Plants for sunny garden areas. Spring protection of garden plants from pests and diseases

Long-term observations of agricultural technicians and gardeners make it possible to choose the right flowers and plants for sunny places in the garden. Plants need light, air, water and nutrients from the soil. The lack of these necessary conditions slows growth and causes various diseases. An important stimulus that has a special effect on plant growth is sunlight. It provides radiant energy for photosynthesis, which affects the process of plant development.

Long-term observations of agricultural technicians and gardeners make it possible to choose the right flowers and plants for sunny places in the garden.

If you experiment and grow a plant in the dark, it will be pale yellow and will not turn green, because it does not accumulate chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light from the solar spectrum and reflects green. If the plant is not in the light and does not start photosynthesis, then it will die. The main condition for the successful germination of seeds of some plants is a sufficiently bright light (for example, in petunias). Most garden plants prefer to be in open areas of the garden, others bloom regardless of the sun, and there are those that love the shade.

The garden cannot be without roses and lilies beloved by all. Sung by poets and composers, they are the main decoration of the gardens. The lily is the only flower mentioned by Jesus Christ in the New Testament: "Look at the lilies, how they grow ... and Solomon in all his glory did not dress like any of them ...".

The garden cannot be without roses beloved by all.

It's good to make your collection of several interesting varieties roses and lilies. You can put special pegs with tags next to the seedlings, fix information about the variety, planting date on the tags; it is advisable to start a garden journal to write down all the necessary information about your favorite exhibits of the garden collection.

There are so many varieties of roses and lilies that they are classified into sections and groups according to certain garden features. The classification of roses, approved by the World Federation of Rose Societies in 1976, divides these flowers into 3 groups: natural species (rose hips), old garden roses (bourbon, damask, Chinese, French, Scottish, tea, climbing) and modern garden (hybrids obtained by crossing roses various kinds, differ large sizes bushes, abundant flowering, better winter hardiness). Roses bloom continuously from early summer to mid-autumn, unlike lilies, which rarely bloom for more than 3 weeks. For planting lilies, it is better to select varieties of different flowering periods.

Currently, thanks to the work of breeders, there are thousands of varieties of lilies. The third edition of the International Register of Known Lily Varieties (published in England in 1982) contains over 3,200 varieties. Garden lilies in this register are classified into 10 sections. The first section includes Asian hybrids. Tiger lily, drooping lily, pleasant lily are species representatives of this section, which have popular, unpretentious, easily and quickly propagating garden varieties. Lilies in their diversity are also distinguished by the ratio of the flower to the stem: with flowers directed up, down or to the sides.

light-loving peony

If the rose is the queen of all gardens, then the peony is called the king. The large peony flowers and the beauty of the plant's original leaves make it special. It is said that it is a flower with the scent of a thousand roses. Peonies are bred as herbaceous perennials and tree-like shrubs. Tree peonies are becoming very popular with gardeners. The flowers of these plants have stunning stamens, and the tree peony lives for 100 years. Growing conditions differ: tree peonies need to be planted in areas that are slightly shaded, unlike herbaceous peonies, which definitely need places well lit by the sun.

Unforgettable petunia

The beautiful petunia is what truly delights the soul with its lush blooms from April to November. And most importantly - it can withstand any scorching sun and is absolutely unpretentious. If the main flowers of the garden are planted in a certain central composition, then a simple multi-flowered petunia can be planted in the remaining places. It traditionally serves as a beautiful decoration of the garden. It is worth planting a petunia 1 time, and then it will propagate by self-sowing, and every spring it is enough to adjust its numerous shoots. Petunias are traditionally planted in pots, in hanging baskets, in all kinds of containers that can be moved around the garden.

Purslane and daisies

In order for the flowers in the garden to look harmonious, you should skillfully select a combination according to the height and shape of the plants. beautiful composition can be created on a raised flower bed of colorful purslane, framed by bushes of identical daisies. The name of these flowers comes from the Latin word "portula", meaning "collar". Its seed pod opens as if a small gate is opening up for new flowers to come, planted in tiny seeds. Purslane propagates by self-sowing and in some European countries grows unpretentiously as a field weed on wet sandy places, along the banks of rivers, in vegetable gardens and fields. And garden varieties of daisies are grown on any good soil. Old specimens of daisies, so that they do not degenerate, are dug up after flowering and divided into several parts for planting.

