Decorative flowering shrub rhododendron (with photo)

Flowering ornamental shrub rhododendron is not afraid of frost, but he is afraid strong winds and dryness. It can "freeze" from strong winds in winter. That's why it needs to be tightly covered for the winter, so that the shelter is windproof.

Pay attention to the photo of this flowering ornamental shrub: around the rhododendron, a reinforcement structure is put up, lutrasil is thrown on, and polyethylene is placed on top. And all this is tightly tied from below so that the wind does not penetrate. In the spring, this shelter is removed as early as possible so that the rhododendron receives moisture. Throughout the season, it is watered abundantly and the leaves are moistened with a spray bottle or poured over from a watering can - this should be done every day. If the bush grows in the wind, it needs to make a curtain of plants or put up a garden partition. Rhododendron will not grow and flower in alkaline soil. And such soil basically exists in gardens, since most plants need this. Therefore, selectively, in the place where the rhododendron is planted, they change the soil to acidic soil, and then, so that it does not alkalize over time, the rhododendron is fertilized three times a year with a special fertilizer for rhododendrons and peat is added. That's when your rhododendron will delight you with lush flowering.

Flowering ornamental shrub for giving hydrangea

A flowering ornamental shrub for giving hydrangea has several types, in middle lane, basically, tree-like, paniculate and large-leaved hydrangeas are planted. Most often, paniculate and large-leaved hydrangeas are grown, and at the same time they are often confused. Their flowers are similar, and their own color is white.

Hydrangea paniculata - absolutely unpretentious shrub, guaranteed to bloom in full shade with lush caps of white flowers. In winter, non-lignified shoots freeze out, so they are pruned in the fall, but in spring the hydrangea quickly gives new shoots. But the inflorescences of this hydrangea cannot be painted. This can only be done with large-leaved hydrangea. If you want to receive pink flowers, water the hydrangea with a weak solution of potassium permanganate, and add ash, chalk, lime to the soil. If you want to receive blue flowers- acidify the soil with pine sawdust, add peat, water with a weak solution of ammonium sulfate or citric acid. To make the blue color brighter, you can use a special fertilizer for hydrangeas with aluminum.

Often in gardeners, it does not bloom for years. This is because it is not well covered. It blooms only on last year's shoots. And if they freeze, then there will be no flowers.

Almost all spireas are fast-growing, frost-resistant shrubs, unpretentious and profusely flowering. There are two groups of spireas - spring-flowering and summer-flowering. In spring-flowering species, such as ashen spirea, drooping branches are completely decorated with tiny white flowers. These spireas bloom once. In spring-flowering spireas, old and weak branches are cut out after flowering.

Summer flowering spireas are distinguished by long flowering. Pink ( different shades) flowers are usually collected in flat spherical or spike-shaped inflorescences. Of the summer-flowering spireas, Bumald's spirea (height 60 cm) is interesting, blooming with elegant, carmine-pink flat inflorescences.

Hydrangea arborescens, a shrub of North American origin, proved to be the most winter-hardy. Other species (originally from China and Japan) are less hardy, more capricious in care.

Tree hydrangea is common in our gardens, but for some reason everyone wants to see plants with blue, pink or even reddish inflorescences on their plots. Such hydrangeas, of course, are spectacular, but more capricious, although among them there are varieties that some flower growers successfully grow in the northern regions.

But if you have not yet grown hydrangea in the garden, start with tree hydrangea - easy to care for, showy shrub with huge caps of white flowers.

This plant can also be grown in pots. Of course, the size of the bush in this case will be much more modest.

Keria can also be grown on the balcony.

Weigela

In flowering, it is more beautiful than all the above listed shrubs. But to show her drooping branches in all its glory, she needs a lot of space. Loves fertile soil and annual pruning, but generally unpretentious. Immediately after flowering, branches with wilted flowers are shortened.

Weigela Variegata is more compact and restrained in growth - a bush up to 120 cm high with pale pink flowers and yellow-edged leaves.

Shrubs should be placed in accordance with their growth and ability to grow in breadth.

About the rules for trimming ornamental shrubs

All of the listed plants are not rare, they are quite easy to acquire.

