Common summer dormant flowers

What is Hibernation

Speaking of the dormant period of flowers, it is the time in summer or winter when the annual average temperature is the highest or lowest. Since flowers cannot withstand the damage of high or low temperatures, they adopt a state of dormancy and stop growing to adapt to the harsh environment.

Main characteristics of dormancy

All dormant flowers show a characteristic that the plants no longer grow or the growth rate slows down. Today we will mainly talk about the main reason for summer dormant flowers. Because the temperature of the growing environment exceeds 30 degrees, some will become semi-dormant, some will become completely dormant, and some will even lose their freshness and wither.

Common aestivation flowers

variety

The summer-dormant flowers that people plant more often in their daily lives include begonia, Clivia, tulip, cyclamen, geranium, hyacinth, poppy, violet, white globulus, calla lily, daffodil, daisy, etc.

Classification

The above-mentioned dormant flowers can be divided into three different forms of summer survival. Cyclamen, Pulsatilla, hyacinth, daffodils and other flowers need to hibernate in the bulb part; violets, daisies, poppies and other flowers need to hibernate in the seeds to spend the summer; for flowers like Clivia, carnation, geranium, fuchsia, calla lily, etc., the entire plant cannot be lower than the temperature and needs to hibernate.

If the hot summer climate is not handled properly, delicate flowers will suffer a severe blow. As long as they are carefully managed through the summer, they will gradually come back to life.
