Unpretentious flowers

Perennial flowers are distinguished by their undemanding. Many grow in one place for a long time, become more and more beautiful, winter well, give new shoots in spring, bloom. We are happy to settle them in our dachas, we select the most unpretentious ones for the cemetery. The only preparation is to find out in advance what conditions are required for each plant for a comfortable existence: soil features, attitude to light, irrigation regime. And there you can already choose from a huge number of perennials the most beautiful, long-flowering or, conversely, those that will decorate the site with their leaves.

Bulbous plants open the flowering season. It is good to have blueberries and snowdrops in your garden, they are unpretentious, do not require care at all, they winter well. They can be planted under trees – they love shady places and earth with leafy humus, but can also grow in open lawns, suitable for a cemetery

Botanical tulips begin to bloom in early spring. These are low plants (although some species can reach 50 cm) with charming flowers that come not only in incredible colors, but in different shapes and not even single ones – many varieties bloom in a bunch. In one place, 5 years can grow, and they become more beautiful with the growth of the bulbs. Interestingly, the flowering time increases if the spring is cold.

Speaking of spring bulbous plants, one cannot fail to mention muscari or mouse hyacinth. White, pink, most often blue flowers with a pleasant smell look great among the stones. They are often used when arranging an alpine hill in the country. They are the most unpretentious you can wish for – they winter well, grow on any soil, in the sun or in the shade, you do not need to dig out the bulbs, if you do not cut off the flower stalks, they also disperse themselves. The only thing Muscari doesn’t like is stagnant water. They are also often planted in cemeteries.

Pushkinia, crocuses and daffodils do not need to be introduced, these beautiful unpretentious flowers often become garden decorations. They bloom from April to June, they can grow in the sun and in partial shade, they are not demanding on the soil.

Bulbs are often prey to rodents – this is the only thing that can lime garden bulbous plants. It is very interesting that rodents like crocuses more than others, but daffodils not only do not suffer from their voracity, but also drive away these pests. So daffodils can be planted along the perimeter of flower beds as a protection. Low Pushkinia is often planted in groups; a border of these flowers along the path looks great.

There is another strange bulbous plant – colchicum. It is very poisonous, but beautifully flowering, and it blooms when all the others are preparing for winter. Suddenly, in the middle of autumn, a bright flower blooms, similar to a large crocus – this is a very spectacular sight. He loves sunny places, does not require a transplant, the bulbs are planted in a garden in the middle of summer (July – August), sometimes they are used in cemetery beds.

After the bulbous ones, remarkably unpretentious garden perennials bloom in summer, every year they become more magnificent and more beautiful. For example, long-flowering aquilegia. This elegant plant serves as a decoration of the dacha not only during flowering, the elegant openwork foliage always looks charming. It is better to purchase this flower and plant it in your garden as an adult to avoid hassle. It likes moist soil and grows well in full sun or shade. If you do not remove the flower stalks on time, then the aquilegia will scatter throughout the site (which is good for the cemetery), but the hybrid varieties will not retain their qualities, it will be impossible to predict the colors.

Simple rules of care

Most often, perennial crops are settled on the site through seedlings; you should not sow seeds in open ground. You can buy an already grown plant or divide a bush that grows with neighbors and plant it in your country house. Flowers are planted in the fall so that they have time to take root before the cold weather and easily overwinter. In the Moscow region, this may be the end of August or September.

If the soil is chosen correctly, a comfortable place is chosen, then further care will not be difficult. All flowers need watering, but unpretentious perennials can endure periods of drought. Most of them do not like stagnant water, and its lack is tolerated more easily.

It is necessary to fight weeds, loosen the soil, periodically feed the plants. Mulching with small stones or sand will help to get rid of weeds and delay the evaporation of moisture, usually this is done to give the flower bed a more decorative and well-groomed appearance.

Most bulbs prefer their bulbs to be dug up, dried in the shade, then they will delight in lush color next year. Some perennial crops cannot grow in one place for a long time; after 3, 5, 7 years (each has its own terms), they need to be transplanted. There are flowers that grow very much, their roots need to be separated. Such events are carried out one-time and quite rarely. And general care consists in watering, weeding, loosening the soil, rare top dressing with fertilizers – this is a very easy payment for the annual decoration of the garden with decorative greenery and flowers.
