In nature, there are always some plants that, with their unique charm, bloom magnificent flowers throughout the year. The following several plants that bloom all year round will be ideal choices for you to create a four-season garden.

The Madagascar periwinkle, also known as Catharanthus roseus, lives up to its name as its characteristic suggests that new flowers bloom almost every day. Its flowers are small and delicate, with five petals closely clustered together. They come in a variety of colors such as white, pink, and purple, presenting a fresh and elegant look. It doesn't require much care. With just scattered light and an appropriate amount of water, it can keep blooming continuously and is a common sight in the four-season garden.

The crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii) is a plant with a strong personality. Its stems are covered with sharp thorns, yet it can produce gorgeously blooming flowers. The flowers look like plum blossoms, mostly in red or pink. Although they are small, they are strikingly beautiful. The crown of thorns prefers a warm and dry environment. The more sunlight it gets, the more luxuriant its flowers will be. It is not very picky about the soil and is tolerant of poor soil conditions, as long as the drainage is good. Although it is poisonous, its beauty and uniqueness still make people can't help but want to get close to it.

The Chinese hibiscus has large flowers that grow singly at the ends of branches. There are single-petaled and double-petaled varieties. The petals are soft in texture and brightly colored, commonly in colors like red, pink, and yellow. It is a tropical flower that loves a warm and humid environment. Ample sunlight can make its flowers bigger and more colorful. The Chinese hibiscus grows rapidly and has a long flowering period, so it needs regular fertilization to ensure a sufficient supply of nutrients. During the maintenance process, it is necessary to pay attention to pruning off the withered flowers and overly dense branches in time to keep the plant beautiful and promote ventilation and light transmission.

The African violet has a short stature. Its leaves are thick and arranged in a rosette shape. They have a velvety surface and a soft texture. The flowers are small and exquisite, with a rich variety of colors, ranging from the elegant blue to the bright pink and purple. It likes a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment. It has a relatively low requirement for light intensity and is suitable for growing in bright scattered light indoors. The African violet is rather sensitive to water. When watering, it is necessary to use the soaking method or water along the edge of the pot with a watering can with a thin spout to avoid getting the leaves wet and causing them to rot.
