Garden in English style - how to arrange plants

Each of us has our favorite plants, and I want to have them all on our site. And then the question arises: how to put all this beauty together? Involuntarily come to mind the words of Jacques Delil - about “so that the mishmash of meaning and taste does not offend”

It was necessary to reconstruct a fairly large space with an already rich family history - an apple orchard with mature trees, juniper and yew alleys, giant pine trees, once planted with seedlings, many peonies that needed to be preserved, and restore the overgrown lawns.

THE BONE OF THE GARDEN

The architecture of the house and an extensive list of plants that I would like to see customers on the site, determined the style of the garden. No doubt, it must be a classic English garden.

Between the house and the pergola, executed in the spirit of the Roman peristyle, decided to place a rosary. Creating it in the suburbs, you need to take into account that the decorativeness of these shrubs is short-lived, and the place is grand, assumes an all-season attraction. The dominant feature of this corner of the garden was spruce Hoopsii .

In support of blue color used e. Glauca Globosa . A special charm in the coniferous composition was made by fir Korean Silberlocke . Varieties of claret barberry determined the role of structural plants and expressive color spots. And after they have already written roses in this canvas.

The structure of the flower garden - the department, that is, from the low plants in the foreground, the composition gradually increases.

WHITE PINK ROSES

If we talk about the color gamut, the preference was given to a pink and white color. In the foreground planted continuously flowering ground cover roses The Fairy. The middle tier - Jubile du Prince de Monaco , it is spectacular and captivates the beauty of the flower: in half-time the white-cream petals are edged with a tender crimson fringe. As the flower opens, the crimson tint becomes saturated red. Flowers are large, terry, long retain an excellent shape.

In the background, tall ones from groups Floribunda and Shrubs pink tonality.

CLEANLY ENGLISH FLOWER

But what English flower garden without peonies, foxglove and spicy herbs? In our case peonies play the role of a fence and, of course, they fill the garden with a marvelous fragrance in June. Successful companions in this period of time are Siberian irises. Salvia oak, Fas-sen cat and thyme strengthen the delicate smell of roses and fill the garden with life, attracting bees.

When the flowerbed was formed, it was difficult to explain that next year there will be a spectacle of color and mass, so we used some plants as extras. Fescue, moths helped to fill the voids between the yet-grown bushes.

A FLOWER AS A DECORATION

The decoration of the garden was a large complex flower garden. Its length is about 150 meters and its width is up to 3 meters. At the request of our clients, we used the scheme of planting with a mix: a smooth flow of one color into another of different varieties of phlox, monard, lilyleaf, astilbe. The main thing in creating a composition is to take into account the basic principles of building a flower garden: nuances and contrasts, statics and dynamics, the agrotechnics of each plant.

In semi-shady places, plants that prefer acidic soil were grouped. Rhododendrons - in the spring, and hydrangeas - in the fall they will please with luxuriant flowering. Lilacs that require an alkaline medium are combined with pions. Neutral soils and open sunny areas were planted by phloxes, monarchs. Various vertical irises, veronics, were used as verticals. The dynamics of the composition is given by miscanthus and moths, sedges. The front edge was bordered by daylilies, astilbes, purifiers and hosts.

In the shady part of the flower garden, as a border, Geiger was used blood-red and hot, they feel fine here. Surprise for the owners of the garden was the strawberry garden. I like to use this culture right in mixborders. Neat hides are not only pleasant to the eye, but they also delight tasty berries until the fall.

The fluffy and vivid flowering of the phlox and the monarch were counterbalanced by the gentle haze of white-blue calimers. The period of flowering of the curtains is prolonged by the autumn perennial asters.

SEVERAL PARTS

Conditionally divided the flower garden into several parts. In the fruit garden, it was appropriate to use the pranayam, chamomile, echinacea, bells, lilacs, peonies. The central part is the varietal daylilies, miscanthus, barberry.

As we approached the forest part of the garden, chubushniki, hydrangeas, species roses (which we call still dog-roses), phisostegies, were placed. However, the plants of each part flower beds are echoed and repeated - only the accents change, which makes it possible to create the effect of a single composition.

THE RIGHT APPROACH

With this approach to the formation of compositions, an extensive range of plants can be used, and all favorite specimens will find their worthy place.

And most importantly - the next year after planting the flower garden looks fascinating. It seems that the landing is dense, but in fact the year 2 - 3 it does not require special intervention, except for spring weeding. True, you need to use stands to ensure that "neighbors" do not interfere with each other, but, on the contrary, help to maximize the charm of everyone.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE

One of the distinctive features of English mixborders is the planting of plants with large curtains. First, the structure of the flower garden is created: the background is coniferous plants, which will bring decorative effect in the off-season. Trees on high stems are attractive in the spring-autumn period.

Masses of lilac bushes, chubushnikov, vesennetsvetuschih spirits, barberry, hydrangeas, spindle winglets fill the garden with color and aroma. The compositions are as decorative as possible at any time of the year.

In the early spring, on the background of tree-bushy groups, the curls of tulips and daffodils bloomed, numbered from 30 to 50 pieces of the same species. They are commensurate with the total volume of the composition. In place of bows come, which serve as accents. The highest decorations are bright English flower beds reach in the middle of summer. It's a matter of taste, planting with mixes - or monochrome.

Planted in the spring, Karl Foerster's mourning for the summer almost did not grow. Maybe transplant the grain to another place (growing in the penumbra)?

  Do not worry, at first this plant grows slowly. Need 2-3 season, so that the mantra has matured. And then for many years she will please you with her grace, without requiring special care. The variety Karl Foerster - high, divergent fan stems to 2,3 m. A strong plant with architectural forms, but at the same time, gracefully sway at the slightest blow of the breeze. It is not necessary to transplant it now for several reasons. First of all, it is a heat-growing grass - vegetates at + 25-35 degree. As in the street October - the plant will not have time to take root until the winter. Molynia is not very demanding on the landing site - it can grow in the sun and in the penumbra. It feels good also in areas with hot summers, if the wet regime is maintained.
