Actually, plants bloom during the day, but as so often there is an exception. And this one is called night bloomer. We'll tell you which plants are included here.
In the evening, enjoy your own garden with a glass of wine and candlelight, plus an intoxicating scent that emanates from the plants surrounding the terraces and balconies. Or magnificent flowers that still show their full beauty at night - what could be nicer?
Now that's a truly stunning reason that we should definitely pay attention to when planning the garden. Accordingly, you should definitely use night-blooming and night-scented plants everywhere in your garden. So even in the evening you can still enjoy a beautiful and, above all, wonderfully fragrant flower splendor. We will now tell you which plants belong to such night bloomers.
Overview of night flowering plants
➤ Night bloomers with particularly beautiful flower colors
At night, flowers shine mainly in the colors white, cream, pink and yellow. However, a few varieties are also able to show off their bright colors in pink, orange and red in the late hour. This includes, for example, the gold lacquer.
The white night bloomers include the famous Snow White roses, oleanders, daisies and dahlias. But there are also hanging begonias, fuchsias, hydrangeas, snowflakes and a few more.
Hint:
Night-blooming water lilies are particularly impressive in a garden pond, such as "Red Flare" (red flowering), "Texas Shell pink" (pink) and "Wood's White Knight" (white, very large, spherical flower) .
➤ Particularly wonderfully scented night bloomers
Angel's trumpet and white lily are certainly among the most intensive night scents. They combine a proud-looking blossom splendor with a sweet fragrance component. But also the white honeysuckle, the ornamental tobacco, levkojen and the starry gladiolus spread a fine smelling scent in the garden at night.
Hint:
The white "moon flower", a graceful climbing plant, is ideal for growing on pergola and patio protection.
➤Night-Scented Spice Plants
But some herbs also appeal to our sense of smell, especially at night. These include, for example, wild marjoram, lemon balm, mint or purple chives.
Hint:
Just plant some chives in small pots and use them as table decorations at night, for example at a barbecue party. Your guests will be amazed by this decoration.
➤ Night flowering potted plants for the conservatory
And even in a conservatory, it is easily possible to effectively place night-blooming plants (potted plants) all year round. The “queen of the night” (cactus of the year 2009) is well suited for this, but it only unfolds its full splendor for a few hours.
The angel's trumpet, the oleander, the moon flower and also some types of cacti are far better suited as wonderful night-blooming potted plants for the conservatory.
