How to avoid failures in the floral design of the suburban area

It is not an easy task to ensure that the flower bed blooms throughout the summer season. When embarking on this exciting creative work, it is important to know a few rules that will get rid of common mistakes:

Planting planning in a flower garden should begin with drawing up a flowering schedule for the plants scheduled for planting. In each period of time, at least three names of flowers should bloom in the flower bed.
It is necessary to draw a plan and allocate a place on it to plants that will serve as a constructive basis for the flower bed and a spectacular frame for flowering neighbors: coniferous and deciduous shrubs, perennials with beautiful foliage. In the intervals between spring-flowering plants, place blooming ones in summer, and determine the place of autumn soloists.
It is necessary to group the plants on the plan according to size and color. Take the big ones in the background, place the small ones in front. If the flower bed is overlooked from all sides, tall plants are grouped in the center. Broad-leaved alternate with narrow-leaved and cereals. Different shades of green are selected and distributed over the area of \u200b\u200bthe flower garden.
Everyone has their own color preferences, but the rules for combining colors are common - either addition or contrast. For instance, yellow contrasts with purple, but is complemented by red, orange. Blue is combined with cold pink, lilac, blue. White color used to dilute too bright color spots, blur borders, soften contrasts.
An approximate calculation of the number of each plant species should be made. You can not plant flowers in separate specimens, for decorative effect homogeneous "spots" are required. Coniferous and large decorative leafy plants (hosta, rogersia, etc.) can be single.

1 - sunflower; 2 - carnation Grenoble; 3 - common backache; 4 - subulate phlox; 5 - edelweiss of Soulia; 6 - coreopsis grandiflora; 7 - gaillardia; 8 - meadowsweet yarrow; 9 - oriental poppy; 10 - panicled phlox; 11 - chrysanthemum; 12 - larkspur; 13 - delphinium blue

Plants for continuous flowering flower beds

Interchangeable compositions from annuals

A less complex, but no less excellent option for a flower bed of continuous flowering is a flower garden of annuals. If you plan to grow seedlings with your own hands, work on its creation begins in winter. Most annuals come from the tropics and subtropics and take time to develop before flowering. For example, petunias begin to be sown for seedlings in February. Since March, asters, viola, annual chrysanthemums and dahlias, levkoy, verbena, cornflowers, alissum, lobelia, Snapdragon and others. In April, the turn of seeds of marigolds, cosmea, nasturtium.

The main secret of a flower bed of annuals is not that they select special flowers that are characteristic of autumn, summer or spring. By creating a conveyor from constantly growing seedlings, you can supply a flower bed with any flowers, regardless of the season. For example, viola or petunia from seedlings can bloom at the end of May and at the end of September.

There are, of course, seasonal annuals. Autumn flower beds are decorated with fireworks from ornamental cabbage, elegant multi-colored asters.

Flowerpots with planted annuals make continuous flowering also mobile. If desired, they can be moved around the site - in the recreation area, at the gazebo, porch, pond, entrance, creating different images and moods. Important rule for decorating flowerpots: planting seedlings is done thicker than in a flower garden for a quick acquisition of a decorative look.

Special attention worth paying tuberous begonias. Their long flowering incredibly decorates flower beds. Luxurious inflorescences of modern varieties compete with roses, reminiscent of azaleas and camellias. The tubers that overwintered at home are divided and cut in the spring. For reliable flowering, it is better to purchase new plants annually.
