We decorate the villa with flowers resistant to frost
By purchasing heat-loving exotic plants, we often complain about their inability to take on a rather severe and capricious climate in Russia. Meanwhile, in our forests, in meadows and swamps, there are stable, frost-hardy and unpretentious species that, on cultivated soil, show their best decorative qualities, not inferior to their overseas brethren in beauty and the possibility of using them in the garden landscaping.
Carnation Fisher
Perennial herbaceous herbaceous plant with a height of 25 - 45, see stems naked, on top bifurcated or paniculate-branched. Leaves linear-lanceolate, width 5 - 8 mm. The flowers are large enough, 2 - 3 cm in diameter, pinkish-purple, arranged singly or collected in bundles. Blooms in June - July. The carnation grows equally well both in the sun and in the penumbra. Soils prefer light, sandy, moderately moist. It reacts well to fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Does not need shelter for the winter. It multiplies easily by dividing bushes in spring, when shoots reach 5 cm in height. The amazing aroma surrounding the plant during flowering makes it a desirable component for flower beds in the recreation area. Planted next to cereals and a bell with a persian leotard.
Daisy
Perennial herbaceous plant with height up to 90 cm, with branched, hollow, sparse stems. Lower cauline leaves oblong, obovate, whole, upper - oblong. Chamomile flowers are single inflorescences-baskets up to 6 cm in diameter, white with a bright yellow center. Blooms in June -July. The plant develops better in open sunny places. Soils are needed fertile, deeply treated, moderately moist, with good drainage. Fairly frost-resistant. At one place grows more than 5 years. Great for cutting. It reproduces by the division of rhizomes, cuttings and seeds. In flower beds and on lawns, it is often planted next to bells and cloves, lush, looks good with cereals.
Blue Cyanosis
Perennial herbaceous plant with a thick creeping rhizome, up to 90 cm. Stems erect, leafy, hollow, smooth. Leaves large odd-pinnate. Flowers are flat-campanulate, blue or white, up to 1,5 cm in diameter, collected in paniculate inflorescences. Blossoms in July-August. The plant is rather unpretentious, grows equally well both in open sunny places and in the penumbra, under the canopy of tall trees and shrubs. Soils prefer light, fertilized, water-permeable. Well hibernates without shelter. In dry weather, additional watering is desirable. Fine honey plant. Propagate the cyanosis by dividing the bushes, green cuttings and seeds. It has cultural forms with white flowers and variegated leaves. It is a good addition to the flower beds, usually in the background, since after flowering it loses its decorativeness. As neighbors, it is suitable as flowering plants, as well as deciduous-deciduous, for example, yellow-leaved hosts.
Vassilistnik water-collecting
A perennial herbaceous plant that forms compact shrubs with a height of 80 - 130 cm. The leaves are regular, large, pinnately-divided, delicate, shiny, with pubescent pubescence.

The plant develops well in open sunny places and in scattered penumbra. Soil loves fertile, light, well-endowed with moisture. In dry times it is necessary to water regularly. Does not require shelter for the winter. Flowering shrubs need support. Excellent honey plant. It reproduces by dividing bushes, cuttings, pruning of rhizomes and seeds that are sown under winter in the year of collection. In culture it forms more powerful shrubs with spectacular inflorescences. Harmoniously combined with ferns, daylilies, cuffs.
Soft cuff
A perennial herbaceous ground cover plant with a height of 30 - 40 cm forms loose curtains. Leaves are pale green with jagged edges, felt-pubescent.

Mylnyanka prefers quiet sunny, sheltered from the cold winds of the place, withstands a slight shading. Soils like light, water-permeable. Excellent hibernation without shelter. It reproduces by dividing bushes, green cuttings and seeds. Organically fit in both the rose garden and the unpretentious composition with cereals and cleaning for dry soil conditions.
Elderberry herbaceous
A perennial herb with a height of 100 - 200 cm with a thick creeping rhizome. Stem straight, furrowed, pubescent.

