Summer flowers are yellow. Unpretentious tall perennials with photos and descriptions. Tall perennial flowers for the garden: oregano and hyssop

Among the huge variety of perennial flower crops, tall plants * always stand out.

They are surprisingly different: stately or loose, with large solid or delicate complex leaves, with high peduncles - but they are united by one feature - height. In practice, tall plants are considered to be those that grow up to 80-100 cm, but today we will talk about real giants, reaching a height of 1.2-1.5 m or more.

Some of them are spring dominants, others are summer accents, and there are also autumn favorites that adorn the almost empty flower beds, meeting the first snow.

Hybrid hibiscus blooms in late summer. A photo
Some retain their greatness and become throughout the growing season. But there are those that can be ranked as giants temporarily: with an average (60-70 cm) size, their growth increases significantly due to high peduncles:

• delphiniums;
• buzulniks;
• foxglove purple and others.

Perovskia dark-leaved in bloom. A photo
Often the period of greatest decorativeness of tall perennials is extended due to their spectacular fruiting:

• artichoke;
• pampas grass;
• american phytolacca;
• asparagus and others.

Phytolacca in autumn. A photo

They are in demand at dachas in various compositions:

• as tapeworms near the house or near the fence;
• as a background for low-growing flowering perennials and annuals;
• as a kind of living barrier dividing the site into zones;
• as an accent of the design of the coastal strip of the reservoir;
• as a permanent or temporary dominant in rocky garden, mixborder, where they will not get lost in the background.

Canadian goldenrod in bloom. A photoOf these (sunflower heliopsis), you can arrange a seasonal hedge or curtain. Grown in containers (basio banana, fragrant brugmansia), they will decorate the most important summer cottages:

• entrance to the house;
• recreation area;
• a paved area or wooden flooring by the reservoir;
• an open summer terrace.

Some of them will add a rustic flavor to flower beds:

• rudbeckia;
• goldenrod;
• sunflower heliopsis.

Others will add a kind of exoticism:

• brugmansia;
• miscanthus;
• gunner;
• darmer;
• eremurus.

All of them are centenarians (with the exception of the foxglove); in optimal conditions they live happily ever after; only a few, rapidly growing, need to be rejuvenated - replanted after 3-4 years. In central Russia, they hibernate without shelter (with the exception of the Basio banana).

Foxglove purple- tall biennial. A photo

Tall herbaceous perennials are architectural (the term is borrowed from the dictionary of English gardeners) plants with an expressive habit (appearance), attractive flowers, spectacular leaves. There are not so many of them, and they are always welcome guests of any flower garden. But all is well in moderation: an excess of large, spectacular specimens will tire and even annoy. Therefore, when choosing architectural plants, you need to be extremely careful, not to oversaturate flower beds with them, not to disturb the balance of compositions (balance is one of those qualities that are absolutely invisible when they are, but their absence is obvious!).

Banana Basio- architectural perennial. A photo
Each architectural plant has its own zest (most often it is size, shape), which allows it to solo in a flower garden, setting the tone for the entire composition.

Tall herbaceous perennials support the structure of the flower garden, planted in different corners of the dacha, contribute to the unification of disparate compositions into a single whole.

Elsgolzia Staunton in September. A photo
Very large leaves give the plants special significance and monumentality. Their owners are most often tapeworms, since in a single planting, against the background of more ordinary-looking neighbors, they look much more expressive. At the same time, it is not so important what form of their foliage: exotic carved (soft acanthus, prickly artichoke, pinnate rogers) or simple (cannes, darmera scutellum).

Canna hybrid close-up. A photo
Small details fade into the background here, although close examination can add an additional decorative effect.

Spring tall dominants

There are few of them: most of the tall plants are still inconspicuous at this time, grow back later - from the second half of April or early May.

Darmera shield

Darmera shield or scutellum, peltiphyllum, "Indian rhubarb" (Darmera peltata, syn. Peltiphyllum peltatum) - a rare perennial giant up to 2 m high and up to 1 m wide from the Saxifragaceae family.

Darmera is shield. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com. Her flowering, photo by Svetlana
She is originally from North America. Leaves, resembling umbrellas turned inside out, up to 90 cm in diameter (in central Russia - up to 60 cm), green, in autumn - copper-red. The flowers are small, star-shaped, pink, gathered in dense shields on a leafless thick pubescent peduncle 50-120 cm high; bloom in April-May, before the leaves appear. Good on loose moist soils in semi-shady and shady places of summer cottages in the company with:

• hosts;
• astilbe;
• badan;
• daylilies;
• geycher;
• ferns;
• siberian irises.

A powerful clump of darmera will be only 9-10 years old, as it grows slowly. Propagated by rhizome segments.

Foxglove purple

Luxurious tall representative of the Scrophulariaceae family. Due to the many different varieties and unpretentiousness, foxglove can often be found in summer cottages; mainly grown as a biennial. The only thing to consider when planning to settle it in your flower garden is that the plant is poisonous. Therefore, if the family has small children, it is worth refraining from growing it.

