Differences in growth habits

The trunks are red in spring and gray-brown in summer. The jasmine flowering period is from February to April, and the plants bloom first and then leave leaves; the jasmine flowering period is in late spring in May, and the flowers and leaves appear in the opposite order to jasmine. The flowers in spring are solitary and bloom on the branches of the previous year; in summer they are terminal cymes, and the corolla lobes are about half of the tube.

Differences in dry bark

Friends who have carefully looked at the tree trunks in the Spring Festival may find that the trunks in the Spring Festival have red spots, but the trunks in the Summer Festival are only gray-brown and have no halo. Therefore, more professional friends can probably distinguish them just by looking at the trunks. But inexperienced friends can also look for differences in other aspects.

The flowering periods are different

This is the most obvious difference, and it is precisely because of this that they are named. The flowering period of Yingchun is from February to April, and the plants bloom first and then leave leaves. The flowering period of Yingxia is in late spring, that is, in May, and the flowers and leaves appear in the opposite order to that of Yingchun.

Blooming position

The flowers in spring are solitary, blooming on the branches of the previous year, and the corolla lobes are shorter than the tube; while in summer they are terminal cymes, and the corolla lobes are about half as long as the tube.

Growth habits Difference

It has strong adaptability to summer and is relatively easy to cultivate. They prefer a warmer sunny position, but they can also grow well in a semi-shady position, and can grow well when the temperature is as low as -8 degrees Celsius. It will be unbearable, so it is best to move it indoors for maintenance at this time;

Yingchun is more cold-resistant and afraid of waterlogging. However, in North China, it can be grown directly outside and does not need to be placed indoors at all. They tend to grow poorly in alkaline soil, so be sure to use slightly acidic soil for cultivation. As long as the branches hang down to the ground, they will take root easily.

Okay Now you can distinguish these two kinds of flowers clearly. There are many similar plants in life. As long as we discover and understand them carefully, we can easily distinguish them and be good at asking for help. What a great way to solve the problem!
