Among the varieties of perennial plants, you can choose those suitable for any site, decorate it with lush greenery or bright colors, decorate the walls of a house or gazebo with climbing vines. Creating a flower garden takes a lot of effort and time, but the right approach choosing plants is already half the battle.

Distinctive features of perennials

Many gardeners prefer to plant annual plants, motivating this by more lush and vibrant flowering, but they are quite demanding. But there are not only perennial climbing plants, shrubs and herbaceous plants, which is confirmed by numerous photos, and if you take into account all the features when choosing flowers, then throughout the entire season, from early spring to late autumn, the garden will look blooming. The main features of perennials that distinguish them from annual plants:

• transplantation is needed every 2-3 years;
• frost resistance;
• long flowering period;
• minimal care;
• can serve as the basis of a mixed flower garden, since they grow in one place and can be constantly supplemented with other plants.

Perennial plants will be an excellent basis for future flower arrangements, since when transplanting they can be separated and seated without resorting to additional expenses. For this reason, perennials benefit much more than annual plants.

Perennial herbaceous plant with decorative leaves will help, along with flowering ones, to create multi-level garden compositions, decorate slides, lawns and flower beds. In addition, there are perennial climbing plants and shrubs that can serve as hedges.

Features of planting perennials

Unlike annuals, perennial plants need to be planted in the fall so that they will please the eye at the beginning of the next season. The flowerbed plan should be designed in advance. When creating a flower garden, you should consider not only the compatibility of shades various plants, having looked at the photo, but also their flowering time and height. Low views should be placed in the foreground.

Advice! When planting perennial plants, it is best to focus on tiered planting, since flowers grouped by height look much more impressive.

Ranunculaceae

Plants of the buttercup family are ideal for garden growing, which is why they are so widespread. Ranunculaceae are mostly perennial, although among them there are annual and biennial species, even subshrubs. These flowers are well adapted to cold climates and are not picky about the soil. Ranunculaceae vary greatly in appearance. This family is quite extensive, so you should read the photo to select varieties.

For garden design, buttercups are divided into several groups:

1. Ground cover, they are used to decorate lawns and lawns. These include columbine, delphinium, wood anemone.
2. Swamp and coastal ones, used when landing near garden ponds. Among them we can note the marigold, the swimsuit (European and Asian), and the wrestler.
3. Climbing or vines necessary for decorating gazebos, walls, hedges, etc., for example, clematis and princely.

   Perennial plants of the buttercup family are divided into light- and shade-loving, depending on the species. The sun is necessary for spurs, clematis, and basilisk. In partial shade, it is worth planting aconite capulata, swimsuits, adonis, hellebore, and sleep-grass.

   Among the buttercups there are low and tall plants. Flowering from the end of July, the basilisk, which belongs to the Ranunculaceae, reaches 1.8 m in height. Delphiniums with bright racemose inflorescences grow up to 2 m.

   The catchment is considered to be of medium height (40-70 cm). It is best to plant it in rocky areas, along garden paths or next to trees. Low-growing buttercups include anemone and liverwort; lawns are usually planted with them. These plants tolerate shade well and can be planted near bodies of water.

   To extend the life of perennial plants from the buttercup family, they need to be covered with dry leaves or spruce branches before wintering. Once every 3-4 years (except for biennial varieties), replanting is necessary.

   Tall perennials

   Such plants can be planted in separate groups or as a spectacular background to multi-tiered compositions, as in the photo. Among the tall perennials there are both flowering ones and plants with beautiful lush leaves.

   Advice! Many varieties of tall perennial plants differ in the duration of the growing season, so they begin to bloom quite late - in mid-summer.

   In semi-shaded areas of the garden you can plant tricirtis, whose flowers resemble orchids or lilies. This perennial begins to bloom in early July, and pleases with its appearance until frost.

   Lupines are loved by many gardeners; these unpretentious flowers look very bright and different huge selection shades. These plants look good when planted in separate groups, and in a floral ensemble they ideally complement smaller flowers. Among the highest garden plants the willow-leaved sunflower stands out. Its large saucer-shaped flowers of a golden brown hue are visible even outside the site, since the height of the stems reaches 2.5 m.

   Echinacea with rudbeckia(golden balls). Their inflorescences are in perfect harmony with other plants. They are already starting to turn green early spring, easily enduring wintering. Rudbeckia needs to be monitored so that it does not overgrow the entire garden, since this flower has weedy habits.

   The ideal solution for any garden are perennial plants 30-80 cm high, and looking at the photo, you can figure out which species will suit a particular area.

   Irises will decorate any garden.

   Peonies will be a real decoration of the garden, adding elegance to the area. Spectacular double inflorescences are painted in tones from white to dark burgundy. In addition to tree peonies, there are also herbaceous peonies; under this name, plants for beginning gardeners are hidden. Herbaceous peonies begin to bloom on next year after planting, but this lasts much less than with tree-like ones. Peonies are quite demanding; only mineral fertilizers are suitable for them; in addition, it is necessary to provide abundant watering.

   One of the most popular and unpretentious flowers can be considered garden chamomile, which looks good in any flower bed. It has a long flowering period, requiring moderate watering and the most simple fertilizers. Among the varieties of garden chamomile you can find the following names: cornflower, pyrethrum. They differ primarily in the color and size of the inflorescences.

   Perennial asters (not to be confused with annual asters, which belong to the same family) will cause little trouble for gardeners. They bloom until the first frost, depending on the species. Flowers can be different shades: pink, lilac, yellow and blue tones. Asters are demanding of soil and fertilizers; they prefer organic ones.

   No beautiful garden would be complete without phlox. These are curvy colorful plants They are easy to care for and behave like weeds, so it is important to monitor their growth. Phloxes have no special requirements for lighting; it is recommended to replant them once every 6 years.
