Watering: flowers to watch out for in summer

Without being demanding, some plants flower more when they benefit from copious waterings. This is the case with ‘Diamond Frost’ spurge and loosestrife.

Euphorbia: regular watering

The ‘ diamond frost’ euphorbia is planted in the sun, in a pot or in the ground. It likes heat, but fears drought.
Water this euphorbia every two days, adding fertilizer every week so that it remains filled with a multitude of small white flowers similar to snowflakes.

Lysimachus: moisture without excess

A not very hardy perennial grown as an annual, loosestrife congestifolia is often used as a ground cover or suspended in a sunny situation. Its bright yellow flowers gathered in an umbel follow one another in summer and autumn. Be careful, this loosestrife likes cool to moist soils, but never soggy!
