kesäkasvit

Kesäkasvit are a category of plants cultivated for their vibrant display during the summer months. These plants are typically annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle within a single growing season, or tender perennials that are treated as annuals in climates with frost. They are popular for adding color and life to gardens, balconies, and window boxes.

The selection of kesäkasvit is vast, encompassing a wide range of species chosen for their ability to thrive in warmer weather and their often spectacular blooms. Common examples include petunias, marigolds, geraniums, impatiens, and zinnias. These plants generally require ample sunlight, regular watering, and well-drained soil to flourish. Their blooming period usually extends from late spring or early summer until the first frost of autumn.

Kesäkasvit serve various horticultural purposes. They are excellent for filling gaps in perennial borders, creating striking container displays, and providing a quick and effective way to brighten outdoor spaces. Their relatively short lifespan also makes them ideal for seasonal decorating, allowing for frequent changes in color schemes and plant combinations throughout the summer. Many varieties are also attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to garden biodiversity.
