Tired of asters and marigolds? 5 colors with a beautiful "autumn" flowering

Making beds - fascinating, but difficult task. Making a plan, you need to take into account the "seasonality" of plants: by selecting flowers that decorate the land in the late summer and fall, you will provide a decorative appearance to the most frosts. The most famous - asters, marigolds, dahlias and gladioli - undeniably good. But maybe you want to try something new? Choose!

"Flower Dorothea"

In simple terms, doroteantus - dwarf daisies with bright colors. The height of the bush is from 5 to 30 cm, but typically less than 15 cm. "Dorothea Flower" can be planted as a border plant, the first tier of the flower bed, or the slope of an alpine slide. The main condition - plenty of light: a plant with favor the scorching rays of the sun.

Doroteantus bloom in mid-summer. Bright daisies decorate a flower bed until late fall - the end of September / October. Duration of flowering, like the other "Autumn", dependent on weather conditions. They are able to please the grower until they ruin frost.

Interesting fact: doroteantusa chamomile possible are disclosed in the afternoon and in the evening or in cloudy weather, the petals are raised, hiding the middle. With this particular flower is popularly known as "Poludennik".

forgotten old

Among the annuals, blooming until late fall, their ruggedness is different "Snapdragon". The unusual form, variety of colors, abundant flowering - all this makes Antirrhinum (official name) relevant to this day.

Plant height is from 15 to 100 cm depending on the variety. Therefore, the use of its variants - a lot! Personally, I like it by itself without the addition of other plants. I plant it every year, making the "islands" or bordyurchik along the fence or the footpath.

Watering snapdragon needs only during drought. More of care, I note that the withered blossoms should be uninstalled. Antirrhinum prone to self-seeding. And seeds are carried by 10 meters exactly and presented in spring nasty surprises.

Not the standard form - colorful clouds

Flower, which I have never planted, but really want to do this in the coming season - celosia. There are three popular types: a "whisk", "cones" and "scallops". Coloring of inflorescences is bright, usually - rich. Celosia certainly not go unnoticed.

Celosia - one ornamental plant more "for the lazy". The unpretentious care, judging by the reviews, every year has shown good results in regions with different climates.

Another novelty for me

I found another interesting flower adorning the garden in autumn. Explore the largest ornamental plant with exquisite views - montbretsiey (Crocosmia). This perennial of the iris family, vaguely reminiscent of the familiar day-lily. It draws attention to the bright blooms on long peduncles:

So inflorescence appears near:

In general, recorded in the list of "hotelok".

Blooms all summer and even autumn

My favorite - Drummond phlox. Outwardly, he reminds us familiar perennial phlox, but usually below. Why am I planting it? Primarily because of the diversity of varieties and lush flowering. I like the variety of flowers, asterisks. By the way, more flowering begins in June and continues until the first frosts.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll write a detailed article about growing phlox Drummond simple enough. Subscribe to not miss!
