Almost every person who has a garden tries to plant trees, bushes and flowers in it. Landscaping is becoming more popular. It allows not only to decorate the site, but also to highlight it, to make the garden unique, special. Rock garden is a very important element of landscape design.
In order to organize it, it is necessary to select the appropriate material and plants. Flowers for the
Alpine slide must be selected very carefully (taking into account all territorial, seasonal and climatic conditions). If you yourself do not have the opportunity to figure it out, then use the advice of specialists.
So, it should be remembered that rock garden is a multi-tiered composition that requires plants of different heights. To make it beautiful for a long time, it is necessary to choose several types of flowers that will bloom, replacing each other.
Perennial flowers (undersized), for example, bulbous species, can be used on the highest tier. If the rock garden is on the sunny side of the garden, then plants need to be planted such that love the light and do not require abundant watering. For example, the evergreen Iberis is perfect for the top of the structure. It has a small height and blooms with beautiful white buds. Juniper and perennial cloves can also be an excellent decoration for the slide.
You can also choose flowers for the Alpine slide, such as
creeping thyme, edelweiss (really does not like shade and has certain difficulties in growing). As for the middle tier, plants that are equally fond of light and moisture are great for him. For example:
common lumbago (with large bells and very beautiful leaves), geyhra (has small flowers and original leaves),
alpine asters. In addition, gentian will decorate your hill, although it is quite difficult to care for. Cyclamen, primrose, Carpathian bell - these are all the flowers for the Alpine slide that will decorate your design from spring to autumn.
On the lowest tier, it is necessary to use those plants that love moisture more than the sun. Spikelet lyatris and saxifrage are adapted to such conditions. In addition, do not forget about plants that spread along the ground. They very beautifully distinguish a hill (for example, cotoneaster and spirea). They have a large number of different shades, so your design will turn out to be colorful and unique.
Perfectly decorate your garden with such flowers for an alpine hill as rhododendrons. They look great in plant compositions, although they can be placed "solo".
It should be noted that in our time there are ready-made schemes according to which you can organize an alpine hill on your own. They will be very useful for beginners who are just starting to do gardening. If you are an experienced lover of flowers, you can choose the scheme yourself. In any case, plants need to be planted so that they can bloom for a long time (and did not die due to improper conditions of detention).
