Flowering shrubs in spring. Perennial shrubs for the garden and dacha: names with photos Shrub with pink flowers

Plant forsythia (lat. Forsythia), or forsythia- a genus of small trees and shrubs of the Olive family, flowering early spring bright yellow flowers. The genus of forsythia is very ancient, and this is confirmed by its scattered natural habitat growth: six species of forsythia grow in East Asia (Japan, Korea, China), while in Europe forsythia flowers, represented by the only species of European forsythia (Forsythia europaea), bloom mainly in the Balkans, although I was first struck by blooming forsythia in mid-March in Germany . The forsythia flower was named in honor of William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist, head gardener at Kensington Palace and one of the founders of the Royal Horticultural Society. It was Forsyth who brought the first forsythia bush to Europe from China.

Planting and caring for forsythia (in brief)

• Landing: in spring or early autumn.
• Bloom: 10-14 days in early spring.
• Lighting: bright sun or partial shade.
• Soil: dry, slightly alkaline or neutral.
• Watering: during dry seasons 1-2 times a month. Water consumption is 10-12 liters for each bush.

Forsythia shrub - description

Forsythia, as already mentioned, is a small tree or bush with a height of one to three meters. The bark has a rough texture and a gray-brown tint. The leaves of some species are trifoliate, but in most forsythia they are simple, without stipules, opposite, oval in shape with jagged edges, from two to fifteen centimeters long. Bell-shaped flowers are bright yellow. Forsythia blooms in early spring and lasts up to three weeks, sometimes even longer. The fruit is a capsule with winged seeds.

Features of growing forsythia

Today it is impossible to imagine city streets, squares and private gardens in Europe without forsythia, and primarily because it is the symbol of the arrival of spring. On the gray, still winter streets, the yellow flame of forsythia flowers suddenly begins to blaze, and the townspeople, yearning for warmth and greenery, perked up and begin to prepare for spring. This early flowering of forsythia is a property that distinguishes it from other shrubs. What adds to its popularity is its undemanding nature in terms of care and location. What are the characteristics of this shrub, popular among gardeners, in care and cultivation?

• Forsythia love light, but also grow in the shade.
• The soil for the plant needs to be limed.
• Forsythia looks most impressive against the background of dark green conifers.
• In autumn, the green leaves of forsythia turn golden or purple-violet, and it again attracts attention with its bright, variegated flame.

Planting forsythia

When to Plant Forsythia

Planting and replanting of forsythia is carried out in spring or early autumn, before the onset of frost, so that the plant has time to take root before winter. For this, choose a site protected from the wind in the sun or partial shade - although forsythia is shade-tolerant, it loves light. The plant is undemanding in terms of soil composition, but it grows best in slightly alkaline dry soils.

If the pH level in the area is shifted to the acidic side, it is better to dig up the soil with wood ash in advance.

How to plant forsythia

The holes for forsythia should be 50x50x60 in size so that the root ball after planting is at a depth of 30-40 cm. If you are planting several bushes, then dig holes for them at a distance of one and a half meters from each other. Before planting, it is necessary to fill the holes with a drainage layer of broken brick or crushed stone 15-20 cm thick, then a ten-centimeter layer of sand, then a mixture leaf soil, sand and peat in a ratio of 2:1:1 and 200 g of wood ash. Forsythia seedlings are lowered into a hole, covered with earth, which is then compacted, and watered abundantly.

If you planted forsythia in the spring, then in the future it will require regular care from you. Autumn planting and caring for forsythia is somewhat more complicated: they require mandatory mulching of the area, regardless of the type of plant you planted. The covering material must be breathable so that during short thaws in winter the flower buds do not rot under it.

Forsythia care

How to care for forsythia

Caring for forsythia is not much different from caring for any garden bush. If there is sufficient precipitation in the summer, the plant does not need watering, but if the summer turns out to be dry, then the forsythia will have to be watered at least once or twice a month at the rate of 10-12 liters for each bush. After watering, you need to loosen the soil and remove weeds, and you need to loosen it to the depth of a spade bayonet to ensure air access to the roots of the plant. After loosening, the tree trunk circle is mulched with compost or dry soil.

Planting and caring for lilacs - detailed information

Forsythia is fertilized three times per season: in early spring, a thick layer of rotted manure is spread around the tree trunk, but not close to the branches and trunk, then watered abundantly. Manure will serve as both mulch and organic nutrition for the plant. In April, complete mineral fertilizer is applied to the soil at the rate of 60-70 g per 1 m². After flowering, when the plant lays flower buds for the next year, forsythia is fed with all-purpose kemira at the rate of 100-120 g per 1 m².

