astrantia major

Astrantia major popular name - "Zvezdovka" reflects not the usual appearance of the plant flowers. Showy shrubs with abundant blooms do not exceed a height of 70 cm. It does not have to look for a special place for such a significant flower: feels good in the sun and in partial shade.

Astrantia major, despite the high decorative effect, does not need special care. It grows on all types of soils, but the best thing is gaining strength on the loose. Watering during a drought, excellent cold resistance and immunity, the rapid growth of the bush... What else is needed? Oh, well worth Astrantia major in the vase life. Bouquets with her participation received royal!

Armeria maritima

If you want to get a beautiful low-growing flower, I recommend to look at the Armeria maritima. The height of the stems do not exceed 20-30 cm. Very decorative colors (usually red or pink), collected in dense balls. bush itself forms a cushion with a diameter of 30-40 cm. By the way, it looks great on the Alpine hills, because in Europe is found in mountainous areas, and is the natural flower of the alpine landscape.

Armeria maritima easily tolerate drought and loves the sun. Singularity of the form - a love for acid soils. Therefore, if the flower is growing on limestone soil, it is recommended to make peat moss or ammonium nitrate.

Lythrum salicaria

Large plant with buds-candles, which necessarily attracts glances. Height - about 80-140 cm. In appearance, vaguely reminiscent of willow-herb. Popular name - Plakun-Grass.

When caring for Lythrum salicaria should be remembered that the flower does not like drought. Therefore, the plant in the summer will have to be watered frequently and make a layer of mulch. Excellent solution - landing near the reservoir. In winter, the stems are cut, but the cover is not necessary.

Years of flax garden with large flowers

It would seem that unusual in flax can be... But the variety with large flowers, I admit, though created in order to beautify the garden modest but numerous and colorful flowers. Plant height - up to 60 cm.

Years of flax quite unpretentious and perfect for those who do not like to be picked in the flowerbed. It is recommended to put on a well-lit space, or in light shade - the sun's rays have a positive impact on the bloom. Watering - like all unpretentious: in hot weather with a prolonged drought.

Salvia nemorosa

Plant height of from 30 to 90 cm (depending on the variety), externally resembling lavender.

Loves sunshine and moderate watering. With the help of sage oakwood can create a beautiful curb or lilac island in the flower garden. The plant is well in and of itself. And it is undemanding given the care and relative indifference to soil fertility!
