Perennial garden shrubs blooming all summer. About the world of plants and country life

For low borders, you can use a low and dense variety. boxwood(Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa) is a slow growing evergreen shrub with very beautiful glossy dark green leaves.

Boxwood is perfect not only for decorating an oriental-style balcony, but also for front trimmed borders. Several varieties of boxwood have been bred, which differ not only in the shape of the leaf, but also in the variegated color of the leaves.

Boxwood is shade-tolerant and drought-resistant, prefers fertile loose soils without stagnant water. For the winter, it is advisable to cover boxwood with agrospan to protect the leaves from winter and early spring sunburn.

For border plantings, it is quite possible to use some varieties. Fortune's euonymus(Euonymus fortunei) - slow-growing, very low, creeping shrub up to half a meter high with long shoots up to 3 meters, easily rooted in the internodes. These shoots are quite capable of clinging to a support, if any. Fortune's euonymus has green small leathery leaves 2-5 centimeters long.

This species, as well as its hybrid forms, such as Fortune's variegated spindle tree (Euonymus fortunei Variegatus) with white-green leaves and pink veins, which can also be used as a ground cover. And ripening fruits will not only add decorativeness to the bushes, but also serve as food for birds.

Fortune's euonymus prefers a half-body, is quite drought-resistant, tolerates pruning well.

Karagan(Caragana) has long been used as ornamental plant. Perhaps most of us know it as an acacia growing in forest belts and parks, but in fact it is a caragana. For example, types such as prickly caragana(Caragana pygmaea) and caragana orange(Caragana aurantiaca) are able to create even impenetrable thickets if they are not cut.

Orange Karagana is a loose shrub up to 1 meter tall with numerous protruding shoots.

It grows well in urban conditions, tolerates drought well, and is completely undemanding to soil fertility. It needs to be trimmed constantly to get a solid green border. Karagana prickly differs from orange only in yellow flowers.

Very beautiful in a hedge snowberry(Symphoricarpos). Snowberry is a deciduous shrub up to 1-1.5 meters tall, especially beautiful in autumn, during long-term fruiting, when the branches bend under the weight of numerous white berries, indeed resembling small snowdrifts. And, perhaps, it is called so because the berries on the bush hold for a long time, right up to the snow.

The snowberry grows very quickly, is completely unpretentious in care, prefers open sunny places, calcareous soils. It grows well in urban conditions with insufficient watering. It tolerates shearing and bush formation. Sometimes in severe snowless winters it can freeze slightly, but it recovers very quickly.

For a low hedge, you can use semi-evergreen honeysuckle glossy, or brilliant(Lonicera nitida) with many lodging shoots, abundantly dotted with shiny green oblong leaves.

Brilliant honeysuckle grows well on both sandy and clay soils, if measures are taken to improve fertility, make the earth water and breathable. It grows well in open, sunny places, and in partial shade. The brilliant honeysuckle is thermophilic, therefore in our climate it loses leaves for the winter and can freeze slightly, therefore it requires shelter for the winter.

and honeysuckle(Lonicera pileata), which differs from the first in fragrant pale yellow flowers. It bears fruit, the fruits are medium-sized, with a cherry, purple. Honeysuckle cap-shaped can grow both in the sun and in partial shade; besides, it is more hardy than glossy honeysuckle, but in cold winters it still loses leaves.

Almond low, or steppe almond(Amygdalis nana = Amygdalis tenella = Prunus tenella) - low, up to 1-1.5 meters tall, branched deciduous shrub, especially beautiful in early spring, when it blooms with very bright, attention-grabbing, pink flowers that bloom along with the leaves. Almond is unpretentious, so it can be successfully used to create permanent garden compositions, flower beds.

Almond low prefers sunny places, tolerates drought, can grow on poor sandy soils. On clay soils, almonds will have to be drained, as they do not tolerate stagnant water in the soil at all.

