care for plants in the rainy
What you need to know:
The rainy season is still here for some more months. However, you do not want your garden to look miserable during this season. Shabibah Nakirigya writes about the flowers you can plant
Recently, a friend planted some flower seedlings but was worried if they will survive the rainy season. The reason was that the rain just makes the seedling rot instead of blossoming.
However, unlike my friend who is not a consistent gardener, if you are a garden lover, you will love the magic of seasons as well. This is because different flowers bloom in different seasons.
So if you have any rainy season flowering plants, they will change the look of your garden as well because during the rainy season, these plants will fill your garden with so many colours. But, a common doubt related to gardening in the rainy season is about the selection of plants that give you the most beautiful rainy season flowers.
But if this is your concern, you need not because Isaac Katamba, a tree planter on Mukwano Road says, gardening during the rainy season is relaxing and fun-filled especially if you choose the right plants because these will not need watering. He says there are many flowers that will blossom during such weather to make your garden look colourful and attractive.
Katamba adds that rainy season flowers can vary in their shades which may include pink, white, orange, red and many more. Below are some common rainy season flower plants that you can consider to decorate your garden. Try out these rainy season flowers in your garden and enjoy your gardening.
