In the first you can plant Brunfelsia latifolia.. it is available at the nurseries on Korangi Road by the name of Brunfelsia.. it is a fragrant plant and the flowers change color every day until they fall...

In the second you can plant Cane begonias, they are available in the nursery of Liaquat National hospital...

These are easy plants but require some inorganic fertilizers for better blooming and growth. It is suggested to buy any balanced chemical fertilizer and use 1/4th of the recommended concentration weekly.. for Brunfelsia, it is recommended to buy Ferrous Sulfate and use 1 teaspoon in 2 liter of water every month..

Yes, but the blooming will be less compared to summer season, Korangi Road starts from FTC building, the same which has Akhtar colony and Axact roundabout in the end..