Forsythia propagation

Forsythia is most often propagated vegetatively. For example, green cuttings about 15 cm long, which are best cut in June. The lower leaves are removed, and the cuttings, having previously been treated with a root formation stimulator (root, epin or heteroauxin), are planted under a greenhouse in perlite or sand.

You can root and lignified cuttings, cut in October, and plant them directly in the ground in the garden, leaving two or three buds above the surface. You just need to cover the cuttings with dry leaves for the winter. In the spring, when you remove the cover, the established cuttings will begin to grow, and by autumn you will get beautiful seedlings.

Growing Thunberg barberry is a decoration for any garden

Forsythia is also propagated layering: In summer or autumn, bend the lower young shoot to the ground, having first pulled it at the base with wire and cut the bark on the side that lies on the ground, secure it, sprinkle it with fertile soil, and the shoot will very soon form roots. In the spring, cut this branch from the bush, and the next year the young plant will bloom.

Forsythia also reproduces in a generative way, that is, by seeds, but this is a conversation for specialists.

Pruning forsythia

Young forsythia bushes are subjected only to sanitary pruning - frozen, shriveled or broken shoots are removed. In adult plants, the frozen ends of the branches are cut off in the spring, but the main pruning is carried out in the summer, when flowering ends: faded branches are shortened by half, old and dried ones are cut off at a height of 4-6 cm from the soil level, and then they will grow side shoots. Pruning also helps to regulate the density, height and shape of the bush - cupped or spherical.

If you need to rejuvenate your mature forsythia, then it is best to trim all branches to a height of 4-6 cm, or at least 2/3, in order to stimulate the growth of young shoots. But you should not overuse such haircuts, because as a result the bush will grow stronger, but will stop blooming. Forsythia should be rejuvenated so that it does not lose its decorative qualities no more often than once every 3-4 years.

Pests and diseases of forsythia

This shrub is resistant to both pests and diseases, but is sometimes affected by wilting, moniliosis and bacteriosis. Wilting is treated by spraying with a two to five percent solution. Planting white dogwood, but there is no escape from bacteriosis, and the bush will have to be dug up along with its roots and destroyed. Moniliosis is expressed by the appearance brown spots on the leaves. In case of illness, you need to cut out and clean all the affected areas to healthy tissue.

Forsythia sometimes has problems due to nematodes, and then the soil has to be disinfected with carbation.

Forsythia after flowering and wilting

To protect forsythia from winter frosts, the tree trunk circle is covered with a ten-centimeter layer of dry foliage, the branches are bent to the ground and pinned, and covered with spruce branches on top. In early spring, the shelter is removed, the branches are detached, and dry leaves are removed from the trunk. Young plants are completely covered with spruce branches for the winter. In snowy winters, forsythia overwinters well even without shelter, but who knows in advance what kind of winter it will be?

• Composition and type required soil for planting (although you can always additionally fill the planting hole with the required soil mixture).
• The dimensions of the bush, its height and volume of leaf mass. The perennial should fit well into the space allocated to it on the site.
• Timing and duration of flowering. It is ideal to plant flowers and shrubs in the garden that will bloom throughout the summer season.

From rose bushes you can make a first-class and virtually impenetrable hedge.

Decorating a personal plot almost always involves planting flowers, trees and small shrubs, which will not only become decoration, but will also be able to produce a harvest of berries and fruits. But quite often landscape design involves planting plants to create exclusive displays of ornamental trees and shrubs that will stand out in the general plan of green spaces. An example would be trees and shrubs with yellow leaves and flowers.

Trees with yellow leaves

It has long been accepted that trees are green crowns. But in nature there are also ones with yellow leaves. These ornamental plants will make the landscape composition personal plot not only diverse, but also quite original.

Aquilegia remains decorative throughout the season not only due to the original shape of the flowers, but also due to the openwork leaves.

Viola), or pansies, are simply irreplaceable in the flower garden. If you are a beginner gardener and don’t know where to start, then viola is the flower for you. It is easy to grow yourself from seeds. It is unpretentious to soils and grows well in sunny places. Since viola is a short plant, and treating the soil against weeds is a little difficult, immediately after planting the viola in the soil, mulch the plantings with a high layer of freshly cut chopped grass, this will help retain moisture in the soil. Humus can be used as mulch; it will serve as additional nutrition for the viola. It should be remembered that viola cannot be fertilized with fresh manure.

