Safflower vine

Safflower Wencheng, alias red cicada, fragrant vine, etc., are new varieties introduced from tropical America in the early years. Most varieties can bloom in two colors at the same time, such as red and pink, white and pink at the same time. Flowers are like five-pointed stars and small windmills, with light petals and fresh and beautiful petals, which are very common in art shops in Guangzhou and Xiamen in the south.

A tree of bicolor flowers

Carthamus tinctorius was pink at first. Because of the wide market and strong demand, horticulturists have cultivated other color varieties one after another, basically with pink genes, so the shape is not very stable, and multicolor flowers are very common and more gorgeous. Its flowering period is very long, in South China, it can blossom all the year round, while in the north, it is mostly potted, which is maintained indoors in winter and blossoms normally with sufficient light.

The balcony becomes a garden.

Compared with other vines, morning glory has fewer branches and more than one year; the plant type of Liana rose is tall, which is not suitable for balcony cultivation; clematis has poor summer performance and short flowering period, and safflower vine is more worthy of cultivation, and it is as difficult to maintain as green orchid. It is not necessary to take care of a general-sized flowerpot without taking up space. It is necessary to create a balcony garden with flowers in the four seasons.
