Love the Giant Plants in the Flower Garden? I present the top 5 best huge Annual plants especially for you

Tall flowers immediately attract the eye with their dimensions, so they are used to decorate unsightly places on the site.

In the conditions of the Russian short summer, not many plants have time to reach impressive sizes in one season.

I have found for myself five unpretentious and decorative annuals, which I successfully grow in the country.

1. Castor oil plant

Many call this 2-meter plant a "palm tree". The castor bean belongs to the Euphorbia family; in frosty winters it is grown as a rapidly growing annual.

The plant has a powerful hollow stem, huge lobed red-green leaves. It blooms with yellow carpal inflorescences. The seeds ripen in round, spiny, bright red bolls. The seeds are poisonous!

I grow castor bean through seedlings, place it in a sunny place in the front area of ​​the site. The flower is afraid of frost.

2. Amaranth

A valuable fodder plant can act as a decorative flyer. Shiritsa, sown with seeds directly into the ground, grows up to 1 meter by July, and reaches 150 cm by August.

I have a tailed amaranth (Raspberry beads) with long bright inflorescences and two-color amaranth (Illumination) with variegated red-yellow leaves.

3. Datura (beautiful datura)

I plant the variety Ballerina Parple, which forms large double white-lilac gramophones. They spread a strong scent. The height of the flower is about 90 cm.

If you sow seeds for seedlings in March, flowering will begin in early June and continue until frost.

4. Mallow

A popular village flower, the height of which reaches 3 m. My mallow grows along the street side of the fence, successfully decorating a wooden picket fence.

5. Scented tobacco

An unpretentious view, reaching a height of 80-90 cm. To keep flowering long, I sow seeds in March for seedlings. After planting tobacco on the garden bed, all care consists in organizing watering.

Tobacco blooms with fragrant flowers - asterisks of white, lilac, raspberry and pink shades.

I want to give some useful tips when placing annuals of large-sized plants:

If the buds are formed at the top of the stem, the plants are placed in the background of the flower garden;

· Plants with variegated foliage are planted in groups or with a ribbon, without obstructing them;

· Tall, not spreading annuals can act as a hedge.

Most tall plants have to be grown through seedlings, but the extra hassle is worth it.
