This warm winter is relaxing, stimulating the imagination of flower growers. Even the increased frost, promised a few days ago, does not frighten flower lovers. They meticulously sort through bright bags of flower seeds on the shelves of specialty stores, presenting these flowers at their summer cottage. Eyes run up with abundance, but it is impossible to embody all this wealth at home, for this, neither the size of the site, nor twenty-four hours a day will be enough. You have to moderate your appetite for flowers, choosing the most cherished and proven ones and adding a couple of new species
Selection criteria for annuals
Annuals discharge the planting of perennial flowers so that the flower garden pleases with paints the entire summer season, or they arrange an independent feast for annuals. To make the holiday a success, there are many things to consider:
• Harmony with existing plantings.
• Qualitative composition and acidity of the soil.
• The height and splendor of the bush.
• Flowering time of the plant.
• The color range of the plant.
• The natural compatibility of the plant with your aura.
• Possible frequency of planting maintenance and many other small, but influencing the event's ultimate success moments.
Harmony of landings
When incorporating a new plant into an existing landscape, you need to take care of its harmony with what is already there. You should not chase the exotic if you do not have enough time to care for it, there is no way to provide the exotic with its usual living conditions. Take a look around. In every locality there are many plants worthy of attention that are not capricious, do not require special conditions, but are content with what they have, giving aromas and beauty.
Soil composition and acidity
If you plant a plant without taking into account its needs for chemicals, fertility and soil moisture, then you have to work hard to grow a healthy and beautiful plant. Moreover, fertile soil is not at all an indicator of its suitability for any plant. There are ascetic plants, accustomed to poor soils, drought, and therefore fertile soil will destroy them.
When choosing seeds, read the annotation on the bag to see if the conditions of your site are suitable for successful growth.
Plant dimensions
When planting young seedlings that take up little space, do not forget that the plant will have to grow and occupy, perhaps, three to five times more area. Moreover, many annuals have such early maturity. Among them: amaranth, annual dahlias, ornamental corn, scented tobacco, kohija, kosmeya and others.
Among medium-sized annuals, the popular ones can be noted: mattiola (levkoy), dimorphoteka (cape marigold), tender escholzia, verbena, spikelets of salvia (sage of predictors), scarlet poppies, antirrinum (snapdragon), graceful lavender.
As a ground cover, to decorate the alpine slides, you will need undersized plants: dwarf viols, fragrant night violets, lovely blue nemophila, snow-white Iberis inflorescences.
The natural compatibility of the plant with your aura
Surely, every gardener at least once in his life has come across an amazing phenomenon. Some plant, in spite of excellent care and suitable living conditions, does not agree to grow and develop on your site, although a neighbor in similar conditions is full of health and pleases with abundant flowering.
Today, when science reveals more and more natural secrets, it is scientifically proven that plants also have a sensitive aura, which may not coincide with the aura of a particular person, as it happens between people. When such a phenomenon concerns people, enmity is born, or two such people try not to touch in business, in life, but prefer to stay away from each other.
Therefore, if the plant does not want to be friends with you, abandon it, replace it with another, more friendly to you. Moreover, with today's abundance, this is very easy to do.

Shade-loving Annuals
In previous articles, I briefly talked about shade-loving perennials. But if you don't want to look at the same flowers every year, then you can plant annual flowers that feel great in the shade. These include scented tobacco, lobelia, and nasturtium
Favorite White Color
Outside the window, drizzling sweeps up rare remnants of bare plant stems, as if trying to dust our memory of summer. But white flakes of snow softly fall on the spreading paws of the spruce, dressing up the garden in white clothes, visually increasing its size, giving rise to a feeling of freedom and lightness. The same lightness and whiteness can be given to a summer garden by planting plants with white flowers in it
