forsythia- in the middle lane, unfortunately, this beautiful shrub, is not common. Mostly, it is grown in Europe and Asia. Those gardeners who already have forsythia in their plots, in the middle lane, I recommend growing it. Among other shrubs, forsythia blooms first, already in mid-April. Continues to bloom for 25 days. In autumn, the shrub again continues to decorate the garden with its leaves, which turn purple.

There are varieties of forsythia.

1. European - grows mainly in the southern regions. The climate is humid and warm. Dry summer is very well tolerated. Height can reach two meters.
2. Giralda - the middle strip is well suited for this species. Blooms for almost a month. Grows up to 3 meters in height. It can be propagated by cuttings, both summer and winter.
3. Oval - can be grown in the suburbs. Tolerates frost well, can do without shelter. It grows not very high - 1.5 meters in height.
4. Curly - the climate of Moscow and St. Petersburg is ideal for this variety. Shelter for the winter, preferably. Blossoms, curly, within three weeks. Flowers are collected in a bunch of 6 pieces.
5. Siebold is the most frost-resistant variety. Can be planted in shady places which, this shrub tolerates well. The flowers have a dark yellow tint.
6. Linwood - flowering lasts two months, in April and May. It grows straight and reaches a height of three meters. For cultivation in areas with cold winter, suitable medium yellow Linwood.

landing

If you decide to plant forsythia, keep in mind that it does not like acidic soils. In this case, the soil needs to be deoxidized. For this purpose, wood ash is suitable. Choose a sunny place, but it will also grow in the shade. By planting forsythia next to conifers, you will win in terms of design, as yellow flowers against the background of conifers will look great. Planting can be done in the fall (but don't wait until frost) or in the spring. When planting in autumn, it is necessary to mulch the soil around the shrub and provide it with shelter. Choose a material for shelter that is breathable, for example, agrospan. Planted in such a way that the root collar was at a depth of at least 30 cm. Dig a hole, 50X50X60 in size. When planting several shrubs, the distance between them should be at least one and a half meters. A drainage layer (expanded clay, broken brick) is placed in the pit - 15 cm, then sand is poured - 10 cm, after that - sheet earth, sand, peat (2: 1: 1) and evil 200 grams.

care

Forsythia care is quite simple and does not differ much from the general rules for caring for any other shrubs. AT rainy summer, or in the summer, with periodic rains, it is not necessary to water it. Well, if the weather does not indulge in rain and almost the entire season is drought - one bucket of water (10 liters). When the shrub is watered, you need to remove the weeds around, loosen the soil (for air to enter the roots) and mulch with dry earth. Feed three times per season. For the first time, in early spring, rotted cow manure is laid out around the shrub, which then needs to be watered. The second time - in April, with mineral fertilizer (60 grams per square meter). And the last time when it blooms - fertilizer "Kemira - station wagon".

When caring for forsythia, it must be cut off. In the spring, branches that are frozen, as well as dry, are cut. After flowering, the branches are cut to half the length. Branches that are at a height of 6 cm from the ground are cut off completely so that young shoots subsequently grow from them. With trimming, you can give the shape of a ball or bowl.

Young plants are subjected only to sanitary pruning. Frozen and dry branches are pruned.

Forsythia is very rarely attacked by pests and diseases. One of the diseases that a shrub can undergo is wilting. In this case, fundazol (2% -5%) will help. With bacteriosis, the plant will have to be completely dug up. Moniliosis - the appearance of spots on the leaves, Brown. With this disease, diseased branches and leaves are cut out. Nematode - we disinfect the soil with carbation.

wintering

If the winter turned out to be snowy, the shrub will safely survive the frost. But, since we can't know what kind of winter it will be, it's better to make a shelter. On the near-stem circle we pour dry foliage with a ten centimeter layer. The branches are tilted to the ground and fixed, covered with spruce branches from above. In the spring, we remove the foliage and spruce branches.

