The change of season is here! We did not want to miss the opportunity to show you the plants and flowers that are best adapted to this time of year in which many leaves begin to fall, while others remain with strength and color. Do you want to know which ones?
Summer is ending and many of us see how the flowers of our plants begin to fall. The days are getting shorter, the sunlight is less intense and the heat is conspicuous by its absence. A change of era that our green friends notice instantly. However, this does not imply that we cannot enjoy them as we would in spring. The fall months are also an ideal time to cultivate the beauty of flowers. We just need to know which are the plants that can better adapt to this colder and wetter period, but no less natural for that.
