Creating flower beds and flower beds takes a lot of time and effort, so perennials are most often planted. They require less maintenance and are as beautiful as annual varieties. There is a wide variety of types of perennial flowers, among which there are many unpretentious and long-flowering representatives.

What to consider when growing perennials

When choosing the type of perennial flowers, it is important to consider not only the appearance of an adult plant, but also the placement features. Some varieties feel best on a sunny alpine hill, while for others, the light can be extremely dangerous. See more examples of unpretentious garden perennials.

There are several criteria to consider when choosing colors:

1. Lighting features. Different types of plants require different amounts of light to grow and develop. There are light-loving (all bulbous, lily, some varieties of rudbeckia), shade-tolerant (primroses and aquilegia) and shade-loving (home lilies of the valley, rogersia and garden acid) perennials. This issue must be clarified at the stage of acquiring seeds, since choosing the wrong place can lead to poor growth and even wilting of flowers;
2. Soil composition. All perennial plants need different amounts of minerals for harmonious development. For example, irises and poppies can be planted even in an infertile place, lupins and asters require medium soil fertility, and some whimsical varieties can grow only in highly fertile lands (peonies, dahlias);
3. Features of the structure of flowers. The choice of a place for growing flowers should correspond to external characteristics. For example, you should not plant ground cover varieties in hanging pots, but place tall plants on alpine slides. It should be borne in mind that some plants grow strongly as they develop, so you need to provide sufficient space in terms of area;
4. Humidity level. Water for some flowers is an important source of development, while for other species it can lead to the development of serious diseases. The perennial variety must be selected depending on the relative humidity. There are moisture-loving and dry-loving varieties, as well as representatives of moderately moist soils.

Carefully read the annotation on the package of seeds. It is there that you can find all the detailed information about the requirements for growing two-year-olds and creating a beautiful perennial garden, since different varieties and hybrids of the same species may differ in their characteristics. Correct and in other colors - a guarantee of a blooming flower bed.

Requirements for the soil itself

To ensure the active growth of perennials, planting is recommended to be placed on fertile soils, if the features of the variety allow it. First of all, it concerns the cultivation of most exotic species plants. And for long and abundant flowering, a large amount of minerals is always required - potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus.

When planting flowers in infertile soil, it is necessary to additionally apply a growth stimulator and inorganic fertilizers.

When growing perennials in flowerpots or alpine slides, as well as hanging pots, it is advisable to choose the substrate depending on the type of plant. In most specialized stores, you can buy soil for almost any family.

If you plan to prepare the soil yourself, then you need to take care of drainage, as well as apply organic fertilizers even before planting.

Flower garden formation technology

It is important to take into account the shade of the petals, as well as choose varieties that have a similar flowering period. The size of a low-growing flower bed depends entirely on the planned landing area;
• for medium colors. Plants can be placed on it, from 30 to 80 cm high. With the help of this type of planting, you can decorate the landscape with a longline composition or a classic single-species planting. A flower garden of this type can be different in area;
• planting tall plants. For this purpose, you need to choose varieties with a height of over 80 cm. A flower bed for tall flowers can be in the form of an island planting or as a hedge. Some gardeners plant tall perennials next to buildings, which allows not only to decorate the exterior of the building, but also to hide wall imperfections. For more information regarding the technology of forming a garden bed, see.

A single planting of perennial flowers is also acceptable, which allows you to decorate adjoining territory without harming crop yields. At the same time, it is recommended to choose varieties that have the shape of a lush bush, and creeping or undersized perennials for a single planting are the worst, with the exception of small flower arrangements.
