Outlandishly bright color phloxes are the best suited for organizing flower beds. These lush flowering perennials are unpretentious in care. They look great and take root in the same area with other types of flowers, shrubs and herbs. So, you can create a flower bed with phlox of any kind: mixborder, carpet, irregular or regular flower garden, group, parterre, border, array and discount.

But their most important advantages are the flowering period and frost resistance.

Thanks to a huge number species of phlox (about 60) for a home flower garden, you can choose groups of plants that have different flowering periods. So the flower beds with phlox planted on the site will delight others with bright and outlandish colors (aromas) from the first truly warm spring days until autumn.

What can be a flower bed with phloxes (photo of planting options and flowering calendar)

Among all varieties of phlox there are:

• Creeping (ground cover) plants.
  This variety of flowers begins to turn green and bloom very first - somewhere in the middle - towards the end of May (depending on the weather). In most cases, designers use it to create backgrounds. landscape composition, in which both shrubs and other primroses can participate, and fruit trees. From the creeping varieties of the plant, bright purple, juicy red, pink and white carpet flower beds, stream borders, arrays and ridges are obtained. Depicted in the photo with phlox, the scheme of which has an irregular character, is organized from the subulate type of flowers. It is ideal for alpine slides and single flower beds, decorating retaining walls.
  
  
• Loose-soddy (spread out) plants.
  A transitional type of phlox, which no longer spreads along the ground, since it has a small (below average) stem length. It blooms after the ground cover varieties of plants and is considered the most unpretentious representative of the family. And also exotic, because its inflorescences are a lush bunch of small flowers of light lilac, purple, lilac or white. Another advantage of the variety is the violet aroma of flowers and the longest flowering period. It will help to evaluate how a flower bed of phlox will look like, the photo below.
  
  
• Bushy undersized plants.
  This variety of phlox blooms almost all of June and is fragrant with a sweet aroma. The height of the flower stem does not exceed 100 cm, and the inflorescence consists of many small white, white-violet, rich red or dark pink flowers. These plants have one fundamental difference from their previous relatives. They love acidic soil. In it, they take root well and bloom violently. To organize a flower bed with phlox, a scheme is not needed. This variety of plants looks great in a collage flower garden.
  
• Bush tall plants.
  The most popular, extensive and well-known variety of phlox. Some representatives of the species bloom somewhere in the middle or end of June, others in early July, and others in August. Their flowering lasts about a month. Tall plants have representatives with medium-sized and large, with spotted and outlandish flowers in the inflorescence. And also with an unusual inflorescence shape. These can be phlox flower beds - the photo was taken in the midst of flowering.
  
  

Lush flower bed with peonies and phlox: suitable plants for combination

Before listing which of the plants phlox make up the perfect combination, it is necessary to recall a few rules for compiling flower beds with phlox:

• Brightly flowering representatives with a non-lush inflorescence are best diluted with non-flowering or inconspicuously flowering herbs. Such a combination will make it possible to present the beauty of the flower in a favorable light, and even a phlox flower bed with such an organization has a more aesthetically attractive appearance.
• Low and creeping varieties should be in the foreground when organizing a flower garden. The higher the plant, the closer to the center or edge (group, border) it should be located.
• Lush inflorescences of tall flowers are ideally combined with peonies. A photo of a flower bed with peonies and phlox will help to verify this - plants were combined with flowers of pink and purple tones.

In addition to peonies, phloxes can be supplemented with: dwarf irises, hybrid primroses, muscari, dwarf coniferous shrubs, edelweiss, poppy, dwarf wormwood, geranium and many others. When choosing flowers for a flower bed with phlox, one should not forget about the flowering period of all plants. For each individual variety, it must be different from the others. Using this scheme for planting flowers, it will be possible to create a flower garden that will delight the eyes throughout the entire summer period. Read.

