How to beautifully arrange a flower bed of perennial flowers
Compositionally composed groups of plants are ready to delight with undying beauty from the first warmth to frost. The design of the site depends on your imagination and correctly selected varieties, according to the sequence of interval flowering. Making flower beds in the country with perennials considered the most practical solution. It is enough to plant seedlings once, in order to then admire the shoots at the beginning of the season, adding brightness to the summer ensemble with group mixes from annuals.
The decorativeness of assorted plants depends on a number of factors:
- The specific planting pattern due to peak activity. The beauty relay from withering plants (perennials quickly fade away), goes to species with opening buds.
- Colors. Different colors of inflorescences and shades of foliage affect the aesthetic perception of the design of the site as a whole.
- pink inflorescences on a green background create a romantic atmosphere - peonies, thyme, daisies, incense, roses;
- red ones stimulate activity, raise the tone - poppies, paniculate phlox, saxifrage, Chinese carnation;
- white - look solemn and elegant - Iberis, Ditsetra, Allissum;
- yellow and orange - give optimism and promote inspiration - cannes, soapwort, daisies, astilbe, primroses;
- the blue tone of the inflorescences is conducive to serenity - delphinium, irises, meadow geranium.
In a small flower bed, it is better to prefer long flowers with a quarterly activity period: lavater, multifilament or beauty - echinacea. The bright ensemble will diversify with bulbous: mukari or crocuses. Most of them delight with a colorful carpet for more than a month, like a classic plot of the harmony of white daffodils and bright tulips. For greater effect, they should be placed in islands.
Flowers for flower bed decoration
In a regular garden, any version of the bed is allowed. When decorating a flower bed with perennials, priority is given to oriental hyacinths, hosts, roses, lilies, heucheras with different leaf colors, bulbs. Most of them are planted in non-frozen ground, for example, in autumn (peonies, poppies) and spring (lavender, asters, anemone).
The landscape style does not adhere to precise geometry configurations and is relevant when decorating alpine slides, as well as creating mixborders and container plantings.
It is permissible to beautifully arrange a flower bed in the country with the help of vertical structures. Plants are placed on trellises and other supports (pergolas or arches). Such structures are designed to decorate unsightly walls, create shade curtains or serve as a hedge. Lemongrass, grapes, akinidia, clematis and wisteria are planted from perennial vines.
How to decorate a flower bed with perennials?
The scheme of a competent landing consists in their stepwise placement. Against the background of tall bushes, stunted species are located. Such a “cathedral” technique pays off for any review. The principle of placing a mix is especially relevant when creating a flower bed near a fence. Perception along the descending line of herbaceous bushes provides the scale of the picture.
In the same way, a flower garden with a center protruding in height is equipped, giving a conical shape to decorative plantings.
If flowers are planted for flower beds in groups with different heights, due to the combination of herbaceous shrubs and single plantings (tapeworms), in an adult state, the plantings form a canvas similar to a smooth wave. This version is in demand in rocky and heather gardens, also in asymmetric areas.
Forsythia and daphnia, blooming in parallel with the swelling buds, will provide a beautiful design of flower beds in the country. Crocuses are the first to delight, then the buds of wild strawberries, dissected rudbeks, Carpathian creepers, bells, corydalis open.
The baton is taken over by barberry and ground cover: intricate phlox, cleaning and colorful periwinkle. The multicolored kaleidoscopic luxury of summer colors is supported by irises, astilbe, delicate armeria.
By the middle of summer, lush hibiscus and action are rampant. In autumn, hydrangea surprises with lush balls.
Skillful organization of the landscape and competent picking of varieties on the rabatka will give joy from contemplation and pleasant sensations from unity with nature.