Foxglove purple in May. A photo

Foxglove purple (Digitalis purpurea) - a short-lived herbaceous pubescent perennial 1-2 m high and 60 cm wide; originally from Southwest and Western Europe. Leaves from oval to lanceolate, 10-25 cm long. Drooping bell-shaped flowers are white, cream, yellow, pink, crimson, up to 6 cm long, collected in a tall spike-shaped inflorescence; bloom in summer, in the south - from the end of May.

Digitalis purple "Gloxinioides"... Photo from amazon.com. Foxglove purple" Sutton's Apricot"... Photo from the site crocus.co.uk

Decorative varieties and shapes:

• f. albiflora - white flowers;
• "Dwarf Sensation" - compact, 1.2 m high, flowers 8 cm long, dense, dense inflorescence;
• "Excelsior Hybrids" - flowers from white and cream to pink and purple;
• "Gloxinioides" - 2 m high, flowers are light pink, creamy yellow, purple;
• "Sutton's Apricot" - apricot-pink flowers.

Prefers semi-shady (and even shady) summer cottages with well-drained moist loose fertile soils. Propagated by seeds through seedlings, which are planted in flower beds in early autumn. In the first year, the foxglove forms a root rosette of leaves. After the seeds ripen, they die off, so this fact must be considered by planting them in the background of the mixborder.

Summer tall accents

Most of them: these are decorative-leaved and flowering tall perennials. They are luxurious, interesting, attractive, but all are not for small summer cottages.

Astilboides lamellar

A large perennial from the Saxifragaceae family, up to 1.5 m high and 1.2 m wide, requiring enough space to show how beautiful it is.

Astilboides lamellar (Astilboides tabularis) native to China, North Korea. The leaves are huge, up to 90 cm in diameter, on high (up to 1 m) petioles. The flowers are creamy white, gathered in a panicle-like inflorescence, like that of an astilbe, which is the name of the genus; bloom in early and mid-summer, during the month.

It grows slowly. Demanding on moisture, with a lack of moisture, it may not bloom. Optimal for planting it will be a windless shady place with moist, loose fertile soil. Naked slugs love him.

Buzulniki

During the flowering period, from the second half of summer to early autumn, they turn into golden giants. Buzulniks are very demanding on moisture, therefore, on especially hot days, even in partial shade, they lower their beautiful large simple and carved leaves.

(Ligularia dentata, syn. L. clivorum) - a stately perennial from the Asteraceae family, 1-1.5 m high and 1 m wide, forms thickets.

(Ligularia przewalskii, syn. Senecio przewalskii) is a large perennial that forms dense thickets, up to 2 m high and up to 1 m wide.

They grow and bloom better in shaded areas of the cottage with moist fertile soil. They do not suffer from a lack of moisture in the coastal water zone of the reservoir, they are good in swampy areas. Propagated by dividing rhizomes.

Basilists

The tallest are the East Asian species (Thalictrum), which, during flowering, create pink, white clouds of small flowers fluttering in the wind with numerous long stamens. Significantly lighten the heaviest plant composition in partial shade. These are representatives of the Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).

Leaves are compound, 2-3 pinnate, 45 cm long. Flowers are lilac, drooping, up to 2.5 cm in diameter, gathered in panicles; bloom from late summer to early autumn.

Basil plants are most interesting in semi-shady places of summer cottages on constantly moist fertile loose soils. Propagated by seeds through seedlings, dividing rhizomes.

Veronicastrum virginian

For lovers of beautiful plant compositions using various inflorescences, including vertically directed spike-shaped ones, this plant is a real find. During the flowering period, Veronicastrum Virginia is an undoubted accent that concentrates everyone's attention.

Veronicastrum Virginian "Erica". Photo from the site ballyrobertgardens.com

Veronicastrum virginian (Veronicastrum virginicum, syn. Veronica virginica) - a relative of the well-known Veronica; in the genus there are only 2 species (also V. Siberian - V. sibiricum). The British call it "Culver Root" (Culver City, California), as it comes from North America. This is an impressive upright short-rhizome perennial up to 2 m high and 45 cm wide. Leaves are lanceolate, up to 25 cm long. Flowers are small (up to 7 mm), white, pink, purple, blue; collected in narrow spike-shaped inflorescences 40 cm long; bloom from mid-summer to early autumn.

Decorative forms and varieties:

• f. album - white flowers;
• "Erica" \u200b\u200b- 0.9-1.2 m high, pink inflorescences, flowering in July-September.

Grows well on sunny places with well-drained fertile soils; in the shade, the stem stretches, loses strength. Propagated by seeds through seedlings, dividing the bush.

During the flowering period, as if covered with white foam, Volzhanka from afar resembles privet, astilba, spirea. Light, delicate - it is extraordinarily good!