It will look great not only in group plantings. It can be planted at the foot of shrubs, such as roses. For a yellow-flowering flower bed, you can use viola varieties: Rhine Gold, Golden Crown.

Heliopsis rough(Heliorsis scabra) loves slightly moist soil. Heliopsis is a perennial that is easy to grow from seeds, but in this case it will not bloom until the next year. Heliopsis is not picky about soil, but if you have close groundwater on your site, you need good drainage. Heliopsis blooms at the end of June and can bloom until the end of September, provided you feed it. Heliopsis easily tolerates transplantation. Heliopsis Spitzeniazerin 130 cm high has bright yellow semi-double inflorescences.

Perennial ten-petalled sunflower(Helianthus decaretalus) can grow up to two meters. Recommended varieties of perennial sunflowers: Soleil d'Or and Saranok Star. If you cannot find perennial sunflowers, you can replace them with annual varieties of not only decorative, but also ordinary sunflowers. Watching sunflowers bloom is a pleasure.

Clematis)- a perennial herbaceous or woody (liana) plant. Clematis heat-loving plant, so it needs shelter for the winter. To plant clematis, you need to choose a sunny place, the soil for clematis should be well fertilized. Remember that clematis do not tolerate acidic soils and need good drainage. Clematis can also be a soloist on the site, and also serve as an excellent addition to climbing roses.

If you find it difficult to prune clematis and cover them for the winter, plant clematis that are pruned into a stump in the fall and grow back in the spring and bloom all summer. Clematis “Radar of Love” and “Helios” fit all parameters.

14. Helenium

Helenium(Helenium)- a perennial plant that prefers calcareous, moderately moist fertile soils. With small waterings, it is necessary to mulch helenium plantings. Depending on the variety, Helenium ranges in height from 20 to 180 cm. Helenium - autumn flower, blooms in August-September. Helenium is especially bright on cloudy days. rainy weather when it starts to rain in the morning. Helenium inflorescences will delight you until frost.

Recommended varieties of helenium: Waltraut, about one meter high, with golden-brown inflorescences-baskets and Kanari with yellow ones. In late autumn, helenium shoots should be cut off at soil level, the rhizomes should be covered with spruce branches and polyethylene film to prevent the helenium rhizomes from dampening off.

One of the most popular garden perennials is rudbeckia (Rudbeckia). The garden form of rudbeckia dissected with double spherical golden-yellow inflorescences is known in Russia as the Golden Ball. The rudbeckia variety "Goldstrum" is 60 cm tall and has golden yellow inflorescences with a black center.

Not picky about soil, very responsive to fertilizing. It reproduces well by seeds and by dividing the rhizome in spring and autumn. Blooms in July-August. Faded inflorescences can be torn off to prolong flowering, or you can leave them: firstly, its black button heads do not spoil the appearance of the flower garden, and secondly, the rudbeckia seeds will ripen, and you will have many rudbeckia seedlings, which you can always exchange with friends . If you plant rudbeckia in your garden, you will not regret it! There are also annual varieties of rudbeckia.

16. Goldenrod, or solidago

Already shining from afar yellow unpretentious goldenrod, or golden rod(Solidago). Its variety “Strahlenkrone” reaches a height of 60 cm, “Golden Shower” - 80 cm.

All goldenrods— the plants are very unpretentious and very responsive to the application of mineral fertilizers. In the first year of planting, solidago needs weeding and watering during drought, in subsequent years they are no longer afraid of anything, they are almost not even affected by pests and diseases.

Prefers moist soil and partial shade buzulnik(Ligularia). Its hybrid variety "Weihenstephan" grows up to 180 cm, has very large inflorescences-baskets, collected in a large spike.

Buzulniks grow well in moist, well-drained soils, but otherwise they are not picky about soil. You can place the buzulnik next to a pond, where it can become the center of the composition. If there is no pond on the site, then it is better to plant the buzulnik in partial shade, since in sunny, windy places the decorativeness of the buzulnik is reduced. In one place without transplantation, buzulnik can grow for a very long time, up to twenty years. Easily propagated by dividing rhizomes and seeds. Buzulnik is practically not damaged by diseases and pests, and has high winter hardiness.

18. Yarrow

Yarrow (Achillea)- a plant that should not be neglected when planting flower beds. Its proximity to other flowers is very useful: it turned out that yarrow has the ability to extract certain microelements from the soil, including sulfur, and stimulate their absorption by neighboring plants.

