Every gardener and gardener knows how many worries come with the beginning of a new season. You need to have time to sow seeds for seedlings, and carry out pruning, and remove the shelter and much, much more. And I would like flowers to grow and please the eye in addition to vegetables and fruits. But often they no longer have either the strength or the time … And yet, there is a trick, how to do everything, and at the same time admire the beautiful flower bed. You just need to choose unpretentious flowers that do not need to be propagated through seedlings and can be sown in the spring directly into the ground. Let's take a closer look at these specimens
Blooming Alyssum carpet
Many grow alissum, he is also lobularia, through seedlings. But this stunted plant may well grow when sown directly into the ground. This is one of the most unpretentious plants. You can not be afraid to sow it in the country, which you visit once every one or two weeks. The flower is highly drought tolerant. And despite all the hardships, it continues to bloom with a lush carpet.
Other advantages of alyssum are its pleasant aroma and variety of colors. Its petals are full of crimson, lilac, blue, violet, blue, pink shades, as well as white flowers. By the way, the flowering period of alyssum is from May to October, so for a long time it will delight flower growers with an elegant and neat look.
Delicate butterfly escholzia
Eschsholzia is another unpretentious plant that you can sow on your site and forget about leaving. These are annual and perennial herbaceous plants.
Once you've sowed Escholzia, you don't have to worry about doing it again. The flower propagates by self-sowing. In general, this is a rather independent plant. If the summer is moderately rainy, then the plant will not even need additional watering. It will grow well and delight the grower with bright flowering.
And the flowers of the Escholzia are a feast for the eyes. Delicate petals, like the wings of butterflies, flutter from the slightest breath of breeze. The plant belongs to the poppy family, and red escholzia are indeed very similar to poppies. Although in nature, Californian escholzia with orange petals is more common.
In addition, there are varieties with white, pink, yellow, lilac and bicolor petals. Flowering is also long - from June to October.
Variegated cornflowers
Another unpretentious and bright flower is cornflower. Unlike the undersized alyssum, which spreads on the ground, and the herbaceous escholzia, cornflowers are taller plants. Do not forget about this nuance when planning your flower bed. In addition, cornflowers may need support. In a flower bed, they can be tied to pegs. And for flowering to last longer - cut off the dried inflorescences.
By the way, cornflowers dissolve buds not only with blue and blue petals. There are other shades of flowers - red, pink, lilac, white. So they can also brightly decorate the flower bed.
Multicolored nasturtium, lavatera and kosmeya
And if you are a fan of different colors, then you should also like nasturtium and lavater. They also belong to unpretentious plants. For nasturtium to succeed, it is recommended to soak it in a damp cloth for a day before sowing.
Kosmeya comes with a simple flower and a double one. It is a more thermophilic flower. And you should not sow it before May.
Soil orderlies marigold
Marigolds are not only a very beautiful, but also a very useful plant, especially for the garden and vegetable garden. If you have seeds of a non-double variety with small flowers, then it is still quite possible to sow them directly into open ground. But varieties with larger double flowers are still better to grow through seedlings. Or at least sow in a cold greenhouse. This is an amazing plant that can be painlessly transplanted from place to place in a flowering state. Their smell repels insect pests, and the roots clear the soil of nematodes.