(Aruncus dioicus) - a large short-rhizome perennial from the Rosaceae family; in nature, it is distributed from Europe to Eastern Siberia. The British call her "goat". Bush up to 2 m high and 1.2 m wide, stems are strong, erect, leafy; leaves are compound, 2-3-pinnate, on long strong petioles. Flowers are white, small, fragrant, collected in racemose inflorescences up to 70 cm long; in central Russia they bloom from mid-June to mid-July.

Ornamental variety:

• "Kneiffii" - 1.2 m high, 45 cm wide, the leaves are strongly dissected, the flowers are small, creamy, in drooping panicles.

It grows in the same place for a long time: up to 10 years or more, becoming more and more beautiful and majestic. It can grow both in partial shade (this is ideal), and in an open sunny place of the cottage, provided there is sufficiently moist fertile soil.

Needs regular watering in summer. Volzhanka dioecious tolerates a lack of moisture, but loses its decorative effect. Responsive to fertilization. The transplant works better in the fall. For the winter, the shoots are cut off, the planting sites are mulched with humus, dry leaves.

Propagated by dividing the bush in April and August, while large lignified rhizomes are cut with a sharp shovel. May be damaged by aphids and rust. Honey plant. In the presence of a number of male and female specimens, it gives self-seeding.

Heliopsis sunflower

Tall, spreading, blooming for a long time, it more and more wins the love of flower growers, and two-color (with a darker center), double, semi-double varieties add "garden bonuses" to it from professionals and amateurs. From a distance it can be mistaken for Jerusalem artichoke, and terry varieties - for cut rudbeckia "Golden Ball" or small-headed sunflower. The resemblance to Jerusalem artichoke sometimes harms heliopsis, as summer residents mercilessly poke it out with the confidence that it is a lost "earthen pear" or a wild specimen from the same Asteraceae family, which got to the site by accident.

Sunflower Heliopsis. Photo from the sitepeatfreeplants.org.uk

Heliopsis sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) - upright spreading rhizome perennial up to 1.8 m high and about 60 cm wide; originally from North America. Leaves from lanceolate to oval, up to 15 cm long. Bright yellow inflorescences-baskets up to 8 cm in diameter, fragrant; in central Russia they bloom from July to September.

Decorative varieties:

• "Ballerina" - 1 m high, semi-double baskets, golden yellow, with a darker center;

Winter-hardy: in Siberia it winters without shelter, but in some wet years it can grow out. It develops well, delighting with golden flowering, in fairly open warm places and soils rich in organic and mineral substances; watering is indispensable, especially in hot dry summers.

Preferably vegetative propagation (especially varieties) by dividing the bush in spring, autumn. Sowing in open ground is carried out in the fall, the sowing sites are mulched with humus or peat; sowing seedlings in April; at a temperature of + 20 ° C, seedlings appear in 3 weeks. Seedlings are planted in open ground in May, keeping the distance between plants 35-40 cm.

The bush requires support and a garter, as shoots can break from heavy rain or strong wind... To extend the flowering period, it is necessary to promptly remove the faded baskets. For the winter, dry shoots are cut at soil level. It grows in one place for 15-20 years.

In country style mixborders, he will solo, creating nuanced combinations with goldenrod, Jerusalem artichoke, or contrasting compositions with New Belgian asters, delphiniums, aconite. From heliopsis, you can arrange a golden curtain or a seasonal hedge, which will protect the site from wind, dust; it will look especially impressive against the background of a wooden fence. It can be used for cutting.

Hybrid hibiscus

Indoor hibiscus lovers, the Chinese rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) will undoubtedly like its relative - g. hybrid (H. x hybridus). By its appearance, you can clearly determine that in front of you is a representative of the Malvaceae family (Malvaceae).

Hybrid hibiscus. A photo
It is a perennial rhizome plant 1.5-2.5 m high and 1-1.5 m wide with numerous unbranched purple stems. Beautiful leaves are often 3-lobed, 12-15 cm long. Luxurious flowering occurs in open sunny places with loose fertile soils. Flowers are large, saucer-shaped in dissolution, up to 18 cm in diameter, from white to dark red; bloom from August until frost.

Some varieties are propagated by green cuttings in May-June.

It is quite frost-hardy, but in central Russia for the winter, the places where the hybrid hibiscus was settled are insulated with a good layer (about 15 cm) of peat or humus, and on top with dry leaves.

What else to look at on the site about hybrid hibiscus:

Gunner sleeve or sleeve

Luxurious giant in the world of herbaceous perennials: it is so unusual that botanists have singled out the genus into a separate family Gunneraceae. As our expert Sergey Kovalenko () notes, earlier her seeds could often be purchased through online stores.

