5 Plants Perfect for Green Roofs

Gardenia jasminoides

The flower language of gardenia is really beautiful - eternal love and promise.

Plant a few gardenia trees on the roof and enjoy the small white flowers, which are beautiful and fragrant from spring to summer. There is a bamboo chair next to it, where you can read books or drink tea, which is very elegant.

The flowers of small-leaf gardenia can be used to make spice for tea, and the fruit has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving fire. It is also very easy to cultivate. It likes acidic soil. In daily maintenance, pay attention to keeping the potting soil and surrounding air moist, pay attention to temperature changes and shade, and you can enjoy the elegant fragrance of the flowers!

Rose

If you want your garden to be vibrant and lively, planting roses on the roof is the best choice.

Roses have beautiful appearance and various postures. Each flower or a bunch of flowers are colorful and stunning. Red represents pure love; orange represents the breath of youth; pink represents first love; white represents respect and loftiness; blue represents preciousness; green represents innocence and a pure heart.

Rose cultivation is very convenient. It does not have too many requirements for soil and climate. It prefers a warm and ventilated environment, so planting it on the roof is perfect.

Lavender

Lavender always gives people a dreamy feeling, and its noble blue-purple color is always unforgettable.

Lavender always makes people feel reserved and resolute. These two contradictory extremes, when colliding together, are more like a passionate and touching love that goes through hardships and finally holds hands.

I don’t know if you have watched the TV series of the same name as Lavender. The scenes in it are magnificent, especially the large areas of lavender in the glass house, which are really beautiful.

Choose a rectangular flower box and plant a whole strip of lavender. Whether it is reflected against the sky or connected with your fantasy on the roof, I believe you will feel wonderful about having lavender in your garden.

Magnolia

Pure petals, faint fragrance, each blooming flower is like a fairy descending from the sky, unaware of the worldly affairs, pure and elegant.

Magnolia is an ideal flower for beautifying a garden and is also excellent for rooftop planting. Magnolia flowers like warmth and are cold-resistant. They can overwinter in the open field and have a certain purifying effect on harmful gases. Imagine that you are lying on the roof, looking at the clouds and the breeze, feeling the faint fragrance of flowers and the fresh air. Isn’t it intoxicating?

Evening Primrose

Evening primrose is highly adaptable, drought-resistant and cold-resistant, making it a very convenient choice for rooftop planting. You can enjoy its fresh flowers without elaborate care, and when paired with other flowers and plants, it looks like a cute and playful girl next door.

It is said that when a girl gives evening primrose to a boy, it implies secret love for him. Isn’t that interesting?

In addition, there are many plants suitable for planting on the roof. I believe that everyone who is passionate about life will take good care of his or her garden. Finally, I would like to use an adapted line of lyrics to wish everyone, may your life not only have the present, but also the sky on the roof and the dazzling garden.
