Recently, petunia has become one of the most popular plants for summer cottages and gardens.

At the same time, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds, there are other, no less beautiful flowers, which are much easier to care for.

Which ones exactly? Here are their names: nemesia and catharanthus - these two flowers can easily outshine petunia with their beauty.

The seeds of these plants are larger, which makes sowing and caring for the seedlings easier. In addition, they bloom from early spring to late autumn.

Their advantages don't end there.

Nemesia can be grown as an annual or perennial flower, so you have the option of decorating your flower beds with it or growing it in pots, depending on the variety you choose.

Catharanthus will also delight you for many years.

A small note: since this plant has low winter hardiness, it would be better if you bring it indoors in a pot for the winter.