The shrub blooms in spring with white flowers:

In addition, there are many varieties. If you want to plant this beautiful shrub, ask stores and garden centers what species will take root and grow safely in your area.

landing

For planting mock orange, choose a sunny and bright place. In the shade, it grows very poorly, and the flowers are small. In terms of planting, it is best to plant from the second decade of September to the third decade of October. If planting in the spring, be sure to plant before the buds begin to swell. Pit, size, 50X50X50, it is desirable to prepare in advance. Drainage is placed at the bottom (broken brick is possible). The drainage layer must be at least 10 cm. Soil is poured onto the drainage. The composition of the soil is humus, leafy earth and sand in such a proportion; 1:3:2. After a week, the soil will settle and you can plant a shrub. We plant it so that the neck of the root is at the level of the soil. Then, the seedling, we fall asleep with fertile soil. After planting, it is necessary to pour 2-3 buckets of water. When the soil settles a little, add dry earth to the trunk circle. The root neck, when planting, may deepen. Make sure that the recess is no more than 3 cm, otherwise rotting will occur. After a couple of days, mulch the soil around the shrub with peat.

care

It is necessary to water the mock orange in the absence summer rains, two buckets of water. To understand that the shrub needs watering, you can by drooping leaves. Around the trunk circle, mulching is necessary, as it plays an important role, in this case, weeds rarely grow. Weeding necessary condition in shrub care. Feeding is, of course, necessary. When the mock orange has faded, scatter wood ash around the shrub, after which, water well. After the fourth year of life, we begin a complex of dressings. We take 30 grams of superphosphate, 15 grams of urea and 15 grams of potassium sulfate. This amount is enough for two bushes. We introduce nitrogen in the spring, to increase the green mass. When the shrub has faded, the following fertilizers are recommended - potassium sulfate 15 grams and superphosphate 25 grams. We replace potassium with ash 150 grams.

Pruning plays an important role for abundant flowering. Pruning should be done in the fall, leaving stronger shoots. Cut branches dry and young shoots that thicken the crown. It is necessary to monitor the young shoots, which become powerful, as they form abundant flowering in next year. Do anti-aging pruning, shorten shoots that are older than 10 years. This should be done in early spring.

Pests rarely infect mock orange. Among them are leaf weevil, aphids and spider mites. You can get rid of aphids with Karbofos. From a spider mite, an emulsion of Keltan will help. Chlorophos fights the weevil. Handle according to instructions.

Mock-orange propagates by seeds and layering. Young branches need to be bent to the ground and sprinkled with earth. When the layering takes root, in the spring it is separated from the mother plant and planted as an independent one. You can also divide the bush in the fall and plant it. This is in case of overgrowth.

wintering

Mock orange winters well in regions with cold winters. Before wintering, the shrub is subjected to sanitary pruning, the soil is mulched around the trunk. Fertilize with phosphorus and potassium. if after the winter you find frozen branches, they need to be removed. Chubushnik well lets young shoots.

landing

If you are going to plant almonds, choose a well-lit place in the sun, closed from drafts. Almonds prefer light, loamy soil (pH 7.5 - 7.7). Places with a high occurrence of groundwater are not suitable for him. You need to plant seedlings that have reached three years. The pit for this shrub should be 0.5 meters deep. First, drainage is placed at the bottom, then a mixture of leafy soil, sand and humus. The proportions are: 3:2:1. Lime (200 grams) is added to each hole. After planting, it is necessary to water abundantly.

care

You need to water the almonds carefully, around the trunk and avoid getting on the crown (risk of moniliosis). A couple of days after watering, the ground, under the almonds, is loosened and all weeds are removed. Top dressing is needed for almonds after flowering, compost or humus. Then, feed with nitrogen - 10 grams per bucket of water. In autumn, it is also good to feed with double superphosphate, in an amount of 50 grams.

Pruning is done both sanitary and decorative. Branches, aged 3-5 years, must be cut out. Branches dry and touched by frost are subject to pruning. In order for the shrub to take the form of a ball, with a diameter of one meter, crown formation must be carried out starting at the age of two. This is especially true for the stamp.

The main disease is moniliosis. This is a fungus that affects mainly stone fruits. The fungus penetrates the inside of the flower, and then the wood. After a short time, the bush looks burnt. It will help in the fight against the disease, fundazol (10 grams per bucket of water). Spray with a solution at the beginning of flowering and again when all the flowers have opened. You can also fight this disease with pruning. All affected branches are removed to the second kidney.

