Lilac is one of the most popular, favorite and unpretentious plants. Previously, it was most often planted along fences, but its beauty did not go unnoticed by landscape designers. We offer the most successful ways to place lilacs on the site, which will transform your garden.
Blooming hedge
The most famous option is along the perimeter of the site next to the hedge. It is better to choose varieties of about the same height, but different colors. Luxurious paints will not leave anyone indifferent. It will be even better if you alternate it with a chubushnik, in which case the period of continuous flowering will be longer - the lilac will bloom and its neighbor will start to delight you.
Adorable group
In an empty corner of the site or in front of an outbuilding, you can place a group of several lilac bushes. Plants of the same variety or a combination of different ones will do.
In the spotlight
A lonely lilac bush on a neat lawn will attract admiring glances. A good solution would be to locate it against the wall of the house. But in this case there is an important nuance - it is necessary to constantly maintain the ideal shape of the plant. You can form a tree - the so-called standard lilac. To do this, you will need a strong annual shrub. Cut it to a height of about 50 cm, leave part of the shoot with well-developed buds. There should be 6-12 kidneys. Remove all lower shoots. You will form the crown later, when the shoots grow a little.
Monochromatic garden
The monochromatic garden looks unusually impressive. The main principle in this design is that one plant is the leading one, all the others set it off and emphasize. In a monochrome garden, lilacs can play a major role. In addition to this, pick up plants with lilac-lilac flowers. Here are some of their options - verbena, viola, iris, hydrangea, sweet peas, sage, phlox. You can plant a very beautiful white garden, then in addition to lilacs, jasmine, lily of the valley, snowdrop, daffodil, chamomile, astrantia are suitable.
But the choice of neighbors for lilacs must be approached carefully. There are some plants that she can't get along with. First of all, these are fruit and berry crops - cherry, apple, plum, currant. In addition, you should not plant bulbs next to lilacs, which must be dug up annually for the winter. Thus, it is easy to damage the root system of lilacs, so let gladioli, lilies and dahlias delight you in another corner of the garden.