Among yarrows, there are low-growing varieties that are convenient to use in mixborders, and tall ones that are used for cutting. Yarrow grows well in poor and even rocky soils. The only condition for growing yarrow should be the presence of good drainage; if moisture stagnates in the soil, the yarrow will disappear.

For a yellow-flowering garden it is better to use yarrow meadowsweet (A. filipendulina). It remains decorative throughout the season not only thanks to its dense yellow inflorescences, but also to its silvery carved openwork leaves. Among the many varieties and hybrids of meadowsweet yarrow, you can find shades of yellow to suit any, even the most sophisticated taste, from canary, lemon yellow, gray-yellow, the color of a pale moon to dark yellow, and even the color of ancient gold. The best varietiesyarrowmeadowsweet: Coronation Gold, Altgold , Gold Plate, Cloth of Gold. It is advisable to plant all yarrows in the open sunny place, where they will be fully revealed decorative qualities.

19. Korean chrysanthemum

Among perennial chrysanthemums there are a lot of different highly decorative varieties. I would like to focus only on Korean chrysanthemums. Not only do they grow quickly and have time to bloom in the short summer of central Russia, they are drought-resistant, but they are also easier to care for, unlike other types of chrysanthemums.

All korean chrysanthemums very light-loving. Sunny places protected from northern winds are best suited for chrysanthemums. The optimal soil pH reaction for chrysanthemums is (6.0 - 6.5), that is, the soil should be neutral. To reduce the acidity of the soil, you need to add dolomite flour and fluff lime in the fall. To increase acidity, you can add peat to the soil. Drainage is important for chrysanthemums. If groundwater is too close, chrysanthemums will not survive the winter. In Korean chrysanthemums, mass flowering begins in August-September.

In spring and early summer, humus, diluted bird droppings, cow manure, and nitrogen fertilizers can be used as fertilizing. In June, pinch chrysanthemums. During the budding period of Korean chrysanthemums, as well as during flowering, it is necessary to fertilize with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. If all the conditions for caring for chrysanthemums are done correctly, then due to the abundance of flowers on Korean chrysanthemums, leaves will not be visible!

After flowering, in autumn, chrysanthemums need to be pruned. The rhizomes of Korean chrysanthemums need to be slightly covered with spruce branches and dry leaves. As a shelter, you can use humus, dry peat, a layer of soil, non-woven material— agrospan.

20. St. John's wort

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) - herbaceous perennial plant. St. John's wort is completely unpretentious, it winters well, is not picky about soil, and easily tolerates drought. It can grow both in sunny places and in partial shade. The only thing it cannot stand is stagnation of water in the soil. On fertile soils, and with fertilizing, St. John's wort will give you a whole scattering of bright golden-yellow flowers! Do not forget to pick off the faded inflorescences of St. John's wort for further flowering. However, St. John's wort can also be used as a medicinal plant: then, at the height of flowering, cut off the flowering shoots and dry them. St. John's wort infusions help with sore throat, stomach pain, and abdominal colic.

21. Evening primrose

Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), or oslinnik, is a biennial tall plant. Evening primrose grows well in dry, infertile soils containing lime. Evening primrose should be planted in elevated places, because there is a threat of damping off of the root rosettes of evening primrose in the spring from melt water. If underground water is located close to the site, then you need to take care of drainage.

Evening primrose missouri (Oenotheramissuris)- perennial ground cover plant. Evening primrose Missouri grows well in light, well-drained, nutrient-rich soils with a neutral soil pH (6.0-6.5).

Missouri evening primrose is used to decorate rocky gardens and mixed borders; it looks great in group plantings. The flowers of the new variety of evening primrose African Sun open throughout the daylight hours from June to October. Thanks to such a long flowering period and very bright flower colors, this variety of evening primrose has a chance to take a strong place in the summer flower assortment. In the fall, the stems of Missouri evening primrose need to be pruned at the root.

22. Delphinium

Delphinium (Delphinium)- a perennial, without which it is difficult to imagine a modern garden, it is so popular among gardeners. If previously there were only blue, light blue, white, and pink delphiniums, now new varieties of perennial delphiniums with yellow flowers have been developed.

Delphiniums grow well in fertile, well-drained soils with a neutral soil reaction. Delphiniums are very responsive to fertilizers. In the spring, at the beginning of the growing season, they need to be fed with nitrogen fertilizers in order to grow a tall and beautiful peduncle. During the budding period and during flowering, fertilizing is done with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. For delphiniums, it is best to choose a place in the background of the flower garden, otherwise they may obscure other, more low plants. After flowering, remove all faded delphinium flower stalks and then in August-September the delphinium will bloom again.

