If you plant perennials on a plot of land favorable for their growth, then for several years the summer resident is freed from routine work, devoting time to rest against the background of the amazing beauty of the flower garden. I offer one of the many options for arranging such a flower bed
This flower bed will delight you every summer season with its amazing beauty. True, in the intervals between perennials, you will have to plant annual plants. But they are all quite easy to care for, and therefore will not cause much trouble.
All the perennials that we select for this bright long-lived flower bed need sunlight and well-drained soil. Of course, a flower bed will not do without watering and timely fertilizing with fertilizers. After all, any living representative of our planet needs high-quality nutrition and moisture for favorable growth. When preparing your flower bed for planting, be sure to add compost to the soil.
Periodically, it is necessary to loosen the soil so that air can pass to the roots, as well as to prevent diseases, pests and weeds. Tall plants should be tied up if necessary. To maintain the appearance of the flower garden, wilted flowers need to be removed.
Background
In the background we will place a tall
Mullein (Verbascum). In culture, as a rule, its hybrid varieties are used. A bushy perennial grows up to 2 meters in height. In summer, the bush is completely covered with yellow five-petal flowers (up to 1.5 cm in diameter). When planting a Mullein cuttings, you need to be extremely careful not to damage its fleshy rhizome.
To the right of Mullein we plant 3 bushes
Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus). This annual is very unpretentious and grows up to a meter in height over the summer. Its delicate leaves will be an adornment in early summer. And in summer, the bush will be covered with surprisingly delicate flowers of different colors, giving rise to nostalgia in the soul. To maintain the appearance of Cosmos, wilted inflorescences should be removed.
On the left side of the yellow mullein flowers, yellow hearts bloom
Large-flowered cornflower (Cbrysantbemum maximum), surrounded by white petals. It is these petals that lovers of the whole world love to cut off, wondering at the narrowed, and not the petals of the Chamomile plant, which has smaller inflorescences, and the leaves are delicate and delicate. For our flower bed, 3 Nivyanik bushes will be enough. Perennial Nivyanik large-flowered grows up to 90 centimeters in height. The appearance of its inflorescences depends on the variety. They can be plain, double or semi-double. In order for the flower garden to always be pleasing to the eye, wilted flowers must be removed.
Medium plan
In front of Nivyanik and Mullein we plant 2 bushes of strict
Snapdragon (Antirrbinum majus). Although Snapdragon is a perennial plant, it is usually grown here as an annual. It can grow up to a meter in height, but we will choose varieties of a medium-sized plant. The color of the flowers can be very different.
Before Snapdragon, we will plant a perennial
Medicinal peony (Paeonia officinalis). In the first year, he will not have time to cover the proud "turrets" of Snapdragon with his greenery, which we will not sow here in the future. Peony bushes grow up to a meter tall and give red, and sometimes white or pink, flowers.
Foreground
Popular with us
Gladiolus (Gladiolus), whose inflorescence candles shine with all the colors of the rainbow, can be planted in spring, and in October, corms can be dug up and, if necessary, transplanted to another place next year. For our flower bed, you need 6 gladioli. The most popular among gladioli are hybrid varieties that bloom in summer. Their height varies from 40 to 140 centimeters. Gladiolus bulbs are stored in a cool, but not freezing room.
And in front of the gladioli, a perennial perennial will raise its bright inflorescences-panicles
Astilba (Astilbe). We need 10 seedlings. Many hybrid varieties of this very ornamental plant have been bred, which today they like to decorate city flower beds and flower beds. The height of Astilba is different, from 20 to 120 centimeters. The plant loves moist soil, rich in humus.

How To Remove Moss From A Flower Bed Or Lawn?
Moss often appears on lawns and flower beds. He delivers many unpleasant minutes to gardeners and summer residents, since it is not so easy to get rid of him. In addition, it is generally accepted that moss not only spoils the appearance of the decorative area, but also spoils the grass and flowers growing there. This is not entirely true.
