If you ask a city person what types of onions he knows, most likely, he will have enough fingers of one hand to list: green, onion, slime, wild garlic, plus garlic. But the summer resident will need much more fingers. After all, true lovers of onions grow it not only to protect against the "seven ailments", but also as a spectacular ornamental plant
Decorative bows in the country
Several hundred types of onions exist on Earth. So, the amateur gardener has a lot to choose from. Moreover, you can choose the types of onions that bloom at different times, with different colors, turning one of the corners of the dacha into a unique onion garden that will delight the entire summer season. Such a garden has its own name - "Allarius". With the arrival of cold weather, you can move this splendor to the house, extending the charm for the whole year.
The following types of onions will decorate spring and early summer with their flowering: Aflatunsky, tall, tallest, giant, caratavsky, red, stalked, strange, Suvorov, Christoph, wild garlic, chives, Schubert.
At the height of summer, they will bloom: blue, mountain-loving, mountain, oblique, Moli's bow, blue-blue and black-purple.
By the fall, they will bloom: cornflower blue, slime, daffodil and sweet onion, which will bloom until frost.
Since all onions do not bloom for too long, plant beautifully leafed plants around them. Groundcover or low-growing creepers, such as thyme or creeping thyme, are good companions for onions. Collect onion seeds in a timely manner so that they do not scatter throughout the garden.
Chives (rezun, chives)
Chives are cultivated as a vegetable and ornamental plant in many countries around the world. This perennial plant grows without problems in one place for 4-5 years.
In early spring, it grows quickly, branches beautifully and gives a large amount of greenery, which is enough for food and for decorating the beds. Schnitt-onion does not retire, as ephemeral bows do (for example, the highest, tall, Aflatunsky, giant), and therefore it can be grown indoors at any time of the year.
Chives have many delicate bright green leaves, spherical openwork inflorescences, which make it a very decorative plant. Chives bloom in June-July with pink, red-purple inflorescences.
The plant is cold-resistant, lover of moisture. Propagated vegetatively, or by dividing the bush in late August or early spring.
The chive bow is beautiful both in a single fit and in a group. It will decorate and protect vegetables from pests if planted in the garden. Suitable for any type of flower garden, will revive the monotony of the green lawn.
Karatavsky bow
The karatavsky onion is one of the most decorative and original types of onions.
Wide (up to 15 cm), flat, elliptical leaves surround a flower arrow, the height of which reaches 25-30 centimeters. A multi-flowered spherical inflorescence with a diameter of up to 12 centimeters, collected from light pink-purple flowers, crowns a flowering arrow.
The Karatav onion chooses non-acidic fertile soils, which must be loosened regularly. Onions bloom for three weeks, starting at the end of May, giving fruit-seeds in July.
Karatav onions are propagated by seeds, children and bulbs.
The plant is well suited for any type of flower garden. Looks great as a group on a green lawn.
Moli's onion (golden onion)
To prevent its golden flowers from fading, the Moli's onion chooses places open to the sun, but it can grow in partial shade. He prefers moderately fertile soils, does not tolerate stagnant water, although he loves moist soils.
You can propagate by seeds, but you have to wait for the result for three years, therefore, it is more often propagated by dividing the bush. The bulbs are fertile for children, so the plant should be planted at least once every 4 years. Moli's onion tastes like garlic, so it is great for country meals.
Moli's bow is suitable for curbs. In flower beds, it looks good against the background of plants with blue flowers. Great for alpine slides. Beautiful both in a single landing and in a group.