Gunner's sleeveless. A photo

Gunner's sleeve or sleeve (Gunnera manicata), the British call it "the Brazilian giant rhubarb" - the largest of the gunners: it reaches a height of 2.5 m and a width of 3-4 m, so it is probably not suitable for small summer cottages. The whole plant is covered with thorns. Leaves up to 2 m in diameter (in conditions of central Russia - up to 1 m) on long petioles. At the beginning of summer, an unusual inflorescence appears with a height of more than 1.5 m.

Gunner's sleeve and its inflorescence. A photo
This is a southerner: she comes from Colombia, Brazil, withstands -15 ° C, so in central Russia for the winter it is necessary to cover 10-15 cm with a layer of humus or peat, plus spunbond on arcs or fallen leaves. In the spring, it is necessary to remove the shelter on time and build a small canopy over the gunner to protect young shoots from sunburn.

Gunner is still asleep in May. Sofievsky Park, Uman, Ukraine. A photo
Gunner can also be grown in container culture. In March, seeds are sown in peat-baked pots, as the seedlings grow, they are gently transferred into larger pots, while preserving an earthen lump, and so on to a maximum of 46 liters. The kadochnaya gunner is placed near the reservoir, it is even better to dig it into the ground right with the pot. In addition to seed reproduction, the rhizome of the Hunners is divided in the spring, the cuttings are immediately planted in the designated place, which provides free space for the development of this beautiful plant.

It is hygrophilous, so watering is regular and abundant; responsive to dressings, which are carried out every 2 weeks with a full complex mineral fertilizer.

For the winter, the gunner is brought into a room where the thermometer does not fall below +3 ... + 5 ° С, watering is reduced. Some amateurs plant it in the open ground in the spring, and in the fall (before frost) they dig out the rhizomes, transplant them into large boxes with wet sand; in winter they are stored in a dark, cool place, such as a basement.

Canadian goldenrod

Today, in country-style flower beds, in the backyards, in the utility area, near the summer toilet, shower, compost heap, you can more and more often find goldenrods blooming at the end of summer. These are sprawling rhizome perennial plants with large loose golden panicles. Most often grown s. Canadian and hybrids (they are not aggressive in seizing territory).

Canadian goldenrod. A photo
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is a perennial up to 1.2 m high from the Asteraceae family. Stems are short-hairy, leaves are narrow-lanceolate, serrate along the edge. Flowering in August-September.

The tallest hybrid - "Golden Wings" - up to 1.8 m, up to 90 cm wide, panicles up to 25 cm long; outwardly, he is very similar to z. Canadian, and only narrow specialists can see the differences. It grows and develops well on loose fertile soils; on heavy waterlogged ones it is short-lived, decorative only in the first 2-3 years of life.

Propagated by seeds; gives self-seeding, so it can weed; the decorative qualities of the variety are preserved only when dividing the bush.

In central Russia, it winters with mulching of planting sites with humus, dry leaves. In autumn, dry shoots are cut off and covered with them.

Perovskaya swan-leaved

An unusually interesting large loose plant, in harmony with silvery-leaved species and varieties. This is the summer spicy-scented leader of flower gardens; in them, perovskia supports, and more often she sets the tone - a cold violet scale.

Perovskia dark-leaved. A photo
Perovskaya swan-leaved (Perovskia atriplicifolia) is still an uncommon drought-resistant shrub of interesting habit (appearance) up to 1.2 m high and up to 1 m wide. The leaves are beautiful, complex, gray-green. The flowers are small, violet-blue, collected in tall, loose panicles up to 30 cm long; bloom in July and August. During the flowering period, the leaves are almost invisible, the plant turns into a purple oval, a "cloud" that attracts attention from afar.

Perovskia swan-leaved: leaves and inflorescences close-up. A photo

During the flowering period, it needs a garter to a stable peg, as sometimes the bush can "crumble" or "fall" on one side.

Propagated by seeds, and not freshly harvested; it is better that they were last year; in the southern regions they are sown in March-April (in the middle lane a little later - in May). Sowing is superficial; seedlings bloom in the second year.

It is relatively winter-hardy: it can withstand temperatures down to -15 ° C. She is not capricious about soils.

What else to see about Perovskiy on the site:

Rogers feathery

If you have a large suburban area, where there are semi-shady places with moist, well-drained rich soils (under trees, near shrubs, near a reservoir), then I dare suggest to settle on them Rogersia from the Saxifragaceae family.

Rogers feathery "Superba". Photo from searcharchives.vancouver.ca. Close-up of her leaf. Photo from gardensonline.com.au

Rogers feathery (Rodgersia pinnata) is a large, long-rhizome, long-lived (up to 60 years) plant up to 1.2 m high and 75 cm wide; originally from China. Leaves are compound, up to 90 cm long. Small fragrant flowers are white, pink, collected in large panicles; bloom in the middle of summer.

Rogers breathes in new life to the most remote corners of the cottage, filling the space with interesting leaves, and then flower stalks. She is just the option when one large plant is better than several medium ones or even more small ones. Propagated by freshly harvested seeds and dividing rhizomes.

