What qualities should a tapeworm plant have. Tapeworm and group plantings. Deciduous plants for tapeworm

One of the elements garden design are single plantings or tapeworms. In such cases, only one plant is planted on a green lawn. Any plant can be used as a tapeworm. It could be perennial flower plant, an ornamental shrub or even an annual ornamental plant. Such landings are very effective. But in order to achieve an extraordinary effect, an excellent taste of the author of the composition is required. It is much easier to arrange group landings.

In a solitaire, everything should be beautiful

When a solitary plant breaks the monotony of a green lawn, it involuntarily attracts special attention from the audience. Therefore, the choice of plant must be taken very responsibly. As Anton Pavlovich Chekhov said about a person, that everything should be fine in him, the same can be said about a tapeworm plant. In the tapeworm, everything should please the eye - the shape of the bush, stems, leaves and flowers. In addition, the plant should not lose its decorative effect throughout the summer season.

Solitaire background

In order for the tapeworm to fully fulfill its function, its beauty alone is not enough. The lawn on which a single plant is going to be planted should also be well-groomed and beautiful. The background on which the tapeworm will grow should also be beautiful. A group of shrubs can act as a background; a group of fruit, deciduous or coniferous trees; wall of a building or solid high fence.

Plants for single plantings

For single landings The following plants are suitable:

Perennial herbaceous plants - irises, peonies, perennial lupine, foxglove, astilbe, perennial bush aster, aconite (wrestler), undersized view goldenrod, daylily (hemerocalis), diclitra (dycenter).

Shrubs and shrubs - heather, cochia, barberry, spirea, mahonia, hydrangea, canadian elder, roses, juniper.

Annual plants - castor bean, cleoma, amaranth (amaranth).

Group landings

The most common and easiest landing method flower crops- group landings. The group can include the most different plants: annual, perennial or biennial. Plantings from the same culture, or even from the same variety, look decorative.

Number of plants and planting density

The size of the lawn or lawn determines the number of plants to be planted. The distance between plants depends on the period for which they are planted, and on the type of crop.

When creating a color spot from annuals, such as: petunias, salvia, calendula, marigolds; or such perennials as: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, irises, lilies, phloxes - plants are placed closer to each other.

If the plant intended for planting in a group has nice shape bush, stems and leaves that are original in appearance or color, then they are planted less often, leaving more space between them. For example, plants such as: castor bean, perennial lupine, roses, peonies, astilba.

mixed groups

Spots of color are not necessarily created by plants of the same species. The group can be made up of, for example, three types, blooming in different periods.

So, among the peony bushes blooming in summer period, crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils or tulips can be planted, delighting with flowering in spring, and for autumn bloom colchicum has been added to the company.

Among various shrubs, which in the spring are just starting to release their leaves, great decoration there will be early blooming tulips, daffodils, crocuses, blueberries, forget-me-nots, primroses.

Perennial groups

Groups of single-grade peonies, multi-colored lupins, astilbe, diclitra, large-flowered aquilegia (catchment), lilies, and irises look nice.

Of the shrubs, plantings of hydrangea, Japanese quince, heather, mahonia are spectacular.

A beautiful tree or shrub in an open space looks as stunning as a single large diamond in a setting. Therefore, separately standing plant, it is a tapeworm - in landscape design reception though not new, but relevant. The role of the dominant component is suitable for both deciduous and conifers. Let's find out what parameters the tapeworm must meet in order to look perfect.

Single landings - living diamonds of landscape design

The French term solitaire means "large single diamond". This word quite accurately describes the main feature of the tapeworm. The plant itself looks great, doing without additions. Enough is preserved around the decorative element free space for an overview of living decoration.

Solitaire needs space! If the territorial resources of private or corporate ownership are limited, then small-sized plants are used.

The main features of the tapeworm:

• Solitary tree or shrub, herbaceous perennial or annual plant, planted separately on a trimmed lawn, a neat lawn.
• Correct or unusual shape crowns, showy leaves, beautiful flowers or inflorescences.
• The distance from a single plant to other shrubs, trees, flowers is two or three of its height.
• The size, shape, color of leaves, flowers are in harmony with the surrounding space.

Selecting conifers or deciduous trees to create a solitaire in regular garden or park, you should pay attention to the rocks that form a symmetrical crown (spherical, pyramidal, in the form of a column). To achieve the perfect shape, you can use trimming.

Garden and park in landscape style decorate trees and shrubs with a weeping or asymmetrical crown.

The method of formation of tapeworms provides for the following option: planting several plants on close range. If these are trees, then they grow together, form an unusual "fan" or "bouquet" of trunks. And several rose bushes of the same variety, planted next to each other, create a bright cheerful spot on the emerald green of the lawn.

