Flowers are the main decoration of the garden. But, unfortunately, their beauty fades quickly, leaving behind only a hint of past bloom. However, in our power to slightly correct the laws of nature, to enjoy natural charm all year round. And in this we will help the flower bed of continuous flowering.

How to create such a flower bed, which will please the eye from spring to autumn, today will tell its readers the "House of Dreams".

Preparing for the creation of a continuous flowering flower bed

A flower bed whose plants alternately experience their flowering is like a magical orchestra. First, the first glades and primroses with their timid spring tones come into the party, then the colors of nature are gaining momentum, becoming brighter and brighter in order to complete their composition in the late autumn season with rich tones of chrysanthemums and asters.

However, to create such beauty, many nuances and rules must be taken into account:

• first, that the flower garden from early spring until late autumn was filled with flowering inhabitants,a flowering calendar, including in it plants that blossom in spring, summer and autumn;
• secondly, the flowerbed looks beautiful and magnificent only in the event that for each time there are several flowering plants. Accordingly, its size should be large enough and wide;
• third, you need to consider not only the flowering time of each plant, but also how they get along with each other, whether they are equally demanding for irrigation, soil conditions, etc.
• Fourth, the flower bed of continuous flowering is similar to the picture, the colors of which periodically change, becoming brighter, then weaker. To plant flower beds looked like a single composition, you need to create a planting scheme for a flower garden of continuous flowering. For example, if the flowerbed is in the central part of the territory, the tallest and long-flowering plants should be placed in the middle of the composition. If the flower garden is placed along a wall or a fence, tall plants should occupy the back of the composition.
• And, fifthly, reflecting on how to create a continuous flower bed, many gardeners admit one common mistake - they pay close attention to the period with the largest flowering volume, forgetting that the flower garden should also look attractive during the off-season. For example, if bulbous plants take part in a flower garden, which after flowering, often look unattractive, at this time they should be zadekorivat other, mostly deciduous plants or flowers.

And, of course,continuous flowering, you need to consider the color combination of plants. To make the composition of the object look whole and harmonious, flowers of the same shade are recommended to be planted in groups. If you scatter plants with similar flowering throughout the flowerbed, they will split the composition, because of which its general pattern is not "read."

The flowerbeds, in which the neighboring shades contrast with each other, look very beautiful and festive, but compositions that shade in a similar color scheme are no less attractive.

The choice of this or that option depends on the personal preferences of the gardener and the style of the garden plot.

In addition, in order to facilitate the care of the flowerbed, in which several species of plants are collected, even at the stage of charting, think about where the paths and tracks will be located.
