Flowers in Containers

In May I planted Nasturtium (Tropaeolum), Brachikome, decorative Sunflowers, Asters, Nasturtium, Begonia and Impatiens in garden pots, tubs and urns. But plants stopped growing and acclimatized for about 2 weeks. They grew very slowly, possibly due to cold nights. I think so, but perhaps the reason is different.

I usually prepare the soil before planting seedlings, mix the soil with sand, compost and manure, sometimes add last year's leaves. I often cultivate seedlings and suggested that they would develop well.

Nasturtium

When forecasted on cold nights, I placed the most delicate flowers in the greenhouse. Then I had to return to the city, I covered them with a special cloth, and begonia and fuchsia were not affected by the cold.

Impatiens Balsamina

Fuchsia

Impatiens walleriana

It's June the days and nights are warm, Asters Sunflowers Impatiens Gladioli  Pelargonium grow in tubs, tolerate night temperatures well. Nasturtuim and Brachycome began to bloom in hanging pots.

Sunflower (Helianthus)

I noticed that the smaller the container is, the soil dries out faster and plants need to be watered more often.

It's June, the first month of summer. Here we call it "top of the year" or Midsummer. Plants became stronger and bloom more beautifully.

I wish you warm and sunny weather.
