the habit of flowering in the sun. Flowers are closed in the morning, at night and on cloudy days. The stronger the sunshine, the better the flowers bloom, so they are named Sunflower and Afternoon Flower.

You can grow the following kinds of flowers:

1, epiphyllum

Epiphyllum is very afraid of strong light and is usually placed in the dark. It blooms in the middle of the night and many people can't appreciate its beauty. The balcony faces north, and Epiphyllum is a good choice.

2. camellia

Camellia is a shade-loving plant and doesn't like strong light. Camellia is very beautiful and rare among shade plants. It's not too much trouble to take care of. Camellia has a long flowering period. If you want to keep your balcony full of flowers, plant camellias.

3. calla lily

Calla lily is similar to ivy, with or without light. As long as the temperature is right, it can grow. Note that calla lily naturally likes cool environment. If they are placed south, be careful not to be exposed to direct sunlight.

4.asparagus

Asparagus, as the most common flower plant, I believe many people know that asparagus can grow in the north without much sunlight.

5. Adiantum

This is a very attractive plant, and it likes to grow in a humid and cool environment. Only astigmatism is needed, and it can also be placed in a brighter place. Many people put it in the bathroom. As long as you keep the water dry, you can grow well.

Except Adiantum, other ferns and flowers can be planted on the balcony facing north.

6.ivy

Ivy can grow well in plenty of sunshine, but it is also resistant to shade. As long as astigmatism is needed, ivy can thrive. So the balcony facing north can also be planted.

7.green radish

Strictly speaking, green radish is an indoor flower. However, since it can survive indoors, it shows that the requirements for light are not strict.
