Small yellow flowers for pots with names. The secret of a luxurious garden is ampelous compositions. Benefits of planting flowers in outdoor flowerpots

Good afternoon dear friends!

Recently I looked at photos of beautifully decorated flower beds in German cities. I have always been interested in the question, how do they get such lush beautiful flowers in flowerpots and flowerpots? I tried to study this issue, looked at the advice of our experienced flower growers. It turned out that the matter is not only in proper care, but also in what flowers to plant in a flower pot!

What flowers to plant in a pot

We all love beauty, especially hand-grown flowers. Usually, in the country there is not much space to break large flower beds. In this case, it is convenient to plant flowers in a flower pot. Even small flower arrangements in flowerpots and flowerpots will embellish the site and create a mood. But even in large areas in landscape design, flowers in flowerpots are necessarily used. This is so beautiful! And they bloom all summer.

Moreover, not only classic ones bought in stores are suitable as flower pots, but also, in principle,.

Let's find out first of all what flowers can be planted in a flowerpot. It can be not only ampelous (strongly hanging) plants, but also others.

The most popular flowers that look great both in hanging planters and in tall flowerpots:

• alyssum that blooms with a beautiful hat

• achimenes - a chic flowering plant with large flowers of white, red, blue, purple
• balsam is a bright plant that blooms all summer

• bacopa - a beautiful plant with flowers of different sizes in blue, white, pink, forms chic cascades. Very picky in care. Unlike petunias, which need to be plucked all the time, bacopa is a self-cleaning plant. Small flowers dry up and fall off without loss for decoration.
• rose-like begonia

• bidens is a very unpretentious plant, loves bright places. The more light, the more abundant blooms. And the more pinching done, the thicker and denser the cap of the plant
• verbena - a well-known beautiful plant
• calibrachoa - a plant with small bell flowers, related to petunia, very similar to it

• lobelia with small charming flowers of sky-blue color, but it can also be white and purple. Planting and care is also similar to petunias - lobelia is grown by seedlings, in February small seeds are sown, scattering over the ground, better mixed with sand. Usually several plants dive together a month after the appearance of sprouts.

• nasturtium - its shoots can reach 2 meters
• beloved by all of us. There is probably no other culture that enjoys such a worldwide wide love. The least whimsical and capricious are such varieties of petunias as purple, lilac and pink.
  potonia - differs from the petunia we are used to in that it does not require pinching, it itself naturally branches. But she loves to eat very much, the more often she is fed, the longer the shoots are. And you need to feed the potunia with each watering, i.e. almost daily, with a weak solution of mineral fertilizers (if the fertilizer instructions say to dissolve one cap per liter, then in our case you need to take half a cap)
• ivy-leaved pelargonium is a very spectacular plant and an unusually beautiful sight! From the beginning of July until the very frosts, pelargonium produces large, profusely flowering cascades. The length of the shoots can be up to 1 meter;

• fuchsia - unpretentious flowers of a very beautiful color.

Of course, other flowers can be planted in pots on the street: in the country and even on the balcony in containers or hanging pots.

How to plant flowers in a pot to bloom all summer

First you need to determine where the flower pots will be. From this place will depend on what flowers to plant.

For places where the sun will look only in the morning or in the evening, fuchsia and morning glory are suitable.

On the south or southwest side, it is good to plant, for example, petunias, violets, begonias.

In Europe, it is not customary to grow monocultures in pots, i.e. consisting of one type of plant, as we have only one petunia or pelargonium. They like to combine these plants with each other. And it is right. The point is not only that interesting beautiful compositions are obtained, but also because many ampelous plants are very capricious. The most capricious is our favorite petunia. A few days of rain and the petunia leaves miserable lashes with drooping flowers, you have to pluck it so that it comes back to life. Therefore, to create an ever-beautiful flowering planter, you do not need to plant petunia alone in it, but you need to combine plants.

A mixture always looks better than a single plant.

We place 2-3 varieties of plants in one pot. We select them by color so that they are either in the same color scheme or contrasting. For example, red and green plants, yellow and purple, or blue, purple and green are well combined.

We arrange the plants so that they look beautiful in a flower pot and correlate with each other in height.

In the center we place taller plants, for example, three fuchsia bushes of different shades. They will become a bright accent of the composition due to their bright pink flowers.

Hanging plants are placed along the edges of the pots. You can add ivy or indoor chlorophytum to fuchsia, which feels great outdoors in summer.

In general, flowers of green or white-green color go well with all types of ampelous plants.

Plectranthus, coined loosestrife, tolmeya are very well suited as replanting.

Plectranthus is interesting for its unusual coloring of foliage and enlivens any composition. Very unpretentious, has great growth power, easily rooted at home. If a plant suddenly falls into the pot, the plectranthus will always occupy this space.