Suitable for low curbs Cotoneaster Dummer(Cotoneaster dammeri), cotoneaster pressed(Cotoneaster adpressus), cotoneaster horizontal(Cotoneaster horizontalis). Cotoneaster Dummer - ground cover evergreen shrub with long, easily rooted shoots and small, only up to 4 centimeters, oval leaves. In autumn, ripening red fruits add decorativeness to the cotoneaster.

Cotoneaster appressed refers to deciduous ground cover plants. It has small, up to 1.5 centimeters, rounded leaves. Red fruits also ripen in September.

Cotoneasters are undemanding to soil fertility, can grow both in an open sunny place and in partial shade, do not tolerate strong waterlogging, but are very responsive to watering in dry times. For the winter, these types of cotoneaster need to be covered, as they freeze slightly.

Very decorative cinquefoil. Good for low hedges Potentilla Dahurian(Potentella davutica) and cinquefoil shrub(Potentella fruticosa).

Potentilla Dahurian is a low deciduous shrub up to 1 meter tall, blooms all summer with white flowers. Potentilla shrub - neat shrubs of a rounded shape, but slightly higher than the Daurian Potentilla, blooms with yellow flowers, there are varietal forms with white, pink and red flowers. Potentillas are unpretentious in care, they grow well in an open sunny area with minimal watering and top dressing. They tolerate a haircut well, do not require shelter for the winter.

For dry areas with depleted soil for hedges, you can use a steppe plant such as gorse dyeing(Genista tinctoria) - a dense shrub up to 1 meter tall with thin shoots directed upwards. The shoots are covered with narrow pale green leaves. Blooms with bright yellow flowers. The shrub is very unpretentious, although it can freeze slightly in snowless winters, but it quickly recovers.

Rose(Rose) - in no way inferior in beauty to rhododendon, rather, equal among equals, - a worthy representative of ornamental garden shrubs. For low borders, it is quite possible to use ground cover, miniature, patio, polyanthus and even some undersized varieties of floribunda roses. Neatly trimmed, or growing freely - roses never leave indifferent.

However, in order for roses to always be in excellent condition, you need to work hard: roses are quite whimsical. The soil they need is nutritious, moderately moist. Roses need both thinning and sanitary pruning. For the winter, all roses need to be covered.

For some reason to currant(ribes) and gooseberries(Grossularia) we are accustomed to treat only as fruit bushes. However, it is worth looking at them from the other side. Any currant is decorative during the growing season: both in spring, during flowering, and in summer, during fruiting, and even without fruits.

All currants and gooseberries are very similar, but for undersized hedge quite suitable alpine currant(Ribes alpinum) - a compact and rather dense deciduous shrub up to 1.5 meters tall, a dioecious plant, female specimens are suitable for fruiting. True, the berries of the alpine currant are tasteless. Alpine currant is quite unpretentious, grows well in sunny areas, undemanding to soils, but when fertilizing, the shrub is much thicker, tolerates pruning well, does not need shelter.

Japanese chaenomeles hedge is very decorative. Chaenomeles japanese(Chaenomeles japonica), or japonica- dense deciduous shrub up to 1 meter tall. Chaenomeles is very beautiful during flowering, when it is covered with marvelous red flowers. When tied, small rounded fruits with a pleasant lemon taste and smell are formed, from which jams and jams are cooked.

However, the Japanese genomeles needs protection from the northern winds. It is photophilous, grows better on fertile, well-drained soils. In winter, shoots can freeze slightly, but in spring they quickly recover. With strong thickening, thinning is required.

From this list, it is quite possible to choose plants that are ideal for your site, according to the requirements for maintenance conditions, fertility, acidity and soil moisture.

It is absolutely not necessary to go against nature and plant mahonia or rhododendron on poor dry soils, or on wet wetlands - almonds, gorse or boxwood. Only plants that are ideally suited to your conditions will grow quickly, become a real highlight of the garden, and most importantly, they will not require much care.

Almonds are distinguished by early spring flowering in early May. Terry flowers of pink, light red or raspberry color last 2-3 weeks. Most of the summer it looks unattractive, and in the fall it does not differ in showiness.

