Decorative autumn plants for decorating a garden, cottage and plot

Many gardeners, picking up bushes and trees for the site, mainly pay attention to candidates who can boast of decorative and yield in the spring and summer.

But in fact there are a lot of applicants in this group of plants, who in all their glory appear in the autumn, when the majority of the representatives of the flora are already preparing for sleep. At this time, our heroes show red and gold deciduous dresses, decorated with beads-berries of various colors.

One of these beauties is the famous mountain ash. Gardeners often do not really like it, since the tree in nature will grow to impressive size. But this applies to ashberry ordinary, for the garden there are too fewer options - Rowan Kashmir, Rowan Chinese, Rowanberry Ken with white fruits, mountain ash - with burgundy-blue or varietal "Josef Rockwith yellow clusters of fruit. All of them reach a maximum of 3 m in height.

For birds, fruit plants in autumn and winter - a generously covered table with a treat. Sometimes with the arrival of cold weather in the cities you can see waxwings (pictured). These lovely creatures simply adore the fruits of wild plants.

Why are "berries" that are poisonous in our raw form, completely safe for birds? It's all about the peculiarities of the bird's detoxification system (the big liver, the digestive tract), and the fact that flying creatures do not chew poison seeds - they come out entirely with the dung.

Along with the rowan, the autumn garden is capable of fabulously transforming the viburnum into an scarlet necklace of berries, chokeberry in black "jewels", snow-white with white or pink "pearls" on the branches, a turn in blue or a beautiful Bodinje with dense brushes made of purple "beads" (the last in the middle lane needs shelter).

By the way, the fruits of some representatives of the flora are quite edible in raw form (aronia and sea-buckthorn), while others become sweet and pleasant to the taste only after the first frosts (viburnum, mountain ash, hawthorn and thistle). But there are among the autumn decorators and poisonous - they should not be planted where children walk.

For the most saturated picture of a plant with yellow-purple leaves and colorful berries should be planted in groups on the border of the site or individual zones of the garden. To enhance the contrast, a bright group is desirable to pick up a calm green background, for example, a hedge of berry yew or holly, which with their bright fruits also contribute to the coloring of the autumn garden.

If there is simply no place to sweep, one can manage one handsome, handsome man, but at the same time choose a worthy place in the garden - in the middle of a lawn or on the background of an evergreen hedge.

In the gardens, you can often see evergreen trees and shrubs that preserve beauty all year round. Some of them can boast not only the greens of needles or foliage, but also attractive fruits, which, as a rule, are inedible. One of such “eternal” representatives of the flora is laurel cherry (Prunus laurocerasus) with glossy, depending on the variety, and leaves of different sizes. However, its black beads are best left to the birds - they are poisonous to humans. Fruit Holly holly (Ilex aqulfolium), as well as all parts of this plant, also contain poisonous substances. The red beads of the prickly giant, like the extremely poisonous red fruits of yew berry, are also worth leaving on the branches.

Flowering and beautiful

Pilots who easily draw any composition for the autumn garden are completely unsuitable; they freeze and blacken at the very first night frosts. They will be replaced by persistent late perennials that do not require shelter from frost and bloom when frozen to -5 ° C.

So, blooming yellow-orange, orange-brick, scarlet and raspberry heleniums and chrysanthemums, dispersed over various compositions, will enrich the garden with floral decoration. Add to them a species and varietal series of perennial asters, tall stonecrops, do not forget about the window sill - and you will get a flowering garden, delighting all fall.

Do not write off the already faded, but still beautiful "dried flowers" of anaphalis, miscanthus, mordovia, and bluehead. Pay special attention to the astilbe. Some miniature forms bloom to frost, other varieties change the color of leaves to golden. Against this sunny background, they look great with the brownish panicles of inflorescences dried up after summer flowering.

From the list of shrubs, hydrangeas are the first to appear, they are beautiful even with wilted inflorescences of the color of baking paper.

Then - retaining a decent appearance after withering of spirea and mountain ash. Next is a group of beautiful plants: cotoneaster, barberry, black elderberry, mountain ash, snowberry, dogrose. Spectacular light yellow leaves and red bunches of berries will delight lemongrass, honeysuckle will also become yellow, but honeysuckle will become yellow, but girl grapes can rightly be considered the record holder for changing the image among lianas: its blue-black fruits perfectly complement purple-chocolate-purple leaves.

