• And the first to open our list hollyhockBut it has many other names, and the most common is mallow.

Features of the hollyhock flower

It is one of the tallest garden plants, with stems reaching up to 250 cm. Mallow is a biennial plant, forming a rosette of leaves in the first year and blooming in the second. Its buds resemble bells and can reach up to 12 cm in diameter. The leaves of the hollyhock are hairy and palmately lobed. This rose comes in a wide variety of colors. The buds are collected on the central stem in an elongated inflorescence, and in the third and fourth years, flowering will be weaker as the plant shrinks.

It's planted from seeds, both in open ground and as seedlings. Hollyhock is easy to grow and isn't fussy. However, it's best to plant it in a wind-free spot.

 

2) The next plant has a rather complicated name. tricyrtis

Its care is quite simple. However, many compare the tricyrtis to an orchid. It has about 20 different varieties. Tricyrtis has a very attractive appearance, with stems reaching up to 80 cm in height and bell-shaped buds up to 4 cm in diameter. The bushes grow up to a meter in length. It dislikes windy areas and high humidity, so plant it in fertile, black soil. During drought, keep the soil slightly moist.

Tricyrtis reproduces by seeds, which are planted in late autumn.

 

3) Further, this may be suitable for your site EupatoriumIt comes in two varieties: spotted eupatorium and purple eupatorium.

This plant is not picky about soil and requires care like any other perennial. Eupatorium should be planted in a sunny location; it's important that it tolerates winter well. Its flowers are racemose. Eupatorium thrives on nutrients, so use mineral fertilizers. It can be grown in the same location for five to ten years.

 

It reproduces in four species:

Seeds

To grow this plant from seed, you first need to grow seedlings, which are planted in March. The shoots will appear within 2-3 weeks.

 

By dividing the bush

The plant is divided in the fall or spring, but it must be at least five years old. The rhizome is cut with a knife or shovel. After planting, the plants need to be watered generously.

 

Renewal buds

When the shoots grow to five centimeters, they can be planted in a flowerbed when roots appear.

 

4) Continues our list yarrow.

This plant grows up to 90 cm tall, with a racemose flower. It prefers open locations. During drought, yarrow requires ample watering. It can be replanted at three years of age, but it has one drawback: it quickly spreads across the entire site, and to prevent it from shedding seeds, do not allow spent flowers to fall to the ground.

Yarrow needs to be divided every couple of years. Propagation by green cuttings is also possible, but propagation by seed is very rare.

 

5) Next on the list comes day-lily.

This easy-to-grow plant will thrive in any climate, but proper care is required to keep them looking healthy. It prefers sunny spots, but should be planted in a shady spot to prevent the buds from fading.

 

There are two ways to reproduce them, each with its own pros and cons.

Dividing the bush

The plant is usually divided when it is at least four years old. It is replanted well before the first frost to prevent it from freezing.

 

Propagation by seeds

Daylilies cannot be propagated from seeds at home.

 

6) There are also some wonderful ones phloxes.

These are very beautiful flowers that require little care. There are over forty species, allowing you to create an unforgettable beauty in your flowerbed.

They begin blooming in June and finish in the fall.

The most common types of viola used by gardeners are:

Pansies look great in hanging flower pots.

 

8) We also suggest planting a plant gentian.

These are very beautiful plants that grow in any location. These wonderful plants love the sun, but there are also varieties that thrive in shade. They have single flowers and short stems and grow up to one and a half meters tall. The choice of location and soil for planting must be determined individually for each variety, and planting must be approached with great care. Gentians are best planted in April or September. The distance between each bush should be at least 30 cm. It's best to dig the soil twice before planting. They propagate by seeds, which should be sown in winter. Keep in mind that the seeds have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months. Gentians are usually planted in a dense layer, as they have a beautiful blue color. They don't require any special care if the soil and planting location are chosen correctly.

Perennial flowers also include: roses, they do require special care, but they are very beautiful, and they smell like... mmm...