Daisies and chrysanthemums

Like daisies, daisies and chrysanthemums from the aster family. In the kingdom of flowers, these plants have the title of princesses. One of the wonderful varieties of chamomile is called "Silver Princess", the same name is one of the varieties of white chrysanthemum. Daisies, despite the simplicity of their flowers, symbolize a happy sunny day. It is pleasant to watch in the garden how daisies open their petals in the morning in the sun, and in the evening they gather them back into a bud. A bush of garden giant chamomile (scientific name - daisy) grows to a height of 1 m. A fully opened flower from a bud of daisy can reach a diameter of 10-15 cm. Chamomile pleases with long flowering from early June to late September. The plant is very fond of the sun's rays and tolerates drought well.

Decorative shrubs for summer cottages, photos and names of which will be presented in this article, are often exactly those elements that harmonize the overall picture and emphasize the necessary nuances of the site so that it looks attractive, bright and harmonious. They are like strokes on a canvas, which will help to correctly “dilute” the flowerbeds with the necessary details, to place accents on some specific places. I am sure that every summer resident, gardener, owner personal plot I want to do everything correctly and accurately so that vegetables, fruit trees, beds with greenery - everything is in its place.

Depending on the size of your site, imagination and general preferences, ornamental shrubs can be a backdrop for other plantings, an element of garden compositions, appear as hedges or act as the main nuance to which everyone's attention will be riveted.

In this article I would like to talk about the most popular shrubs, most often planted in our region, and, of course, the most beautiful. It is unrealistic to cover the entire spectrum of these representatives of this plant kingdom, but it is worth paying our attention to the main flowering ones, as well as to the decorative and deciduous ones.

How beautiful to plant ornamental shrubs: the main placement criteria

The very first thing is to choose just such a plant that will feel comfortable in climatic conditions your region. It is necessary to choose a certain variety based on this factor. The second nuance is its location.

If you get a sun-loving representative, then you need to plant it in a sunny place, where there will be a lot of light and there will not even be a hint of shade. But shade-loving ones, on the contrary, should be placed in shaded areas, or even in the shade of buildings or large trees. This is important, as the wrong choice of location can affect not only the brightness of the colors of the foliage or the lushness of the flowers on the shrub, but also its viability.

The overall picture of the garden should also be considered when choosing a particular plant. In a small area, tall and lush specimens will look out of place. But, for example, blooming frost-resistant, low beautiful bushes fit perfectly, and even will delight you with their appearance until the very cold.

These representatives include dwarf varieties of juniper Cossack Tamariscifolia and Green Carpet - undersized, creeping along the ground, very frost-resistant. This ideal options for creating compact alpine slides, rockeries, lawn edgings, curbs.

Shrubs for hedges should also be chosen among undersized or medium-sized representatives with a dense crown, so that later instead of an attractive fence you do not get columns of tall thickets. Spiked bushes, decorative flowering, columnar representatives, for example, junipers, are best suited for such a design. For joint plantings, weigela, buddleia, spirela, oleander are well suited, they will look harmoniously with other green brothers growing nearby. And if you want to form an arch or, for example, decorate a gazebo, a fence, then in this case you should choose climbing species.

The choice is wide! For each site of any size and shape, you can find your own option. In addition to flowering plants, there are a lot of varieties of shrubs with amazing foliage color, with an unusual crown, leaf shape. Diversity is an important aspect in this business. In most cases, the country landscape is divided into three zones (or tiers): lower - vegetable beds and flower beds, the top - fruit trees. But the bushes can occupy the so-called middle zone. The correct selection and combination of plants among themselves is the main goal for a summer resident who strives for beauty, comfort and harmony in his area.

Deciduous or flowering shrubs are not only a pleasure for contemplation, but also functional plants. Thus, by planting them near the fence, you can create a barrier from prying eyes or unwanted penetration (spiky varieties).

With their help, it is very convenient to zone a site, for example, to separate recreation areas and an area for growing garden crops.

Borders, paths, hedges, which have already been mentioned, creating protection (shadows) for more gentle shade-loving plants, decoration of some unsightly fragments on the site - all this can be arranged, decorated or hidden with the help of a variety of bushes and bushes. And if you decide to plant fruit representatives, you will be additionally rewarded for your work with useful berries.

Flowering shrubs for a summer residence

Some of these representatives are also fruit, this nuance will be indicated in the description.

It can be used in group plantings to hide unattractive landscape details, it grows equally well in sunny areas and in partial shade. Fieldfare is not particularly demanding on the ground, but moist, loose and nutritious soil is more preferable for it. Drought is undesirable for him.

Barberry

Barberries are a separate topic, the first among them, according to their external data, stands out Barberry Thunberg with purple leaves. Even in winter, its red, thorny twigs attract attention. With the advent of spring, it blooms with reddish leaves, against which yellow flowers look very elegant. Gradually, closer to summer, the barberry foliage becomes intensely red, and in autumn all shades of burgundy, scarlet and carmine color the entire plant.