Daylily - perennial, practically perfect option for landscaping suburban area or backyard territory due to the combination of decorativeness, attractiveness with unpretentiousness in care. A long flowering period, a large range of colors, beautiful leaves, shade tolerance and ease of cultivation - all this makes it one of the most sought after garden plants.

Versatile landscaping plant

Daylily use in landscape design practically unlimited - they are equally organic in gardens of any style: from oriental to country, from modern to landscape, from regular to nostalgic. These are universal plants, the role of daylily in the garden can be very diverse - they look great both as single plants (tapeworms) and in mixed flower beds ( mixborders). These are universal plants for landscaping the site:

• undersized daylilies in landscape design are actively used for decoration alpine slides and rockeries
• a common and effective purpose of a daylily is the creation of ribbon frames and borders (hedges). To do this, select varieties that have a dense structure and do not give root taps. At the same time, it is recommended to combine different varieties (for example, by flowering time), the main thing is that they have approximately the same height of greenery, but the structure and size of flowers, the height of peduncles may differ

• The choice of place for a daylily in a composition depends on several factors. Dwarf varieties are planted in the foreground, medium-sized in the middle, and tall in the background. Saturated in color and dark varieties are planted no further than the optical middle of the flower garden (group) - in the background they will reduce space, make the composition flat. Light varieties are better for the background.
• undersized daylilies are actively used to decorate alpine slides and rockeries

• the best companions of daylilies in flower arrangements will be dahlias, loosestrife, reed grass, rod millet, knifofiya, catnip, Veronica longifolia, crocosmia

Daylilies in landscape design: 4 conditions proper cultivation

Daylilies are beautiful perennials that are often used for landscaping home gardens and have a variety of color scheme. What can they be and how to create interesting compositions? I'll tell you about it!

Why daylily?

These plants are endowed with certain advantages:

1. Long flowering period.
2. Decorative look of leaves.
3. Unpretentiousness in care: watering and fertilizers.
4. Ease of reproduction.
5. Easy to combine with other flowers, shrubs and plants in the garden.

Making a garden plot with daylilies requires adherence to some basics. For example, you need to consider:

• Matching colors and shades.
• The height of the main stem.
• The daylily should be the basis of the composition, otherwise it is better to use the plant in a single copy in a separate flower bed.
• If you are planting daylilies near a house, gazebo or fence, be sure to leave enough space for the shrub to form.
• Period and seasonality of flowering.

Daylily is a tall plant, so often it is the basis of compositions

Condition 1. Variety selection

Thinking about arranging flower beds in the country, you first need to get acquainted with the numerous varieties and varieties of daylilies. I would highlight these:

A photo	Description
	Middendorf This is a fairly compact and low plant that actively pecks out of the ground in early spring. The height of the bush rarely exceeds 65 cm. The first flowering occurs at the end of spring. The daylily is distinguished by the unusual appearance of the leaves, they seem to be deflected to the sides. The flowers are brightly colored in shades of yellow, orange and gold. There is a gentle and unobtrusive smell.
	brown yellow Perhaps the most common type among other varieties. Great for use in the foreground of any flower beds. Grows well in shady areas. The flowering period begins in mid-July. Brown-yellow daylily is famous for its terry varieties.
	Yellow The plant is quite tall, can reach a height of up to 1 meter. Inflorescences emit an incredibly fragrant smell that attracts a large number of bees. The flowering period falls at the beginning of July and lasts until the beginning of September. The peculiarity of this variety is that it easily and without consequences transfers moist soils. Yellow daylilies are great for planting near lakes, rivers, and artificial ponds.
	lemon yellow Flowering occurs in mid-July. The variety is drought tolerant. The flower stalks emit a pleasant and attractive aroma, and they rise quite high above the main leaves. The average height of the peduncle reaches 130 cm.
	Katerina Woodbury Its peculiarity is the beautiful pale lilac color of the petals and the bright green neck. Flowering begins in the second half of summer. Flowers reach a size of 12 to 16 cm in diameter.
	Night Bacon The variety is notable for the rich burgundy shade of the petals and the bright yellow core. Flower - 8 cm in diameter. And even being under the scorching rays of the sun - the plant does not fade and does not change color.
	Pandoras Boxing This variety is characterized by compact size, contrasting combinations of petals and core and stable flowering. An adult plant reaches a length of no more than 50 cm, blooms for a long time and profusely. Flowers diameter - 10 cm.