One of the qualities in favor of Louisiana is high winter hardiness. It prefers rich fertile soil, although it survives on any. It treats watering with restraint, even successfully tolerates a short-term drought. But the duration of flowering directly depends on moisture, the more water, the longer you can admire the beautiful "pink foam".

In care unpretentious. It is favorable to fertile soils of neutral reaction. Prefers comfortable, wind-protected places. Needs annual pruning. Gardeners often form it in the form of a tree.

Spectacular decorative effect and rare unpretentiousness made Barberry a favorite of gardeners. Due to the speed of growth, compactness of the crown, flowering and ripening of edible fruits, it is considered an ideal plant. Breeders have bred many forms with different heights and leaf colors.

In late May, early June, spectacular bright yellow flowers appear on the bush, which last three to four weeks. By autumn, red berries ripen, which are used in cooking. In winter, they decorate the garden until they are pecked by birds.

In the people it is often called Jasmine for the deep perfumery aroma of flowers. Shrub 3 m high. Numerous shoots grow densely from the ground. For this reason, it needs annual thinning, which favorably affects the abundance of flowering in late May and early June.

Each gardener tries to plant their garden as best as possible, but not every plant will adapt to low temperatures, so here is a list ornamental flowering frost-resistant low beautiful shrubs.

To begin with, a few words about the scope of the use of such plants. Firstly, this catalog will suit you if you decide to design a small garden or simply do not want to see shrubs that grow to a three-meter height. Secondly, with the help of low flowering shrubs you can plant entire strips, entire hedges. Most shrubs can be pruned if they start to grow too much. .

Note that many dwarf shrubs are special varieties of plants (two-meter white turf, Canadian dwarf turf). Therefore, when buying a bush for your garden, make sure that they are undersized. Thanks to low-growing varieties, your garden will look very representative, like an ordinary garden, because there will be the same number of separately growing bushes, and they do not take up much space.

Catalog of ornamental flowering frost-resistant low beautiful shrubs - 15 pieces with photo

Let's see 15 shrubs with photos and names that fit the following conditions: undersized, frost-resistant, beautiful.

	Kuril tea or shrubby cinquefoil - decorative frost-resistant low and beautiful shrub, not afraid even of severe frosts of most of Russia. It blooms for two months - July and August, and in September the bush bears fruits from which tea is made. It will be interesting to you that Kuril tea lends itself well to shearing: the flowering of the shrub will even increase. And if you need a low bush, you can’t refuse a haircut.

	Hydrangea - it is impossible to pass by this bright, luxuriantly flowering beautiful bush. The bush is distinguished by voluminous inflorescences in the shape of a ball. The variety of color palette delights, the color of the inflorescences depends on the acidity of the soil. With a high level of acidity, the inflorescences are brighter. Flowering time is August and September. Hydrangea can be safely planted in partial shade, it is not afraid of frost up to -20. This shrub does not grow well in limestone and dry soil.

Planting garlic before winter is a responsible event, here you need to choose the right planting material, correctly determine the planting time, know the subtleties and rules, nuances and features. Let me start with such nuances. Garlic has two different forms: one is referred to as non-arrowing, the second is arrowing. What is an arrow? The simplest is the peduncle. The arrow is formed only by winter garlic, that is, the one that we sow in autumn.

Transplanting sooner or later is necessary for all indoor plants. But in the case of indoor large-sized, it is not carried out as long as possible, since this is not an easy task. And rarely, what adult plants need an annual transplant. In years when transplantation is not carried out, it is recommended to perform a mandatory procedure - a partial replacement of the soil. The topsoil is replaced both for hygiene purposes and to maintain the normal state of the substrate.

Winter pickled cucumbers, crunchy, jarred with garlic, onion and chili are another easy way to prepare savory vegetables for winter. There are many recipes for pickles and marinades, even a lot. This recipe has a twist that is intended for spicy lovers: add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade, and a green chili pod to the vegetables. Such cucumbers, ladies forgive me, will appeal to the strong half of humanity - an amazing cold appetizer.

