Lily LiLium

Lilies need six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. The stems will try to slant toward the sun or become spindly and topple over if it's too shady and are propagated by seeds. The monsoon and spring seasons are the best times for lily blooming. White, yellow, pink, red, and orange lilies are the most common. Lilies prefer temperatures between 18 and 22 °C during the day and 10 °C or less at night. For soil, sterile soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 is ideal.

Marigold TageTes

Marigolds thrive in full sunlight and can often withstand extremely hot summers, but they also grow well in temperatures ranging from 18 to 20 degrees. Marigolds are prone to not blooming well when planted in shade and cool, moist areas. Marigolds grow in almost any soil, but they prosper in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. They are also known as October birth plants.

Lavender LavanduLa

Lavenders can grow to be 2-3 feet tall. They bloom the most from June to August. Lavender is available in a variety of colours ( Lavender, deep blue-purple, light pink, white). It thrives in cooler temperatures(20-30 degrees). Lavender needs well-drained soil, especially in the winter. Lavender thrives in sandy soil. Overwatering, too much shade, and high humidity levels are the most likely causes of your lavender’s failure to thrive.

Daffodil narcissus

Daffodils are typically planted in October, with blooms appearing in late winter or early spring. Except in the hottest and wettest areas, most daffodils grow quickly. Daffodils look great planted between shrubs, in a border, or even in pots. Daffodils prefer full sun, but will grow in partial shade. They can grow in any soil, but they prefer slightly acidic soil with good drainage.
