What shrub to plant in a sunny place. Favorite flowers

Under the sun's rays, perennials bloom with special splendor and beauty. The choice of their species and varieties is large enough so that every gardener can find plants of the color, shape and flowering period that suit him.

The most successful places for many profusely flowering garden perennials- open to the sun.

Here such noble long-flowers as lilies, peonies and phloxes can show themselves in all their glory. They tolerate short-term daytime shade quite calmly, but longer shading and even openwork shade from trees and shrubs seriously affect their prosperity.

Particularly sensitive in this regard are large, luxuriant breeding varieties of sun-loving perennials. For them, the most optimal rabatki with fertile and sufficiently moist soils.

The design of sunny areas depends entirely on your taste and, of course, on real opportunities your garden. Small flower beds in the front garden can be arranged no less effectively than a rabatka stretched along the garden path, a "ribbon" of perennials along the border of the garden or a flower island in the center of the lawn.

In any case, it is very important to skillfully combine plants according to growth. Such tall and luxuriant crops as krasnodnev, mallow and lupine are most advantageous in the "far" section of the flower bed. Their flower stalks will rise above the shorter crops in the foreground, which in turn will cover the bases of their shoots.

For a beautiful transition between open to the sun discount and lawn, terrace or garden path very well suited compact cushion perennials - aster shrub, gray carnation or Carpathian bell. They will reliably cover the soil with a dense leafy cover, which will decorate the edges of the rabatok at the time when flowering ends.

The most important advantage of sun-loving perennials is their colorful outfit. Their multi-color arrangement looks best against a calm background of trees and shrubs.

In order to achieve certain color combinations, it is necessary to take into account the periodicity of the development of each individual culture.

The peak of flowering perennials falls on the period from June to August. At this time, such large yellow-colored "sun worshipers" bloom magnificently, such as rudbeckia, heliopsis, coreopsis, gelenium, as well as juicy red Monarda and bookophia.

Calm white and blue notes bring this color different kinds and varieties of bluebell and spur (delphinium).

You can extend the flowering season on the sun bed with attractive fall-blooming crops such as sedum, garden chrysanthemums or autumn asters.

Most perennials will re-bloom in the fall if pruned after the main flowering period. Such plants include delphinium, stenaktis, catnip and scabious.

The choice of spring sun-loving perennials is somewhat less. Bloom in April rezuha, meadow backache and Adonis. Join them in May day-lily, catnip and peony.

You can enrich the spring palette with such bulbous ones as narcissus, tulip and grouse. Since bulbous crops become unattractive after flowering, they should not be planted in the foreground of flower beds.

An easier-to-care-for large flower garden option is a sunny lawn. wild perennials - nivyanik, yarrow, meadow sage- prosper here in a motley company with herbaceous plants. Such lawns are sown with a special seed mixture or planted individual cultures on an existing lawn.

Such rosettes have a height and diameter of about 30-40 cm, and peduncles with small red or white small flowers collected in a brush rise to a height of up to 60 cm.

Some stonecrops (o. visible, o. tenacious) form rounded bushes 40-60 cm high with bluish, bright green, variegated (white with green), purple foliage, blooming in mid-summer and autumn with pink, purple, yellow, white flowers collected in flat inflorescences.