Rudbeckia dissected

In my school years, this rudbeckia grew in almost every yard. It bloomed in late summer when it was time to go to school. That is why for me the bright golden rudbeckia is nostalgia for the wonderful school years.

Rudbeckia dissected "Golden Glow". A photo

Rudbeckia dissected (Rudbeckia laciniata) - a long-rhizome perennial from the Asteraceae family up to 2 m high and up to 1 m wide, forming real thickets; native to Central and Eastern North America. Leaves 10 cm long. Inflorescences-baskets up to 10 cm in diameter.

It develops well and blooms both in semi-shaded areas and in open places on well-drained moist fertile soils; during the flowering period, it needs a garter to the stakes. Propagated by dividing the bush.

Decorative varieties and shapes:

• "Golden Glow" - 1.8 m high and 2-2.5 m wide;

• var. hortensia - double flowers.

Warning! Under optimal conditions, the plant is aggressive: it grows quickly, forming large thickets.

What else to see about dissected rudbeckia on the site:

Another tall representative of the Asteraceae family, but more rare than rudbeckia; she comes from Southeast Europe, the Caucasus, the Carpathians.

(Telekia speciosa) is a short-rhizome perennial herb that forms columnar bushes up to 2 m high and up to 1 m wide. Leaves are oval, with a heart-shaped base, 30 cm long, on petioles 20 cm long, fragrant. Yellow baskets with a diameter of 6-9 cm; bloom from the second half of June.

Abundant flowering only in well-lit areas with moist, loose fertile soils. Propagated by seeds through seedlings, which are grown for a long time, by dividing the bush. Relatively short-lived.

Perennial tapeworms are favorites of autumn

They are especially appreciated for their late flowering.

Aconite, or wrestler

From a distance, blooming aconites can be mistaken for delphiniums: the same stately, with beautiful carved leaves and high peduncles. Aconites are representatives of the Ranunculaceae family, the unsurpassed creators of the pure blue and violet cold colors.

Aconite Karmikhel (Aconitum carmichaeli) - upright short-rhizome perennial up to 1.8 m high and 30-40 cm wide; originally from Central China. Beautiful palmate leaves, purple, blue flowers, collected in a loose brush; in central Russia they bloom in September-October.

Aconite Karmikhel Arendsii. Photo from hillfarmnursery.com. Aconite Karmichel Barkerrs Variety. Photo from the site edenvivace.com

Decorative varieties:

• "Arendsii" syn. "Arends" - 1.2 m high, sturdy flower stalks, deep blue flowers; bloom in the middle of summer;

• "Barker's Variety" - deep purple flowers;

• "Kelmscott" - lavender-blue flowers bloom in mid-autumn.

Propagated by dividing the bush, less often by seeds.

Aconite nodule (Aconitum napellus) - upright short-rhizome perennial 1.5 m high and 30 cm wide; originally from Northern and Central Europe.

The British call this flower "monastic", probably finding the similarity between the flower and the hood of a monk's clothing. Leaves 5-7-lobed, dark green, shiny. The flowers are bright blue, collected in a brush; bloom in the middle (end) of summer.

Aconite nodule"Albidum"... Photo from the site.rhs.org.uk. Aconite nodule"Carneum"... Photo from garden-en.com

Decorative varieties:

• "Albidum" - gray-white flowers;
• "Carneum" - flowers are pale pink, brighter in cool summer.

They develop better in semi-shady summer cottages with rich drained soil: near trees, shrubs, in mixborders, where typical species with blue flowers create harmonious contrasting compositions with rudbeckia and geleniums.

Aconite with rudbeckia and helenium. A photo
They are not capricious, they love both mineral feeding. It is advisable to loosen the soil around them well and mulch after watering. If faded inflorescences are removed in time, then flowering can be significantly extended.

Propagated vegetatively: by dividing rhizomes in spring and autumn (in the first half of September). They grow quickly, so it is advisable to divide every 3-4 years. Propagated by seeds much less often. They are sown before winter or after prolonged stratification; seedlings bloom for 2-3 years.

Warning! Aconites are poisonous.

Anemone hybrid or Japanese

She captivates the hearts of summer residents with a luxurious autumn bloom, like a late love ...

Anemone hybrid in autumn. A photo
Anemone hybrid or Japanese (Anemone x hybrida, A. japonica) is a hybrid between the Hubei variety Japanese anemone and a. grape-leaved A. hupehensis var. japonica x A. vitifolia). The rhizome hybrid turned out to be loose, delicate, high - up to 1.5 m and wide - it grows to infinity; the bases of the shoots are often lignified. Basal leaves 10-15 cm long, stem leaves 5-12 cm long. Flowers are pale pink, white, pale crimson, up to 9 cm in diameter, collected in openwork umbrellas 10-15; open from August to the end of October. There are semi-double varieties.