If the aesthetic design of your garden is very important to you, then various ornamental shrubs will perfectly cope with this role. Any garden will only benefit from decorating with evergreen or deciduous shrubs.

Ornamental shrubs with their peculiar coloring or flowering can help you create a hedge, divide the garden into different zones, decorate the entrance to your garden or decorate various elements.

ornamental shrubs perform not only a decorative function, they also protect garden alleys from wind and dust, help you not only in the design of the garden, but also distract you from the usual fuss with their charming appearance and create a good mood.

Some varieties of ornamental shrubs have a long flowering period, others - unusual shape leaves or bright colors. It is not difficult to care for them - they are not susceptible to diseases, they are very rarely affected by pests.

Now let's talk about those shrubs that are widespread in central Russia.

If your garden has green lawns, luxurious hydrangea bushes will be a great addition to them. Popular with gardeners rose bush- especially beautiful park roses, they are frost-resistant, undemanding, they only bloom once in the whole season.

Some gardeners like to decorate their personal plots shrubs that, during flowering, are able to fill the garden with a pleasant aroma - mock oranges, forsythia, wolf.

Lush inflorescences of lilac and viburnum look very decorative. In our gardens, you can increasingly see bushes of rhododendrons or tree-like peonies.

Summer is the time for the flowering of cinquefoil and spirea, kolquitsia and buddley. Closer to autumn, heather flowers begin to bloom - medium-sized, but collected in such lush inflorescences, shimmering with mother-of-pearl, which simply cannot but arouse admiration.

Ornamental shrubs are convenient because they decorate the garden from early spring to late autumn. A striking example is different varieties barberry: their leaves can be bright yellow, and purple, bright green and purple, and even spotted.

Aralia bushes look original - this bush is prickly, it looks like a tropical palm tree. The fieldfare also looks amazing, its young foliage has an unusual pink tint, but little by little they become saturated. green color. In autumn, they turn yellow and acquire a golden hue.

If your site is spoiled by a dark, plain wall or a high, unattractive fence, we recommend that you decorate these structures with decorative deciduous white derain bushes. No one will be indifferent to its chic carved dark green leaves, bordered by a cream contour. Young shoots of derain have a reddish tint, which makes it appearance much more colorful.

A real decoration of your garden can be an chokeberry - in spring its bush is covered with fragrant inflorescences, in autumn - with black berries and leaves of a yellow-golden hue. The only negative is decorative deciduous shrubs is their high demand for temperature regime- bred by selection, these forms are less frost-resistant than their originals.

Viburnum is perfect for decorating your garden in a rustic style. In spring, viburnum will decorate your garden with flowering, and in autumn it will give you bunches of red useful berries. Viburnum buldenezh looks very nice. This decorative form does not produce fruits, but is distinguished by white large spherical inflorescences that will delight you in May-June.

Another representative of ornamental shrubs is the barberry. Among the large number of its species, the most common is the Thunberg barberry and the common barberry. This ornamental shrub form is interesting primarily for its foliage color. Barberry is widely used in the landscape in the design of lawns, to create hedges. Barberry tolerates a haircut well and easily acquires the necessary shape.

Rose hips are also widely used in gardens. Due to its variety of shades of flowers from snow-white to almost red, it copes well with the role of garden decoration. And its orange-red fruits are not only decorative, but also medicinal. When using wild rose in the garden, you need to monitor the growth, which forms very quickly.

Common hazel is also suitable for decorating a garden. Especially its varieties with brown foliage look great when creating a hedge. And in addition to beautiful foliage, hazel will delight you with tasty and healthy nuts.

Almost every garden has one or another type of fruit bushes: gooseberries, currants, raspberries. Currant looks beautiful during the ripening of berries, especially if varieties with different fruit colors are planted nearby - red, white, pink, black.

For decorating a garden berry bushes golden currant is perfect. This currant got its name because of its color of flowers. This shrub has an advantage over ordinary blackcurrant, because it is less often affected by pests.

Varietal raspberries or gooseberries make excellent hedges, which also delight their owners with delicious berries. Unfortunately, much less often, quince, chokeberry, irga, hawthorn are planted in gardens - after all, these shrubs look beautiful both during flowering and in autumn, when their leaves play with all shades of gold and purple. fruit bushes you need to be more careful than for ornamental shrubs, but the reward will be delicious fruits.

