The choice of plants for planting in the country is a very important stage, because the appearance of the summer cottage, the amount of time spent caring for the flower beds, and the mood of the owners and guests who visited the country estate depend on their varietal diversity. To begin with, you should not get hung up on exotic species that are difficult to care for, it is better to choose a few unpretentious, but bright representatives of the flora. Let's take a closer look at what flowers to plant in the country so that it turns into a cozy piece of paradise.
Many lovers of country rest visit the cottage only on weekends, therefore, they need to choose flowers that require minimal care. In addition, plants must tolerate drought or, conversely, prolonged rains. If capricious roses are planted in more northern latitudes, they will require daily attention, so consider options that quietly develop on their own, at least for a week.
Cheerful yellow and orange marigolds are undemanding to the soil and atmospheric "gifts". The only condition for their successful cultivation is a place lit by the sun, and this can be a patch in the middle of the lawn, and a narrow flower bed along the path, and containers suspended from the wall. Low varieties of marigolds are ideal for arranging borders or borders.
Bright monochromatic marigolds look more elegant when surrounded by plants with decorative large leaves, for example, against the background of an ordinary or spotted hosta.
Climbing, freedom-loving nasturtium is great for lightly shaded areas. It grows quickly, so it should be planted in places with a lot of free soil. In order for the nasturtium bush to retain its shape and size for as long as possible, it is placed in a pot or a small container. Beginning of May - best time for sowing these pink, burgundy, lilac, yellow or variegated plants.
Imopea is distinguished by large, visible from afar flowers, which can decorate both the wall of the house and a trellis specially arranged for it. Imopeya loves supports and has increased tenacity, so she can easily “pounce” on any object standing nearby - a bench, a tree, a corner of the house. These beautiful flowers with large buds love sunlight and organic fertilizers.
A feature of growing nasturtium is the dosed application of fertilizers. A large amount of minerals will cause rapid leaf growth, but will extinguish the formation of inflorescences
Two or three varieties of imopei with buds of different shades look original and harmonious, planted near a trellis, arch or trellis
Perennials as a symbol of stability
If there is no time to change the composition of flower beds annually and transplant plants from place to place, it is better to stop at perennials, which, once rooted, will delight the eye for a long time. Recognized leaders among perennials are luxurious dahlias and fragrant peonies, which, during their flowering, turn flower beds into huge white-pink-red clouds.
Get ready for the fact that the aristocratic peony will decorate your territory for 10 years or more. This dominant plant blooms vigorously throughout the summer, and the rest of the time the decorative task is performed by its dark glossy greens. Peonies are not capricious: in autumn it is enough to remove their above-ground part. It is not necessary to cover or wrap the plants from frost, so as not to damage the sprouts in the spring.
Dahlias are great for individual plantings, and for group compositions, and even for creating lush arrays. They like places well lit by the sun, but protected from the wind. One of the landing conditions is moisture-intensive, fairly fertile soil, as well as moderate use of organic matter (manure). Dahlias bloom towards the end of summer, so flower beds can be supplemented with lower plants.
Dahlia roots need additional air flow: regularly feeding and watering the flowers, it is necessary to loosen the soil and remove weeds

This simple procedure guarantees an extension of the flowering period and an increase in the size of the plant.
Some varieties of violets are propagated by seeds, for others green cuttings are more suitable, which are best done in early summer.
Shade-tolerant flower varieties
Shaded garden corners often look monotonous, boring and abandoned due to the persistent opinion that nothing takes root there. In fact, there are many beautiful plants that can turn even the darkest area into a colorful meadow. These include both perennials and noble herbs, mainly decorative element which are variegated, striped, spotted and multi-colored leaves. Consider to revive them.
Moderate flowering plants
With bright pink and blue flowers, a low plant, the lungwort, stands out against the background of greenery. The three most common species perfectly tolerate shade - medicinal, Dacian and red lungwort. The plant is valued for its versatility and unpretentiousness: early spring bloom in summer it is replaced by decorative variegated leaves, which persists until the first snow. One individual is able to develop and bloom for 30 years.
Excellent honey plant medicinal plant foxglove is also easy to shade. The lack of sunlight does not prevent it from reaching a height of one and a half meters and crumbling into juicy pale pink or snow-white buds. To turn a boring corner of the garden into a comfortable area for reading or relaxing, just put a bench and surround it with lush foxglove bushes - a gloomy place will come to life and sparkle with bright colors.
Foxglove seeds ripen towards the end of summer. The most viable seeds are in boxes at the bottom of the stem, where the first flowers appear.
Original ornamental grasses
forest thickets and shady places near walls and fences are not afraid of garden ferns. From fern bushes and shade-tolerant plants form beautiful green compositions that can decorate both the garden and the recreation area, and adjoining territory. The most popular varieties of fern: maidenhair, leaflet, multi-row, ostrich, nomadic.
The fern is easily propagated by spores, which are best sown in early spring. The optimal soil for planting is a mixture of fertile forest land and peat
The garden will not do without the prima donna of shady areas - hostas, different varieties of which set the mood of the lower tier. Inexpressive flowering is offset by the beauty and nobility of exquisite leaf plates, which can be decorated with wide white stripes, marble stains, large specks or bluish-violet edging.
Perennial hostas feel great for several seasons in one place, so the soil occasionally needs to be dug up, fertilized and mulched.
The summer cottage is a great place to experiment and implement your own ideas. To turn a gloomy territory into a positive and rosy place of rest, it is enough to break a flower bed near the porch or arrange a small flower garden in the garden - the choice of its filling is up to the owners.
For most of us, flowers are an indispensable decoration. garden plot, but in many of them the flowering period is limited to a few days or weeks. Long-blooming unpretentious perennials for the whole season can turn your garden into a real sea of colors and aromas.