The best candidates for the role of tapeworm

In the nomination "Best Leaf Solitaire" we see the largest number worthy contenders:

Cherry plum red-leaved or plum Pissardi . Looks impressive against the background of the lawn, coniferous trees. In the spring it is covered with a cloud of dark pink flowers, then purple leaves and red fruits appear. The color of the crown remains bright even in drought. The green chlorophyll of the leaves is "masked" by carotenoids and anthocyanins. The former are considered one of the best antioxidants, which explains the resistance of red-leaved plants to temperature extremes and diseases.

Catalpa bignoniform, Catalpa beautiful . Trees with a rounded crown, unusual large leaves. Inflorescences resemble white "candles" of horse chestnut. Long tube-shaped fruits persist throughout the winter. Catalpa looks like a true exotic, it grows slowly and does not take up much space.

Maple (false platanum, Canadian or sugar, other species). A popular ornamental deciduous tree valued for its beautiful crown, usually spherical or broadly conical. Large leaves in autumn delight with gold and crimson. Japanese, Shirasawa, palm-shaped or fan-shaped maples look especially impressive. These are shrubs or trees in purple, red, maroon and orange colors.

red leaf peach . It is hard not to notice the dark purple crown of this decorative form famous fruit plant. Hiding between oblong leaves small fruits. This is the case when the desire to admire the beauty outweighs the desire to taste the harvest.

Apple tree decorative . A low tree exported from Japan is called "Russian sakura". In spring, an oval or spherical crown is completely covered with light or dark pink buds; small fruits ripen in summer (in most varieties they are inedible). Forms with semi-double and double flowers have been developed.

Excellent material for creating a tapeworm:

• cultivars of pedunculate oak, rocky oak and other species with a neat crown;
• felted linden, small and large-leaved;
• willow white, purple, weeping;
• horse chestnut, etc.

Each of the above species has its own advantages, and ultimately, the landscape designer decides which one to prefer. In our online store, the site sells seedlings of most of these trees, and in addition, many of them can be bought in the form of large-sized trees, or you can order targeted growing in a nursery to a certain size, with subsequent delivery and planting in a permanent place.

Shrubs and perennial herbs for single plantings

Plants with large flowers- this is a garden rose, tree peony, Japanese kerria, rhododendron and azalea, shrub cinquefoil. They perfectly cope with the role of tapeworms. But most of the above flowering shrubs in Moscow and the Moscow region, it is necessary to create a shelter for the winter.

More hardy plants with spectacular inflorescences are weigela, mock orange, spirea, hydrangea, honeysuckle. Forsythia, cotoneaster, mahonia are often used in the form of tapeworms. For shrubs 1 m high, it is enough to leave free space with a radius of 2–3 m to the nearest group and single plantings.

Herbaceous perennials have no equal in terms of diversity architectural forms, but it is more difficult to form a tapeworm from them. Beautifully flowering herbs delight the eye for only a few months, then lose decorative look. Hosta, yucca, and other long-lived leafy plants are more reliable in this regard.

evergreen tapeworms

Prickly spruce . The blue beauty above 5 m feels more comfortable in the park. Dwarf forms with a spherical, narrow or wide conical crown, there is a place on the lawn next to the house, in small garden. In the open, a slender Serbian spruce is good. If an adult conifer is already growing on the site (for example, an ordinary spruce near Moscow), you are lucky - you can not look for other options.

Thuja western . Highly ornamental shrub or tree. A large number of varieties have been created, there are variegated and dwarf forms.

Scotch pine . In good light at a young age forms a beautiful cone-shaped crown. In our catalog you can see the photo dwarf pines, which will become a true decoration of the park, the area in front of the building and the back patio.

Single landings are an important compositional accent in landscape design. When creating a tapeworm, the rule applies: the larger the stand-alone plant, the farther from it should be the viewing platform. For large tree a clearing or edge with a diameter of up to 100 m is required, but such spaces are the privilege of large parks. The best option for household plots, summer cottages And country cottages- use dwarf forms, medium and low-growing trees and shrubs, herbs.

Solitary plantings are single plantings of plants of high decorative value. Their task is to become accents in garden compositions. The role of tapeworms can be trees, shrubs and flowering plants. Consider which flowers are best used as tapeworms.

First of all, it is necessary to select plants that retain their decorative qualities(bright and large buds, foliage of an interesting shape, etc.), and also fully comply with climatic conditions resistant to diseases and adverse environmental conditions.