The vast majority of gardeners, especially summer residents, after the end of the berry picking season, forget about their shrubs until next spring and, at best, feed them after the snow melts with a handful of nitroammophos or weed them, removing the rapidly growing couch grass. This fate befell the black currant. Although outwardly the culture seems to be a healthy and strong shrub, it also requires care and attention. And especially in the autumn, when there is a long winter ahead.

Hydrangeas - shrubs are not only fashionable, but also irreplaceable. They are used both in urban landscaping and in private gardens, paying tribute to the bright foliage, pastel colors of the inflorescence caps and stable decorative effect. Most often, hydrangeas are planted in groups or singly, mixing with other bushes and trees. Meanwhile, perennials will also be able to keep these garden princesses company, with the help of which you can create colorful, stylish and expressive combinations.

Lentil cutlets with chanterelles is a delicious, original hot dish that can be served for dinner with a side dish of mashed potatoes and a thick white sauce. If you want to surprise your guests and family, cook these tender meatballs. You can replace chanterelles with champignons, because it is not every month that you will meet in the forest or on the market exactly “forest gold”. I cooked cutlets from Canadian green lentils, they are cooked in about half an hour. Regular lentils need to be soaked in advance.

In the current season, alas, there is no record apple harvest: the rainy and rather cool summer, which looked like a mixture of autumn and spring, interfered. But still, there is a harvest, it is tangible, and if we do not want the harvested apples to spoil in a couple of weeks, they must be properly stored. They say that with proper storage, an apple can lie for several years, retaining its varietal qualities and properties, but why should we wait so long to taste it?!

One of the most original types of indoor blehnum ferns is rightfully considered one of the most capricious. Its thermophilicity and humidity requirements have turned this relic plant into a real legend. Blekhnum, or derbyanka in the room - the fern is not for everyone, but it is surprisingly beautiful. Rather large sizes and remotely reminiscent of palm leaves, fronds will easily outshine any other decorative leafy plant in your interior.

Pancakes from zucchini with cheese and garlic - tasty dish worthy of a Sunday breakfast, especially in harvest season. Pancakes are a useful thing, you can’t prepare them for the future, but you can completely eliminate part of the crop with benefit. For a family of three, one medium-sized vegetable weighing up to 1 kilogram minus cleaning is used. From this amount, you get an impressive appetizing slide of pancakes, which will famously leave with sour cream while watching the Sunday morning show.

Mixed ridges and narrow long flower beds along the paths and walls are in fashion today. And although this is the most colorful, it is not the only design option for colorful plant frames of various functional purposes. Sometimes it is not advisable to break even the smallest ridge about half a meter wide; the design requires greater rigor and “subtlety” of the plant line. A narrow and neat border of one plant is the most obvious, but the only way out.

Now is the very beginning of autumn, the whole crop has not even been harvested from the site yet. But you may not believe that in order to ensure the harvest of the next season, the vacated soil, for future beds, is already time to start preparing. And this is not a joke at all: you need to prepare this soil correctly so as not to be disappointed in the next year's harvest. How to prepare the beds, how to properly dig and fertilize the most common vegetable crops right now, we will tell you today.

Pickled cucumbers in circles with citric acid are garnish cucumbers, the cooking principle of which I somehow spied on in one TV show. They showed a large factory where cucumbers are pickled for hamburgers. These are really excellent side dishes, which are indispensable in cases of emergency, when there is no time to cook dinner, but you need to feed your family. On a plate to mashed potatoes and sausages put a slide of cucumbers with onions - and it's already delicious!

Proper nutrition for indoor plants- one of the factors of their normal development. Fertilizers are often misunderstood as just a flowering or growth aid, but their significance is much more important. Plants obtain substances from the soil and air. But in a limited amount of substrate, they depend on whether top dressing is carried out correctly and what fertilizers are used. For pets, both macro- and microelements are equally important.
