Criteria for the selection of shrubs for growing in the garden

Before planting in the garden perennials, you should familiarize yourself with which of them are suitable for growing in Bashkiria.

The main requirements that shrubs must meet:

• the ability to winter with minimal losses;
• drought resistance;
• wind resistance.

The climate of Bashkiria is distinguished by its stability. The main part of Bashkortostan is located in the southern part of the Urals, where the continental climate prevails. Winter is frosty, without sharp jumps and temperature changes. AT winter time thermometer readings are rarely below minus 20-22°C. Snow cover is sufficient to prevent freezing of the roots of perennial frost-resistant plants.

The temperature below zero is set at the end of October, and its increase begins in the first ten days of April. Return frosts are possible until mid-May, in rare cases they occur until the end of the month. When choosing shrubs, it is better to plant late flowering varieties so that frost does not spoil the beauty of plants during flowering.

In summer, there is little precipitation, so it is preferable to opt for plants that are not demanding on the irrigation regime. There is almost no heat in summer. The average temperature is 20-23°C.

Due to the proximity to the steppes of Kazakhstan and the Orenburg region, there are strong winds in summer. Shrubs with brittle shoots should not be planted.

Euonymus feels comfortable in partial shade, endures urban gas pollution. The substrate must be breathable, nutritious, neutral. Euonymus cannot stand stagnant moisture; after watering, the trunk circle is loosened and mulched. If the individual bushes well, a strong shortening of the branches is permissible. In summer, potash-phosphorus fertilizers are applied, and lime-fluff is used for autumn digging. New individuals are obtained by dividing the mother liquor, rooting cuttings or layering.

Doren

We will not return to the description of the dogwood, aka dogwood. One has only to mention that the largest number of variegated cultivars is inherent in white turf, the choice is truly huge.

Caring for variegated turf has a peculiarity. Experts recommend immediately cutting the stems with ordinary leaf blades. Otherwise, dechimerization will occur and the crown will lose its decorative effect, becoming an ordinary bush.

Vesicle viburnum

An incredibly beautiful representative of the flora has a bushy habit. Height 1.5-3 m, stems, covered with exfoliating brown bark, gracefully droop. The leaf blade, 3-4 cm long, is divided into 3-5 elliptical lobes with a serrated edge. Autumn dress is golden. White or pink flowers are collected in fluffy inflorescences, bloom in summer. The viburnum viburnum has a lot of variegated cultivars, for which it is highly valued by gardeners.

On a note! Big choice varieties of vesicle allows you to create harmonious groups, bright hedges, juicy spots on the lawn.

Unpretentious to growing conditions, propagated by cuttings, division of the mother liquor, resistant to gas pollution. Variegated hybrids need good lighting. The vesicle does not like moisture stagnation, it does not require special care.

Fieldfare rowanberry

Fieldfare has nothing to do with mountain ash, only the similarity of openwork foliage. In fieldfare, it is very large, pinnate, consisting of 9-12 pairs of leaves. The bush reaches a height of 3 meters, in the fall it blazes with scarlet fire. White corollas are collected in lush pyramidal panicles, last up to 30 days. Fieldfare grows very quickly, so the young shoots should be removed in a timely manner, as well as wilted panicles.

Needs moist, well-drained, organic-rich soil. Grows well near artificial reservoirs, tolerates partial shade. Ideal for protecting land from erosion, a valuable honey plant. Fieldfare is propagated by cuttings. When caring for him, remember that you need to water regularly, as well as replenish the supply of nutrients.

In addition, variegated varieties and garden forms of some plants are included in the group of decorative deciduous, i.e., the same culture can be attributed to different groups. For example, barberry belongs to fruit and decorative leafy species, juniper, action and other representatives also have varieties with creamy shades, which are considered to be decorative leafy. Boxwood is included in the group of evergreen garden dwellers.

Flowering shrubs for a summer residence

The most extensive group is considered to be flowering shrubs. Although most of them have a gentle character, you can pick up quite a lot of representatives for Central Russia, some still require minimal protection in case of a snowless winter.

On a note! It also happens that the main species has a low threshold of frost resistance, and individual hybrids or varieties may well grow in more severe conditions. Forsythia is thermophilic, but its sister oval forsythia winters well in the Moscow region.