An ideal background for solitary plantings is a well-groomed lawn. You can learn more about lawns from articles and.

As tapeworms planted as perennials flowering plants(miscanthus, peonies, irises, delphiniums, daylilies, roses, yucca, ornamental sunflower, hostas, etc.), and annuals (under conditions middle lane Russia - amaranth, forest tobacco, castor oil, etc.)

Daylilies have different colors of flowers (yellow, red, purple, purple, blue, lilac) and leaves, bloom for a long time. You can pick up unpretentious, shade-loving, fragrant varieties. Daylilies can decorate the facade of the house, ponds, space next to small architectural forms.

For solitary plantings, you can plant from 1 to 3 geranium bushes 50-80 cm high with decorative foliage And lush flowering. Plants look good against the background of ground cover plants, rubble, pebbles. Among the varieties we recommend small-stamen geranium, Georgian and flat-petal, blood-red.

Lilies are well suited for single plantings due to their height from 50 cm to 2 m. lung conditions shading. Varieties Aelita, Olga, Ryabinka, Nochka, Cherry and others are unpretentious, winter in open field without shelter.

Roses are one of the most attractive plants. It is better to use tall park ones - for spacious gardens; floribunda, hybrid tea - for small areas. For example, Pink Parfait, a floribunda variety with pink or cream flowers, with light pruning, is suitable as a tapeworm. To decorate lawns, you can also recommend varieties Rozarium Uetersen, Leverkusen, Ramira, Harlekin will decorate lawns. Light varieties of roses look good on a dark green background of trees. Standard roses look the most advantageous: semi-standard, low-standard and weeping.

Among irises, it is better to prefer Siberian ones, in particular, the High Standard variety. Garden decoration will become and tall bearded irises However, their cultivation requires special skill.

Solitary peonies are beautiful in any landscape due to the variety of colors and shapes. The flowering period of terry peonies is longer, so it is better to prefer them. fragrant plants with a diameter of flowers up to 18 cm are able to compete even with roses. According to the shape of the flower, terry peonies are divided into hemispherical, crown-shaped and pink-shaped.

architectural plants

Architectural plants is a term not related to botany. British landscape designers proposed to use this term to refer to strong plants with an interesting habit, little subject to seasonal changes. Due to their durability, these plants, planted as tapeworms, can play the role of small architectural forms in the garden space.

IN Northwest region architectural plants include umbrella plants (hogweed, angelica, fennel), hairweed, grasses (feather grass, cortaderia), mallow, butterbur, etc.

Mallow (mallow) is ideal as a tapeworm. The stems of the hybrid mallow reach a height of 2 m, the flowers are large, terry, different colors: pink, red white. Blooms from early summer until autumn. Before the appearance of the first flowers, the plant goes through a period of development, which lasts about 4 months.

Cortaderia is one of the most beautiful perennial grasses. Plants 2.5-3 m high have curving long leaves and straight thin peduncles. Cortaderia inflorescences will delight you all autumn and winter.

Hemispherical hosta bush will undoubtedly decorate the lawn correct form, garden path. These plants are famous beautiful coloration foliage. Depending on the variety, it can be dark green, golden, blue, variegated (with a border or veins). Popular varieties: Patriot, Sun Power, June, Whirlwind, Inniswood and others.

The villi differ in the original structure of the inflorescence: many small and inconspicuous tubular flowers seem to “run up” in a spiral from the bottom up. Flowering plants occur "wave-like". Vulture sowing in adulthood is a plant 2 m high with a strong branched stem. The plant has an unusual appearance: large capitate lilac inflorescences are surrounded by long needle-like bracts.

eryngium - perennial herbaceous plant up to 1 m high with stems branched at the top and small blue flowers. It has hard leaves, beautiful in shape. Flowering occurs in the second year and lasts all summer.

All these large and tall plants beautiful in their own right, so they are often used as tapeworms.

Single plantings (tapeworms) in garden design.

Solitaire is called popular today design technique, often used in the improvement and landscaping of private parks and properties.

Translated from Latin, "tapeworm" means "lonely" and, applying this word to gardening, it turns out - solitary beautiful tree, shrub or other plant. IN landscape arrangement plot, such a plant is made the center of the whole composition, where absolutely any culture adapted to the zone of future cultivation can act as a tapeworm.

It is beautiful in itself and does not need to be supplemented. Solitaires only need a background. They can be bobbed green lawn or a zone mulched around the plant. sprinkled with peat, wood waste or the bark of the earth under solitary plants emphasizes their beauty. Thus, single plants are planted most often on the lawn.
Their decorative effect can be emphasized by a border made of a stone of a well-chosen color or a combination of them, the clarity of the lines of low plants or visual “attraction” with the help of other plants. It may also be separate decorative elements tree or shrub, located in an open space or against the backdrop of an array.

