The best annual flowers for a border on the site
In the design of the site, it is important which flowers are used in the borders. The most unpretentious and bright are annual flowers.
Their only drawback is that you have to sow them every year. But you can every year and beat different options for borders and change the design of the site due to this.
The most popular curb plants include:
1. Ageratum
It blooms for a long period, from June to October. It is not difficult to look after him. Just do not be lazy to remove faded inflorescences. Do not get carried away with fertilizing, otherwise the bushes will grow powerful, but at the expense of flowering.
2. Alissum
Very unpretentious and fragrant annual. It blooms from May until late autumn. The bush is compact, no more than 40 centimeters high. A bright place is required.
Better to place it in the curb along the paths. Do not overfeed, otherwise the flowering will not be plentiful. Immediately after planting, it is necessary to constantly water, ideally by sprinkling.
3. Marigold
They can grow in any light conditions. The main thing is that it is not too humid and not completely dark. But marigolds will grow most effectively in a sunny area.
They bloom profusely all summer, and very quickly form a lush bush. They perfectly tolerate the transplant even in the flowering state.
4. Iberis
They look like a white or pink cloud with a pleasant aroma. Flowering lasts about a month. To extend it, it is necessary to remove the fading flowers.
5. Cineraria
It is prized for its patterned silvery leaves. The seaside cineraria is especially effective. Such a curb will stand until the first snow.
Not all plants are suitable for the border, but those that meet certain rules:
- Plants should not be too tall, their width is no more than 50 centimeters, and their height is no more than 40. There are, of course, exceptions. For example, if you need to decorate walls or a fence, then tall plants will be required.
- Plants must remain compact and not climb into someone else's territory.
- the color of the color should be combined with the color of the house or contrast with it.
- when planting curb plants, you must take into account that they will grow. Therefore, the recommended spacing between plants should be observed.