Prefers sunny and semi-shaded places, unpretentious, but does not respond well to excessive soil moisture. The scope of application is extensive - from hedges to single plantings or planting in a flower bed surrounded by other flower representatives. Its dwarf variety is Atropurpurea Nana.

Deren

Doren - very attractive shrub, and at any time of the year and even completely without foliage! There are many varieties of dogwood, for example, Elegantissima with white-green leaves, Siberica Variegata has reddish-green foliage with pink edging along the edges, Kesselring boasts chameleon leaves of a brownish-pink hue with the addition of yellow and green colors.

When winter comes and the dogwood sheds its foliage, its upward shoots are bright red, clearly stand out against the white snow. It is unpretentious, shade-tolerant, frost-resistant, takes root on any soil. The maximum height of this representative is 3 meters, but red turf can grow even higher. He, of course, takes up a lot of space, but the color of his foliage is simply amazing. If you are the owner of a large plot, it may make sense to pay attention to red turf.

Euonymus

Fortune's euonymus is a rather undersized (up to 60 cm) shrub, originally from China. It has many varieties, but all of them are distinguished by a variegated, eye-catching color of foliage. It can be formed as a bush, or it can be arranged in the form of a liana, setting the direction with a rope, and there, with your own aerial roots, he will cling to anything, even a wall.

Depending on the variety, the euonymus has a different color of the leaf border. For example, the leaves may be pale green with a white border, or bright green with a yellow border (variety 'Emerald Gold'). This hardy plant, non-capricious, loves moderately moist soil, looks great as a single element or the main accent of a flower bed, in a word - it is good in any form and looks appropriate in a company that is suitable in color.

vesicle

The vesicle is very interesting in that, depending on the variety, it has a completely different color of foliage. This is a non-capricious plant, however, on loose, moderately moist soil, it will feel more comfortable. Widely used in landscape design: some varieties can be cut and given any shape, other varieties are used to create borders or hedges. He is good and attractive both by himself and in the company of other garden representatives.

I advise you to pay attention to the following vesicles: Diabolo, which has dark red, almost black leaves and looks spectacular, but a little gothic. In spring, its foliage has a lighter shade - carmine - red, but then gradually darkens. Variety Darts Gold, on the contrary, has a cheerful color of leaves - yellow-fiery. And the Nugget variety changes the shade of the foliage depending on the time of the year, at first the leaves are yellow, and closer to autumn they turn green. Red-leaved vesicle is another popular species, with scarlet leaves in spring and maroon, beetroot - with the advent of cold weather.

Bubble in the country:

Talking about decorative deciduous shrubs, one cannot help but recall the Japanese spirea, which has not only beautiful flowers, but also multicolored, bright foliage.

Heather leaves do not lose their beauty even with the advent of winter, he is unpretentious, but loves sunlight.

Shrubs that you want to choose for a summer residence should always be divided according to height, requirements (whimsical / unpretentious), frost resistance, compatibility with other plants.

Spirea foliage in autumn, photo:

Weigela foliage, photo:

Hawthorn also comes to mind, which has so many different varieties that among them any gardener can find a shrub to his taste. Any figures can be formed from hawthorn bushes, its fruits are medicinal, used in folk and official medicine. In its “behavior”, it is somewhat similar to boxwood, looks great in the design of hedges, in group plantings, as well as in a single specimen.

Hedge of ornamental shrubs

A hedge is one of the most popular, interesting and favorite horticultural "structures", in which green spaces act as a "building" material. Depending on the desired result, the hedge can be arranged in the form of a low curb or, conversely, a high green wall. You can choose any shape or length of such a fence, this is a truly creative activity, almost always giving a great result. A green hedge can hide unsightly elements of a summer cottage (for example, old fence, fencing), highlight individual zones on the territory, or emphasize other accents of landscape design.

When choosing shrubs for this purpose, you need to consider the following parameters:

1. Varieties of shrubs - in fact, the choice of plants for creating hedges is very large. It is necessary to approach the choice not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a practical one. These can be homogeneous shrubs or a mixed version, when different varieties and species are used that are in harmony with each other.
2. The growth rate of plants - calculate all the nuances: how often do you visit the country house, can you cut and correct the bushes in time. Where does the shrub you choose grow (sunny or shaded) and how will it manifest itself in this area. This also includes the question of the shape of the future hedge, so that the growth rate of bushes is a very relevant issue.
3. Height of shrubs - before the final choice, carefully study the potential of the bush and compare its capabilities with your wishes. This item also includes the density (width) of plantings, you may have to plant them in two or even three rows.
4. Soil preparation for bushes - consider this factor, certain types ornamental shrubs require a special composition of the soil. If in doubt, then choose the most unpretentious varieties or consult with more experienced gardeners in this matter. In some cases, you will have to pre-prepare the soil for the desired variety of shrubs.

