Flowers in flower beds in gardens and plots create an attractive and particularly disturbing view of the area. The choice of plants for these purposes is a responsible and very important issue. Chrysanthemums are one of the favorite flowers for garden decoration for many summer residents

Very few landscape designers use the beauty of this plant in their designs. But among ordinary gardeners, chrysanthemums are in demand and popularity, because it is almost impossible to imagine a garden without their presence.

Not everyone likes this attractive plant most often because caring for it is very laborious. You can forget about laziness and unwillingness to take care of the flower if the summer resident decided to please himself with chrysanthemums blooming in the garden in the fall. The process of caring and caring includes a lot of different activities. Including watering, shaping, weeding, feeding and even dividing by cuttings, and in rare cases even renewal.

Russian gardens often contain entire flower beds or flower beds with chrysanthemums. There are many types of this plant, which allows summer residents to choose flowers in accordance with their tastes and preferences. The first shoots of the Korean garden chrysanthemum begin to sprout during the year when the air temperature reaches two to six degrees Celsius.

In the spring months, chrysanthemums begin to emerge from the soil very early. They can be noticed even earlier than the shoots of peonies, hosts and other flowers. A distinctive feature of chrysanthemums can be considered the carved nature of the leaves. The shade of the plant resembles a bluish color, which is ideally combined with any palette and flower arrangement.

Chrysanthemum bushes are usually very lush, and the best shape for it is domed. The plant belongs to the structural type, but unlike other similar crops, the required volume will be reached already in the first year after the chrysanthemums are planted. Some varieties of chrysanthemums have a spreading bush-shaped character. It is especially pronounced if you do not pinch the plant. Flowers like these will be able to shade perennial crops with regular geometric lines.

The flowering of chrysanthemums of the Korean type can occur in any weather, if the air temperature does not fall below minus ten degrees Celsius. But even in frost, the plant does not die, but can begin its development anew after the snow thaws and warming begins. Of course, in the milder climatic conditions of the southern countries, this dignity of chrysanthemums does not play a role, therefore the flowers themselves are not very popular in the design of territories and gardens. But in our region, things are completely different. In the central part, you can stop being afraid of frost only around the tenth of June, and from the fifteenth of September the weather again begins to become colder.

As a result, for Russia, the ability of chrysanthemums to endure frosts is a very positive circumstance, because flowers can delight the owner of the site for a very long time. Korean chrysanthemum species are able to decorate the garden all year round, subject to certain rules. Also, they will not lose their attractiveness, even renewing their vitality.

To create optimal conditions for the development of chrysanthemum flowers, you should pay attention to the flower beds raised above ground level. This can be achieved with an excellent drainage system. It is not recommended to make the shape of such flower beds convex, despite the fact that regular flower beds are often installed in this way. It is best to make the soil surface level and restrict it with concrete or stone curbs. Thus, in the first months of summer in hot weather, it will often be convenient to water chrysanthemums. And in the fall, this circumstance helps the water not to stagnate in the flower garden with chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums look great as participants in compositions performed in a regular style. In this case, flower beds can have absolutely any shape - be it at least a circle, at least a square, at least an oval. The main thing is to ensure that the overall appearance of the garden is attractive and harmonious.
