Every novice gardener wants to know what flowers to plant in their dacha, and so that they bloom all summer long. Landscaping is a responsible matter. We would not particularly recommend trusting the advice of special magazines that advertise fashionable and modern plants.
It is not always profitable to run to a flower shop and buy expensive seeds. The fact is that, in most cases, they are very capricious and can cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, ideally, choose those varieties that have already been time-tested and will definitely not let you down. In this article we will look at which types are best used in the country for both landscaping flower beds and flowerpots.
An important requirement is unpretentiousness!
If you do not live in a country house, but visit it several times a week, or even a month, then growing plants should be unpretentious. Otherwise, in your absence, they will lose their attractive appearance and decorativeness, and they may even die. Flowers must normally withstand all kinds of atmospheric phenomena, for example, rain, hail, heat and more. Moreover, we need those species that pests do not like. This will allow you to have beautiful flower beds that won’t turn into pitiful “skeletons” in your absence!
Unpretentious flowers should not require much time to care for them, for example, regular fertilization, mulching, pruning and gartering. Such plants must meet the requirement: minimal care - maximum decorative effect!
What to choose: perennial or annual
If you want to get a beautiful flowerbed as quickly as possible, then ideal option there will be annuals. After planting, such flowers begin to bloom 1-2 months later. A large number of these varieties have a long flowering cycle from summer to the first frost. As for perennials, the situation here is completely different. Their flowering period is quite short. Some types of perennial flowers can bloom for only a few weeks, while others last 1-2 months.
Another advantage of annuals is that every year you can experiment with new shades. different varieties. Accordingly, every year you will have a completely new painting in the garden. This is exactly what many flower lovers strive for.
But perennials are not without their merits. They also have their regular fans among gardeners and gain new ones every year. Despite the fact that they grow slower than annuals, after planting, they are much less hassle and care problems. Therefore, you can plant such a flower once and enjoy its beauty for many years without making any effort.
As for annuals, they will have to be sown every time. And this is even despite the fact that some annuals have the ability to self-sow. In this case, there is one drawback: you will not be able to get a beautiful outline of the flowerbed, and all the color will be scattered in a chaotic manner. If you don’t want this, then you’ll have to sow a new one every year!
Now let's talk in more detail about the varieties of annuals and perennials.
Bulbous flowers are a bright decoration for a dacha!
Among perennials, bulbous ones will be the ideal decoration for any site. They are absolutely not whimsical. But despite this, they delight the eyes of their owners with beauty. One of these spring flowers are crocuses. As soon as the snow melts, this primrose sprouts from underground in the month of March. To wait for the first inflorescences from it, there is no need to wait until it gains green mass. The first buds appear simultaneously with the leaves.
This is due to the fact that his vegetative system develops at an accelerated pace. However, like most perennials, its flowering period is short - only 7-10 days, and after that it goes dormant again, waiting for the next spring. This plant does not require any additional care, especially fertilizer. It is also avoided by all possible fungi and pests.
If you love tulips and other representatives of bulbous flowers, then keep in mind that, unlike crocuses, they are more capricious. However, their presence in the country allows you to create a variety of flower bed combinations. Their shapes, colors and sizes amaze any imagination. There are few people who are indifferent to tulips.
They can be used on Moorish lawn, coastal zone pond, as well as in the center of a flower bed near the house. But as mentioned above, these large terry exotics are finicky. They are susceptible to various fungal diseases. And for this reason, before planting the bulbs, they should be treated with fungicides. It is recommended to carry out additional sprays and during the growing season.
The main enemy of the tulip is fungus. If you do not notice it in time, the treatment of the disease will not be successful.
In addition to tulips and crocuses, other unpretentious bulbous plants can be planted for spring flowering, namely:
- daffodils,
- muscari,
- hyacinths.
They can successfully diversify any spring flower bed. As for summer bulbs, there is no way to do without a beauty that no one can match - the lily. Released today large number varieties that differ not only in timing and flowering period, different colors, but also in the most important thing - aroma!
Perennials for the garden. Which ones are the best?
