Summer red -red planters resistant to the sun are the perfect choice to give energy to balconies and gardens during the hottest months. A few precautions are enough to obtain spectacular compositions that resist even in the most intense sun.
When you think of summer planters with red tones, the image of vibrant terraces, full of light and blooms that seem to dance under the scorching sun immediately comes to mind. The red, on the other hand, is a color vital, energetic and overwhelmingperfect for evoking the most intense summer. But how to translate this feeling into a lively and lasting composition? There are those who prefer an orderly and geometric effect, and those who focus on a wild explosion of petals.
Before letting yourself go to creativity, it is useful to make a small check: how many direct hours of direct only receives that area? If the balcony or garden remain exposed all day, it is better to focus on variety truly resistantwho know how to hold without suffering. After all, even the most beautiful flower wines if it is not in the right place. That’s why starting from the position and climatic conditions is the first step for really successful planters.
Red flowers resistant to the sun: a perfect selection for summer planters
There are plants that seem made especially for the summer. Some tolerate direct light and continue to flourish even with temperatures above 30 degrees. A classic example? THE Rossi geraniums. They only need good exposure and some constant watering, but not excessive. Their flowering is continuous and abundant, perfect for those who love generous planters. Immediately behind there are the Red petunieperhaps in “surfing” varieties, which fall into waterfall and form colored clouds. They resist well in the sun and are renewed with little attention.
Those looking for something more original can focus on Dipladenia, Zinnie, Portulaca, Salvia Splendens or Begonia Dragon Wing. Each species has its own personality, and it is interesting to note that some adapt to low containers, others with deep vessels, others still to vertical or wall units. A useful rule: mix different shapes. Combining a compact flower with one more falling or erect creates a dynamic and spontaneous effect, nothing too “perfect”.
How to compose Summer Red Themed Nurseers: Tricks and combinations
Composing planters is not an exact science, but there are little secrets that make the difference. First of all, it is better to choose a suitable container: at least 30 cm deep, with good drainage and heat -resistant material. Better still if clear, so as to reflect heat and avoid excessive overheating in the most torrid days.
Then we move on to the game of combinations. Here are some ideas:
- Red + silver foliage: the gray-green leaves of a “helichryso” or a “dichondra” make the red blooms stand out even more.
- Red + white: timeless classic. The red petunias with Verbena Bianca create an elegant contrast.
- Red + pink/orange: for those who love hot tones in the round. Red zinnie and pink together are a party.
Another often neglected trick? Alternate the heights. Place the highest plants on the back and falling back to the edge of the planter gives depth and movement.
In the end, never neglect the soil: one specific for flower plants, enriched with pumice or perlite, guarantees lightness and drainage.
Maintenance and advice to keep them beautiful all summer
Even the most resistant plants in the sun need some attention. But don’t worry, just enter a light and constant pace.
Water in the morning early or in the evening, avoiding the hottest hours. Fertilize every 10-15 days with a liquid fertilizer for flower plants. Remove dry flowers: this small action stimulates new blooms. Check that they do not form stagnation, which can cause rot even to the strongest plants.
In periods of extreme heat, a small makeup is temporarily moving the planters under a slight shadow in the most critical hours. Or, use light mulch with bark to keep humidity in the pot.
After all, it is believed that a successful flower is the one that changes with the summer, the sun follows, adapts and surprises. And red, with its energy, manages to do all this.
It takes little: a vase, a good soil and a handful of right flowers.
