A country estate is unthinkable without flowering corners. And those of us who live in megacities and only visit summer cottages on weekends do not want to see dull, stunted grass, but to plunge into a riot of color and smell. It’s good if we plant flowers once and for a long time, and caring for them will not take much time. Here the mixture of tall perennials “Flower Carnival” will come to our aid.
Composition of the mixture “Flower Carnival”
The “Flower Carnival” mixture is formulated in such a way as to ensure continuous flowering throughout the summer - some flowers are fading, others are just releasing buds. In addition, their colors harmoniously complement each other, creating a real summer extravaganza, pleasing the eye and creating a good mood. The mixture includes:
- Rudbeckia – its perennial tall species bloom all summer, and the yellow flowers with a dark center resemble a small sun;
- Delphinium – slender, pyramidal inflorescences of white, blue, blue, pink, red will decorate any area;
- Catchment or aquilegia – bright, medium-sized flowers of various colors on long peduncles are called by northern peoples “the magic flower of the elves”;
- Chamomile - a well-known and beloved flower, without it any flower garden will not be complete;
- Echinacea – this perennial is very similar to chamomile, only the petals of its flowers are painted in pink, lilac, purple shades;
- Yarrow – his garden forms have flowers of various colors and remind us of childhood;
- Lupins – some of its varieties have a flower brush up to a meter high, others produce many short brushes of various colors. This wonderful flower not only pleases the eye, but also fertilizes the soil and protects plants growing nearby from diseases and pests;
- Digitalis – amazes with the variety of colors and originality of flowers, will be appropriate in any garden.
It should be noted that all plants included in the mixture of tall perennials “Flower Carnival” are unpretentious, reaching a height of 60 to 120 cm.
Planting in open ground and caring for flowers
The place to plant our flower mixture should be sunny or slightly shaded. When warm weather sets in, the threat of frost has passed; for different regions the timing may differ quite significantly, dig up the bed, remove the roots of all weed. If necessary, add compost and sand and start sowing.
Try to sow the seeds of the “Flower Carnival” mixture as rarely as possible - then you will not have to replant the plants in the fall, because they will bloom in one place for more than one year. Embed flower seeds in the soil or simply sprinkle them with soil and water well. In 15-30 days, shoots will appear, and after another month flowering will begin.
If you sow flowers not in a permanent place, but in a nursery, after the flowers grow up and you can determine their identity, transplant them to a permanent place in accordance with the design requirements.
At first, caring for perennials will consist of weeding and loosening the soil; when the bushes grow, this will no longer be necessary. In dry weather, water the flower garden regularly and fertilize until mid-August.
A few recommendations for the device mixborder
If you have a large area, an extensive array of tall perennial flowers along the fences, in the background of the lawn or lower perennials would be appropriate. In small dachas, it is better to sow tall perennials in several places so that small focal groups of flowers are formed - it will look beautiful and stylish.
High perennial flowers, included in the “Flower Carnival” mixture, can cover up unsightly places on our plots - for example, a compost heap or a neglected plot of a careless neighbor.
Remember that the most important thing for plants is your love, for which they will thank you with lush flowering until late autumn.