Consider the main representatives of this group, used to decorate gardens, parks and cottages:

• acacia yellow;
• forsythia ovata;
• Potentilla (five leaf, Kuril tea);
• viburnum boule de tender

Acacia yellow

Karagana, yellow acacia, peas - a shrub-type plant 2-3 m tall. Leaves 5-8 cm long are compound, consist of 6-8 pairs of small oval leaves, sit on petioles of medium length. The flowers are large, yellow, collected in bunches of 2-5 pieces. The corolla is shaped like a perianth of a pea. Flowering falls at the beginning of summer, lasts several weeks, is distinguished by splendor, marvelous aroma. Buds attract bees that collect early healing honey. After withering, long beans are tied.

Know! All parts of acacia are used in traditional medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Wild-growing relatives are common in the Urals, Altai, and Siberia. The harsh climate hardened the acacia, made it incredibly hardy. Therefore, the Karagan will not require special care from the gardener. Plant an acacia in the sun in sandy-peat soil (3: 1), deepening the root neck by 2-3 cm. If necessary, lay drainage on the bottom of the hole. An amazing caragana in adulthood does not require top dressing, because it intensively enriches the soil with nitrogen, like its relatives from the legume family. Water moderately, but regularly, be sure to mulch the trunk circle.

Lilac

Lilac is the most frequent guest of parks and squares. This large deciduous shrub reaches a height of 2-8 m, and the trunks often thicken up to 15 cm. The trunk is covered with yellowish-brown fissured bark. The leaves are opposite, up to 10 cm long, oval with a pointed crown. They retain their shade until leaf fall, in the South the stems go under the snow with a green mass. small fragrant flowers collected in a magnificent pyramidal panicle. Flowering in May-June up to three weeks. The color and shape of the corolla depend on the cultivar. There are purple, purple, white petals. A two-nest box contains several winged seeds, which can be used to obtain young shoots in addition to rhizomatous offspring and cuttings with a heel.

Know! Lilac is a long-liver, very widespread, partly poisonous. A fragrant essential oil is obtained from the flowers.

Lilacs need a lighted area, protected from the icy wind. Young roots are sensitive to stagnant water, so planting in a lowland is excluded. A slightly acidic fertile substrate of moderate humidity is ideal for lilacs. It is usually planted in the summer on a cloudy day, which contributes to better rooting. The pit is filled with nutrient soil mixture from humus, ash, superphosphate, garden soil. Moderate regular watering, a standard fertilizer complex, loosening, mulching and shaping are the basis of care.

Spirea

Spirea is a chic bush, the height of which depends on the variety and ranges from 5 cm to 2 m. Graceful stems droop under thick panicled caps with a diameter of 3-7 cm. Corollas are white, pink, raspberry. Spirea is able to bloom for quite a long time, and with the right combination of spring-flowering and summer-flowering hybrids, you can achieve the continuity of this process. In autumn, graceful leaves enhance the attractiveness of the spirea, acquiring a red, yellow, orange hue.

Spirea care is not difficult. It is grown in the sun, propagated in any convenient way. The peculiarity lies only in the haircut - those varieties that bloom in spring are pruned after the corollas wither, and those that bloom in summer only next spring.

Chubushnik

Mock orange is the brother of hydrangeas. A bush 2-3 meters high is composed of densely leafy stems. The leaves are large, up to 10 cm long, ovate, pubescent below. There are 5-9 creamy goblet buds 2-3 cm in diameter in the flower brush. Corollas fill the garden with fragrance from mid-summer for 15-20 days. There are variegated hybrids - Variegatus, Innosens, Aureus.

Know! The name was given to the plant for the fact that earlier chibouks and mouthpieces were made from it.

Bright sun, low groundwater, nutrient substrate. Planting without deepening the root neck, annual fertilization with slurry and minerals. The right haircut is the key to lush flowering. The weaker the stem, the more it is shortened to stimulate development. Mock orange reproduces generatively and vegetatively.

Weigela

Weigela is a beautiful Asian with large tubular-bell-shaped corollas 5 cm long, which are characterized by a red or pink color. Often blooms again. Growth 1.5-2.5 m, hybrids with different shades of foliage and buds are used in the culture. Winter hardiness is average, young growth must be covered with spruce branches. The cuttings root easily.

