Summer always flies by, but I want to extend it a little. We have selected the most spectacular plants for your site that will delight you until late autumn!
ONEYEARS
ASTERS
One of the most popular and unpretentious autumn flowers that can be found in almost any garden in autumn.
Growing them is easy. Plants are photophilous and undemanding to the soil - any well-drained garden soil in a place protected from the wind is suitable for them. But there is one subtlety - asters do not like acidic soils and stagnant water. They also cannot stand the introduction of fresh manure.
Asters can be sown before winter, before the onset of a steady cold snap. Shoots of soil asters are not afraid of low temperatures, they are resistant to lack of moisture and Fusarium.
DECORATIVE CABBAGE
Cabbage can be taken with you to a city apartment by allocating a place for it on the balcony. Without disturbing the clod of earth, dig the plant out of the ground and transplant it into a large pot. She will delight you until the first severe frosts.
MARIAGES (TAGETES)
PERENNIUMS
CHRYSANTHEMS
You can plant young chrysanthemums in the ground only until mid-September. Of course, it is convenient to buy them in the fall, when the bushes are sold immediately with flowers, but plants planted in a new place often do not have time to take root and may freeze. You can save a bush bought in the fall if you overexpose the plant until spring. Plant it in a pot and cut it low. Then put the pot with the plant in a dark place where the temperature will remain within 4-6 ° C until spring. During the winter, water the soil moderately, and at the end of February, expose the chrysanthemum to the light and begin to water abundantly. You can plant the plant in open ground when the threat of spring frosts has passed.
KOLHIKUM (TIMELESS)
These crocus-like flowers will give autumn an extra reason to rejoice. Plants are unusual in that they bloom in early autumn, when everything around withers. In the care of these bulbous unpretentious. Planted in nutritious, well-drained soil, they can grow for several years without transplanting. Plant them in the front of your flower garden or anywhere near your home so that even the rainiest of autumns will not miss their delicate and unexpected flowering.
PHYSALIS
Not the most popular plant in our flower beds. Due to their free nature and features, you will not find “Chinese lanterns” in a designer flower garden to grow strongly. But, if you select a piece of land under the physalis, in the fall this area will light up with saturated orange lights. Physalis care can be kept to a minimum: cut flower shoots in autumn or early spring and prevent the pretty aggressor from seizing new territory.
PERENNIAL ASTERS
They are also called patrons, septembers, oktyabrinks. They are both tall and short. Some varieties of asters tend to grow strongly, lose their clear rounded planting shape, and the center of the curtain is exposed. Such asters require a transplant every 3 years. Tall asters require tying. The most unpretentious and stable, giving slender bushes and not requiring supports, are New England asters.
SEDONE VISIBLE
It retains its decorative effect even after the snow falls and frosts pass. Stonecrop is unpretentious, grows both in the light and in partial shade, grows rapidly and develops well in one place without transplanting for many years, requiring almost no watering. Stonecrop care consists only in cutting off faded shoots in late autumn, after flowering has ended. They should be cut to the ground, and the remaining outlet should be mulched with garden compost for the winter.
The plant is easily propagated by stem cuttings throughout the growing season. To do this, it is enough to separate part of the stem and, having landed in the ground, monitor the moisture content of the soil. Even small cuttings of shoots take root without difficulty
DAHALIANS AND GLADIOLUS
Need special care and require annual digging for the winter with subsequent storage. But without these flowers, the autumn garden will not be so beautiful. Dahlias look great both in a flower garden, a discount, and in a single planting. Gladiolus, on the other hand, is best planted separately, because these demanding flowers need special care. In order for gladioli to grow even, slender, with lush flowers, it is important to follow the planting pattern (50 cm distance between rows, 25 cm distance between plants), as well as tie up, regularly feed and treat plants from pests.
TREE SPECIES
BUBBLE
When many plants lose their form and shape after flowering, shrubs and woody plants save the day. A wonderful and unpretentious purple or golden vesicle keeps foliage for a long time even after frost. In late autumn, the “boxes” of the vesicle, powdered with snow, look very unusual and decorative.
BARBERRY THUNBERGA
Its different shapes and colors of leaves in the autumn is also pleasing to the eye. When choosing a place to plant a barberry, give preference to a well-lit area. Plants with variegated leaves lose color when planted in the shade. Barberry is drought-resistant and does not tolerate stagnant moisture. Annual removal of weak, poorly developed shoots stimulates the emergence of new strong shoots. The first 2-3 years Thunberg's barberry is covered for the winter (with a dry leaf or peat).
