The flowerbed on the garden plot is the pride of the owner of the cottage. After all, this is not only a decoration of landscape design, but also an opportunity to show what fantasy and taste of a flower grower are capable of, how he knows how to select plants and which ones receive care. To ensure an almost year-round flower garden of perennials, plants are needed that have different flowering times, so they will delight from early spring to late autumn. To support this effect, the following rule must be observed. There must be one bush that is fully blooming, two that are about to bloom and several that have already faded. Perennials can be diluted with annual plants. Then the flowerbed will always be bright and unusual.
As a rule, flowers that are unpretentious in care and do not require frequent watering are taken into such compositions. They can even grow in a shaded place. This facilitates the task of selecting a site for them. At the same time, the “long-playing” flower bed of perennials is able to decorate the recreation area. You can break a flower bed near the fence, next to the cottage or in the corner of the garden. But nevertheless, the most preference should be given to well-lit areas. Plants belonging to this group are diverse. Thanks to the richness of varieties, shapes and types of them excellent mixborders are obtained.
When developing a project for a future flower bed, it is enough to consider the schemes of flower beds from perennials, they allow you to think through all the nuances and characteristics of specific types of plants. You should consider the beginning of their flowering (from 2 or 3 seasons). High views (for example, "spiky" lyatris) can be placed in the center of the composition. As a frame will serve as a short bell "Carpathian", and the purple yarrow "ptarmika" will become a wonderful neighbor . Such compositions may form a decorative pattern. You can play on the difference in plant height. In this case, flowers or shrubs that are more tall will act as a background. An interesting option is the use for this purpose of cereal plants, for example miscanthus or lightning.
The flower garden from perennials will look most advantageous, in which such beautiful plants as goldenrod "hybrid", sedum "prominent", catnip "fassen" are present in the background . They are distinguished by long flowering periods, especially the latter species. As a frame for flower beds, ground cover plants (thyme), as well as aromatic, such as oregano, are suitable. Mint has a very bright, green color, then yellowness appears, and at the end the plant acquires a golden green color. It gives the composition freshness.
As a rule, a flower garden of perennials is formed from the spring months when ornamental plants are planted in fertile soil. Most of them do not require shelter for the winter. The exception is oregano and Miscanthus. Flowers selected for flower beds form compact bushes and are highly decorative. From spring to autumn, beautiful flower beds from perennials will not only delight the eye, but also treat, since many plants have healing properties.