Among the perennials there are also other popular garden fashionistas - dahlias and peonies. Their reproduction is carried out by tubers. The luxury of flowers is conveyed in different colors: burgundy, pink, white. They bloom in early July. This plant is beautiful due to its curvaceous bush. Even when its flowering period has ended, the bush remains an excellent decorative addition to the flowerbed, creating a beautiful rich background.
Dahlias bloom in late summer and autumn. It is during this period that a large number of double inflorescences of different shades appear on them: purple, red, yellow and white. Although there is also an annual variety of dahlia, it is called the cheerful guys. These plants have compact and small sizes. They will look great as a decoration for low flower beds and borders.
Well, what if you have a gazebo, fence or arch in your garden? How can you decorate it? For this there is a simple and original solution. Clematis greenery will decorate these and other items. Perennial climbing plant has a large number of small flowers.
On one clematis, 500 flowers can bloom at once! A truly wonderful addition to any garden.
Among other things, clematis is the champion in flowering period among perennials. This period begins in June and ends in October.
The luxury of long-lasting flowering - annuals
As for annual flowers for the garden, the list can be very long. But let’s consider, perhaps, the most unpretentious species.
Marigolds are one of the simplest and most beautiful representatives. They amaze with their varying colors from bright burgundy to soft yellow. If we talk about their shape, it can be simple or terry. If you want to form tall thickets, then opt for the African variety of marigolds, which have large ball-shaped inflorescences. If you dream of a border decoration, then rejected marigolds will be the best; they tolerate irregular watering, sun and constant rain.
It is not recommended to plant them in dense shade. This may result in a lack of flowering. Marigolds should receive a large amount sunlight. In this case, their bushes will be strewn with flowers and will be compact in size.
Another picky flower among annuals is zinnias (majors, as they are popularly called). Despite the fact that it has a thick stem, it does not need a garter at all. The plant itself has excellent immunity and is not susceptible to any diseases. Zinnia flowers come in all sorts of shades and colors, with the exception of blue. Their main advantage is drought resistance. If you water them once a week, they will still delight you with the beauty of flowering. But you should not abuse this, since due to systemic underwatering they may decrease in size and bloom less luxuriantly.
Don’t forget about the different faces of petunia. This annual flower can decorate any flower bed. It has different forms, becoming compact bush or a chic ampel with meter-long lashes. Unlike marigolds and zinnias, petunia is less drought tolerant. If you have little free time and energy, then it’s better not to take on planting it.
Of course, the list of annual and perennial flowers that can be used to decorate flower beds could be continued. There are a large number of their types, which differ in the play of colors and shapes. We have reviewed the most popular and frequently used ones in the country.
Now let's talk about flowers that can be planted in flowerpots. This is no less attractive activity.
Flowerpots - an alternative to flower beds or an addition?
If near your country house There is enough land, then planting flower beds and making flower beds will not take much effort. However, what to do when there is a desire to somehow decorate areas covered with concrete paths or tiles? Or somehow decorate a gazebo, steps or balcony? In all these cases, a simple and rational solution is suitable - planting in flowerpots. Literally a few flowerpots can turn a gray landscape into a blooming garden. So, what species can be planted in flowerpots in the country? Let's look at some of the features of such plants.
Features of growing flowers in flowerpots
Flowerpots or containers are convenient and practical. They can be placed literally anywhere in the garden, on the edge of a bench, along paths or around the pool. If you want to change the combination, you will not need to dig up the beds; you can simply move the flowerpot from one place to another. But there is one “but”: not all types colors will suit a place that is in the shade. For this reason, you should be prudent.
You can create impressive cascades from different compositions. To do this, you should first create several levels from various or similar flowerpots. When planting them, you need to select the size, shades and think about how certain flowers will contrast. You can also use shelves, steps and even hanging structures. It should also be noted that the plant that grows in a flowerpot has clear differences from those that grow in open ground. So, here are perhaps the main differences:
- The root system of one type or another will thrive in a limited space.
- Such plants easily tolerate drought or excess moisture, which makes them more resilient.
- Flowering occurs throughout the season. As soon as some buds wither, new ones grow.
