Why do we look forward to summer so impatiently, and sadness rolls over when autumn comes? Perhaps this is partly the fault of emptying and faded flower beds. If in the summertime the flower beds are decorated with bright petals of blossoming buds, then by autumn these areas dry up, empty and lose their attractive appearance. But this will not happen if, along with the summer houses, you also "settle" bright autumn flowers in your garden
Asters will help out in the autumn cold
Asters will delight the owners with their flowering before the arrival of stable October cold weather. In the southern regions, they continue to bloom in November. Perennials will not be harmed by morning frosts down to -5 ° C.
Asters are best planted in a well-lit area. It's not scary if there is a corner for them in partial shade. Asters can be propagated in different ways: sowing seeds, cuttings, dividing the bush. Division begins 3-4 years after disembarkation. Reproduction can be done at different times. If you come across a late-flowering variety, it is better to start this in the spring. Then she will decorate your flower beds with bright flowers this year. And with an autumn planting, this moment will have to wait until next year. For planting other varieties are accepted in the spring months and in the autumn. With the proviso that seed propagation will be better if you do this immediately after collecting the seed. Such plantings for the first time can bloom only after 2 years, but it happens even after a year.
Motley unpretentious heuchers for bright gardens
Another garden perennial that is not afraid of frost and will paint the garden with bright shades of dull autumn is Heuchera. This dwarf plant blooms from June to July, but its true decorative value lies in its large variegated leaves, which retain their unusual color in the most unimaginable shades until severe frosts and leave in winter with aerial rosette leaves. Having picked up varieties with the desired color palette, your plot can be turned into intricate paintings only thanks to this unusual foliage alone.
Areas with light nutritious soils are suitable for Heuchers. A perennial will thrive where the land is well drained and moisture does not stagnate. Can grow in rocky areas. In addition to frost resistance, another advantage of Heuchera is its shade tolerance. And also - these are very "friendly" plants and get along with almost any neighbors in the flower bed. Therefore, it is grown both in solo plantings and on mixborders, rabatkas in combination with other crops. In a complex multi-level flower bed, heuchera, it is better to take a place in the foreground. The combination of geyher with conifers is very harmonious - such a couple will become a bright decoration of the personal plot before the arrival of winter.
Heliotrope for mixborders and ridges
A bright flowering greenhouse perennial in the garden is grown as an annual crop. Many small bright flowers with petals of dark blue and purple shades are collected in large caps of corymbose inflorescences, covering dark green foliage. These plants have not only a very attractive decorative appearance, but also a pleasant strong aroma. The flowering is profuse and long lasting. The first buds open in the second half of June and continue to delight the eye until the arrival of frost, although the plant is thermophilic.
Open sunny areas are suitable for heliotrope. The soil must be sufficiently loose and permeable. So that the flower does not disappoint with its development and appearance, planting must be done on fertile soil. It responds well to mineral supplements. In order for the flower to grow into a neat compact bush, the top must be pinched. They are grown both in open ground on rabatkas, mixborders, and in a pot culture, they are also used to decorate verandas and balconies.
