Unpretentious autumn flowers: long-flowering perennials for the garden

With the onset of September, autumn comes into its own faster and faster. But it is too early to part with the beauty of the garden. Until the snow falls, they amaze with the play of bright colors of the clumps of garden geraniums. Badan dresses up in purple tones. On slides and curbs, stonecrops are surprising with bizarre forms. There are a lot of unpretentious garden perennials in the garden.

Phlox

One of the brightest "stars" of the autumn flower bed is phlox. These plants winter excellently in most regions, forming green clumps in spring. They bloom in the second half of summer, almost until October, retaining an incredible variety of colors and splendor of inflorescences.

In the list of cultivated phlox today there are more than four dozen species, among which only Drummond's phlox is an annual. All other creeping, bushy, semi-lying forms with stems from 20 to 150 cm in height are ready to settle in the garden of a lover of decorative and unpretentious perennial flowers for many years.

Perennial asters

Annual asters are the constant leaders in the list of garden summer cottages and gardens. However, true or perennial asters are often and undeservedly forgotten.

From August until the very snow, these plants bloom, illuminating the entire area with flashes of blue, white, pink, purple hues. There are more than 200 types of perennial asters, differing in size, lifestyle and shape. Alpine aster is very small. Its inflorescences-baskets are located on herbaceous erect stems, resembling the familiar chamomile. And in the Italian variety - the form of a herbaceous, densely leafy shrub, completely covered with medium-sized flowers. Moreover, all types are extremely decorative and not capricious.

The height of perennial asters varies from 20 centimeters to one and a half meters.Flowers can be not only of different colors, but simple and double. These perennials form dense dark green clumps from spring. In summer, they easily tolerate excess light and moisture deficit. And in the fall they completely transform the garden.

Shrub forms lend themselves to shaping, with their help you can create dense living borders and picturesque groups with other autumn plants.

The only drawback of perennial asters is inherent in many perennial crops. A plant that takes root in the garden begins to multiply uncontrollably, quickly mastering new territories. So that the previously colorful flowerbed does not turn into the "kingdom" of asters, you will have to monitor the settlement of the shrub and regularly remove the shoots.

Each of the 30 described ornamental plants can claim the title of the most unpretentious perennial flower for a summer residence. All of them are beautiful and amazing in their own way. In fact, the list of non-capricious cultures requiring minimal attention and generously sharing their beauty is not three dozen, but much more. One has only to look around, notice and transfer an interesting plant to the garden. Pre-choose a suitable place and neighborhood for the flower.

We invite you dear readers to share information about your favorite perennial plants.

Home care for asparagus

Illumination

For growing asparagus, choose an eastern or western window sill. The fact is that he needs bright sunlight, but at the same time the scorching direct rays of the sun should not fall on him. However, the rays of the morning or evening sun will not harm the plant. If a place for asparagus was found only in the southern room, then it should be placed away from the window. With the onset of May, the bush can begin to accustom to fresh air, but this must be done gradually. And in the summertime, it can be moved to the garden or to the balcony, while the place for it must be chosen one that will be protected from precipitation, the scorching rays of the midday sun and a draft.

Temperature regime

Make sure that in the summer, asparagus is not in the heat for a long time (more than 25 degrees). The optimum temperature for him in the spring and summer is from 22 to 24 degrees. If in the winter months the bush is in a room that is too warm (more than 15 degrees), then foliage will begin to fly around it, even if the air humidity is increased. Dried shoots must be cut off.

Watering

During active growth, indoor asparagus provide abundant regular watering. The soil mixture in the pot is moistened immediately after its top layer dries. In the autumn-winter period, watering is carried out only a couple of days after the top layer of the substrate in the pot has dried. Make sure that there is no overdrying of the clod of earth in the pot, and no stagnation of liquid in it. It is recommended to water the asparagus through the drip tray. To do this, the required amount of water is poured into the pan, and after 30 minutes. from it is poured out that the soil mixture has not absorbed.

Air humidity

When grown indoors, it is recommended to systematically moisten asparagus from a sprayer, especially if the room is too hot. The best time to moisturize the bush is early morning or evening (shortly before sunset). You can increase the humidity of the air by pouring moistened sphagnum or expanded clay into the pallet, and placing a container with a plant on it, while moistening from a spray bottle is also carried out regularly.

Bloom

To bloom asparagus grown indoors, you need to try hard. But if it begins to bloom, then inflorescences consisting of small white flowers will grow on the tops of its stems. If desired, carry out artificial pollination, for this, take pollen on one flower with a soft brush and gently move it to another. The fruit is a deep red berry.

Pruning

Asparagus pruning is carried out in early spring when transplanting a bush.To do this, cut off all leafless stems, which are already very old, thanks to this, the growth of young shoots is improved.

Fertilizer

Such a plant should be fed all year round. In winter, feeding is carried out 1 time in 4 weeks, in the autumn months - 1 time in half a month, and in the spring-summer period, the frequency of feeding is increased to one in 7 days. For this, mineral complex fertilizers are used, while they can be alternated with organic matter. The finished formula should be very low in concentration.

Asparagus transplant

A young bush, before it turns 4 or 5 years old, is transplanted once a year in the spring. An older plant needs to be transplanted less often, namely, once every 2 or 3 years. Asparagus needs to be transplanted so often because its root system is very fast growing. In this regard, during transplantation, it is necessary to take a pot that is slightly larger than the old one, while the roots should be slightly trimmed.

Be sure to pour a good drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, for the creation of which expanded clay is used, due to this, there will be no stagnation of liquid in the substrate. A suitable soil mixture should consist of humus and leafy soil, and also sand (2: 2: 1). If desired, you can also add 2 parts of soddy soil to this soil mixture. The transplanted bush is well watered, and after 7 days the first feeding is already carried out.

Asparagus. Transfer.

Virulence

If during the flowering of asparagus its flowers are manually pollinated, then red berries can form, which contain poison. In no case should they be eaten.

This special attention should be paid to those who have pets or children.

Eucharis

This plant is also bulbous. His homeland is the Amazon and the foothills of the Andes. One of its names sounds like "Amazonian lily", but this is not entirely true, because the flower has more similarities with daffodils than with lilies. The plant is resistant and very delicate. Several buds bloom on high peduncles, which reach 12 cm in diameter. They hang down, since the corolla tube is long.

The buds are snow-white and large, and inside the corolla there is a yellow-green crown. Translated from the ancient Greek language, the name of this fragrant plant means "full of charm." Indeed, the tenderness and pleasant appearance have made the flower popular in interior design.

However, the beauty of eucharis is deceiving: beautiful in appearance, it can harm a person, since the poison contained in it causes kidney problems, vomiting and dyspepsia. Therefore, only experienced florists are taken to grow it. However, with proper care, the plant will delight you with abundant flowering twice a year.