Plants of different varieties reach two meters in height or can be quite low. The aerial part of the bush dies off for the winter. Dissected leaves with red cuttings make the plant decorative at any time.
Astilba blooms during the summer months. Paniculate or pyramidal inflorescences with high peduncles are collected from small openwork flowers, have a variety of colors: white, pink, lilac, purple, red.
Astilbe is propagated by seeds and division of the bush.
Astilba can be grown in the most shaded corners of the site, it does not need abundant sunlight, but it needs to be provided with enough water. The bush looks aesthetically pleasing in mixborders with other shade-loving perennials: lilies of the valley, irises, late tulips, bergenia. Classic variant for the site - a flower bed with astilbe and hosta.

Thanks to the pink flowers, the dicentra cannot be confused with another plant: in shape they resemble hearts up to 2 cm in diameter. At the bottom of the flower are protruding white petals. The dicentra blooms in May, the duration of flowering is a month.
Dicentra propagates by division of the rhizome and above-ground shoots, the seed method is very laborious and often inefficient.
You can plant it on any soil, but it is better to choose nutritious, light, moderately moist and drained. Both a sunny place and a shade are suitable for a dicentra. In the shade, flowering will be later, but long-lasting.
Care for a "broken heart" consists in timely watering, weeding and loosening the soil.

Irises love light and fertile soil with good drainage (except for the marsh and Siberian species, which prefer moist soil). Plant nutrition is carried out mineral fertilizers. Most often, irises are propagated vegetatively (by dividing the rhizome).
Irises of different types and varieties can be planted in a monoflower - iridarium. The borders of irises along the paths or along the perimeter of the flower garden look beautiful. A bush of bearded iris can be planted against a shrub or lawn. Marsh iris is good for decorating garden ponds. Dwarf irises are suitable for creating rockeries (slides).

To care for the plant, you need to loosen the soil and remove weeds, adult plants must be hilled. Lupine loves abundant spring and moderate watering at other times.
Lupine is sometimes grown as green manure - a nitrogen replenisher in the soil: its rotten stems and leaves become a good fertilizer.
Lupine looks good in a single planting, in homogeneous groups and in complex flower beds with other perennials: cornflower, iris, hosta, delphinium, lily. Tall bright lupins are planted in the background of the composition.
Important! In developing the design of a multi-level flower bed, it is important to correctly position the plants in height. If the flower bed is placed near a fence or wall, tall plants are planted in the background, and low ones in the foreground. If the flower bed looks like an island, tall plants are placed in the center, and low plants are placed at the edges. Tall perennials can be planted alone or in small groups, and medium-sized plants can be placed next to them.
The peony family contains only one genus - peony, the majority of which are herbaceous species. Peony bushes attract fragrant lush flowers one or different shades (red, burgundy, pink, white), the diameter of which reaches 15-20 cm.

Peonies look most impressive in a vast space in the middle of the lawn.. In garden design, peonies can be used to give volume to a flower arrangement and create a backdrop for plants after flowering. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the color scheme. For example, plants with red flowers against the background of burgundy peonies will be lost, and a combination with white or coral will create a good ensemble.
Plant height is also important: partners should be taller (trees) or shorter (plants with small flowers). Several different varieties of peony are best not planted side by side.
Important!Between the peony bushes, it is better not to plant other plants, but to leave this place free for loosening.

On one leaf blade, several colors can be arranged in stripes, spots, lines. Leaf color is one of the signs of the classification of host varieties; the second sign is the size of the plant (from dwarf to giant).
Hosta is propagated by seeds, dividing the bush, cuttings. Different varieties of hostas need different lighting: blue varieties like shade, plants with yellow and white elements on the leaves prefer more light. Optimal lighting for hostas is partial shade. The soil should be neutral or slightly acidic, sand and heavy loam are not recommended. If the soil is fertile, fertilizing is not required for several years.
For hosta, timely watering is important, it is done under the root of the plant in the morning. Due to its strong growth in the garden, the undersized hosta is used as a ground cover. It is often planted at the edges garden paths, near reservoirs. In flower beds, the hosta provides a backdrop for other perennial garden flowers: astilbe, aquilegia, dicentra, peony, fern.
Did you know?Without a transplant, the host grows in one place for up to twenty years.
Echinacea is a perennial plant in the Asteraceae family. In culture, the most popular species is Echinacea purpurea.

Did you know? Echinacea is a valuable medicinal plant with a powerful immunomodulatory effect, as well as antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties.
For echinacea, you need to choose a bright and fertile place, as it does not tolerate shade and sandy soil. However, the plant is resistant to drought and cold. Echinacea is propagated by seeds (specific plants) and division of the bush (hybrid varieties). All that the plant requires in care is plentiful frequent watering in the evening, removing weeds and top dressing from rotted compost with ash from the second year of life in spring and after flowering.
