Dry and Hot weather

 Summer season is at peak in our region, the scorching heat has made it impossible to step outside in daytime. Temperature is hovering above 40 degree Celsius.  

The efforts toiled to protect plants from summer heat are proving to be waste due to excessive heat and humid climate. 

            Meanwhile some hardy plants are striving the heat and daring to bloom in this hot weather.

Adeniums are most drought tolerant plants that can withstand any possible weather conditions 

                                                                          

Bougainvillea is a summer loving plant that blooms all throughout the summer and monsoon

Garden Affair : Zinnias Season

 Summers are harsh in my region . It is due to persistent heat waves it becomes tedious task to save plants from hot and dry weather. While there are limited flowering annuals that strive through the summer season and show blooms in the hot sultry weather . Zinnia is one of the hardy annuals that bloom throughout the summer and give color to the otherwise dull garden.

                                                                

Zinnia Growth and care

Zinnia can be easily grown from the seeds ,In our region seeds are sown in the spring and autumn season . They prefer sunny condition for blooming . It is best to add organic fertilizer monthly for consistent blooming period.
