Good afternoon, my reader. It is customary to honor the memory of those who left this world with flowers. This tradition is observed all over the world, regardless of religion or culture. Flowers go to the grave, which are unpretentious in care and take root well in any climate. This is done with the expectation that the graves will not be looked after daily, and the beauty of the flowers should be maintained for a long period of time. In addition, you need to choose the right flowers so as not to violate centuries-old traditions.

Most suitable plants
It all depends on the soil in which the flowers will grow. She may be:
- sandy;
- clayey;
- black earth.
It is also worth paying special attention to the place, since the type of plants depends on the amount of sunlight.
Carpet flowers
Choosing flowers weaving on the ground is a good solution. They will cover all the ugly areas and create a nice looking pattern. Periwinkle is perfect for this, as its bright blue color goes well with greenery and perfectly decorates the grave. The place looks neat and well-groomed, but due to the possibility of transferring roots to neighboring areas, you need to constantly monitor the plant.
Bunch flowers
Iris and daffodil are great here. The first is traditionally considered the flower of the dead, so it is perfect for the grave. It is necessary to plant flowers next to each other, while trying to make a minimum gap. Flowering begins in early spring, and the period itself lasts until June.
Small trees
Also an interesting solution would be to plant a small tree or bush. With a large number of various plantings, the grave will take the form of a small garden, which will stand out among the gloomy tones of the cemetery. It is strongly discouraged to plant large trees, as the roots will prevent burying the deceased in nearby graves and will deform monuments.
Suitable flowers
In some countries, such plants are called flowers of the dead. They are unpretentious to the climate, do not require special attention to themselves and create color on any grave. Echinacea, calendula, rudbeckia are perfect, as they are low and live for more than one year. Spring flowers can be planted if you can visit the cemetery more than once a year. You can think of tulips, daffodils, forget-me-nots, or sandpits. Their bloom begins immediately after the snow melts. They perfectly decorate the grave and do not require much attention.
With constant care of the grave, plants will take on interesting shapes and patterns that will create the feeling of a real garden. Thus, you can do a good job of honoring the memory of the deceased, providing an attractive view of the monument and decorating the gloomy tones of the cemetery.
