Re: Plant for pot
Get some plants of Vinca, they have tendency to die if exposed to heavy rains but some may survive and still be in bloom in August.
The other is Cocks comb it is easy to grow and would be there in flower in August.
Thanks for the massage

Re: Plant for pot
As suggested by a brother I think Balsam is a beautiful plant too with good looking stem,leaves,flowers and grows fast,flowers in august.
Please tell me should I put Niazbo pot in sun or under shade and is it watered once daily or twice daily?

Re: Plant for pot
In my opinion local Vinca (Sadda Bahhar) would be best for the school project of your child.

Problem of leaf miners resolved after I removed effected leaves 2-3 times.
Please tell should I transfer grown up plant to a bigger sized container?

Re: Plant for pot
Yes you can transfer it to bigger pot, pinch the tips of plant to make it more bushy..