An open, well-lit area, protected from the wind, is necessary for the normal vegetation of weigela. The Asian woman is demanding on the substrate, she needs loose fresh soil based on leafy and soddy soil. Does not tolerate waterlogging, but irrigation should be regular. Pruning after withering of buds az in 2-3 years. If they predict cold winter, take measures to warm the Asian guest.

Forsythia ovata

Forsythia, fosaytiya - a guest from warm Asia, Europe. An early-flowering shrub up to 2 m high. The twigs are strewn with bright yellow bells long before the foliage - as soon as the snow melts. Forsythia, the herald of spring, is incredibly decorative. Buds up to 2 cm in diameter last about three weeks. Simple or trifoliate plates become red, orange, yellow with the advent of autumn.

On a note! Forsythia ovoid is the only species of the genus with high winter hardiness, valued for early budding.

A bright warm place in the country with well-fertilized calcareous soil and drainage in the hole is ideal for forsythia. Every year before flowering, a full mineral fertilizer is applied, additional watering is not needed. After flowering, cut off a third of each branch. For reproduction, standard methods are used - cuttings, rooting of layering, sowing, division of the mother liquor.

Potentilla (five leaf, Kuril tea)

What can be said about cinquefoil shrub? Its main advantage is its incredible resistance to any conditions. Kuril tea grows even in permafrost, but flowering hybrids are more tender.

A deciduous bush with a height of 10 to 130 cm can grow up or spread along the ground. The leaves are trifoliate or pinnate, consisting of 3-5 pairs of small oblong lobes. The bark is reddish, the twigs and the underside of the plates are pubescent. Flowers with a simple five-petal corolla sit singly at the top of the shoots or peek out in bunches from June until the end of the season. The middle is fluffy from a large number of stamens.

Potentilla needs an open, slightly shaded place with fertile soil and the obligatory presence of drainage. The land is fertilized annually by watering 3-4 times per season with mandatory mulching and loosening. Haircut every 3-4 years. Easily and quickly rooted cuttings, layering. An excellent solution for growing as a ground cover or low border.

Remember! Kuril tea is good for health, it is not difficult to procure raw materials.

Kolkvitsia

Kolkvitsia is a relative of the weigela, outwardly very similar to her. Growth is about two meters, the branches are drooping, the bark is reddish-brown, exfoliating. Leaves are opposite, pubescent, blaze in autumn bright colors. Bells are bright pink in corymbs with a diameter of 7 cm. It blooms in summer for 3-4 weeks. The best varieties- Rosea and the Pink Cloud. Does not propagate by seeds, cuttings do not take root very well, layering - perfect option obtaining young colonies.

An early autumn frost can take unripened wood by surprise. Openwork penumbra, light sandy loam without stagnant water, normal care - all that colquis needs for development. She is beautiful as a tapeworm near a pond.

Kalina boule de tender

Kalina is a beautiful representative of the flora, decorative with fruits, leaves that turn purple in autumn and even flowers. One of the varieties is "Boulle de Neige", which translates from French as "snow globe". This cultivar is very fond of gardeners, because it forms spherical snow-white inflorescences, consisting of sterile flowers. Flowering occurs in late spring, lasts 2-3 weeks.

Important! Viburnum will need chemical protection with systemic insecticides from viburnum leaf beetle.

The place for the snow globe is chosen well-lit, saturated with moisture with acidic soil - ideal placement near artificial pond. Care is simple, it consists in the annual fertilization, loosening, plentiful regular irrigation. Propagated Kalina Boule de Nezhe vegetatively, sometimes cultivated on a stem, every few years cut into a stump for rejuvenation.

The beautifully flowering frost-resistant varieties also include a park rose - a scrub. In fact, it is a cultivated wild rose, so the description and cultivation requirements are the same for them. Shrubs are the most hardy roses, do not need shelter, have a lot of varieties with different colors of the corolla and the degree of doubleness.

Deytion is an excellent representative of the flora, having a height of 50-250 cm. It blooms early and very abundantly, the buds are white, pink, bell-shaped, drooping, and have no smell. Unpretentious, photophilous, drought-resistant action deserves attention, but is extremely unstable to cold weather.