Beautiful deciduous shrubs

In autumn, nature literally surrounds us with yellow-red decorations. However, with a warm and rainy autumn, you may not have to wait for the game of colors or the coloring will not be friendly and short-lived. Therefore, lovers of golden days, it is useful to hedge, planting yellow-leaved and purple-leaved forms of plants.

You can recommend a mixed landing, which looks great in many shrubs. For example, yellow-leaved ('Luteus') and purple-leaved ('Diabolo') varieties of cystonia, planted in one landing pit, interwoven with shoots, look simply gorgeous.

In addition, due to the large size of the shrub, the color spot will be impressive. Leaves of variegated and decoratively painted forms in the fall can surprise you with a cardinal change in tones or completely unexpected raspberry or scarlet flashes. In this case, it is important not to overdo it, so as not to make the composition too colorful, "artificial".

In the autumn garden, do not neglect the plants that preserve the green, bluish or blue color of the foliage. With their help, neutral strokes are applied to the garden palette, which allow you to competently build color combinations and give the flower beds a harmonious look. For example, conifers.

With a few exceptions, like microbiota gouging in winter, they are distinguished by the constancy of color - and will not fail in the fall. If it is important how the garden will look after the leaves have fallen and in early spring, then it is better to draw up a planting plan precisely during the off-season, setting the sticks in place of future conifers.

This simple technique will help determine how beautiful the deprived companions and suddenly become accented plants will look like thinners. It is possible that to get a harmonious look you will need to add some more coniferous or deciduous shrubs with beautiful shoots.

For example, striking stems of varieties of white derena, willow, which are bare after a leaf fall, look very elegant. Yellow is valued for its ability to fill the area with light and sun, to give a feeling of joy.

To get yellow in the fall, it is not enough to plant forms with a similar color of foliage - you need to know how they will change with the advent of cold and dry weather.

So, Japanese golden-leaf spirea 'Golden Princess' acquires pinkish and raspberry shades, and Thunberg's barberry Aurea turns red at all, not justifying the hopes of preserving the golden decoration. Lemon-yellow leaves are usually painted in green tones of species specimens of spirea oak-leaved and mountain ash mountain ash. True, orange-pink blotches are also traced in them, in contrast to the lemon-green leaves of the hydrangea tree-like and petiole hydrangea, the rugosa and lemongrass roses.

Stefanander and a whole group of varietal barberries, white derain, some spirea, hydrangea oak-leaved, ginnala maple and red maple, suma olenorogy are dressed in warm fiery red and purple tones.

Planting as many species as possible with this rather aggressive color, you can get the effect of a garden unsuitable for life. It will be uncomfortable, because the red color does not contribute to relaxation and relaxation, but, on the contrary, acts excitingly. But you can’t do without it, especially in a fairly rainy and cold autumn of a temperate climate. It gives the heat of fire, warming on dull, damp days.

Strict accents

When you want to make a little deliberate accuracy in existing plantings, you can acquire plants of the correct form. For this purpose, varieties of thuja western are excellent, able to maintain a strict geometry of the outlines without trimming. To succeed, you need to make sure that the bush is really smooth, and not one-sided because of neighboring plants that have invaded its living space.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide him with enough space in the flower arrangement and provide good lighting from all sides. Plants located nearby or overlapping each other in perspective should be of different shades. Otherwise, they will merge into a single color spot, the volume will disappear, the picture will become flat.

Advice of a specialist

If you want your autumn garden to organically fit into the surrounding natural landscape, add more greenery, represented by coniferous species or plants that do not change their appearance.

Do not overdo it with too bright and contrasting groups - give preference to combining among themselves, similar in tone copies.

Including conifers in the garden assortment, try to evenly distribute them among the flower beds - they will not let the garden look devastated in late autumn and early spring.

In the autumn garden, one can not do without decorative mulching or ground cover plants that can fill the places in flower beds that are freed up after summer leaves or cut leaves of perennials.

Stylish stuff

Accessories for the garden are just as nice to choose as decorations for your favorite dress. It cannot be said that in the autumn garden they are somehow special - all the same driftwood, stumps, stones, wheelbarrows, bird figures. The landscape, filled with autumn colors, organically fit the colors of metal and clay. But if you prefer strong contrasts, then blue, scarlet and white elements will do. A more important role is played by the location of the accessories. They can emphasize the beauty of a plant, fill the corner of a flower bed, which has been exposed after the removal of the summer people, or place new emphasis in the garden.