Autumn anemones. A photo
Look great on drained rich soils, both in sunny and semi-shady places. They grow without problems up to 5-6 years without transplantation. Transplanted in the spring.

Propagated by dividing rhizomes, seeds: sowing in open ground in the fall, diving is carried out in the spring of next year. If sown in spring, then the seeds must be stratified, the seedlings bloom for 2-3 years.

These tall anemones are beautiful in groups, massifs near trees, bushes, near water bodies.

Brugmansia fragrant

This tall beauty and her hybrids are increasingly winning the hearts of summer residents, since well-developed specimens have up to 80-100 open fragrant flowers at the same time, especially strongly fragrant in the evening and night time. In the southern regions, it is cultivated in the open field with a small cover with its own leaves, and in central Russia - in a tub culture; the winter temperature minimum of brugmansia is + 7 ° C, with a frost of -3 ° C it already freezes over. It is especially valuable due to late autumn flowering, which (in some years with warm weather) on the southern coast of Crimea (SCC) and the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar Territory continues in winter.

Brugmansia is fragrant in December. A photo
Brugmansia fragrant (Brugmansia suaveolens) is a member of the Solanaceae family. To be precise, botanists classify it as a secondary woody shrub. Usually it is up to 2.5 m high and up to 1-2 m wide. The leaves are oblong, up to 20 cm long. Flowers are white, yellow, pink, lilac, funnel-shaped, with prominent relief edges, upside down, up to 30 cm long; bloom in autumn, from the end of August.

It grows well and blooms both in open and semi-shady places of summer cottages with rich loose soils. They live in optimal conditions for a long time: according to my observations, this beauty has been growing in the Lower Park of Nikitsky Garden for more than 30 years! In culture in Sochi, it is short-lived, every 3 years it needs to be replaced with new specimens grown from cuttings. Our expert Elena () has a personal experience of breeding brugmansia by cuttings, which she rooted in water in the spring.

Tubs with brugmansia are a real exotic decoration of any summer cottage. It is good to place them in the most ceremonial places.

Warning! The plant is poisonous, therefore, if the family has small children, it is better not to grow it in the country.

Cortaderia Cello, or pampas grass

Among the autumn perennial giants, there are very spectacular cereals, which we have already talked about more than once on the site. These are pampas grass and miscanthus.

Cortaderia Cello. A photo
Cortaderia Cello, or pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is a dioecious rhizome perennial, growing up to 3 m in height in the south. The leaves are glaucous, tough, forming large bumps. Male cream panicles are longer and narrower, while female ones are wider and fluffier. There are decorative varieties with bright pink "sultans" of inflorescences. Grows rapidly under optimal conditions. It is good along the path leading into the depths of the dacha.

Miscanthus chinese (Miscanthus sinensis) - rhizome perennial 2-3 m high and up to 1.2 m wide; originally from Southeast Asia. Leaves are linear, 1.2 m long. Pyramidal panicles 40 cm long appear in autumn. A lot of high decorative varieties. It is especially gorgeous in sunny places with rich loose moist soils; puts up even with heavy, waterlogged.

It grows in one place for a long time, it is not divided or transplanted unnecessarily. Propagated by dividing the bush in the spring.

American phytolacca

Last fall, she was a favorite on the site: more than a dozen questions, starting with her identification, were asked about phytollac, or lakonos. She looked great in all the photos.

American phytolacca. A photo

Also, this guide will help you not to harm the flowers, not to be disappointed in floriculture, and also to create a corner of flower joy on your site, with your own hands.

An interesting experience for a gardener of any level will be the creation of a monochrome flower bed with plants kept in a single color scheme. You can start, for example, with yellow, which encourages and gives strength.

It is better to take perennial plants for a flower bed, so that the man-made "sun" of your garden can delight you for more than one season, but for many years.

To make a flower garden of yellow perennials look the most harmonious, the height of the plants should be taken into account. For example, charming dwarf irises are best planted in the same flower bed with crocuses, and rudbeckia, whose height varies from 1.5 to 2 meters, with elecampane.

Below you will find a convenient list of perennials, divided into three groups depending on their height: tall - 1-2.5 meters, medium-sized - 30-100 cm and undersized - up to 30 cm.

Tall perennials

Tall perennials are able to bring a touch of personality to. Here are some examples of the most effective members of the group:

Buzulnik or Ligularia (Ligularia) is a perennial plant with small, but very cute flowers, collected in long inflorescences. Reaches a height of 1.5 meters.

Elecampane or Yellow (Inula) is a beautiful perennial, the flowers of which are a bit like aster. Plant height varies from 1.5 to 2 meters.

Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia) is a herbaceous plant with bright colors of rich yellow or orange... Height - from 50 cm to 3 m.

Medium-sized perennials

Among the medium-sized perennial flowers that look advantageous both in single and in group plantings, we can distinguish:

Stunted perennials

A real joy for the gardener. Beautiful and at the same time not whimsical flowers to care for, can be planted in single beds, rockeries, used as part of flower beds, and also decorate borders or others with them.