Delphiniums winter well even without light shelter. Every three to four years, do not forget to divide the rhizome. Delphinium is easily affected by fusarium, which is why its flower stalks can fall. Therefore, as soon as the lower leaves of the delphinium begin to turn yellow, treat the plant with foundationazole, phytosporin, and Maxim.

23. Chilean Gravilate

Chilean Gravilate (Geum quellyon)- perennial herbaceous plant. Chilean gravilate grows well in open sunny places, but also tolerates partial shade, with well-drained soil, is very responsive to watering, resistant to temporary drought, blooms from June to August. But for the winter it is recommended to organize a light cover with leaves or covering material. Recommended varieties of Chilean gravilata with yellow flowers: Goldball, Lady Stratheden.

24. Lily

Lily (Lilium)- a perennial bulbous plant, the variety of species and varieties of which makes your head spin: there are so many of them. The most unpretentious lilies for the climate of central Russia are Asian hybrids, as they can winter without shelter. Other types and varieties of lilies need light shelter.

Lilies grow well in light, fertile soil. If the soil is clayey, add humus, sand, and perlite. Drain or drain nearby groundwater from the area where lilies grow. Best place for lilies - sunny, since in the shade flowering will be more sparse. Lilies do not tolerate fresh manure and nitrogen fertilizers. For feeding, it is better to use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Once every four years, lilies need to be transplanted and divided.

25. Yellow gentian

Gentian yellow (Gentiana lutea)- a perennial plant reaching up to one meter in height. Gentians are plants that grow well in acidic soils. They can be planted in company with rhododendrons and azaleas. Growing gentians on your property will require a lot of patience and care, especially for tall types of gentians.

Yellow gentian has a tap root, so they plant small ones if possible, and two- and three-year-old plants are no longer replanted. But where yellow gentian feels at home, it becomes one of the most durable garden perennials. In natural natural environment plants are known to be 60 years old. Plants grown from seeds will bloom in about twelve years.

26. Snapdragon

Snapdragon (Antirrhinum) — perennial herbaceous plant. For snapdragon Fertile, loose soil without stagnant moisture is suitable.

If on your site clay soil, add more organic matter, peat, sand to it in order to make the soil looser and eliminate stagnation of excess moisture. If your site has sandy loam soil, add black soil, rotted organic matter, leaf soil, try to improve the structure of the soil so that it can retain water and remain moist longer. Watering the snapdragon is carried out only after the top layer of soil has dried.

It is better to choose a sunny place for snapdragons, but snapdragons also grow well in partial shade. Snapdragon blooms from June to October, just do not forget to fertilize with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers in time and remove faded inflorescences so that the snapdragon does not stop flowering.

27. Peony

Peony (Paeonia)- a perennial herbaceous rhizomatous plant. Peonies can grow in almost all types of soil, but the best soils for peonies are cultivated, well-drained and fairly moisture-absorbing loams. The reaction of the medium should be closer to neutral (pH no less than 6 and no more than 7, preferably 6.5).

Choosing a place to plant peonies is of utmost importance. Peonies are light-loving plants, so the site should be sunny, open for air circulation, but at the same time protected from the prevailing winds. Peonies should not be planted near buildings; it can be too dry and hot near the wall, and near trees, they will draw moisture and nutrients onto themselves.

It is also important for peony correct landing: The buds should be at soil level. Every three to four years, do not forget to divide the peony rhizome. Yellow peony (Paeonialutea)- no longer a rarity in our gardens.

28. Swimsuit

Swimsuit (Trollius)- a perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant. The most suitable soils for growing swimsuits are light, medium loamy, structural, with a high humus content. Swimworts grow well on neutral soils. They winter well without shelter. In one place without transplanting, swimsuits can grow for a long time and do not like frequent transplants.

It is good to plant the swimsuit next to a body of water, since in nature swimsuits grow along the banks of rivers and ponds. The swimsuit can quite keep the buzulnik company.

29. Anemone

Anemone (Anemone)- a perennial herbaceous rhizomatous plant. Anemones multiply quickly and form extensive curtains. Anemones, or spring anemones, grow well in light, moist soils with a high humus content. Moreover, soil moisture must be maintained throughout the growing season, even after the above-ground part of the plant dies. Anemones grow better on calcareous soils, so ash or dolomite flour must be periodically added to the soil where anemones grow. Anemones easily reproduce by root suckers; with regular watering, anemones will easily take root in a new place.

