Hyacinths: planting in the open field and caring for perennials
Planting hyacinths and caring for them primarily comes down to the use of fertilizers. To obtain large and full flowers, dry-type fertilizing is used, which is introduced into the soil immediately after the first shoots appear, and the first loosening of the earth is done.

The second fertilization is done during the period when the buds were formed. This time, the fertilizer is applied to the root in liquid form. For the third time, feeding is carried out after the hyacinths have bloomed. This type of plant is characterized by special watering requirements. Do not allow the soil to dry out before the bulbs take root. The ground must remain moist. During the remaining period, when the shoots are already visible, watering should be carried out on a regular basis, especially in dry weather.
The first time after planting, hyacinths must be watered abundantly.

Tradescantia, daylilies and tender anemones will continue to bloom.
Plants for a shady garden
To create coziness in a shady garden, you can use decorative elements made of stones and driftwood. The paths are made of natural stone, winding in shape. Plants with white flowers will look like a "ray of light in the dark kingdom" in the muted greenery of a shady garden; they will also allow the garden to shine at the first twilight.
It is better to plant plants in groups to simplify caring for them.
Shade-loving shrubs
And yet it must be remembered that darkness and cold are the main enemies of plants. And to help them survive, you need a little attention and care:
- plants should not suffer from drought. With the onset of hot days, even in shaded areas, regular watering is necessary, because the plants are accustomed to moisture in their natural environment. However, over-watering can lead to stagnant water and rhizome decay. To avoid this, when planting a plant in a planting pit, it is necessary to pour broken brick or pebbles
- timely feeding. Planting both in the sun and in the shade need regular fertilizing, because the presence of nutrients in the soil in the right amount depends on the splendor of the green mass, abundant flowering and productivity, as well as successful wintering
The reader, after reading the article, probably already had ideas of what to plant on the shady side of the house, and what to plant under the grape bushes, all doubts and fears about the development of plants in the shade have disappeared and can no longer wait to get to work. Of course, these plants will not surprise you with a rich harvest, but will delight you with lush greenery and beauty.
