Lovely perennials for gardens in northern regions of Russia: -40 ° C do not crash! Do not lose out in the beauty of the southern
Hello!
Certainly among channel readers have gardeners who live in regions with not very warm climate. And a little unfair that I only write about his Moscow which plants are suitable for him and how to care for them in a central strip.
So I carefully peruse forums and literature. I chose the 5 most beautiful perennials (only my opinion!) Plants undergoing severe frosts.
Of course, the northern residents know what grows well in their own land. You can share your options and reviews. And hopefully, you find something new.
explanatory note
Flowers that I have included in the selection withstand temperatures down to -40 ° C, and even a little more. But this drop in temperature - an ordeal for any plant.
Therefore, young and weak colors requires at least malomalski shelter. And if the snow just a little bit - you just need to jot down on a bed sugrobik shovel. This is not difficult, but the benefit is enormous: 1 cm of natural shelter "eats" 1 ° C cold.
Yes, the best shelter for plants - snow!
Stone Rose, she rejuvenated
Let's start with the smallest. Unique in nature succulent northern latitudes - Young. Experiencing prolonged drought, and generally grows by itself.
Note: Stone Rose glamorous looks as a border plant, at the alpine hill and rockeries.
I think that young - beauty, of course, an amateur. But look: maybe it is not enough in your North Garden?
Canadian roses
We are used to "Garden Queen" very capricious and requires a shelter for the winter. But, fortunately, there are species neubivaemye almost cold. Within reasonable limits. It is about the Canadian park roses, which were derived specifically for harsh climates. AND better representatives of the group undergoing a lossless lowering thermometer to -40 ° C.
Tip: Of course, the better the roots spud humus or just dry land. to make sure
Perhaps the Canadian park roses are no different sophistication and refinement as hybrid tea or floribunda. Typically, these are large shrubs with large "disheveled" flowers. One florist Canada rose in disgust reminds terry rose, while others are fascinated by their unpretentiousness and great charm.
Asiatic lilies
In Asian lilies have one important advantage. They can withstand temperatures down to -40 ° C. Unless, of course, set at the required depth and covered with snow. Therefore, choosing a lily flower beds to the north, take the necessary Asian and plant them at the desired depth.
For the rest, no intricacies. Varieties are so many and they are all different, that the eyes diverge! From myself I shall advise to plant bulbs in groups: in a bouquet of flowers look better and more magnificent. And of them can make a lovely bouquet of cut flowers - is not worse than the cabin floristry!
Hemerocallis: small sun
Daylily firmly settled in Russian gardens. We loved it for its generous flowering, which is favorably combined with astonishing ruggedness and survivability. Complex hybrids with unusual colorings may be heat-loving, but the "classics of the genre" - daylilies in orange tones - easily overwinter at -45 ° C.
From a small daylily seedling grows lush bush 60-90 cm high for a couple of years, which is in the middle of summer produces vivid colors. I really like the option of planting "flocks": the group will be a great backdrop for the undersized mates or hide the fence.
Monarda tubular
If you want to grow a large bush covered with fluffy flowers, your choice - definitely, Monarda tube (second name - fistular). It grows from 60 to 120 cm. A nice bonus - a bright, well-known smell.
Monarda is willing to grow in a sunny spot. In the penumbra, where the northern sun and so does not spoil rays, flowering will be poor. But in a well-lit corner, yet hidden from the icy winds of bushes or a fence, show itself on all its glory.
Because of the cold summer, our heroes do not have time to show itself in all its glory. But is it not they be forgiven? Flowers and paint so harsh Russian North and give joy to its inhabitants.