30. Eremurus

Eremurus (Eremurus)- tall herbaceous plants, representatives of the highlands, but have proven themselves well in our country middle lane Russia. The main condition for growing eremurus is the presence of well-drained areas with light soil.

I read a lot about them, that Eremurus are very capricious, they can get wet or freeze out, but my Eremurus has been living with me for five years. I found a place for him high flower bed, so water never stays there. Overwinters without shelter. Every year my eremurus adds one peduncle. Maintenance is minimal, I only try to fertilize with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizers become destructive for most flowers: they cause rot of shoots and buds, so I don’t use pure nitrogen fertilizers on the site at all.

In some species of Eremurus, peduncles reach three meters, one and a half of which are spike-shaped inflorescences. Eremurus begins to bloom from below, gradually rising upward. The Eremurus inflorescence seems to be burning from the bottom up! And it blooms for more than a month, so there’s plenty to enjoy!

31. Ranunculus

Ranunculus (Ranunculus)- or garden buttercups, very beautiful tuberous plants. Be sure to find a place in the garden for buttercups. Ranunculus prefer sunny, not too damp, humus-rich soils.

Stagnant moisture leads to the development of root rot in ranunculi, so good drainage is the key to success in growing ranunculi. Ranunculus nodules are planted with their “claws” down to a depth of no more than five to eight centimeters, depending on the soil. Ranunculus are quite unpretentious.

They need to be watered moderately and periodically loosen the soil. Before flowering, it is a good idea to apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Remove faded flowers promptly. This provides long flowering ranunculus, which continues until the end of July. After flowering and the leaves die off, the ranunculus tubers are dug up and placed for the winter in a dry, frost-free room. During wintering, make sure that the ranunculus tubers do not dry out.

32. Dahlia

Dahlia (Dahlia)- a herbaceous tuberous plant that grows well and blooms profusely in an open sunny place with fertile loam and sufficient moisture. When growing dahlias, for better flowering, leave no more than three stems in the bush. If you leave more than three shoots, then the inflorescences on this dahlia bush will be much smaller, which is why the bush itself will be less decorative. Large bushes dahlias need support. When choosing dahlias, be guided by your requirements, since there are varieties of both tall dahlias and very small border ones.

When growing perennial dahlias, there is one thing: in our climate, dahlia tubers do not overwinter, so for the winter they need to be dug up and stored in dry, frost-free rooms. It’s good if such premises exist, but what should the townspeople do?

If you value dahlia varieties, then after the first frost, feel free to dig up the tubers, wash them well and dry them. Before storing them, treat the dahlia tubers with foundationazol, Maxim to prevent the development of rot, as well as phytoverm or actellik for pests. After this, place the dahlia tubers in a box with side holes for ventilation, sprinkle them with sawdust, shavings, sand, perlite or other material. Place the box with dahlia tubers in the coolest place in the apartment. In the spring, before placing dahlia tubers for germination, do not forget to carry out repeated treatments against rot and pests.

If you do not have conditions for storing tubers of perennial dahlias, modern varieties of annual dahlias will come to the rescue, which are not inferior in the size of the inflorescences to their older brothers, and even surpass them in the abundance of flowering.

33. Stock rose

Stock rose (Alcea) is a perennial herbaceous plant, ideal for planting in the background of flower beds, decorating walls and fences. The holly rose is also beautiful as a single plant, standing out against the background of a lawn.

34. Sedum, sedum

Sedum (Sedum),or sedum- succulent herbaceous plant, undemanding to soil. Sedum blooms from July until frost and disappears under the snow in bloom. Most sedums are very winter-hardy and do not require shelter.

Tall types of sedums are suitable for flower beds with decorative annuals and perennials. In a flowerbed, sedums can be planted in small groups, combined with asters, chrysanthemums, ornamental grasses or dwarf conifers. Preferring bright sun, sedums easily tolerate light shading. They retain their decorative effect even after flowering, so they can be left in the flowerbed until next spring.

35. Gladiolus

- a perennial corm herbaceous plant. Gladiolus is considered one of the most decorative garden flowers. Its peduncles, like victorious swords, are directed upward, on which flowers of various colors are located in a joyful company, like a flock of butterflies.

Before planting, gladioli corms are treated with preparations against rot and pests. To plant gladioli, you need to choose a sunny and wind-protected place with light, fertile, well-drained soil. Gladioli, like other garden flowers, need to be fertilized with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Gladioli bloom in August - September. Sometimes gladioli flower stalks need to be tied to a support.