As for caring for such flowers, they usually require less attention. For this reason, you may want to consider planting in flowerpots at your dacha as an option, in case you don’t like to arrange flower beds. Now let's talk about suitable varieties for flowerpots.
Selection of varieties for pot plantings
If you decide to make a combination of flowers, then choose different colors, depending on the type of stem and their height/lushness. As a rule, two or three species are planted in large flowerpots. Tall or focal ones should be placed in the center of the flowerpot. As for the edges, the background ones should be located on them. Climbing and cascading plants can be planted harmoniously around the perimeter or circle. If your container is located near the wall, then it is clear that tall plants should be planted near the wall, and low ones in the foreground.
Focal flowers in the spotlight!
One of the unpretentious flowers that can fulfill this role is the wildly blooming pelargonium. In most cases it is known as geranium. It has a wide range of shades ranging from soft pink to deep burgundy. To support them, it is enough to feed them with humates two or three times during the summer. In general, they do not require special care.
Another option for focal ones is semi-double or double aster. Its flowering period is quite long. If you plant them in flowerpots, it is best to purchase medium-sized or dwarf varieties. Their height can reach up to 50 centimeters. The only rule for their maintenance is the need for sun. Therefore, a flowerpot with asters should be placed in a place that receives direct sunlight.
If we talk about annual focal flowers, then we can highlight dahlias. The height of the plant can be from twenty centimeters to fifty. They are perfect for creating a unique and beautiful combination in a flowerpot, for group plantings or single plantings. Very often you can find dahlias used to decorate the porch.
Background flowers as a border!
Often pansies called violet or viola. They are delicate and colorful and grow up to 25 cm in height. If tall plants are already planted in a flowerpot, then pansies will be an ideal addition to create a separate composition.
Another bright representative is ageratum. It has a variety of colors: white, lilac, burgundy and purple. It can be perfectly combined as a frame with asters or dahlias. Their height reaches thirty centimeters. Ageratum can be used to create contrasting compositions. This flower is absolutely unpretentious and easily tolerates drought, but it is best not to place it in the shade. This plant is sun-loving.
In May and June, Iberis can be used to decorate a flowerpot. It can serve as a reliable replacement for other flowers that have already faded by this time. Although this lush plant loves sun, it also grows well in the shade. Also does well in a flowerpot.
If you want flowerpots to give you a wonderful and sunny mood, then be sure to plant white-yellow limnanthes. Its flowers are very small and resemble suns that illuminate everything around. Limnanthes can be used as a background with flowers of red or blue focal plan.
Well, how can we not do without hybrid verbena, which reaches a height of thirty centimeters. The bush of this plant looks alive and variegated thanks to the petals of the inflorescences framing the white spot. Ideal for creeping compositions.
Curly and cascading flowers for flowerpots
Petunia is an ideal option for decorating verandas and balconies. This plant is rich in diverse shades ranging from snow-white to bright red and deep purple. With the help of petunia, you can create incredibly beautiful combinations of colors and shades.
Also an excellent option would be various varieties of fuchsia, which can be planted in flowerpots in the country. Falling and hanging flowers can create an amazing combination of pink and red shades. Very often they are used to decorate gazebos/balconies. In most cases, preference is given to hybrid fuchsias.
Bright cornflower blue lobelia flowers can be perfectly combined with focal flowers. There are other shades, such as white, red or purple. Using lobelia you can make a monochromatic frame.
Nasturtium can give you positivity and sunshine. In addition to being a beautiful addition to flowerpots, nasturtiums can also be useful for pest control. This plant is very popular in the north and in middle lane. This is mainly due to their unpretentiousness.
Also an excellent option would be scaevola, which is suitable not only for containers and flowerpots. With its help you can create excellent annuals, since this plant is a ground cover.
So, there are a large number of other plants that can be planted in flowerpots or containers in the country. We have listed the most unpretentious ones, with which there will be the fewest problems. For care, it is enough to water them in a timely manner and also loosen the soil. In this case, they will delight you with lush flowering. Please note that some varieties can be fed mineral fertilizers. They are sold in the form of granules or solutions.
In general, having flowers in the country is not a burden. By creating a beautiful combination, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of blooming plants for a long period of time.
