Fiddle-Leaf Fig
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig is a beautiful flower that starts with the letter “F”. This flower is known for its large, distinctive leaves that are shaped like a violin. The Fiddle-Leaf Fig is native to the tropical regions of Africa and Asia. This flower is a popular houseplant and is grown for its ornamental value.
Appearance
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 feet tall. It has large, dark green leaves that are shaped like a fiddle or violin. The tree is native to tropical regions of Africa, but it can be grown in any climate.
Location
The fiddle-leaf fig is a popular houseplant due to its large, glossy leaves. It is native to Western Africa and requires warm temperatures and high humidity to thrive. These plants can grow up to 3 feet tall and should be placed in a bright location.
Care
Fiddle-leaf figs are tropical plants that thrive in warm, humid environments. If you live in a temperate climate, you can still grow a fiddle-leaf fig, but it will require some extra care.
Fiddle-leaf figs need bright, indirect light to thrive. If your home doesn’t get a lot of natural light, you can place your plant near a south-facing window. If direct sunlight hits the leaves of your fiddle-leaf fig, it can scorch them.
When it comes to watering, fiddle-leaf figs like to be kept moist but not wet. The best way to water a fiddle-leaf fig is to let the top inch of soil dry out between watering. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water your plant once a week. In the winter, when the plant is dormant, you can reduce watering to once every two weeks.
If you want to fertilize your fiddle-leaf fig, use abalanced fertilizer that’s low in nitrogen. Fertilize monthly during the growing season and every six weeks in the winter.
Forsythia
Forsythia is a genus of about 11 species of flowering plants in the family Oleaceae. Most of its species are native to Eastern Asia and one to Europe. Forsythia Suspensa is the national flower of South Korea. The Forsythia plant blooms in early spring and its flowers start to fade by summer.
Appearance
The forsythia bush is known for its profusion of vibrant yellow flowers, which bloom in early spring before the plant’s leaves appear. Some varieties of forsythia also produce white or pink flowers. The blooms are followed by small, green berries that are not edible. Forsythia bushes can grow to be quite large, reaching heights of 10 feet (3 m) or more.
Location
Forsythia is a genus of flowering plants in the olive family. These cheerful yellow flowers are some of the first to appear in spring and they are a welcome sight after a long winter. Forsythia bushes are easy to grow and they make great specimen plants or hedges.
There are about 11 species of forsythia, but the most common one is Forsythia suspensa, also known as the weeping forsythia. This deciduous shrub is native to China and it can grow to be 20 feet (6 meters) tall. The branches of this plant droop down, giving it a weeping appearance.
Care
Forsythia are reliable, vigorous shrubs that are generally easy to grow. They flower on old wood, so pruning immediately after flowering will result in the loss of next year’s flowers. If a plant is getting too large, it can be cut back hard in late winter or early spring, as this will not affect the following year’s flowering.
Foxglove
Foxgloves are one of the most popular flowers that start with the letter F. Foxgloves are known for their tall spires of bell-shaped flowers. Foxgloves are also very easy to grow and make a great addition to any garden.
Appearance
Foxgloves are perfect for adding vertical interest to the garden. They come in a range of colors including white, yellow, pink, purple, and bi-colored flowers. The blooms are borne on spikes that can reach up to 4 feet in height. Each individual bloom is tubular in shape and has spots on the inside. The flowers attract bees and other pollinators. Foxgloves bloom from early summer to early fall.
Location
Foxgloves are native to Europe, North America, and Asia.
Care
Provide foxgloves with moist, well-drained soil. They will bloom best in partial shade, but will also tolerate full sun in cooler climates. After the plants have flowered, cut back the stems to encourage bushier growth and a possible second flush of blooms later in the season.