If you are a beginner, give preference to non-capricious and shade-tolerant specimens that will not require daily soil moisture. Although it is the last aspect that depends on how often you visit the country. Remember that the most successful mixed hedges are obtained by planting plants with the same (or similar) biological requirements for moisture, light, soil quality, as well as with a similar growth rate.

Thuja hedge, photo:

If we consider coniferous shrubs for a hedge, then dwarf forms of firs, thujas or junipers will suit you. Such a fence will always be green, at any time of the year.

Dwarf spruce Nidiformis is unpretentious, has a bright green color, does not exceed one meter in height. Small bushes are planted at a distance of 1 meter from each other, do not make any pruning until the next season, until the spruce grows. Further, the correction is made from the sides (by two thirds of the length of the branches) and from above (cutting the upper branches by about a third of their length).

In nature, thuja is presented not only in the form of a tree, but also a bush. It is the bushy and dwarf varieties of thuja that are used to create hedges. This plant is easy to give the desired shape and height, it emits a pleasant coniferous aroma, is always green and looks great. T ui Smaragd or Brabant are most often used by Russians to decorate green hedges. Tui seedlings are planted about 50 or 70 cm apart, and decoration and cutting are done only at 2 or 3 years of plant life. Smaragd is sheared less often, Brabant - more often, all thujas are frost-resistant, they perform well when planted in clay or sandy soil. Moderate soil moisture is the best option for them. Varieties Hozeri, Danica, Teddy, Little Dorrit are also suitable for creating hedges.

Juniper is one of the favorite, popular, easy-to-cut and care plants for decorating green hedges. He loves sunlight, is resistant to drought and cold, but he should be protected from excessive wet soil(avoid swamping). You should not plant it if clay soil prevails in your area. Bushes are planted at a distance of 60-80 cm from each other, a haircut is made about 2 times a year. Keep in mind that juniper grows quite quickly.

If you want to create a hedge from climbing plant, and very quickly, pay attention to the Highlander Aubert. This is one of the fastest growing liana shrubs, which reaches one and a half meters in length per season. This plant is unpretentious to the soil, often needs adjustment (pruning), blooms with dense white inflorescences and requires a pre-installed solid support.

Hop is a shrub and at the same time a climbing vine. Unpretentious, frost-resistant, loves moist soil, does not need frequent adjustment. The plant produces very pretty medium sized buds that add to the beauty of the dense bright green foliage. He also needs a reliable and strong support and garter.

Luxurious hedge comes from climbing roses. Depending on your preferences, you can choose any variety with the desired shade of buds.

Graham Thomas produces flowers yellow color, Adelaide d'Orleans - white buds with a yellowish center, Super Dorothy blooms with numerous lush pink buds, Alaska - a snow-white rose, delicate and at the same time solemn.

Such a hedge will definitely not leave anyone indifferent. Be prepared for maintenance and regular pruning if you choose roses, they will also need support. Shrub roses can also be used in this capacity.

Clematis is an ornamental shrub and at the same time a liana. This plant loves the sun, fertile drained and slightly alkaline soil. It turns into a dense fence in about 2 or 3 years, it looks very impressive thanks to the large flowers of the most diverse colors, as well as dense, rich green foliage. Requires strong support, like all creepers.

The blackthorn (or blackthorn) reaches a height of two meters, blooms with densely spaced white flowers, has multiple spines. When planting a turn to create a hedge, each bush will need to be fixed, tied to a peg. So you set the right direction for the bush, support it at first, until it gains strength. The first month after planting, seedlings should be watered regularly. Blackthorn grows very quickly, gives dark blue fruits - wild plums (tasty, slightly tart in taste).

Blackthorn, photo:

Sea buckthorn is a useful and very pretty shrub, decorative and fruit, I would say. Gardeners recommend planting shrubby sea buckthorn in two rows. Despite the fact that trimming haircut reduces the yield of sea buckthorn, the aesthetic side of the matter only benefits from this. This frost-resistant plant can be with or without thorns. Requires pre-installed reliable support- then everything will be beautiful and even.