Wintergreen (lat. Pyrola)- genus herbaceous plants heather family. The genus includes 40 species. Popular names are winter-loving umbrella, black leaf, live grass, May grass, wild incense, firelighter or pear. The genus is circumpolar boreal. Representatives of the genus are found in nature in the temperate and arctic zones of the Northern Hemisphere. Only four species grow in Russia. Typical places are coniferous and deciduous forests.

Characteristics of culture

Wintergreen - perennial with a branched and long rhizome, from the nodes of which aerial stems and adventitious roots are formed. The stem of the plant is thinly ribbed, up to 30-40 cm high. The leaves are leathery, hard, glossy, rounded, oval or ovoid, crenate or entire, sitting on petioles, collected in a rosette.

Flowers drooping or rejected, collected in rare, straight brushes. Corolla white, fragrant, five-petalled, spherical or goblet. Petals thickened, concave, obtuse, rounded ovate. Pedicels are long, formed from the axils of the bracts. Wintergreen fruit is a drooping box.

The culture blooms in June-July, the fruits ripen in August-September, which largely depends on climatic conditions cultivation. Almost all representatives of the genus Grushanka are characterized by symbiosis with fungi, and this primarily concerns the early stages of culture development, because the seeds feed on mycorrhizae during germination.

Growing conditions

Wintergreens prefer shady areas with wet, loose, sandy and slightly acidic soil. The presence of fungal hyphae in the soil is mandatory, since plants are in symbiosis with fungi. Such soil can be brought to the site from the places of natural growth of wintergreen. To acidify the soil, you can use fallen leaves or peat. Layer listed natural materials laid as mulch in the stalk zone.

reproduction

Wintergreen is propagated by seeds and division. The second method is not always appropriate and feasible, since the culture has a negative attitude towards the separation of the root system. However, when favorable conditions growing delenki quickly take root.

Care

Care is standard: watering, loosening, weeding and top dressing. Although the latter procedure is optional. Mulching immediately after watering will keep the soil moist longer and weed free.

Application

Wintergreen is ideal for creating shady flower beds. Among the representatives, the most decorative is the view - Wintergreen round-leaved, during flowering, it pleases the eye with lush inflorescences, consisting of carved white flowers. Wide application the plant received folk medicine. Decoctions and infusions from the aerial parts of wintergreen are used in the treatment of headaches, inflammation of the bladder, kidney disease, as well as rheumatism and dropsy.

Wintergreen is used as an antipyretic and antibacterial agent. Rinsing the mouth with infusions of wintergreen leaves helps to get rid of bad smell from the mouth of other diseases (stomatitis, periodontal disease, etc.). Useful infusions for shortness of breath and severe overwork. The value of the herb in question is obvious, because it contains a large number of vitamins, minerals and flavonoids.

Planting roses

Where to plant roses?

If you are going to plant roses in your garden, you need to responsibly choose a planting site. A rose grows in one place for a very long time, like any tree or shrub, therefore, the place must be chosen for it, based on its requirements.

For the future rose garden, a garden plot with a slight slope to the south, protected from the north and northeast winds, is suitable. Ideally, in the first half of the day the roses will be completely illuminated by the rising morning sun, and in the afternoon they will be covered by lacy penumbra.

Rowan ordinary in the garden

Mountain ash(Sorbus aucuparia) - very beautiful tree, especially in single plantings. The alleys of mountain ash along the roads also make a great impression.

In total, there are 80 types of hydrangeas in the world, common in America and East Asia.

Polyanthus roses from seeds

Rose polyanthus(Rosa polyantha nana) short perennial shrub. Of course, nothing is easier than propagating a polyanthus rose with a cutting, and even in the summer, when you poke any stick into the ground and it will bloom, you say. I am also of this opinion. After all, a polyanthus rose is very easy to propagate by cuttings. And in the store, sorting through a box with bags of seeds, my eyes accidentally fell on a bag of seeds of this same polyanthus rose. A hurricane of thoughts flashed through my head from: come on, we already know, divorce; and before: what if there is a rose of such unprecedented beauty and color that I don’t have yet? Naturally, I did not miss this chance, and the bag safely moved into my bag.