Since the emphasis is on the plant, it should not lose its qualities even in winter, and since everything beautiful needs a beautiful and worthy frame, it must be created. As such, a perfectly tidy lawn with an uneven or, conversely, a regular edge can serve.

When placing tapeworms, it must be remembered that between them and the viewpoint there should be a distance equal to two to three plant heights. If the distance to the plant is made greater, then it will be impossible to consider decorative leaves or flowers. With a smaller distance, the plant will appear large and its decorative effect will decrease.

For tapeworms, plants with unusual flowers and leaves, spectacular fruits, with original form crown or bush. In this case, the plant should be large enough. It should retain its decorative effect throughout spring, summer and autumn. IN best case it will be decorative in winter.

Tapeworms are, as a rule, perennial plants.

Solitaires are primarily trees. Solitary fir trees, maples with a crown in the shape of a ball, oaks, ornamental apple trees, etc. are spectacular. These trees can be planted in the middle of a lawn, at the entrance to a building or near a bend in the path. To see the beauty of these trees, you need large space. It is only found in parks and squares. IN large gardens and parks, classic solitary plants are horse chestnut, linden, Norway spruce, and blue spruce.

In small gardens, shrubs are usually used as tapeworms. For this, standard roses, thuja, goat willow or acacia Lorberg.

Another favorite plant of many gardeners is lilac. A lone lilac bush in the garden is a real decoration. In the open, it grows and blooms magnificently. If you plant a lilac bush at a distance from other plants, then it will only become more attractive and will dominate the landscape of the site. If you plant flowers at the foot of the lilac, then it will lose all its attractiveness.

Hydrangea paniculata is suitable for the role of a tapeworm. She looks like a king on a green lawn. This is the best place for her. At abundant flowering hydrangea creates bright accent in the landscape of the site and at the same time does not overload the space.

A landscape style garden tapeworm should look natural. Therefore, it is advisable to select bushes that do not require pruning. And if you still have to cut a tree, then you need to take into account the natural shape of its crown. After all, for example, a solitary apple tree can be not only a decoration of the site, but also give a good harvest.

In the old days, special techniques were used to create tapeworms. Several trees were planted close to each other in the park. Growing up, they grew together and formed a common trunk above the ground, which diverged higher. It looked like a bouquet of trees. Similarly, arches and tripods were created from trees. Only the trees were spliced ​​not at the bottom, but at the top. Now such techniques for decorating parks are rarely used.

Not only trees and bushes can act as tapeworms, but also summer flowers, for example, rose bushes, shrubs, tall grasses. Any elegant, whimsical or bright plant can claim to be a tapeworm, even grass unusual color or shade. The main thing is the presence of free space around the tapeworm, which will highlight and emphasize its unusualness and reduce competition.

By the way, about competition. She shouldn't be. Another beautiful or bright plant next to the tapeworm turns it into part of the flower bed. Impact single plant and it is beautiful that it is one, in itself. It is possible to appreciate a plant in all its glory only when nothing distracts from it, and it does not dissolve in anything. This is the basic principle of any tapeworm. Keep this in mind when defining the concept of the garden.

IMPORTANT DETAILS IN CREATING SOLITERS

One of the most important details tapeworm is its correspondence to the size of the house and the occupied site. A large tree can shade a nearby flower garden or the house itself, while looking oversized. How larger plant, the further it should be from the point of contemplation and vice versa - the smaller the bush or its leaves, which are property, the closer to the paths should be planted.

Solitary plants with large leaves or bright colors are best planted against the backdrop of building facades, eurofences or decorative fences, a little away from the paths, so that you can appreciate their splendor from the outside.

In an adult state, the height of the tapeworm and the width of the clearing should have a ratio of 1 to 3. Parks, squares and boulevards most often have such a space. big trees. Therefore, on household plots it is only possible to use shrubs and undersized bushes imitating a small tree.

planting deciduous plant, think in advance about how it will look in autumn and winter, without leaves, powdered with snow.

If you are working with free space on which there is no need for the plant to fight for sunlight, you are very lucky, as the tapeworm will be able to show itself in all its glory. But on appearance other factors also influence: planting site, soil characteristics, plant type.

Columns, a pool or a boulder will help to enhance the effect of the plant, which will shade the unusual shape or bright color. That is why tapeworms can often be seen against the background of fences and gates. They also cover the corners of the house or defects in buildings that the owners do not want to flaunt.

