In the fall, summer residents have enough work in the garden. Some gardeners not only prepare plants and plots for wintering, but also plant flowers so that in the spring, as soon as the snow melts, they can enjoy the riot of colors.
Spring flowering plants
Bulbous plants bloom in early spring:
- snowdrops;
- muscari;
- crocuses;
- slopes.
A little later, when the soil warms up and stable warm weather sets in, they delight with their flowering:
- tulips;
- daffodils;
- hyacinths.
Flower tubers are prepared and planted outdoors from mid-September to late October. In the ground, they tolerate winter well.
Anemones
These vibrant plants begin to bloom in early spring. There are varieties that adorn the flower bed in summer and autumn.
Anemones are perennials that reach a height of about 30 cm. Species grown from rhizomes are unpretentious, respond to minimal agricultural techniques with bright, long flowering.
They start planting in mid-October, choosing a dry, sunny day. Rhizomes are dug up with a clod of earth - so the plant is less injured and takes root faster in a new place.
Planting material purchased in a specialized store is soaked in Kornevin before planting.
The most popular varieties among gardeners are:
- Yes Kaen Bicolor. The variety is distinguished by large white inflorescences with a bright scarlet ring in the middle.
- De Caen Sulfide. The flowers are bright pink with a black center.
- Saint Bridget Governer. This variety is grown for cutting.
Stemless primrose
A plant that has won the hearts of many gardeners with its vibrant orange, yellow, scarlet, pink and bicolor petals. In the spring, flower beds erupt with an extraordinary riot of colors.
Primrose looks great in combination with hosts and hellebore.

Most often grown varieties:
- Rosanna. The owner of large, double flowers and a rich palette of colors.

The hellebore is unpretentious in the choice of soil, prefers a shady place under trees or shrubs.
For autumn breeding, the method of dividing the rhizome is chosen. They choose a young, strong, healthy mother bush and carry out the procedure on a dry, warm day.
The hellebore responds well to spring fertilization: it grows actively and blooms for a long time.
The most popular varieties:
- Double Ellen Pikoti. It is considered the most beautiful. The buds are large, terry white-pink shades with burgundy veins.
- Double Ellen Green. A variety that is grown for cutting. It blooms not only in spring, but with proper care, it can bloom again in autumn.

Lesser periwinkle
Perennial, which, like hellebore, prefers shade. It is drought tolerant and unpretentious in soil selection. However, under favorable conditions, it actively grows and can suppress and oppress other plants.
Landscape designers use periwinkle to create a dense rug with vibrant blue colors.
For planting in the fall, varieties are chosen:
- Evelen. With flowers of a violet hue.
- Ralph Schugert. It differs not only in the brightness of the flowers, but also in the carved dark green leaves.
Already at the very beginning of the season, before the snow has time to melt, the first bright colors of spring-flowering plants appear on the site, which are not demanding to care for, but nevertheless delightful.
