The difference between summer jasmine and spring jasmine

The difference between dry skin

Friends who have looked at the winter jasmine carefully may find that there is a red blush on the trunk of the winter jasmine, but the trunk of the summer jasmine is only gray-brown and has no blush. So more professional friends can probably tell them apart just by looking at the trunks. However, friends who have no experience can also look for differences in other aspects.

Different flowering periods

This is the most obvious difference, and they are named after this. The flowering period of Forsythia jasminoides is from February to April, and it is a plant that blooms first and then produces leaves; the flowering period of Forsythia jasminoides is in late spring, which is in May, and the order in which flowers and leaves appear is opposite to that of Forsythia jasminoides.

Flowering location

The flowers of Forsythia jasminoides are solitary, blooming on the branches of the previous year, and the corolla lobes are shorter than the tube; while the flowers of Forsythia jasminoides are terminal cymes, and the corolla lobes are about half the length of the tube.

Differences in growth habits

Summer jasmine is highly adaptable and easy to cultivate. It prefers a warm sunny location, but can also grow well in a semi-shaded location. It cannot stand temperatures as low as -8 degrees Celsius, so it is best to move it indoors for maintenance.

Forsythia is relatively cold-resistant and afraid of waterlogging, but it can be planted directly outdoors in North China and does not need to be placed indoors. They tend to grow poorly in alkaline soil, so they must be grown in slightly acidic soil. As long as the branches hang down to the ground, they will easily take root.

Okay, now everyone can distinguish these two kinds of flowers. There are many plants in life that look similar to them. As long as we discover and understand them carefully, we can easily distinguish them. Being good at seeking help is also a good way to solve problems!