In the fall, after flowering, when the leaves begin to turn yellow, gladioli corms are dug up, washed well, and dried. Before storing gladioli corms, treat them with preparations against rot (foundazol, phytosporin) and pests (actellik, fitoverm). Gladioli corms should be stored in a cool, dry place.

Annuals

June is the time when annuals begin to bloom. Annuals will add color to the flower garden throughout the summer desired color, intensifying and growing towards the end of summer. Without annuals, the flower garden will look a little lonely. While perennials generally bloom for only one month, annuals do not stop flowering throughout the entire growing season; they can only be stopped by a frost in late autumn. Among the annuals, it is easy to choose plants that are easy to care for. But in order to get annuals to bloom as early as June, you will have to grow them through seedlings.

36. Petunia

Petunia (Petunia)- ground cover or hanging plant. Petunia is planted with seeds in early March. In the second half of May, petunia seedlings can already be planted in open ground, in most cases already with color. Petunias need bright sun, although they will bloom in slight shade.

Petunia is not at all picky about soil and is drought-resistant, but if you want to achieve continuous flowering of petunia, you need to constantly feed it and water it as the soil dries out. Feeding petunias begins with nitrogen fertilizers or mullein infusion, and then until the beginning of August, with an interval of 7-10 days, they are given full mineral fertilizers with a predominance of phosphorus and potassium. Petunias can be grown in flowerpots, hanging baskets and planters. If hanging baskets are located in the sun, it is advisable to cover the soil in the baskets with moss before the petunias close in order to retain moisture.

37. Marigolds, or Tagetes

Or tagetes (Tagetes). Tall and low, spreading and erect, with shades ranging from pale yellow and lemon to golden and dark yellow with a copper tint, marigolds are indispensable in flower beds. Their presence will significantly reduce the number of pests. Marigolds are unpretentious to growing conditions, grow on any well-moistened soil, bloom in the sun and in partial shade, are very responsive to fertilizing, and bloom until frost.

Or annual, not only beautiful, but also edible. It is photophilous and easily tolerates both cold weather and drought. Annual chrysanthemum seeds can be sown directly into the ground in early spring. Crowned chrysanthemum seedlings, carefully dug out during thinning, can be transplanted; they tolerate replanting well and all take root. Shoots of crowned chrysanthemum can be eaten in salads along with herbs.

39. Nasturtium

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) — a herbaceous plant that is very popular. Nasturtium is a heat-loving and light-loving plant. Nasturtium prefers a sunny location, moderately fertile, moist soil. Nasturtium is planted in open ground in late May - early June.

Nasturtium is unpretentious in care, like other annuals. Before flowering, nasturtium is regularly watered, and after it blooms, watering is needed only when the soil is sufficiently dry. In extreme heat, nasturtium leaves may droop, this is not dangerous; with the onset of evening coolness, the decorative effect of nasturtium is restored.

During the budding period and during the flowering of nasturtium, only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers should be used for feeding. Nasturtium will bloom in the garden from June until frost. After flowering, it produces many seeds. Nasturtium seeds can overwinter in the soil and sprout the following year. By the way, all parts of the plant: flowers, leaves, and shoots are edible.

40. Cosmea

Cosmea (Cosmos)- a very unpretentious light-loving, drought-resistant, cold-resistant plant. Cosmea grows well in loose, moderately fertile soils. Cosmea is easy to grow by direct sowing in open ground in late April - early May. Recommended varieties: yellow terry cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus).

41. Calendula, marigold

Calendula (Calendula)- not only an ornamental, but also a medicinal plant. If you plant calendula in a flower garden, then essential oils, contained in calendula, will protect neighboring plants from pests not only above, but also underground.

43. Cosmidium

Cosmidium- a plant related to cosmos, or even a variety of cosmos. Unlike cosmos, cosmidium is lower, its flowers are not so large, but the color of the flowers is so rich and bright that I decided to recommend this flower. Cosmidium flowers are yellow with a dark red or almost brown velvety color at the very center of the flower. Looking at a cosmidium flower up close, you can’t immediately tell whether it’s dry or wet: it seems like droplets of dew shimmer in the sun and enhance the color.

44. Astra

Aster annual, or Chinese aster (Callistephus chinesis)- perhaps the most multi-colored flower of all annuals. Depending on the height of the stem (from 15 to 90 cm) annual asters Suitable for flower beds, mixborders, group plantings, and serve as decoration for balconies and terraces. They thrive in sunny or partial shade, on loamy and sandy loam permeable soils. Asters prefer calcareous or neutral soils with a high humus content. If there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil, asters are susceptible to fusarium wilt, so use only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for feeding.

