Ornamental shrubs are one of the most powerful tools in the hands of a landscape designer. In the country, they are often used as a picturesque emerald green hedge. Low bushes can also serve as a kind of transition from powerful trees to herbaceous plants. Them main function in this case, make the design of the summer cottage harmonious, and the strokes of the design drawing smoother.

Shrubs in landscape design

Perhaps, on each hacienda you can see growing shrubs. They usually cause a lot of problems to negligent summer residents, but in skillful and caring hands they turn into real masterpieces of landscape design.

It's amazing how noticeable the difference is between a neglected wild rose or a barberry that has scattered its branches in different directions and a neatly trimmed boxwood. AT last years topiary art acquires special popularity. And in this design direction, shrubs for the garden are simply irreplaceable.

If you carefully look after them, you can get not only a bright decoration of the site, a slender living fence, but also a natural sculpture. amazing beauty. Like any other plant, the bush pleases a person with its lush flowering, in gratitude for tireless care.

Types of shrubs and rules for their choice

On a summer cottage of any size and style direction flowering shrubs would be appropriate. This is exactly the unique case when there is not much. After all, green mini-trees, standing in a slender wall along the garden alley, or covered with a bright dome of flowers, fit perfectly into all design styles without exception.

Shrubs can be classified according to several principles. For example, frost resistance. When choosing seedlings, pay attention to this property. Hard frost withstand:

These species tolerate winter well, they can be planted in the northern part of the site. But spireas, mock oranges and wild roses love warmth and will be grateful if you take care of warming before the start of the cold season.

Another sign of classification is in relation to lighting. Plant lilacs and fieldfares in those places in your garden where at any time of the year there is enough sunlight. For shaded areas, these types of shrubs are suitable:

I would like to draw the attention of gardeners to the fact that seedlings for landscaping should be chosen taking into account the type of soil. Japanese quince loves warmth, but is quite unpretentious to the ground. Its decoration is not only small flowers and leaves, but also fruits. Thus, this modest bush will delight you with its flowering in spring, greenery in summer, and decorative berries in autumn.Dogwood grows well in moist soil. Its inflorescences are pleasantly fragrant, and the unusual color of the shoots gives a simple bush some kind of exoticism.

Depending on the variety, the color of the leaves may vary: from rich green with a light border to dark bronze. The beautiful forsythia blooms in early spring, when most of the trees have not yet woken up after winter. How fabulous this bush looks, covered with bright yellow flowers! And the requirements of this royal person are also high: fertile soil and moderate watering.For southern regions with sandy soil, the ideal inhabitant is tamarisk. And during the flowering period, you just can’t take your eyes off it!

Variety of colors in the area

Relatively speaking, according to the decorative value, shrubs can be divided into deciduous and flowering ones. Which type to choose - the solution to this issue depends on the desired effect.

For creating landscape composition you need to know everything about the texture and color of leaves or needles. Let evergreen or ornamental bushes not seem boring to you. In beauty, they are in no way inferior to their flowering relatives. Well, how can someone not like the tart smell of juniper?

it coniferous plant is actively used both in topiary art and in the planning of park and country alleys. Beautiful evergreen shrubs for the garden - mahonia with dark-colored foliage and multi-colored panicles, or boxwood, which is simply made for curly haircuts.

The change of seasons can be observed by the color of some bushes. For example, vesicles change the color of the leaves: the Aurea variety throws out reddish leaves from the buds, at the beginning of summer they become almost orange, then slightly fade, and in autumn they explode in the color of bright gold. By the way, if you plant a vesicle in a shaded area, we get a stable green tint. Barberry also gives a wide palette of colors.

Depending on the type, the crown of the bush can be purple or golden, emerald or crimson. They look especially elegant along the low fences that separate the boundaries of the site.

A real fairy tale is blooming ornamental shrubs. The owners will be pleased with the riot of colors, the bees - with a wide scope for work. In early spring Lupus and forsythia are the first to bloom, then lush hats of viburnum and modest miniature bouquets of white turf bloom. Then we are intoxicated with aromas of jasmine bells and curly bunches of the queen of the Russian lilac garden. Broom and rhododendron, cinquefoil and spirea add beauty to our dachas.

Planting shrubs: general rules

Like any ornamental plants, plant and transplant garden bushes follows in the fall. The main thing is to make sure that the shrub has time to take root well before the onset of frost. First of all, you should choose a place to land.

Consider the type of shrub, as we have already discussed above. Need to remove weeds and carefully remove upper layer soil (especially if planting is done on a lawn). Next, we dig a hole. Its dimensions should significantly exceed the width of the root system. Try a seedling. The longest root should not be cramped in it.

The bottom of the pit and the walls must be loosened with a pitchfork to saturate the soil with oxygen. It is recommended to make compost or peat when planting, as well as add a slow-acting fertilizer.

Then put the seedling next to the peg, straighten all the roots, cover with earth. Firm the soil gently with your foot. Make a roller around the pit from the soil so that the water does not spread during irrigation, but goes right under the root. Water the seedling generously from above.

The planted shrub must be tied to a peg. This is done so that the root does not move, and in the future the plant stretches straight up. Bandage from soft material at a height of about 30 cm from the ground.

Basic Care Tips

Contrary to popular belief, garden ornamental shrubs do not require careful maintenance. Forget the stereotype of the gardener, imposed by soap opera directors: in the park near the luxurious mansion, he spends days on end, cutting green shoots and relentlessly shaping the crowns of lush bushes.

In fact, plants need only periodic hilling and proper watering. Of course, it is necessary to cut off excess branches to give a well-groomed shape, and remove old shoots. Frost-resistant viburnum and lilac do not require preparation for the cold season. And roses, hydrangeas and rhododendrons need only be covered with reeds or spruce branches.
