Seating rules for tulips. How to prepare a site?
Tulips will look beautiful both in a single planting and in partnership with other plants. In early spring, they flare up with tongues of flame and warm our souls with their beauty, regardless of whether their bulbs got here by accident or were planted according to a certain pattern. And if you approach the formation of a flower garden systematically, then you can get a great composition. Therefore, before planting plants, sketch out a flower bed diagram. When compiling it, you need to take into account the following nuances:
- the landscape of the suburban area;
- the height, color and shape of flowers;
- the location of the flower bed (type of soil and lighting conditions);
- flowering time;
- how often plants will need to be added to the flower garden; whether there will be fill or replacement crops;
- what other decorative components will the flower bed adjoin?
It is necessary to comply with some requirements for growing bulbs:
- The surface of the soil should be level and slightly elevated so that the bulbs are not waterlogged.
- Adequate lighting - with a lack of light, the color of tulips fades.
- The soil should be neither alkaline nor acidic; loose and fertile.
- The soil must have good drainage.
- Lack of drafts.
Advice! If it is impossible to protect tulips from the north wind, choose undersized varieties.
A flower garden is usually set up near a gazebo, near a porch, along paths or around trees. You can place it directly in the center of the lawn.
To prepare a place for a flower bed, you need to dig up the ground in this area approximately to the depth of a shovel, treat it with special means to protect against pests and infections. You also need to fertilize the soil.
Landing patterns
The placement of tulips can be varied. If you have a couple of varieties and a small area, then it is better to plant flowers in a group of plants of the same variety.
Flower gardens can be created:
- in the near-trunk circles of trees and shrubs;
- in the center of the lawn of 6-10 tulips;
- in a classic form anywhere in the garden.
Advice! If you don't have enough tulip varieties, you can add primroses, hyacinths, pansies to the flower garden.
The simplest options for the formation of a flower arrangement is a group planting of tulips. To do this, you must have at least 10 bulbs of each type. In this scheme, you do not need to select flowers by terry or shape. It is enough to select varieties of similar colors and plant them together. Place a group with flowers of a different color nearby. Such landings can be alternated. And you can create various patterns from flowers. For example, highlight the center of the flower bed with dark or saturated tulips, and plant plants with light flowers at the edges.
Arrangement of tulips in height and flowering period
Using tulips of different heights allows you to create tiers that will be visible from either side of the flower bed. Against the background of tall varieties, you can plant miniature tulips.
Remember! In order for the flowerbed to retain its attractiveness longer, plant plants with different flowering periods. Terry and wild crops bloom first. Then the varieties Triumph, Greig and Foster begin to bloom.
Also, do not forget to take care of tulips. Withered stems need to be cut off. Do not remove the leaves until they are completely yellow. And be sure to dig up the bulbs after flowering.
Follow our advice and your tulip bed will delight you every spring.