In general, gardeners-breeders have bred many different hybrid daylilies, they differ in flower shape:

• Ordinary- close to natural species;
• Terry- are distinguished by a double or triple row of petals;
• Unusual or non-standard forms;
• arachnids- elongated or elongated petals. Make the flower look like an insect;
• Multiforms- according to certain characteristics, they can be attributed to several groups at once.

Condition 2. Combination rules

If you decide to plant a daylily on your suburban area, it is important to consider the rules:

• Undersized varieties- Should only be used for alpine flower beds. They also look good near benches and gazebos, by the pool and an artificial pond.
• Fragrant varieties- for example, lemon, can be planted next to the gazebo. Especially their aroma is heard with the approach of evening and night. Many gardeners note that their fragrant aroma is in no way inferior to garden roses, and caring for daylilies is much easier.
• Identical varieties- it is worth planting flower beds and alpine slides in the background, as well as near walls and fences. Similarity is allowed with respect to color and shades, as well as the forms of inflorescences. You can create flower beds with the placement of plants in the form of tiers. From the highest, respectively, to the lowest kind.

Plants are unpretentious and beautiful, well tolerate drought and excessive moisture. A riot of colors allows you to choose bold bright combinations, as well as create calm and gentle beds.

Condition 3. Purchase of seedlings

What features does the plant have and what to consider when buying it:

A photo	Description
	Rule 1 These cultures reproduce exclusively by the root system. In the market, one can confuse the daylily and the lily in appearance, but the second reproduces by bulbs.
	Rule 2 Purchase this garden culture better in the cold season. The daylily keeps well, and if you are sold a diseased or dead flower, you will notice it with the naked eye.
	Rule 3 Saplings are stored at a temperature of +3 ... +5 °C.
	Rule 4 If the acquired plant has buds, it is necessary to plant it in a low pot.
	Rule 5 The cut seedling should have a height of at least and not more than 15 cm from the roots.

Planted daylilies in a pot in winter, better tolerate planting in open ground. The plant does not get sick and does not undergo a long acclimatization. best time August or early spring is considered to be planting.

Condition 4. Landing

Daylily grows well in sunny areas. But long-term direct Sun rays have a detrimental effect on his appearance and general well-being. The leaves become shriveled and the plant will not bloom.

When choosing a landing site, pay attention to the absence of stagnant water in the spring. ground water can kill your plants in a matter of days.

Determine the allowable area size. Daylily is a perennial plant that you are unlikely to repot for the next 5-10 years. The optimal distance between the bushes is 70–100 cm.

In order for the bushes to please flowering for a long time, it is important to plant them correctly in the ground:

• A hole is dug. Inside it, a small hill is created from fertile soil.
• A bush is planted on the hill. The roots must be carefully straightened on the sides.
• Root system - covered with nutrient soil. It is extremely important to take care not to damage or deepen the root collar. Deepening - no more than 3 cm.
• Watering. It is carried out in order to compact the soil around the plant. If planting a plant in the fall, watering should be limited.
• Top dressing. After a couple of weeks, the plant should be fed. Use mineral, nutritious and balanced fertilizers.
• Winter period. Leaves are cut almost to the base. The soil is covered with spruce branches until spring.

In the first line, plant undersized and dwarf varieties.

Maroon, orange and yellow daylilies look great with agapanthus.

This combination will give any flower arrangement freshness and brightness.

Undersized garden plants good to use in conjunction with dwarf daylily varieties.

This group is also complemented by: hosta, crocus, tulips and daffodils.

Daylilies are perfectly combined with bright barberry bushes.