Monetary loosestrife is not a capricious plant, it takes root well, it is not at all demanding for top dressing. But in the sun or when it dries out, it can turn yellow, so watering should be regular and sufficient.

Tolmeya is a shade-tolerant culture, can grow in the light, and feels great in the shade.

In the country or in the garden, use several containers of different sizes and shapes, but from the same material, then the compositions will not be boring.

How to plant correctly:

1. First of all, let's prepare a planter - we will arrange a drainage layer in it, it is better to use expanded clay, which must be poured into the bottom of the planter with a layer of 2-3 cm.
2. Then we pour a small layer of fertile soil. Ordinary land from the garden is heavy and in this case is not suitable. For flowers in a flowerpot, it is better to purchase a special primer in the store.
3. We place our plants on the ground. The distance between flowers planted in pots should be slightly less than is usually recommended when planting in open ground.
4. Then we fill the free gaps with earth. There should be 2 cm left to the edge of the pot, unoccupied by the ground. This is necessary for convenient watering.

As the shoots grow, to form a lush even bush, the pots need to be turned every two weeks in different directions with respect to the sun.

Song examples:

• petunia - bidens - ipomoea
• petunia - caliberhoa - bacopa
• petunia - verbena - calibrachoa
• colius - petunia - alyssum
• verbena - calibrachoa
• calirahoa - sweet potato - verbena or geranium
• verbena - bidens - lobelia.

The original design of the garden using hanging planters is becoming increasingly popular. Ampelous flowers have not only a decorative appearance, but also poetic sonorous names: surfinia, sponge, verbena, petunia, lobelia. This article is an overview of ampelous plants for hanging compositions with descriptions and photos.

Flowering plants with a long stem are not able to support the weight of the green mass, so they hang down or require support. The high decorative qualities of these flower crops, flowering during the summer period, the variety of colors and the uniqueness of flower shapes, allow landscape architects to widely use these plants to create unique garden compositions.

Very often, hanging planters are formed from several types of ampelous plants, which replace each other in terms of flowering. Plants with green leaves of different tones are selected, as well as variegated varieties of ampelous plants. When composing colorful compositions in hanging planters, you should choose flowering crops by color - it is very important to achieve a harmonious combination.

Ampel compositions can decorate open courtyard verandas, terraces, gazebos. Planters with a flowing cascade of bright colors are appropriate in small cozy courtyards, patios, large gardens and city parks.

By creating a picture of flowering hanging baskets, you can constantly update the design of the garden by swapping compositions of climbing plants. It is quite possible to revive the most unpresentable parts of the garden with the help of a blooming oasis of bright ampelous ones. Winter gardens and insulated loggias are decorated with flowering cascades of bright plants that thrive in warm rooms in winter.

Attention! Ampelous plants are absolutely undemanding in care, even a novice grower can handle their cultivation.

Conditions for ampel cultures

When arranging hanging flowering gardens, it is very important to create suitable conditions for the ampelous plants themselves, among which there are light-loving and shade-tolerant varieties. When forming a hanging basket, it is important to select crops with similar growing conditions.

In the bright sun, lobelia, ivy pelargonium, verbena, dichondra feel great. Petunia is a versatile plant for vertical gardening, the plant tolerates bright light and partial shade.

For growing in the shade, there are special crops, the queen among which is tuberous begonia. Ampelous varieties of this plant with small leaves and huge multi-colored flowers look perfect in any corner of the garden. Begonia can be planted not only in hanging planters, compositions from these plants are ideal for flowerpots with high legs.

Advice. Among ampelous crops, there are moisture-loving and drought-resistant species. It is important to choose plant varieties that make up the basket, taking into account this aspect.

It is impossible to plant ampelous crops in windy places - leaves and petals quickly lose their fresh appearance and lose their decorative effect. It is best to place decorative planters under the protection of the walls of buildings or decorative landscape structures.

It is very important to choose the right height for the flowering hanging planters - they should not interfere with the movement of people, the flowers should not be injured by the clothes and bags of passers-by.

Varieties of the new selection are often painted in bright colors of red, lilac, pink, some varietal series have a bright white eye in the center of the flower. Against a contrasting background, the white center of a charming flower looks contrasting. Verbena does not fade in the sun, when old faded heads are removed, new bud formation and a second wave of flowering are stimulated. The plant is able to delight with bright flowers until the fall, which reduces the cost of planting new plants in baskets to replace faded varieties.

And the most common crop for growing in hanging baskets is petunia.

During flowering, abundant watering is necessary; drying out in a pot of earth should not be allowed. After flowering ends, with the onset of spring, jasmine must be cut off - on the one hand, a more compact plant looks more attractive, on the other hand, this will cause the appearance of young lateral shoots. What is very important, because the greatest intensity of flowering falls just on young shoots. To improve branching, young shoots in June can be pinched off the top.
