TULIP - TULIPA

Garden tulips are types of plants that do not have a known specific parent and are planted in the fall and then dug up when the foliage turns yellow. Almost all bulbs in the catalogs are tulips. There are four main groups - early, late, large-flowered and unusual flowering varieties.

TULIP - TULIPA (T. Biflora cultivar)

Peculiarities

Many gardeners prefer to grow beautiful perennial flowers in their summer cottages that bloom throughout the summer season. Such "green pets" can be a wonderful decoration of the territory. The land planted with various perennials becomes brighter, "lively" and saturated. Different plants need different care. When grown correctly, they can be used to produce very spectacular landscape compositions that look great.

Many gardeners (especially beginners) are convinced that perennial plants in the garden need complex and constant care. In fact, among them there are a lot of species that are unpretentious and undemanding. Such varieties of perennials are becoming favorite among many gardening enthusiasts, since they are easy and simple to grow without spending a lot of time and effort. Perennial garden plants have many benefits. Let's get acquainted with them.

• For such flowers, there is no need to prepare seedlings in advance every year.Many of the perennial subspecies survive the winter season easily and without problems. Often, for the winter, they do not even have to be dug out beforehand.
• Regular transplanting to perennials is not important. They feel great in one place for 2-5 years. Thanks to this feature, gardeners have the opportunity to admire the beautiful flower arrangement for several years.
• Without buying fresh seeds and seedlings, gardeners can significantly save money. When growing, garden perennial plants themselves can give young seedlings, which can be used to decorate other areas in the garden. Some growers sell seedlings, making good money on this business.
• There is no need to wait for perfect weather conditions or the end of frost. Perennials are able to wake up on their own with the arrival of more comfortable environmental conditions.
• Differing from simple annuals, perennials have a longer flowering period. This is due to the fact that the rhizomes of the plants in question are in a hurry to prepare for the next flowering already in the fall.

Before rushing to planting perennial flowers in the garden, it is necessary to take into account not only their features, but also all the nuances of growing. We must not forget that each variety has its own characteristics and care requirements.

Selection of seeds for planting

Many perennial species grow from seeds. Unlike annual beauty, they can be planted all season. The absence of restrictions on the timing of planting is associated with a varied flowering period (from 2 to 6 years). When choosing seeds, you should take into account the characteristics of the region and the type of plant. Some species sprout directly in the ground, while others accept the first planting exclusively in a separate container.

Seedlings of delphinium, catchment, carnations are planted in March. Bell seeds are not dipped deep into the ground, leaving them in the light. Armeria must be pre-soaked in water for 10 hours. In May, June, you can sow perennials directly into the open ground. It should be remembered that the seeds of such plants quickly lose moisture and require daily watering. When choosing seeds, you should definitely know how to plant them.

You can use the following tips:

• Visual inspection. A hard shell indicates the need for germination in a warm place;
• Germination percentage. Each package of seeds has this information. This is very useful information for the gardener;
• Sorting before sowing. You can remove empty seeds by blowing on the spread out specimens. The empty ones will fly away from the air pressure;
• Hybrids or common varieties. If there is a need to harvest seeds, the first option is not suitable. Hybrid varieties, although they are distinguished by abundant flowering, are absolutely not suitable for seed production.

Varieties

Tall garden flowers are of different types and, accordingly, differ in flowering period. Most of them are summer blooming, decorating the garden with a riot of all kinds of colors. However, there are many tall flowers that bring a bright grace to the autumn landscape, in addition, they are quite frost-resistant. Among the tall varieties, there are a lot of unpretentious plants that do not require special care.

Blooming in summer

Consider the most popular tall crops that can decorate the site on summer days.

Aconite reaches 1.5 m in height. It blooms in blue, purple, white, yellow and pink tones.

Blooming in autumn

Varieties that bloom in autumn seem to extend the summer on the site, they have their own beauty and sometimes look even more interesting than summer ones.

Astra New England has a bush size of up to 2 m. Not too large flowers have a blue, lilac-purple, pink color.

Unpretentious tall flowers

Such plants are most appreciated by gardeners for the fact that they do not require special care rules, but grow almost independently.

Volzhanka belongs to herbaceous perennials with large paniculate inflorescences, consisting of many tiny flowers of white or cream tone.

Tall flowers do not need special care, and most of them are generally unpretentious in maintenance. You just need to remember that many of them should be tied up, insofar as the stems cannot always support the weight of rather large buds. The best option in this case is nylon ties.

Features of autumn planting - pros, cons

Flowers planted in the autumn go through the most natural cycle of development, as there is a stratification of the planting material. Seeds that survived the winter, flower bulbs perfectly tolerate short spring frosts, begin flowering a little earlier than others, cope better with invasions of pests, all kinds of diseases.

When planting in late autumn, you do not have to spend a month or two on growing seedlings, and an excellent result - a lush flower bed, will appear much earlier than in spring. Perennials planted on the eve of winter, during the period of cold weather, are sufficiently tempered, they release shoots, leaves, flowers faster in spring. Many flowering plants bloom most profusely during the autumn planting, as they manage to take root in the fall.

Another important argument in favor of planting in the fall is that a florist can devote more time to choosing plants, think over what and where to plant. In addition, the autumn soil warmed up by the sun is much easier to dig up, and frequent autumn rains make it possible to do practically without "manual" watering.

There are also some disadvantages of winter landings. During winter, early spring thaws, seeds, plant bulbs are able to wake up and die with the repeated onset of cold weather. With a not too deep planting and severe frosts, some of the plantings die, but in the spring it is easy to notice and duplicate it in the right places in a timely manner.

How to register?

Rockery can serve as one of the design options for a flower garden. It is a small plot of about 5-6 sq. m, where ornamental plants are planted among the stones. This is an interesting design option for suburban and suburban areas, gardens and parks.

Vesnarius is a small, cheerful garden with spring bulbous, corms and rhizome plants. Snowdrops are the earliest of all to grow on the islands open to the sun, followed by crocuses, scillas, corydalis and chionodox. Then come muscari, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips. Even later, subulate phlox, aubrieta, liverwort, viola, forget-me-not and daisy bloom.

Alpine slide - a site set aside for mountain plants. On such a site, paths are arranged, terraces and stairs are made. The elements of equipment can be stones, reservoirs with waterfalls, streams.

Preparing for winter

The onset of winter in color

If perennial crops are planted for flower decoration of the territory, then they must be prepared for winter.

First of all, plants that are not dug up for the winter are cut off. This is done so that with the onset of spring, young shoots do not interfere with growth. When pruning dried stems, a small part of them with leaves is left. These processes will accumulate nutrients that the plant will need for development for the next year. After the pruning procedure, the ground around the plant needs loosening and feeding (humus, compost).

Also, preparation for the winter period consists of the following actions:

1. Planting of bulbous species (daffodils, tulips, crocuses). It is better to do this at the end of the summer period - the beginning of the fall. If the action took place at a later date, the planting is covered with foliage, straw or dry twigs
2. Perennial plants (irises, phloxes, primroses) are divided before the cold weather sets in.
3. Seeds are collected from annual species (asters, marigolds). They will be used next year
4. When the temperature drops from 0 ... + 5C, clematis take cover. The easiest way to do this is to wrap their own shoots.
5. The green part is cut off from the peonies, the earth around is loosened, sprinkled with ash
6. Before the onset of frost, roses are piled up (with peat, sand). They take refuge after the onset of frost
7. In the late autumn period, summer plants are sown. Their seeds should have time to swell, but germination should not occur. They will sprout with the arrival of spring after the snow melts.
