What is Gesang flower and when does it bloom?

1. What kind of flower is it?

There is no exact definition of what kind of flower Gesang flower is, and there is controversy about it now. In Tibetan areas, all beautiful-looking flowers are generally called Gesang flowers. The main representative plants now include Cosmos, Fruticosa chinensis, and Aster, which are considered Gesang flowers in different regions and among different people. Among them, the most widely recognized one is the Gesang flower, also known as Qiuying, which is the representative of Gesang flowers in many film and television works, songs, and magazines. It has eight petals, which are very beautiful and have different colors. However, it is an alien species and is not a Gesang flower in the strict sense. It is just now considered to be a Gesang flower. Before it was introduced to China, what was thought to be the Gesang flower might have been the Stellera chamaejasme.

2. When to open

The flowering period of Gesang flower is not fixed, but the general flowering period is around June to September. Due to differences in regional climate and environment, the flowering time varies. The temperature in lower areas is higher, and the flowering time in these places is earlier. The temperature in higher altitude areas is lower, and the flowering time is later.