Snowberry is an incredibly attractive shrub. It got its name due to the snow-white fruits, which are located on the branches in the form of clusters. Even when the plant sheds all foliage, these berries persist for a long time, sometimes even until spring. The shrub itself is excellent for the formation of hedges, grows up to one and a half / two meters in height. Often does not need special adjustment, as the branches themselves tend to the ground under the weight of the bunches. If you trim the plant regularly, then it most likely will not bear fruit. The shrub is unpretentious, frost-resistant, blooms in the middle of summer with inconspicuous small flowers-bells of a white-green or pinkish hue. Berries are poisonous to humans, but for birds they are quite edible.

For hedges, it is best to choose from thick-leaved, easy-to-form plants. Such a "fence" should be tight, without so-called gaps. Depending on your preferences, you can choose a flowering or evergreen, coniferous variant.

Fruit shrubs such as Schmidt's Currant, Felt Cherry or Gooseberry are not only good for creating green hedges, but they also reward you with edible fruits.

When choosing a shrub, consider its features, resistance to cold, soil requirements. It is possible that in order to maintain an attractive appearance, some representatives will need periodic feeding and fertilizing. No matter how unpretentious the variety you have chosen may seem, maintaining a decent green hedge will require you to spend time and effort. Any shrub will have to ennoble, cut, keep in shape. Poor soil should be fed with fertilizers at least once a year, and fertile soils - once every 4 years.

The aforementioned flowering shrubs such as spirea, jasmine, lilac, rosehip can also be used to create a hedge. They can be combined with each other, planted alternately. Different varieties of barberries planted one after another (variety by variety) will create an incredible effect. Cypress shrubs (dwarf varieties) are also ideal for the formation of green "fences".

Berry Yew, which does not exceed 60 cm in height, grows in rounded bushes - it is also great for this purpose.

It all depends on your imagination and the availability of free time. Always keep in mind that tall shrubs require more space between the placement of seedlings. Do not forget also about the climatic features of your region when choosing an ornamental shrub.

Ornamental shrubs are most often planted either in the fall, before the frost hits, or in early spring, when the buds on the trees are just beginning to awaken, and the snow has already melted. Moreover, the pits for spring planting should be prepared in the fall - apply appropriate fertilizers, calculate the depth and width of the recess for a certain type of shrub. Buy seedlings from safe places– special nurseries or flower shops. Before deepening into the ground, the plant can be kept for several hours in water, to which a growth stimulator was previously added.

In addition to the agrotechnical features of a single species, a simple formula should be remembered:

1. Low and dwarf representatives are buried in the soil at a distance of about 60-80 cm from each other.
2. Plants of medium size - about one and a half meters from one another.
3. Tall specimens that need space for development - at least 2 meters from each other.

The ornamental shrubs for summer cottages presented in this article, the photos and names of which will help you make your choice, are the most popular and adapted for our regions. Choose green residents to your taste and color, let your summer cottage become even more attractive and, to some extent, unique.

Not every plant is able to fully develop and grow without sufficient moisture. They can react to its lack in different ways: some slow down in growth, others lose leaf turgor, and others dry out completely. But what if in hot, dry weather there is no way to often water the flower garden? In this case, an excellent solution to the problem will be the selection of drought-resistant plants for decorating a flower garden, which, even with insufficient moisture, do not lose their attractiveness, delighting those around them with lush flowering and a wonderful aroma.

When designing flower beds from drought-resistant plants, you can adhere to standard planting patterns, in which the foreground is filled with undersized flowers, and tall handsome men are planted as a background in the background.

Decorative flower beds are able to act as a spectacular decoration of the site and serve as a source of aesthetic pleasure for their owners.

When creating a flower garden that will decorate the site for more than one year, a number of points must be taken into account:

• Place of arrangement. Drought-resistant flowers feel comfortable on depleted soils. But they do not tolerate swampy soils, where there is no sufficient outflow of moisture. On flooded soils, they simply rot and die. Reliable soil drainage is a prerequisite for the arrangement of flower beds. When laying out flower beds, the illumination factor of the site is also important, because some drought-resistant flowers love sunny areas, while others love shady places.
• Plant combination. When selecting compositions, it is important to take into account the conditions for growing a particular species. Plants with different moisture needs may not feel comfortable in close proximity. And with such a combination of plants, the grower may have difficulty with watering.
• Creating conditions for growth. For the arrangement of reliable drainage, a sufficient amount of gravel and sand must be introduced into the soil. Watering is desirable to carry out only in the morning, thereby reducing the loss of moisture in the daytime.

It is necessary to plant plants at a sufficient distance from each other, leaving room for the free growth of their aerial parts.

Since most drought-resistant plants naturally grow on depleted soils and nutrient-deficient soils, it is best to limit the amount of organic fertilizers when preparing a flower garden.