You can complement the composition with elegant hostas of silver or pale green.

Conclusion

Daylily - beautiful, unpretentious and original garden flower. It can be used in a variety of flower combinations: in flower beds, near fences, next to ponds.

The video in this article will clearly demonstrate how beneficial the daylily looks on garden plot. If you have any questions, I'm waiting for them in the comments.

All phloxes can be divided into two large groups- landscape and collection. In collectibles, either the flower burns out, or the bush falls apart, or the “legs” are bald. I am not calling for abandoning collection varieties, if you like a particular variety, please plant, tie a bush, shade it. But in reliable flower beds, I recommend using landscape varieties.

In the group of landscape phloxes there are both large-flowered and small-flowered varieties. But it is no coincidence that I spent ten years of my life to expand the group of small-flowered varieties. They bloom longer - two, and some two and a half months. Very resistant to wind, rain and even hail.

I exhibited "Purple Veil" at the "FlowersExpo" exhibition in 2012 after hail after hail, and she became the winner of the exhibition. Hailstones slip between the flowers, the rain does not spoil the flowers at all.

"Mosaic"

"Smoky Veil"

The "Usadba" program came to my selection field. It was raining (and by that time it had been raining for a long time), and it was clearly visible how large-flowered phlox, which we love so much, and small-flowered, look in terms of decorativeness. Small-flowered ones both stood and stand, while large-flowered ones have sagging flowers.

"Elixir" is my variety, I don't like it - its flower is more than five and a half centimeters. It will rain, everything will hang. And such a variety as "Mosaic" can be used in any flower beds, it blooms for a long time, elegant, looks very good.

After prolonged rains with winds, large-flowered phloxes need some period for the inflorescence to recover, new flowers to bloom, because when big flower leaves the inflorescence, a hole remains there. But the small-flowered ones are different. If you look inside the inflorescence, then many have a lot of buds, and such phloxes resist bad weather conditions very well.

If you like big flowers

Large-flowered phloxes are of course very beautiful and can be used in the landscape if they have good shape inflorescences, resistant bush, elegant foliage.

"Eskimo"

Large-flowered landscape phloxes do not fall, they can be planted at the porch, along the path, included in the flower garden with such classic plants as aconites, varietal rudbeckia, monards, veronicastrums, burnet.

Large-flowered phloxes will be great near the gazebo with some openwork calimeris, Delaway's cornflower, and use daylilies, bergenia, catnip, sage in planting to cover the front of the bush if the plant is tall.

For example, "Margarita", which becomes the favorite of all exhibitions, it does not fade, it blooms for a very long time. Or the new selection of Ani Kalugina - "Galatea" - a soft salmon warm tone with a beautiful inflorescence.

"Galatea"

Now flower gardens with a natural orientation, natural gardens, ecological gardens and flower beds are very popular. They cannot use phloxes with eyes, or those in which a person's hand is visible. But natural-looking phloxes are perfect for such flower beds. For example, "Sea foam" or varieties of the "Veil" or "Caramel" series.

"Bird Sirin" is a wonderful variety for natural flower beds, it is so lush, luxurious, it grows quickly, tenacious. It will be great with something yellow, with cereals, with solidago.

"Veil"

"Strawberry Caramel"

"Sea foam"

"Bird Sirin"

With phloxes of a natural appearance, the yellow suns of heliopsis, high scobiosis Gagant (butter-colored inflorescence), astrantia, cereals, monards, burnet, molinii, iringiums, echinops will look great.

One of the classic plants in plantings with phlox is rudbeckia (from the highest - nitida, to the lowest - fulgida) or echinacea. There are many varieties, you can always combine them in color, choosing shades of flowers with transitions from taller plants to lower ones. Piet Oudolf uses rudbeckia in natural flower beds, the plants in which are not cut for the winter.

You can make white flower beds of a natural plan using small-flowered phloxes. They will look very good in combination with white calimeris, with alpine mountaineer, with various daisies.