In the suburbs, it regularly freezes above the snow cover, recovers quickly. For the same reason to frost-resistant species do not include hydrangea. Even treelike and panicled hydrangea in the middle lane, without shelter, it often freezes slightly. Although fluffy white clouds look incredibly attractive, it is better to grow hydrangea with the organization of a winter shelter.

Coniferous ornamental shrubs - photos and names

What kind of gardener does not want to give the site a mystery, to remind you of the closeness to nature, to keep saturated green tones in any season. Low-growing conifers of a shrubby habit are ideal for this purpose. They will shade decorative leafy and fruit cultivars, enhance the colors of flowering varieties. With proper care, conifers will decorate the site for a very long time. This subgroup includes:

Yew

The oldest plant in the form of a bushy tree 1-2 meters tall. The needles are flat, curved without edges. In different representatives of the genus, the length of the needles is from 3 to 10 cm. The fruits outwardly resemble berries. The stems are densely dotted with needles. Yew berries are blue, scarlet, brownish-brown. Inside are elongated angular achenes. Yew is dioecious and monoecious. Variety Aureya has yellow needles.

Be carefull! Of all the parts of the yew, only the seed pod does not contain toxic compounds.

Yew is rightfully called the king of the shadow. It blooms in spring, in good light it grows rapidly. Wet soils containing lime are made on the basis of peat, soddy soil and sand. Mandatory drainage of the fossa, the location of the root neck flush with the surface of the hole. 10 liters of water are irrigated monthly, yew loves sprinkling. Showers are arranged twice a month. Yew needs loosening, mulching, crown shaping. Mineral recharge is brought in in the spring, young growth is wrapped with spruce branches. It is easy to propagate yew seeds after stratification and cuttings.

thuja

Monoecious thuja bushes are made up of flat twigs. The young are covered with needles, in adults they are replaced by flat scaly needles. Growth depends on species, most often shoots 30-80 cm high are used. Cones are elongated-oval, covered with tiled scales, 8-15 mm long. Achenes are equipped with wings; after stratification they germinate well. However, garden hybrids are propagated only vegetatively - cuttings with a heel.

Thuja grows well provided that a drainage layer is laid, in the sun or in partial shade. The place must be protected from blowing, the root collar is not deepened. Any type of soil is suitable, but minerals must be added when planting. They are cared for in the same way as a yew, but irrigated weekly.

Important! Before changing the needles, young shoots must be covered with lutrasil to avoid spring burns.

Juniper

In the genus of junipers, there are specimens of large sizes, but cultural forms up to 2 m tall. The crown is ovoid or conical; during formation, any appearance can be given. On brownish-red branches, fissured scaly bark. The needles are trihedral, prickly, collected in whorls of 3 pieces, changing every 4 years. It begins to bloom from 7-10 years old, bears fruit with bluish cones. Cones ripen in 2-3 years, contain 1-2 seeds.

Important! Juniper needs a sunny place so that the bush does not grow loose.

Undemanding to the fertility of the substrate, drought-resistant. You need to water 3-4 times during the growing season, and spray weekly. Shelter is built only for the first wintering. cultivars reproduce vegetatively - cuttings with a heel, layering. Slow growth and smoke intolerance limit landscaping applications.

Evergreen ornamental shrubs

There is no dispute about the merits of the evergreen inhabitants of the garden. They are welcome guests of any site, because they retain their beauty all year round. In the spring, while their neighbors are intensively increasing their green mass and preparing to please with lush flowering, evergreen representatives already bring aesthetic pleasure. As soon as the snow melts, it is enough to correct the appearance by cutting, the bushes will immediately take on a beautiful look.

Such representatives are more often natives of tropical countries, therefore they are not characterized by a frost-resistant character. In the Middle lane will feel comfortable:

• pachysandra apical;
• boxwood.

Heather

Heathers are very widespread in Europe, their cultivated varieties are grown in Russia, differing in size, color of flowers and foliage. Heather is a low bush 20-70 cm tall. Forms a compact dense crown of small scale-like leaves. The plates are trihedral, petioles are absent, the color is dark green, the bark is brown. The flowers are most often lilac or pink, rarely snow-white. They are collected in dense one-sided brushes 15-20 cm long. Heather begins to bloom from mid-summer for about two months, grows very slowly, is durable, a good honey plant. Reproduced by seeds, cultivars are propagated by cuttings.