45. Eschsolzia

Among the variety of varieties of this plant, you can find zinnias with both large flowers and small-flowered ones, but they are in no way inferior to them in decorativeness. To ensure long-lasting flowering of zinnia, do not forget to remove faded inflorescences and feed them every two weeks with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.

Zinnia can be planted in company with other annuals that match in height. Zinnia looks great in group planting, forming islands of greenery and large caps of inflorescences.

Shrubs

47. Rose

What is a garden without a rose? If it is difficult for you to cover hybrid tea or floribunda roses for the winter, you can choose easy-care yellow-flowering park varieties of roses. For example, “Freesia” is suitable for any garden in all respects. This one is blooming rose throughout the summer, fragrant. A small covering of the root system for the winter is enough for her. If you have been involved in floriculture for a long time, then the choice of roses before you expands significantly among both bush and climbing roses.

48. Cinquefoil shrub

Cinquefoil (Pentaphylloides fruticosa)- a small shrub that will be a wonderful addition to a yellow-flowering garden. Potentilla blooms from June to October, tolerates pruning easily, grows well in moist, well-drained soils, and is very responsive to fertilizers and fertilizing. Potentilla flowers can be dried and brewed instead of tea, because it is not without reason that the second name for cinquefoil is Kuril tea.

49. Rhododendron

Rhododendron It grows mainly in acidic soils; if the soil in your garden is neutral or calcareous, then all attempts to grow rhododendron may be unsuccessful. Only with the annual application of peat, pine needles or sawdust, pine bark, and special fertilizers will it be possible to grow rhododendrons in the garden. However, it's worth it! Just the sight of a blooming rhododendron will drive anyone crazy! But in addition to the requirements for soil acidity, many more rules must be observed when planting and further care for rhododendron, even in autumn and winter.

50. Gorse

Gorse (Genista tinctoria)- a low shrub, which, by the way, is perfect for growing in an alpine hill, in borders, in small group plantings. Gorse prefers sandy, light, dry, calcareous soils. In spring or early summer, the shoots of gorse are covered with yellow flowers, behind which no leaves are visible. However, gorse is not only decorative, but is also medicinal plant. During wintering, the thin shoots of gorse may freeze, but in the spring the plant quickly recovers.

51. Forsythia, forsythia

Forsythia, forsythia (Forsythia)- a shrub that blooms in early spring with beautiful yellow flowers. Immediately after the snow melts, forsythia shoots are covered with flowers. Forsythia loves a place that is bright and sheltered from the winds. Forsythia grows well in humus-rich, calcareous or neutral soils. If there is enough rainfall, then watering is not required. But if the summer is very dry and hot, then the forsythia needs to be watered at least once a month, 10-20 liters per bush.

In the spring, you can put rotted manure under the forsythia bush, which will serve not only as fertilizer, but also as mulch. Every spring, all diseased, broken, weak shoots, as well as one-third to one-half of faded inflorescences, are pruned. Stump pruning is used to rejuvenate the bush. With such pruning, forsythia quickly grows back and restores its crown, as well as when shortening faded old branches. For the winter, it is recommended to cover the forsythia root system with a dry leaf, spruce branches, and also bend the branches to the ground to avoid freezing.

Forsythia has a lot decorative forms, among which the best are: densely flowered forsythia (f. densiflora), wonderful forsythia (f. spectabilis), primrose forsythia (f. pmulina).

52. Barberry

Barberry Thunberg (Berberis thunbergii)- a shrub that is valued not only for its high decorative qualities, but also for its berries, which contain a very large amount of vitamin C.

All barberries are distinguished by their unpretentiousness, they are not demanding of soil, are not afraid of strong prevailing winds, tolerate drought and heat, and only cannot tolerate stagnation of moisture in the soil. Therefore, to plant barberries you need to choose a dry place or arrange good drainage. Barberries grow well in partial shade, but for forms with colored leaves, a sunny place is preferable, where the color of the leaves is most pronounced.

Barberry is responsive to fertilizing with complete complex fertilizers with microelements. In the first year of planting, barberry needs to loosen the soil and weed out the weeds. Pruning barberry involves removing weak, diseased, broken shoots.

Among all the varieties and varieties of barberry, there are yellow-leaved forms, the representative of which is the Thunberg barberry Aurea. Barberry Thunberg Aurea is about a meter high. It can burn in the sun, so it requires a partial shade location. The new yellow-leaved barberry variety Bonanza Gold is not at all afraid of the sun, but it is a little shorter in stature.
