Why is it better to choose perennials for a flower bed?
- Perennials require less attention to themselves than annuals. They do not need to be replanted every year.
- Some of them can grow in one place for up to 10 years.
- They tolerate frost well.
- Perennials are much more profitable to have than annuals. Indeed, you can get several from one plant by dividing the bush during transplantation or using seeds or cuttings. That is, having paid once for a perennial, you can get several of the same plants for free and even share them with neighbors or friends.
Groups of perennial plants by growth
When creating a flower bed, you need to take into account the growth of plants. In the middle, you need to place tall flowers, then medium ones and undersized or border ones along the edges. Otherwise, the composition will look ugly if tall plants cover undersized ones.
Stunted flowers
This group includes perennials that reach a height of no more than 30 cm. These are pansies, periwinkle, phlox.
With the help of pansies, you can create a real multi-colored carpet, because the variety of their colors is huge.
Perfect for creating a periwinkle alpine slide. Using it, you can get a bright green coating with small blue flowers.
Phlox can serve as a wonderful decoration. Their delicate flowers come in different shades: white, pink, burgundy.
Medium-sized
Medium-sized plants include plants up to 1 m in height. With their help, you can create tiered compositions. Most often used daylilies, radio.
Daylilies not only decorate the flower bed with beautiful flowers, but also fill the garden with aroma. They can grow in one place for up to 10 years.
The radiola blooms for the first two summer months. It can be yellow or pink.
Tall
The tallest flowers should be in the center of the flower bed. Some of them can grow up to 2 meters in height. For example, a stock-rose. It blooms from June to September in large peony-like double flowers.
Many growers choose sunflowers for the center of their beds, which bloom in the second half of summer. They are very bright and immediately catch the eye, at the same time they go well with other plants.
Curly
Climbing plants such as wisteria, maiden grapes, honeysuckle, and a climbing rose can be planted to decorate gazebos and create hedges.
Autumn is a great time to create a flower bed. Using our tips, create a piece of paradise on your site that will delight you and your guests for many years.
