Autumn work in the flower garden and in the garden will be rewarded with interest in spring, when flowers, planted correctly in the autumn, will delight the gardener with their flowering on warm spring days. Here are the colors I would like to remind you of here so that the gardener does not forget to plant them in the fall, taking advantage of the last warm days of the outgoing summer cottage season
Tulip
The first on the planting list of flowers in the fall should be bulbous. Bulbs tolerate winter well, its cold, thanks to the supply of nutrients in each of them. Of course, His Excellency, the tulip opens the hit parade of bulbous flowers. He will be one of the first to delight the eyes of a gardener and his guests when it blooms with bright colors on an almost bare spring ground.
An early tulip variety is planted around the beginning of November. Planting depth - 10-15 centimeters. When replanting and digging tulip bulbs, you still need to look at their variety. Bulbs of certain tulips after flowering are left in the ground without digging. There are varieties whose bulbs should be dug up and planted in the soil in the fall.
Before planting the bulbs in the ground, the soil is not immediately dug up, they try to do this earlier so that the soil settles, compresses, and after planting it adheres well to the bulb.
As an organic fertilizer for planting tulip bulbs, use humus, onion husks, ground chicken egg shells, and ash can also be used.
Hyacinth
The second most popular garden flower after tulips, which is planted by every second gardener in his flower garden. For planting before winter, pick up bulbs of equal medium size, plant them to a depth of 10-15 cm. Try to plant them on a flower garden plot, where there will be more sun in winter and spring, since hyacinths are light-loving plants.
I would like to remind you that hyacinths bloom in the garden in late April and early May. When the summer is dry, they need to be watered abundantly, especially when buds are tied on the plants. After flowering, do not forget about hyacinths, they need watering for a couple of weeks.
Narcissus
Narcissus bulbs should be planted in the ground in September. The planting depth of the daffodil is calculated as follows. Determine the diameter of the bulb by eye. So the depth of the hole is equal to three of its diameters. Put coarse sand on the bottom of the planting hole.
Planted? The narcissist doesn't need anything else. And in the spring, when the first sprouts appear from the ground, fertilize the daffodils with ammonium nitrate. Later, when budding occurs, the plant should be fed with phosphorus and potassium before flowering. These beautiful creatures with a proud flower-head will bloom around May.
Muscari
The bulbs of these flowers are planted in early September, and in cold regions generally at the end of August. Plant them only on the growing moon. Muscari have very tiny bulbs, so you don't need to dig holes for planting them, but trenches three flower bulbs deep.
Most likely, these flowers got their name for their pleasant musky aroma during flowering. I must say that these garden flowers are unpretentious, therefore it is not at all necessary to feed them when planting. During the budding and flowering period, muscari, like other flowers from the garden, love organic fertilizing for garden flowers.
Crocus
Most often these are wonderful garden spring flowers of various lilac shades. Sometimes they are bright yellow. The bulbs of these plants are planted in early September. They are planted to a depth of three lengths of their bulbs. Crocuses are among the first to emerge from under the melting snow in early spring. When planting, you can fertilize the soil with humus. In the spring - feeding on purpose can be omitted.
Other flowers for winter in the garden
You can sow only cold-resistant annual flowers before winter. Such are naturally already prepared for wintering under the thickness of snow in order to survive the spring frosts and bloom to warmth.
But there is one rule. They need to be planted in the already frozen ground, after frequent frosts in the fall. Otherwise, if suddenly there will be a thaw after planting, sprouts of plants deceived by the short and warm nature will hatch from under the ground. And in winter, such plants will simply die.
It is also important to calculate the planting so that in the spring the seeds of flowers planted before winter are not washed off the site by melt water. Annuals that can withstand cold temperatures include adonis, aster, annual cornflower, carnation, calendula, aster, marigolds, cosmea, lavater, mignonette, chrysanthemum and many other annuals.