It grows well in open sunny places and in light shade, under the shadow of taller bushes and trees. Has a pronounced weed effect, growing with the help of creeping shoots, and is able to displace any other plants. Propagated by segments of rhizome with a kidney, layers, green cuttings and seeds. Annually appears in a new place about half a meter away from the previous one.
Great for decorating compost heaps.
On a note:
Winter-green plants
In autumn, in most herbaceous perennials, the leaves fall off, and the plants pass into a state of rest, stopping photosynthesis and minimizing moisture loss.
But there are also grassy perennials, the leaves of which remain on the plant all winter and die only in spring - these are winter-green representatives of the garden kingdom. Plants from this group are well adapted to adverse conditions. So, the thin hairs covering the Byzantine chives protect the plant from moisture loss, which is also characteristic of the wax-glossy skin-like leaves of the incense. Important: on frost-free days, winter-green plants need to be watered!

Do you want to admire the delightful colors before almost freezing? Then plant in your garden feces, snapdragon, osteospermum, ornamental cabbage, sage mealy and sage green, or hormineum, lobulyaru seaside (alissum), gillyflowers, viola (pansies), tobacco-dander, cosmece, diasium, coreopsis, pelargonium zonal, nasturtium , sweet peas, biodense, echium, calendula, limantes, matthiol.
Ornamental cabbage is the queen of autumn flower beds, despite the complete absence of flowers in her luxurious outfit. The plant pleases the eye with colored leaves of the most diverse and bizarre shapes. They can be white, cream, pink, burgundy, with a wavy and corrugated edge and strongly dissected. A leaf rosette resembles a huge terry flower, miraculously arising directly from the ground, or an exotic palm tree on a tall stalk. To amazing your-
This plant also has a rare ability to withstand repeated frosts and easily tolerate transplantation in the adult state.
Verbena is beautiful decorative with flowers and leaves. This is one of the most beautiful verbena, retaining its effectiveness until the end of summer. Large lilac inflorescences-umbrellas are carelessly scattered among openwork carved foliage, and strongly branched stems, rooted in knots, form a beautiful carpet on the soil or fall down in a picturesque cascade when grown in hanging baskets. The most popular variety is 'Imagination' with purple-violet flowers.
Tobacco is fragrant. This "relative" of petunia favorably differs from "sister" in its resistance to cold autumn weather and flourishes blossom until late frosts. The most pleasant aroma is the plants with white and greenish-white
flowers, and the smell is manifested in the evening, and in the afternoon the flowers remain closed. There are also tobacco varieties with unclosed flowers of other colors: pink, wine-red, lilac, lilac, but, as a rule, they are devoid of flavor. Blooms in 70-90 days after sowing.
Osteospermum (or Cape daisy) - a long half-shrub originally from the Cape of South Africa. White, lilac, purple, yellow and orange inflorescences-baskets resemble chamomile. Compact varieties have a height of 20-60 cm, African "daisies", unlike domestic ones, bloom abundantly until the frosts. The inflorescence looks with an almost completely tangled flower in the shape of a spoon. In bad weather, the flowers remain open. Easily propagated by cuttings. Fond of the varieties can be kept in winter in a cool room. Requires loose fertile soil.

It is often thought that the flowering of such popular perennials, as delphinium, clove Shabo, helenium, in the year of sowing will not wait. Yes, nothing of the kind! Simply planting them should be seedlings in January and February, and subject to backlighting until the end of March they are quite fun (maybe weaker slightly) will blossom in this season.
And from annuals, snapdragon, salvia, lobelia should be sown no later than the end of February. And with begonia forever-blooming do not linger. And with cineraria ... Then at the latest - in mid-June they will already bloom, and to the end - October frosts!

