Continuous flowering garden |
The device of such compositions requires a fairly large assortment of plants, selected so as not only to alternate in color, but also to create colorful combinations at any time of the growing season. The second difficulty lies in the fact that wilted flowers, yellowed and dried leaves should not be visible, otherwise all the pleasure from the plants blooming nearby will be lost. In our age, amateur flower growers have come to the conclusion that it is much easier and more efficient to arrange the corners of seasonal sound. The same mixborders, as well as flower beds, ridges, curbs; free compositions separately from spring, summer, autumn colors are distributed over the territory so that you can admire bright and delicate combinations. At the moment of flowering, each such corner, as it were, concentrates in itself the wealth that nature gives us at this time. And when the petals start flying around here, the bushes lose their shape, this does not bother or sadden us - after all, it has already flashed with colors and attracts a new "center of gravity" elsewhere in the garden.
Such flowers are dispersed in massifs, in groups in the garden — planted under trees, including fruit trees, near evergreen (Mahonia, Cossack juniper, mountain pine) or bushes flowering very early (forsythia, wolf). By the way, many of the first-borns of the flower kaleidoscope grow by self-seeding and perfectly tolerate partial shade formed by non-leafy or slightly green crowns. And it doesn't matter that there may be areas around
When creating a spring corner with an emphasis on tulips, they are planted quite often, after 12-15 cm. It is highly desirable to place low plants between them or in the foreground, creating an even floral carpet at the same time. More often than others, they take blue or purple viola (pansies), forget-me-not, snow-white arabis, daisy.In this way, you can arrange a flower bed, a rabatka, a border.
The combination of daffodils with a yellow center and thick blue muscari in the foreground is very elegant. Such a border can be the best garden decoration. The choice of plants is great, but if we talk about the main assortment, then you should definitely include primroses and incense. They are simple in culture and have, in addition to beautiful flowers, elegant, long-lasting foliage, and, alas, bulbous are devoid of this dignity. Numerous species of primroses and their hybrids are well known. With their help, you can fill the pauses between the peaks of flowering of daffodils, tulips, irises, poppies. Spring primroses, ear, kortuza form dense rugs of leaves and therefore are indispensable for arranging a good curb along the path. Whichever color change is in the background, primroses "keep" the shape of the flower garden until autumn. Well, besides, their flowers themselves are so fresh, varied in color, that they make colorful cheerful groups.
Small-toothed primrose (denticulate) with lilac balls of inflorescences on stems 30 cm high goes well with daffodils, blue muscari, white arabis, purple shaved, yellow perennial alimum rocky in picturesque spring compositions with boulders. In the spring corners, flowering shrubs play a special "solo". Their combination with bulbs and perennials makes an extraordinary impression. Even a simple planting of a dense purple horned violet under a pink terry cherry, low almonds, and a blue forget-me-not under a snow-white spirea bride creates the effect of spring prosperity. What can we say about more complex and sophisticated compositions! Garden calendar |
