Throughout the spring, the flower garden delighted with bright colors. Crocuses were the first to break out from under the snow, then tulips, muscari and daffodils bloomed magnificently, hazel grouses proudly towered. But then summer has come, and the garden has ceased to please. The stems are bare, the leaves have withered and turned yellow - a familiar picture? This happens in those flower beds where the owner of the backyard does not take into account the flowering period of his pets and does not think about what kind of plant the plant will have after that. What can be done to make it pleasant to relax in the garden from early spring to late autumn?
Special perennials will help out
Many avid flower growers dream that the site will always be decorated with bright blossoming buds. But for those who, in addition to floriculture, are also engaged in the cultivation of garden crops and caring for an orchard, there is no time in this hot summer period to simultaneously beautify the flower beds - to dig out those that have already retired and plant new flowers on the vacated beds.
So is the flower garden doomed to be empty and make you sad? Not at all, for this it is only necessary to acquire such perennials that have an attractive decorative appearance from early spring to the arrival of autumn.
So that the flower garden is generously strewn with flowers
And the first among such perennials, which are worth paying attention to, are daylilies. Many of them also bloom in spring. But there are varieties that continue to form buds during the summer and even in September. As a rule, the buds of these flowers bloom for a day or two, however, an adult plant is capable of producing many flower arrows, and thus the flowering period stretches for 3-4 weeks. In addition, the foliage of daylilies retains its decorative effect even after the end of the flowering period. Therefore, their bright lush plantings will delight the eye for a long time.
Another perennial that has varieties with a large amplitude during flowering periods is astilba. Unlike daylilies, this flower retains the panicles of its inflorescences longer. The flowering period lasts about a month. But even after that, astilba remains very attractive thanks to its large carved foliage. This is especially true for varieties with a crimson and bronze tint of the leaf plate.
Badan also belongs to the number of perennials that continue to delight with lush bright green foliage even after the end of the flowering period. The plant has bright, attractive flowers of red, crimson and pink hues. They rise on a thick peduncle over a wide rosette of rounded leathery leaves. It is an unpretentious plant that has many advantages over more capricious flowers. Among these qualities are frost resistance, unpretentiousness to the composition of the soil, bergenia develops well in the sun and in shady corners. He can be assigned a place near trees or planted among rockery stones. With the arrival of autumn, the foliage changes its color from a dark green color closer to a bronze-burgundy shade.
The special charm of decorative deciduous perennials
Along with beautifully flowering plants, their decorative deciduous counterparts will become a bright decoration of flower beds. It is worth paying attention to such a couple as host and heuchera. At a certain period, they also bloom, but they are more valued for their variegated, extremely beautiful foliage.
Geykhera produces several peduncles crowned with a loose panicle of inflorescences. But attention is drawn to its original carved leaves. The color of the leaf plate of various varieties will decorate the flower bed no worse than the blossoming buds of other flowering plants. The leaf plate is yellow, purple, red, burgundy, purple, with contrasting veins and a bright border.
Hosts' curtains are no less attractive. Its color spectrum is not as wide as that of Heuchera. However, the number of shades of green and the variants of variegated patterns on the leaf plate amaze the most daring imagination.