In country flower beds, phlox can be used with garden plants, with mallows. Malv, by the way, there are a lot of different varieties, and you can choose them very well by color. And change - this year so, and next year in a different way. Solidago (goldenrod) will fit very well into the country style, here we will add tansy as a background plant.

For classic cottage flower beds - "Waltz". Elegant, goes well with Veronica longifolia, with unsung blue in the foreground.

Phloxes, in which a human hand is visible ("Dear friend", "Alexey Lensky"), are combined with classic hybridized plants, these are daisies, annuals, vines, in the background - aconites, clematis on a support, that is, clearly hybridized plants.

"Waltz"

"Alexey Lensky"

Phloxes in the foreground (even low ones) still need to be planted with something. In the casing, low catnip hosts, sages, hyssops, varietal veronicas, varietal oregano are very good. There are badans different heights, now they are available, and you can use any. The classic of the genre is the daylily, which is used for casing.

Working with color

I don’t really like dark cherry phloxes, they look good in flower beds only during the day. But if you conceived a “purple and gold” flower garden, then plant brilliant rudbeckia, solidago, higher rudbeckia, sapling, verticals from loosestrife and plant purple phloxes there as accents.

All dark phloxes dissolve at dusk, they are not visible. For example, if we combine "Monomakh's Hat" with pure white phloxes, then in contrast at dusk this dark variety will be even darker, and in the evening only white will be visible, and instead of "Monomakh's Hat" there will be a visual failure.

"Hat of Monomakh"

"Onega"

"Martin"

"Archangel"

All white, light, pale lilac phloxes are clearly visible at dusk. Groups of light phlox should organize the night space. By the light of the moon, they will make your garden voluminous.

Variety Oksana Kudryavtseva from St. Petersburg "Archangel" from pure white, I think is ideal, it is not very tall, with strong stems, does not fall apart, well built, beautiful inflorescence.

The variety "Onega" has neat caps, it cleans well, the color is not pure white, slightly pinkish, it will look good next to the "Swallow". It is good to plant Veronica spikelet or pink loosestrife, blue cereal like sheep and something lilac openwork, cornflower, for example.

Those phloxes look good, which by the evening change their tone to blue with pink varieties, transitions from pale pink salmon to more saturated tones are very good. Phloxes, which change color to blue and blue by the evening, look good on a golden background, for example, Darts gold or Lutea vesicle, white derain is golden.

It is much more difficult to work with smoky varieties. Often their color looks dirty from a distance. "Prince Silver", "Old Man", "Crown" small-flowered "Mr. X" can be used with silver wormwood, with cherry-red burnet, cherry monards, use verticals of loosestrife or veronica spikelet.

"Old Man"

"Crown"

"Prince Silver"

I don’t use varieties with shading ("Peppermint Twist") in flower beds, I call it "McDonald's", like petunias with stripes, this is all amateur, it does not look in a flower garden. The color is not readable at a distance - the stripes are blurred, blurred, everything becomes a dirty shade.

The inflorescence form has its own functions

Varieties with a distinct inflorescence shape ("Hermitage Garden", "Pink Popsicle") are clearly visible. They are used in accent planting, planted in a flower garden as accents. And it is not necessary to plant them in bulk.

"Vasilievsky Island"

"Columbine Dwarf"

"Kseniya"

"Glowworm"

For a mass or a border, "Xenia" or "Vasilyevsky Island", "Blue Dwarf", "Firefly" are suitable. "Vasilyevsky Island" is a small, round ball for a border or background planting in the foreground.

You can use different phloxes, but small-flowered and large-flowered ones will look bad next to each other. It is necessary to allocate some different corners in the garden, where to make compositions separately with large-flowered ones and separately with small-flowered ones.

When you evaluate phloxes

Sometimes it happens like this: they brought a phlox to the exhibition - a huge hat on a thick stem. This means that the phlox was fed. In vain do you think that in your garden it will be the same. We always have no time, we come to the garden once a week, there is only enough compost for tomatoes. And your phlox will turn into something unintelligible. Don't judge phlox by stem thickness! You can feed anything, but why?

