Good afternoon, my reader. When planting perennial flowers in a permanent place, be prepared for the fact that after a few years they will grow. And the once beautiful flower garden will lose its original beauty. You can return its visual appeal. But be prepared for active excavation work.

The best time to renovate an old flower garden is spring or autumn.
Was old - became beautiful
Most perennial flowers grow over time. Some are able to crowd out others, someone may have a bad winter. And it is in the power of the gardener to intervene in this chaotic life and put things in order there. Desolation or abundance of weeds can also be the reasons for "redrawing".
We take measures:
- choose a sunny day for work;
- carry out work every 3-5 years;
- over time, many flowers become overgrown with dewlap or wheatgrass. Dig up a perennial and look at the condition of the root system. To make the earthen lump go away better, soak it in water first;
- dig up the flower garden, removing debris and weeds;
- apply mineral and organic fertilizers to the ground;
- division of bushes - using a shovel, the root is cut into several parts. It is loved by peonies, daylilies, irises;
- transplanting a flower to a new location. Fresh soil is rich in oxygen, this will help the perennial to better transfer the transplant. Help the flower at first - feed it, loosen the soil well and water it more often. You can mulch this site.
Choosing perennial flowers
There are several dozen types of perennial flowers. But not all are popular and in demand among our gardeners and gardeners.
The most common are tulips, crocuses, lupins, irises, daffodils, phloxes, lilies of the valley, bruner, astilba, verbena and daylilies. They are often found in gardens.
Plants are unpretentious in care, require a minimum of effort for their growth. Most are not capricious to sunlight, they are satisfied with any place in the garden.
Landing rules:
- when updating a flower garden, remember the size of the plant - what it will be in 2-3 years;
- take into account the timing of flowering - some come out immediately after the snow melts (crocuses, tulips, daffodils), some take time (astilba, verbena and daylilies);
- forming a flower garden, you can plant annuals between perennial flowers. For example, marigolds - bloom almost until the first frost. Looks beautiful in flower beds of viola (pansies), gerbera or gladioli;
- a flower bed can be formed from some perennials, and the distance between flowers can be beautifully overlaid with stones or tree bark.
To give the flower garden a finished look, decorative elements are used. Conifers, which can be formed in the same way as perennial flowers, are successfully combined in flower beds with perennials.
