To decorate the "entrance" area you need, based on the architecture of the house, the type of fence and vegetation on the site. So, between a brick building and a wooden fence, a flower bed in a rustic style will organically fit in, and near the modern building gravel packing with inclusions of individual plants, especially cropped ones, is more appropriate. By the way, special attention should be paid to flower gardens, in which stones and plants merge harmoniously - rockeries. They are now at the height of fashion, which is not surprising: these objects are beautiful in every season, and you can design them in any style.

When choosing plants, focus not only on decorativeness, but also on endurance: the stunted "sissies" with their appearance can spoil the appearance of the entire yard. Pay attention to the century assigned to the "pets": for the "hallway" the house is ideally suited for long-flowering perennial plants that winter well in our latitudes.

Since the territory in front of the house, especially if it is open for review, should retain visual attractiveness all year round, it is worth picking up a couple of fluffy evergreens, such as boxwood, thujus and junipers, as well as herbaceous perennials, which, in a withered form, delight the eye with graceful silhouettes (to for example, yarrow, blue-head, decorative grass).

In order for the planting at the house to turn out to be more voluminous and dynamic, it does not hurt to supplement the herbaceous plants with ornamental bushes, for example spiraea, lilac or buddlei, or low trees, ideally with naturally compact crowns (such as the catalytic bones of the "Nana", as an alternative suitable shtabovye shrubs). Important: when planting, leave a "gap" for further plant growth - after a couple of years the clearings will close. Prior to this, between the perennials can be planted suitable flying machines, and deserted areas under trees and shrubs to wallow in bark.

It is not necessary to equip the front garden, following the rigid canons. Experiment: combine design techniques, stylistic nuances, various materials - the main thing is that the site in front of the house is in harmony with the building and was attractive.

1. Modern and elegant in the square flower beds off-season green accents are ivy and boxwood. Well, in the summer, the star of planting becomes an impressive hydrangea tree.

2. A simple solution: if the porch does not have a place for a full flower garden, you should not give up - it's enough to create a couple of ensembles in pots that fit the style and put them at the entrance door.

3. Mini-flower garden with a mega-effect: near the wall of the house, catchy accents are placed with roses of roses, under the shade of which the chrysanthemums are huddled.

4. A bright picture, which emerged from the painter's brush, looks like a complete contrast to a composition of sheared balls-boxwood, scattered here and there of floral plants, such as aquilegia and iris, and multi-barreled Japanese maple.

5. The power of attraction: a lush border of lavender during flowering will not leave indifferent passers-by. The southern style of the flower bed is emphasized by yucca, white acacia and herbaceous perennials with silvery leaves.

Raised flower beds of different heights are a good solution for a site located on a slope. In such plantings not only grassy perennials look good, but also low shrubs and even dwarf trees.

Sprawling bush or lush ornamental grass can be a key accent in the mini-landing near the porch. Well, pot plants emphasize the splendor of the "main character".

Cropped plants of different shapes and heights always look spectacular. And if they are supplemented with a couple of floral plants, for example night violets (Hesperis matronalis) and decorative onions - planting will become irresistible.

Three-dimensionality of the front garden is given by trees and bushes. But in a tiny area of giants it is better to replace the climbing plants on the supports.

Even the smallest section in front of the house conceals a huge decapotential. We will show how to make this territory with the help of plants - be it in the sun, in the penumbra or shade - dynamic and diverse.

How was it?

Sadly: on a tiny patch of land in front of the house, three lonely bushes of withered grass "green" the gravel-covered area. Alluring such a front garden is clearly not called.

1. White Oasis: a refined solution

To the ground in front of the house looked beautiful and at the same time unordinary, along the wall of the house an uplifted flower garden of 3 m length with a bench is broken. It is complemented by a decorative fence made of wooden slats.

On it climb up hydrangea petiolate. which in summer pleases the eye with large inflorescences. On hot days, a gracious shadow is given to 2 by a white acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) 'Umbraculifera', which also adds to the planting volume. Decorative leaves flower garden near the house adorns 3 host hybrid (Hosta-Hybride) 'Justine'.

Orchidiness is given to plants with white flowers such as ground cover 4 Thymus vulgaris 'Compactus', 5 Kalimeris incisa 'Alba', 6 monarcha frog (Monarda fistulosa) 'Schneewittchen' and 7 Veronicastrum virgin Veronicastrum virginicum) 'Diana'. In June, the cream-white buds of 8 stem-roses are pink (Alcea x rosea) 'Polarstern'.

2. Hilly landscape in mini format

To give the dynamics an absolutely flat area, they created a small hillock with a height of approx. 50 cm, which is located in the middle of the front garden like an islet. The site around the mound gardens the 1 Dryaderman Dryas x suendermannii, it is covered with white flowers, and later pleases the eye with spectacular leaves.

Among the plants there are small boulders that strengthen the natural character of the planting. Above all the plants is a multicolored 8 magnolia starch (Magnolia stellata) 'Rosea' blooming in spring.

3. Bright solution in yellow and purple tones

The front garden can be successfully landscaped without large shrubs and trees. And this proposal is the best confirmation of this. Obelisks of different heights (1,2-1,6 m) adorn the landing and at the same time serve as a support for the lovely 1 dicentra climbers (Dicentra scandens). Due to the variety of structures, the flower garden attracts attention even at the soil level: here 2 hosts of Siebold (Hosta sieboldiana) 'Elegans' are in harmony with a filigree 3 pale flax (Cymbalaria pallida). Vertical silhouettes captivate the high 4 aconite napellus (Aconitum napellus), which looks advantageous next to the yellow 5 euonymus of Fortune (Euonymus fortunei) 'Emerald'n Gold'.

The exquisite beauty of planting gives 6 a blue crib hybrid (Corydalis-Hybride) 'Spinners' and 7 blooming autumn lily flower muskari (Liriope muscari). A classic ground cover plant is the 8 chopper European (Asarumeuropaeum).
