Flowering plants


Flowering plants

Azalea, African Violet and Paper White Narcissus. All of them are easy to grow too. The azalea likes it cool and very moist, the flowers last a long time in those conditions and it can bloom again in the summer too.

Rkwright, I accidentally found, that these room-azaleas can bloom in one corner of my garden (sheltered, occluded place) so I have had them out there for 2 years and they bloom for a very long time, much longer then typical garden azaleas. Will bring the photo, when they will start.
I bought them previously as inside flowers, but they suffered and finally died in a month. Garden suits them more.

I'd try it outside but winter here is far too cold for this azalea. If the coldest temps were 10-20 degrees warmer then I could probably get away with it but I can't even grow chinese redbud outside without it dying. You're very lucky, these are great azaleas that bloom a long time!

Yes, I know :). We have temperatures minus 10 or minus 20 few days a year, but it seems it doesn´t harm them, if they are sheltered from north and have a lot of mulch. I checked my azaleas yesterday and surprisingly they were not frozen and I must say, I saw buds already :)

Is that -10 to -20 Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Celsius :) No place for Fahrenheit in old Protestant Continent :)