Another problem is freezing of the kidneys. To avoid this, at the end of August, it is necessary to pinch the regrown shoots.

wintering

Almond winters well. Frosts, no more than 25 degrees, are not afraid of him. But for him, even snow is better and frosty winter than temperature fluctuations. Today, this shrub is cultivated even in Siberia.

Of course, there are many more shrubs that cannot be ignored.

Spirea has many species (about 90) and varieties. A variety of shades and different flowering times can decorate the garden throughout the spring-summer season. Spireas are divided into two groups - spring flowering and summer blooms. Spirea spring blooms on last year's shoots, white flowers. In summer-flowering, the color of the flowers is red, raspberry or pink. Spring bloomers should be pruned after flowering. Spirea, the plant is not demanding on the soil. Grows well in full sun. You can propagate it by dividing the bush, as well as layering (bend the branches, fix them and sprinkle with earth). Here are a few types:

Weigela. Unfortunately, in our gardens, to meet this shrub is a rarity. Although the shrub is very beautiful with a varied palette of colors. Weigela belongs to the Honeysuckle family. Weigela blooms twice a season. The first begins in May and lasts about a month. The second flowering of weigela is at the end of summer, but it does not differ in pomp. Weigela flowers look like a bell. Plant weigela in the ground in the spring, when the buds are not yet swollen, but the earth has warmed up. At autumn planting, young plant may not survive the frost and die. Place for landing, it is best to choose on a hill, but without drafts. The soil is loamy or clayey, slightly alkaline. A hole, for a weigela seedling, is dripped, 40 cm deep. Drainage is placed at the bottom in the form of brick, expanded clay or gravel, with a layer of 15 cm. Soil is poured on top, which is rich in humus. If you have several shrubs or want to make decorative wall, the distance between seedlings should be at least 1.5 meters.

By adding to the soil, when planting weigels, nitrophoska and compost, you will provide a shrub nutrients for two years.

Two years after planting, they begin to feed, which consist of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. You can use any mineral fertilizer. The first top dressing - in early spring, the second - in the first days of summer (phosphorus and potash fertilizers). And the last, third time, during the season, they feed with ash - 200 grams per 1 square meter.

Pruning is done sanitary and forming. But it should be remembered that the second time, weigela blooms on the shoots of last year, therefore, if you did not have time to pruning during pruning, it is better to postpone pruning for a year. By cutting off young branches, you will not see re-flowering.

Weigela can be affected by pests. Processing can be done with pesticides, observing precautionary measures. Of the diseases - spotting, rust and gray rot. Treat with Bordeaux liquid for prevention and if you notice signs of illness.

Blooming all summer shrubs are a great way to decorate your garden plot. You can combine different types and varieties to turn your garden into a true work of art. Flowering shrubs not only visually change the shape of the site, but also create a sense of celebration with their flowering, make the color palette of the flora much richer. They look great on lawns and next to the terrace, on the far borders of the site and near the gate.

A customer survey was conducted at a garden center. To the question: "What spring shrubs do you have in your garden?" Most gardeners called only lilac. This is a universal favorite, and probably not a single plot can do without it. Surprisingly, many people believe that lilac is the very first shrub that blooms in spring. In their opinion, others bloom later And they call a very meager assortment: mock orange ( garden jasmine), wild rose, hydrangea and Japanese spirea. Why little attention is paid to shrubs is understandable. They are quite voluminous, on six acres you can’t clear up much.

In addition, shrubs do not bloom for a very long time. And in the spring they come to the gardens only on weekends. So we save space for other crops that bloom longer and closer to summer. It's time to correct this injustice. Early shrubs can really only be seen for a few days in bloom. Nevertheless, they are the first to bring a feeling of spring, give a sip of good mood and charge with optimism.

Several times more beauty

A few words about the fact that shrubs compare favorably with primroses. Crocuses, galanthus, blueberries and other pretty little things are low plants. Admiring them, of course, is nice, but you need to look down. Or plant them in large arrays so that the flowers can be seen from afar.

If a shrub blooms, then it can be seen immediately. It fills the entire space with flowers, and it seems that there is several times more beauty. It is enough to look at him once a week to live on in high spirits.

