Bulbous perennials wintering in the ground
In the spring, I want so much that the site will soon become covered with greenery and become more attractive. And the first to please with their flowering are bulbous perennials. These crops winter well in the open field and begin to grow from the first warm days. But still, they need to pay some attention.
Care of bulbous perennials wintering in the open field
Despite the fact that crops tolerate frosts well, they still need to be prepared before the onset of cold weather. For this, the entire ground part of the flower is cut off. If in your region winters are not characterized by large snowfall, then it is better to cover perennials with spruce branches, peat, fallen leaves or humus.
Bulbous perennials bloom much earlier than other plants.
Plants require constant watering. But moisture should not be allowed to stagnate, because from this the bulbs can rot. Also, for good growth and development, it is recommended to periodically feed them. Perennials can feel good in one place up to 4-5 years. But then they need a transplant.
The best bulbous perennials
There are many cultures that delight with their attractive appearance already at the very beginning of spring. But the most popular among gardeners are the following:
- Crocuses. Small bushes up to 20 cm in height, give 6 buds. Peduncles are star-shaped, with a diameter of up to 5 cm and a varied shade of petals.
- Irises. Peduncles are small in size with various shades of petals and a pleasant, pronounced aroma. They require a lot of attention.
- Tulips. The most common spring flowers, with an unpretentious character and attractive appearance. There is a huge variety of varieties and species, differing in head size, stem length, shape and shade of petals.
- Hyacinths. Early unpretentious crops that are in great demand among gardeners. Perennial flower stalks are small, but collected in rather large clusters.
- Lilies. They bloom in late spring and delight with their attractive appearance almost all summer.
- Daffodils. Spring flowers with a capricious character.
- Hazel grouse. They need frequent replanting and are distinguished by a demanding nature in the choice of soil.
Every gardener will be able to find the most suitable bulbous flower for himself, which does not require transplanting before the winter period. But in order for the plant to please with its attractive appearance, it will be necessary to provide it with proper care. And then your site will sparkle with bright colors at the very beginning of spring.