You can lie down with bones, make an ideal ground, phloxes will be luxurious for some time, but overfed plants lose their resistance, become more susceptible to fungal diseases. I believe that the agricultural background should be average.

It is important when the variety has a moderate growth rate. It's moderate! Many imported varieties are good only in the second year after division. And then we get a huge bush, thin shoots and three flowers at the top. All the forces were spent on growth, there was nothing left for flowering. I think phloxes should grow five or six years in one place, and dividing them every two years is not the case.

Our grandmothers, growing strawberries, or strawberries, as we used to call them, were not particularly worried about mulching. But today this agricultural practice has become fundamental in achieving high quality berries and reducing crop losses. Some might say it's troublesome.

Mint was used by the Egyptians as far back as 1.5 thousand years BC. It has a strong aroma due to the high content of various essential oils with high volatility. Today, mint is used in medicine, perfumery, cosmetology, winemaking, cooking, ornamental gardening, and the confectionery industry. In this article, we will look at the most interesting varieties mint, and also talk about the features of growing this plant in the open field.

People began to grow crocuses 500 years before the advent of our era. Although the presence of these flowers in the garden is fleeting, we always look forward to the return of the heralds of spring next year. Crocuses - one of the earliest primroses, whose flowering begins as soon as the snow melts. However, the timing of flowering may vary depending on the species and varieties.

Blueberries - a rare promising berry culture in the gardens. Blueberries are a source of biologically active substances and vitamins, have antiscorbutic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, tonic properties. Berries contain vitamins C, E, A, flavonoids, anthocyanins, trace elements - zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, as well as plant hormones - phytoestrogens. The taste of blueberries resembles a mixture of grapes and blueberries.

Looking at the variety of varieties of tomatoes, it is difficult not to get confused - the choice is very wide today. Even experienced gardeners he is annoying sometimes! However, it is not so difficult to understand the basics of selecting varieties “for yourself”. The main thing is to understand the peculiarities of culture and start experimenting. One of the easiest tomato groups to grow are varieties and hybrids with limited growth. They have always been appreciated by those gardeners who do not have much time and energy to care for the beds.

Once very popular under the name of room nettle, and then forgotten by everyone, coleuses today are one of the brightest garden and indoor plants. They are not in vain considered stars of the first magnitude for those who are looking primarily for non-standard colors. Easy to grow, but not so undemanding as to suit everyone, coleus require constant supervision. But if you take care of them, bushes of velvety unique leaves will easily outshine any competitor.

Salmon backbone baked in Provence herbs - "supplier" delicious pieces fish pulp for light salad with fresh wild garlic leaves.

Ramson and fresh dill coexist perfectly in one salad, emphasizing the flavor of each other. The garlic pungency of wild garlic will soak both salmon flesh and mushroom pieces.

Conifer tree or a shrub on the site is always great, and a lot of conifers is even better. emerald needles various shades decorates the garden at any time of the year, and phytoncides and essential oils secreted by plants not only flavor, but also make the air cleaner. Generally, most zoned adults coniferous plants, are considered very unpretentious trees and shrubs. But young seedlings are much more capricious and require competent care and attention.

Sakura is most often associated with Japan and its culture. Picnics in the shade flowering trees have long been an integral attribute of the meeting of spring in the Land of the Rising Sun. The financial and academic year here begins on April 1, when magnificent cherry blossoms bloom. Therefore, many significant moments in the life of the Japanese pass under the sign of their flowering. But sakura also grows well in cooler regions - certain types can be successfully grown even in Siberia.

It is very interesting for me to analyze how people's tastes and preferences for certain foods have changed over the centuries. What was once considered tasty and traded lost its value over time and, conversely, new fruit crops conquered their markets. Quince has been cultivated for more than 4 thousand years!