Unpretentious and reliable

There is an opinion that early flowering shrubs are not for us: they are more thermophilic and can freeze slightly. Here is a list of plants that will not cause problems and will delight with flowers almost every year. Only in the harshest years can flower buds die. But in a year the plants will bloom again.

FELT CHERRY. Beautiful shrub up to two meters high. It blooms profusely with white flowers with a slight pink tint. Usually felt cherry is grown as a fruit crop and it is forgotten that this is an excellent ornamental plant. At the time of flowering, the tree is literally "doused with milk." And bright fruits ripen in summer. Cherries sit tightly on the branches and look no less decorative. Depending on the weather, the felt cherry blossoms on May 2-10. For comparison, lilac is only in the third decade of May.

BLACKTHORN. Also a fruit crop. Flowers are not only beautiful, but also fragrant. In recent years, blackthorn has ceased to be planted in the garden, replacing it with a noble plum. But unlike plums, it has higher winter hardiness and does not suffer from diseases.

GOLDEN CURRANT. Marvelous unpretentious shrub, which blooms with yellow fragrant flowers in spring. If you plant another variety nearby, you will also have berries. In taste, they are inferior to blackcurrant, but very pleasant. In autumn, the shrub stands out with bright leaves that have all shades of orange-red.

FORSYTHIA. Till rare shrub in our gardens. Many consider her a sissy. Buy forsythia ovoid and its varieties, it is more winter-hardy. For better development, plant it on sunny place. Optimally in front of a house or a fence, so that there is protection from the wind. AT young age shrub branches bend well. For reliability for the winter, put them under the snow. With age, the winter hardiness of the plant increases. Forsythia blooms incomparably, it is a fountain of sunny, bright yellow flowers. The buds bloom in early May, in a warm spring already in April.

STEPPE ALMOND (LOW ALMOND). Sometimes gardeners are frightened by the very name "almond". Certainly, for us it is something southern, thermophilic. As for the named species, it is absolutely reliable. More than once endured snowless frosts in December and at the same time bloomed perfectly. pink flowers are simply incomparable. At the peak of flowering, the plants are shrouded in a pink cloud. Anyone who has seen this will certainly want to plant almonds in their garden. We have more popular terry almonds, or three-lobed louiseania. But in terms of winter hardiness, it is inferior to steppe almonds. It blooms simultaneously with the felt cherry and is for her good pollinator. Plant this "sweet couple" in your garden and enjoy their double beauty.

SPIREA GRAY. Wonderful unpretentious shrub with a light crown. In summer, it is an excellent backdrop for any flowers. In spring, it blooms profusely with white small flowers collected in inflorescences. On the shoots, they are very dense, and the branches resemble the white jets of a fountain. For more lush flowering, gray spirea needs pruning. Immediately after flowering, the branches are shortened by 1/3. This causes the growth of side shoots, on which the shrub blooms the following spring.

RHODODENDRONS garden aristocrats. Few dare to plant them in the garden. And in vain. Care is no more difficult than for other shrubs. Pruning is practically not needed. The only requirement proper fit into acidic soil. Without this lush flowering you will not get. The pit is filled with a mixture of high-moor peat and coniferous forest litter (1: 1). Fertilizers for azaleas are applied in summer, they maintain the acidity of the soil. For early flowering, plant Daurian and Canadian rhododendrons.

RHODODENDRON CANADIAN. It blooms later than Daurian, but also earlier than lilac. The bush is not yet dressed with leaves, and the branches are almost invisible so many flowers. In size, they are inferior to the flowers of the Daurian rhododendron, which does not reduce the decorative effect of the bush. Airiness and lightness are given by long stamens, creating a feeling

pink cloud.

RHODODENDRON DAUR. Unique plant. It is he who is mistakenly called rosemary. It blooms very early, in mid-April early May. The leaves on the birches barely appeared, and he is already in full bloom. The pink flowers are quite large. A special charm is that they bloom on bare branches. A true symbol of spring!

So the list is set. This year, do not miss the opportunity to plant these early flowering shrubs in your garden. Together with them joy and spring will come in the soul.