Know! Tart heather honey is very valuable, contains flavonoids, has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Heathers are mycotrophs, they obtain food through symbiosis with fungi. Easily tolerate partial shade, need good drainage of the planting hole. It develops well near tall neighbors, prefers acidic soils (pH 4.5-5.5) based on peat, sand, coniferous litter. It is important to choose the right planting material, it is better to buy plants in containers where the mycelium on the roots is already well formed. In the heat, it is advisable to spray the heather every evening and make sure that the substrate does not dry out.

Pachysandra apical

Pakhisandra is a guest from Asia. The bush is equipped with a long rhizome. Forms a low growth (30-35 cm) from three tiers of leaves. Each "floor" is a year's growth. The leaves are sessile, ovate with a carved edge. The surface of the plate is glossy saturated green. Variegated varieties with a white border are valued.

Pakhizandra is the queen of the shade, the greens quickly fade in the sun, lose their color, and suffer from spring burns. The soil for the Asian needs loose, the composition is not particularly important. Diseases and pests bypass pachysandra, watering and fertilizing are optional. Reproduced by segments of the rhizome. Valued for its dense cover, the ability to grow in the shade.

Criteria for choosing a suitable variety, where to buy seedlings

How to choose the perfect culture for decorating a summer house, planting in a garden? It's not that easy! It is important to take into account a number of nuances, to choose the right planting material. Some useful tips will help you to cope with this difficult task:

1. When choosing a variety, be sure to consider its attitude to cold weather. Some cultivars will winter well in the Moscow region, but will die in the Urals. Therefore, seedlings are purchased strictly according to the zoning rule.
2. Be sure to consider the placement of the acquired "tenant". Among the bushes described in the article, there are slow-growing species that are not prone to growth, but there is also their opposite - real invaders that can quickly crowd out their neighbors.
3. Growth rates are also important when placed near buildings, because the root system of individual representatives of the flora can destroy the foundation, and the crown can create strong shading. There are ways to limit the violent nature - cutting and creating underground fences made of plastic, slate.
4. Choose plants so that you get a beautiful and practical composition. You can think over the placement yourself, contact a specialist (landscape designer) or use special computer programs.
5. It is recommended to buy planting material only in nurseries located on the territory of your region. If you take seedlings from other regions or countries, they may not be adapted to the local climate and will take a long time to adapt.
6. You should not buy seedlings with visible signs of injury and damage - broken branches, traces of pests, diseases.
7. Pay close attention to the state of the root system. Make sure that the roots are not overdried, and the earthen ball does not crumble.
8. Do not take planting material older than 4 years, it takes root much worse. Avoid purchasing in the markets, from hands, at fairs.

Advice! Do not neglect the rules of preplant seedling treatment. Be sure to spray the planted plant with a fungicide. Quarantine - carefully observe the development.

How to plant ornamental shrubs beautifully: basic placement rules

In order to enjoy garden beauties from year to year, it is necessary to think over the design correctly. It is important not only to consider the issue color combination, correct selection flora, but also practical to organize the space of the existing site. For proper placement, you can use special computer programs based on modeling a landscape project. They take into account the size and color scheme of each zone. Speaking about the methods of placing various representatives of the flora, single and group plantings, ordinary plantings (alley, hedge), as well as vertical gardening are distinguished.

To use the bush as a soloist for single plantings, the most attractive specimens are selected that have a beautiful habit, play with bright colors of the crown, or have chic flowering. The tapeworm is an individual located in an open space, away from neighbors and buildings. A majestic and magnificent view can be achieved due to the absence of a struggle for territory, lighting and soil resources. Tall specimens capable of developing a lush crown are usually selected as a tapeworm. Spreading and drooping shoots look especially attractive.

Advice! a cozy meadow or green corner the lawn will be decorated with classic garden figures, spherical bushes, standard forms.

Group landing is already a composition. For her, you can select plants of the same species, but different varieties or different crops. The group is planted from 2-3 copies. The group can serve as a background or a bright spot, where the height gradually decreases from the center to the periphery. Such a technique is necessary to provide all parts with light. Also, groups are dense and sparse.