Perennial flowers in early June are fed with a complex flower fertilizer. In the second weekend it is especially important to make fertilizers for the best development of peonies, phlox, astilbe, daylily, delphinium, lichnis, orebuck and other perennials. At the same time in the open ground planted adolescent tuberous begonia and dahlias. After 5-9 June, seedlings of annuals (petunia, zinnias, marigolds, balsamins, verbena, ageratum, lobelia, etc.) can be transferred to flower gardens. Soil for moisture retention.
After June 15, biennials are planted - pansies, especially large-flowered varieties that produce the largest flowers only in two-year-old crops, as well as daisies, forget-me-nots, night violets, mallow and others.
At the end of the month, collect the seeds of biennials and many-year-olds (primula, doronikuma). At the same time, remove the wilted flowers from the re-flowering plants, which will promote the formation of buds. And besides, you can feed all perennials organic.

I love flowers. Before, my garden was full of flower beds. But they had to be carefully looked after. When I turned 75. it turned out that the forces were no longer the same. Children and grandchildren help little - they work hard, they get tired and want to work at the dacha, but to rest. Therefore, we had to abandon annuals: it became difficult to grow seedlings, to resume planting every spring. Tulips and other bulbous, which need to be dug and put again, is now also not for me. Therefore, I paid attention to herbaceous floral perennials and ornamental shrubs. Hassle with them is much less. So I got acquainted with the hydrangea.
For the first time a magnificent shrub of hydrangea tree-like with white caps of flowers I saw from neighbors and asked for cuttings. I received them in the spring, at the end of April, when old shoots were cut off. But cuttings for some reason did not take root. Then the neighbor sprinkled the earth with two powerful shoots. When they took root, we cut off the layers, dug out with a big clod of earth, and I transferred them to my site. In autumn I covered the young bushes with lapnik and lutrasil. Three years passed, and I grew large, luxurious bushes. From July until frosts, white floral foam covers them.
Care hydrangea is not tiring. The main thing that it needs is an annual spring pruning, without it there will be no luxuriant flowering, and the bushes will turn into untidy thickets. And 2-3 times a season you need to mulch the soil around the bushes with the rotted manure, and in autumn add a mixture of compost and peat. And in the spring, in early May. I do top dressing with Agricola for flowering plants. This feeding is enough for the whole season.

Experienced growers know that in the first year of life perennials form a fairly powerful overground part, and only then begin to bloom. However, there are decorative cultures that begin to bloom before a certain period and they are called "upstarts". It is from them formed a group of plants that have an early flowering in the year of sowing.
Other perennials sown for seedlings at the end of winter may bloom in the first year, but this is to the detriment of development. But the “upstart” bloom does not bring harm - they form a strong root system and due to this they tolerate wintering well.
Such plants include carnations - lush, grassy, blue, dolphiniums Black Knight and Candle, large-flowered gaillardia, Alpine soul moth, Dubrovnik, creeper tenacious, mallow zebrina, yarrow Pearl.
Agrotechnics of growing such plants is slightly different from more slow perennials. All of them are grown only in seedlings. Seeding of seeds is from January to March. The soil must be fertile, as in a short time the plants need to fully form, bloom and prepare for the winter. Top-dressing is also required regular, but moderate.
The soil for seeding is safer to prepare independently, taking fertile soil, peat, compost and sand (ratio 2: 2: 2: 1).
Feeding plants begin a week after the pick. For fertilizing you can use a complex mineral fertilizer, alternating it with organic. After planting 8 plants, the open top dressing depends on soil fertility, plant condition and weather conditions. Usually on soils of average fertility it is recommended to feed at least twice a month. Fertilizers can be spread over the surface of the soil or spilled with a prepared solution. On fertile soils, fertilizers are used less often and mostly look at plants.

Most perennial crops should be transplanted in spring, although there are exceptions here. For example, irises sa-
The first should be divided and planted only after flowering, when they have a rest period, after which the roots begin to form in 4-5 weeks. Oriental mack should also not be transplanted in the spring, this is also done after flowering, when all the leaves are discarded. A transplant at another time will lead to the death of the plant. Peony forms buds at the end of August, so at this time it will be possible to divide the rhizome with high-grade kidneys.

This year I decided to increase the flower garden area.
My neighbor in the country even offered to share her collection of perennials, and she has a large one. Tell me, please, which perennials can be replanted in the early spring, and which are better in the summer?