Low-growing species of perennials look great and along garden paths and as part of mixborders. In general, the choice of a place for planting these plants is a matter of taste for the summer resident.

Low-growing perennials, including yellow ones, include:

• Adonis or Yellow flower (Adonis) is a perennial herb with a height of 20-30 cm, but can reach 40 cm. It blooms with single flowers of a golden hue.
• (Hyacinthus) - bulbous perennial with flowers collected in graceful brushes. Height - up to 30 cm.
• Primrose or Primula (Primula) is a flowering herb. The variety of primrose species is so great that almost any color can be chosen. Height - from 10 to 40 cm.
• Saffron or Crocus (Crocus) - these babies have a poorly developed stem, therefore they rise very low above the ground. However, this is completely compensated for by beautiful flowers, the number of which from one corm can even reach 2-3 pieces.

Types and varieties of yellow perennials

When arranging a "yellow" flower bed, it is important to choose the right types and varieties of some perennials, since not all of them are of the desired color. For example, tulips, peonies or chrysanthemums have a huge variety of colors and shades.

That is why you should prepare for the search and purchase of the desired species in advance, and the list below will help you with this: The absolute advantage of a yellow flower garden is its sunny and positive appearance. As you know, yellow tones up, invigorates and even cheers. And some "inhabitants" of your yellow flower bed, in addition to their beauty, also have medicinal properties (for example, elecampane).

If all the plants in the flower garden are perennial, then you will not need to buy new seedlings and seeds every year and then spend a lot of time planting them.

Perennials are much less whimsical than annuals, but they also need your attention: a competent choice of a place for planting and soil, a thoughtful arrangement of plants in height, photophilous and moisture-loving, periodic transplantation.

Perennial plants take some time to grow and bloom, so your flower bed will not immediately take on a finished look. It will take a while. Some plants may die due to too dry summers or unsuccessful wintering, so you will have to replant them.

Flower garden care

An example of a well-groomed "yellow" flower garden

Having chosen plants for the "yellow" flower bed, familiarize yourself with the conditions of their planting and maintenance. The land for perennials must be prepared in the fall, and loosening and planting must be done in the spring. You can add peat compost to sandy soil, and sand or compost soil to clay soil.

When planting and transplanting perennials, focus on the time of their flowering. and in summer, plant in spring, and those that bloom in summer, replant in late August or early September.

It is important to know: when planting perennials, remove all diseased, dried out and rotten roots and leaves. It is better to do this in the shade, otherwise the roots may dry out.

Autumn (excluding evergreens). The stem of plants is usually left at a height of 10-15 cm. Before wintering, some plants can be covered with leaves so that they do not freeze.

Feed your perennials every year to ensure they grow well and bloom well. Top dressing should be stopped at the end of July. Do not forget about regular transplanting, as in crowded conditions, plants are more likely to get sick and may even die.

Particular attention should be paid to bulbous perennials. They need to be planted in the fall, and in the summer - watch out for dying leaves and do not remove them until they dry completely, otherwise this will greatly weaken the plant.

If you follow all these simple rules, the "sunny" flower bed will delight you for more than one year. Now that you are convinced that planning a monochrome yellow flower garden is a snap, it's time to try creating your own.

This is one of the most unpretentious plants, although in severe winters in the middle lane in places open to the north winds it can freeze slightly, which leads to a lack of flowering for the next two years. Therefore, it is advisable to grow creeping forms in areas of "high risk".

In gardens, forsythia can often be found hanging with persistent drooping stems that are directed along the wall of a house, gazebo or fence, but more often it is grown as an ordinary shrub up to 2.5 m high, which is placed singly or in continuous flowering compositions.

For a yellow palette, low early flowering bulbous plants (10 cm high) with bright yellow large flowers are the best fit.

The most decorative of them iris Dunford, whose flowers appear in April-May before the leaves appear and has a pleasant aroma. An attractive dwarf iris, 15-20 cm high, with yellow flowers that appear in early May.

The best varieties among them: "Ola Kala" - bright yellow, "Coraband" - two-color with a light yellow "top" and white with a yellow border "bottom". Rhizomatous iris, or yellow (Iris pseudacorus) - the most unpretentious and tenacious of irises, tall, with xiphoid leaves and bright yellow flowers - will perfectly fit into the "sunny" palette.

Dissolving simultaneously with iris and even sometimes ahead of it, makes a noticeable contribution to the yellow range of early spring spring man (Eranthis) with golden yellow flowers (diameter 2.5 cm).

Of tulips the varieties "West Point" (lily-colored class) with a golden-yellow flower of an elegant shape and "Maja" (fringed class) with lemon-yellow petals, lighter fringes and with a bright yellow center are the best suited.