Near the house it is better to plant deciduous trees, which in winter time miss more light into the house, while in the summer they give shade and coolness. coniferous trees it is better to decorate fences or blank walls.

Lawns and lawns will perfectly complement and decorate: birch, ornamental apple tree, beech, larch, maple, cherry, magnolia, mountain ash and other trees. The most popular shrubs in the form of tapeworms are recognized: barberry, dogwood, lilac, hazel, hydrangea, viburnum, etc. At the same time, when choosing a shrub, one must take into account the size to which it will grow. Perennials and herbs also have wide choose architectural forms that buzilnik, peony, hogweed, iris, decorative sunflower, rose, yucca, phlox, etc. can boast of.

Beautiful flower beds and flower gardens

USAGE OPTIONS
In landscape compositions, the plant can be used as:
◾ the main element, the task of which is to focus attention;
◾accent;
◾separation of space;
◾ an element to enhance the decorative effect of the main element of the composition.

In gardens made in regular style, plants with the correct symmetrical shape of the crown are used, planted along the main axis of the layout. To enhance the effect, it is cut and attached to the crown. geometric shape in the form of a sphere, column or pyramid. At landscape style garden crown shape can remain natural.

To decorate the entrance to the house or the facade of the building, to make it more solemn helps a few ornamental trees, shrubs or flower arrangements, which would clearly stand out against the general background, giving the picture splendor. Such plants can be weeping willows, purple-leaved cherry plums, silver spruces or catalpas.

Decorate the garden and old trees in the form of oak, ash, maple or linden, if any are preserved near the house. Do not rush to cut down such a tree - beat it and make it a highlight, because breaking is not building.

Used sources.

Tapeworm- translated from Latin means "lonely." This is the name of a single plant. From flower crops as solitaires commonly used types from spring to autumn: plants with large, showy flowers or with small flowers, but collected in dense inflorescences, as well as species with the original shape or color of the leaves, or with beautiful stems and fruits.

In any case, the plants that are used for such flower beds should be bright and unusual. Their role is to arrange . As a rule, they are located in open places, at a sufficient distance from other landings. At the same time, for their effective perception, the distance from the viewpoint to the plant should be at least two to three heights of the plant itself.

When placing tapeworms remember: species with small foliage, with an exotic form of flowers, as well as varieties with dark flowers are planted closer to the viewing point, and, conversely, plants with large leaf blades, large and bright flowers or inflorescences can be placed further - they are clearly visible from a distance.

Suitable location for tapeworm- near , near the front staircase, near or freely - on the lawn, at the turn of the path.
Sometimes to achieve high decorative effect several plants of the same type are planted side by side. But all plants must certainly be healthy, as well as densely, evenly leafy, and, most importantly, have an interesting and original shape.

Flower and leaf coloring specimen plants must be in harmony with the correctly chosen ambient background, which, in turn, is subject to a number of strict requirements. This is either a perfectly manicured lawn, or an array of shrubs, or . Plants of the last two options should be without dry or broken branches and well formed, have a healthy appearance. The wall of the building can also serve as a background.

For example, a solitary can be several planted next to each other and creating a single color spot. Taking into account the fact that the plant should be in a prominent, well-lit place throughout the day, light-loving plants are most often used as tapeworms.

Often largeherbaceous plants(cultural dahlia, hybrid delphinium, canna, tree and Chinese peonies,).

good options there will be perennial bush aster, amaranth ( tall varieties), astilbe (David, Arends, Thunberg), volzhanka, gelenium, hemerocalis, elecampane tall, magnificent dicentra, irises, broad-leaved bell, mullein, lilies, lupine, Macleia, monarda, rhubarb, scattered rudbeckia, panicled phlox (tall varieties),eremurus (Himalayan, Olga, powerful, Etchison), ash tree.

Also good for this purpose are long-flowering, beautiful from all vantage points. . From aconite (giant varieties), kohiya, or, as it is also called, summer cypress, castor bean, ornamental cabbage, sunflower, and frombiennials- mallow (stock-rose), foxglove.

Excellent solo : wild grapes, hops, honeysuckle, morning glory, clematis.

Recently, carefully shaped . If a bush is selected as a tapeworm, it is necessary on time (starting from young age) to carry out pruning, form a crown, maintaining its high decorative effect.It can be both decorative and deciduous(barberry, euonymus, hawthorn, elderberry small-leaved Canadian linden, mahonia, boxwood), and (hydrangea, cinquefoil, rose, lilac, spirea). And, of course, you can't ignore - many of them have a natural interesting shape, if they are allowed to grow freely, and also easily tolerate a haircut (gray spruce, cypress, arborvitae).