There are a lot of solutions for such a composition, every gardener can feel like an artist and creator, choosing the design of the site. It is important to take into account the compatibility of the selected flora, growth rates, and organize planting in such a way as to ensure continuous decorative effect. If we are talking about decorative leafy representatives, they are selected so that the colors harmonize, and the autumn outfit burns with a bright fire of various colors. Beautiful flowering bushes are selected in such a way that flowering throughout the season is continuous.

Optional to use in creation group landing only bushes, a tree can serve as the center of the composition, and perennials can make up the periphery. This technique is often used to create mixborders, design rockeries, prefabricated flower beds. On an alpine hill, bushes can act both as a soloist in the center of the composition, and serve as a background.

Alley - a great solution for decoration large space. It creates an indescribable play of light and shadow, a mixture of colors and aromas. Distinguish between simple and complex alleys. The former consist of a single row of homogeneous crops planted symmetrically. Complex alleys combine several rows of plants that differ in height and texture.

On a note! A spectacular alley is obtained from maples, holly, deren, viburnum, rhododendron.

Hedge of ornamental shrubs

The hedge is a favorite tool garden design. It is able to hide from prying eyes, protect from dust, noise, zone space, hide unsightly areas.

There are hedges, consisting of one or more rows of specimens of different heights. There are also hedges that are subject to strict form by shearing and free-growing, requiring only sanitation. Allocate homogeneous and heterogeneous hedges, monochrome and color, different in height, color scheme, decorative qualities (blooming, evergreen, with beautiful foliage).

What type of culture do you prefer? It all depends on your taste and wishes, but there are still general requirements:

• choose individuals with a high rate of growth of green mass;
• you need densely branching bushes;
• small leaves - dignity for the formation of a hedge;
• the formation of a large number of root shoots is welcome.

Be sure to take into account the growth rate, the need for shaping, soil requirements, especially when it comes to heterogeneous plantings. Try to choose flora with the same requirements for soil, watering, lighting. A hedge can be used as a protection of the territory - plant thorny bushes, for example, wild rose, hawthorn, barberry. Take the time and effort to form your "green building".

Remember! When planting a hedge, the standard distance between individuals is reduced by at least half. This technique will ensure the absence of "gaps".

Beginners landscape designers it is worth remembering to observe the rules for planting various crops. In most climatic zones, planting is carried out in the fall, when the soil is warm and the humidity is at the optimum level. In the spring, they are planted only in regions with a harsh climate, so that the bushes have time to adapt to a new place and get stronger. Planting dates are determined by climatic conditions and rooting ability. To calculate the optimal time, subtract from the date of the expected frost the period that a certain variety requires for rooting.

Spring planting is carried out before bud break, and the site, planting pit or trench should be prepared in the fall. Be sure to take into account the needs of the species, the initial state of the substrate when “refueling” the pit with fertilizers.

Follow the planting pattern so that the flora does not suffer from lack of space. Undersized representatives will need 50-80 cm of free space, medium-sized ones - about one and a half meters, and large and spreading ones as much as their crown occupies according to the description. Treat seedlings before planting and do not forget to control the level of the root collar.

Important! Control the level of groundwater, if necessary, construct drainage from broken bricks, crushed stone.

Be aware of the inadmissibility of planting near specimens with a superficial root system bulbous perennials. Bulbs must be annually removed, divided, planted, while injuring the roots of a neighbor. It is also important to take into account the height of neighboring individuals, so as not to deprive them of the sun's rays.

Conclusion

Described in the article decorative frost-resistant shrubs with photos and names - an excellent solution for decorating a summer house in regions with a harsh climate. Having picked up seedlings to taste and compatibility, you have a difficult path in mastering landscape design. The finished composition, with proper care, will please the eye for a very long time and will fully pay off the invested effort.

Too high soil pH can be adjusted by adding, for example, peat.

Rhododendrons bloom from spring, buds are tied in the previous autumn, it is very important to protect them from frost in late autumn. These plants are generally not pruned, and any shoot reduction is done in the summer (after flowering). During flowering, faded flowers should be regularly broken off so that they do not produce seeds, so the plant can be strengthened.

This is fast growing shrub which sheds its leaves in winter. The inflorescence is usually conical in shape, consisting of small, numerous fragrant flowers that attract butterflies, which is why the plant is also called a butterfly bush.