In the inflorescence there are 5-8 flowers up to 15 cm in diameter, plant height - 90-100 cm.

Garden forms with golden and variegated leaves are interesting.

In June, lovely fragrant flowers bloom chubushniki, without which a rare Russian garden can do. The overwhelming majority of chubushniki have green leaves, but yellow-leaved form of chubushnik (Philadelphus coronarius "Aureus") may be of interest to yellow lovers, the crown of which stands out clearly against the background of dark green foliage.

Many gardeners would like to plant incomparable rhododendrons, unfortunately, rarely found in the middle zone of the country due to extreme sensitivity to frost. At the same time, the culture of the golden rhododendron (Rhododendron aureum) is quite acceptable - a creeping shrub blooming in May-June with funnel-shaped golden flowers (diameter 3 cm). Sometimes it blooms again in autumn.

It blooms in late May - June, propagates by sowing seeds in spring and autumn.

And here's another sun lover - goldenrod (Solidago), also called gold, golden rod, requires careful handling. Tall varieties of this plant, quickly forming impenetrable thickets of bushes with densely leafy, woody by the end of summer, straight shoots up to 1.5-2 m high, are able to fill the entire flower garden in a year or two, displacing their neighbors. If you do not limit them in time, after 2-3 years you will have to cut down the rhizomes of goldenrod with an ax: they quickly form tightly woven continuous layers up to 30-50 cm deep, next to which there is no place for anyone, not even weeds.

However, there are undersized, very decorative and not aggressive varieties of goldenrod that will undoubtedly decorate any flower garden. These are Baby Gold (about 65 cm high), Perkeo (60 cm), Lemore (45 cm, lemon yellow) and Golden Thumb (30 cm).

The difficulty of timely limiting the expansion or seizure of territory by tall goldenrods often lies in the extraordinary similarity of their stems and leaves with the very decorative autumn helenium (Helenium autumnale). And only in July and early August, when the goldenrod and helenium buds appear, the differences between these perennials become obvious.

If spontaneous reproduction in the garden can be avoided, goldenrod makes a worthy contribution to the garden's palette in June-September with its yellow baskets, collected in long panicles, smelling of honey. In addition, it lasts a long time in the cut and is able to decorate any bouquet of autumn flowers.

In May-June, unpretentious ones still bloom swimwear, not demanding of the sun: if only the soil was moist (but without stagnant water) and not too poor. Hybrid swimsuits with large pale lemon flowers and varieties of the European swimsuit (Trollius europaeus) with dull yellow flowers are good. In one place the bather grows diligently for 5-6 years, after which the bushes divide or propagate the plant with freshly harvested seeds.

For lovers of bright carpets made of flowers, the perennial ground cover, which is rarely found in gardens, is suitable. sunflower monotonous (Helianthemum nummularium). It forms a dense veil of recumbent, heavily pubescent stems 15-20 cm high with leathery small leaves covered with gray felt underneath. Golden flowers, collected in a curl, open in the morning only in sunny weather, crumbling by noon. But they are being replaced by new ones - this is how it continues throughout June and July.

Sunflower is unpretentious, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, easily propagated by seeds, including self-sowing. Sunflower carpets will decorate not only curbs and rock gardens, but also slopes and talus.

Speaking of the ground cover plants that form the yellow palette of the summer garden, one cannot but pay tribute to the perennial stonecrop caustic (Sedum acre): it lines the soil with branched stems with fleshy awl leaves, above which corymbose inflorescences of numerous small bright yellow flowers rise. Flowering lasts from June to mid-July. Young shoots are formed until late autumn. Sedum is easy to propagate by dividing the bushes in early spring or autumn, as well as green cuttings and seeds, but in this case flowering occurs only for 2-3 years.

Spring and the first half of summer will be decorated with large bright golden-yellow (up to 5.5 cm in diameter) flowers pansies (variety "Helios") with elegant wavy edges of the petals. Very interesting and winter-hardy variety "Wintersonne" with a compact bush (25-27 cm) and large flowers (4.5-5.5 cm) lemon-golden color with dark brown spots on the lower petals.

Among the tall ornamental plants that can organically fit into the yellow range of the garden, it should be noted the perennial mullein (Verbascum blattaria) 170-220 cm high with paniculate inflorescences of medium-sized yellow flowers that bloom in July.

A powerful ornamental plant of an ornamental plan with huge basal leaves and large baskets of radiant yellow flowers - it blooms in July. These background plants are appropriate for large areas where, in single groups, they look good on the lawn.

Deservedly popular rudbeckia... In addition to the tall (up to 2 m) variety of dissected rudbeckia (Rudbeckia laciniata), which blooms from June to mid-September with semi-double or densely double yellow-orange-golden inflorescences, known as "golden balls", one can note the beautiful rudbeckia (R. speciosa) with dominant yellow - orange and yellow-golden tones, sometimes with the addition of red-brown color.

Among the late summer lily of undoubted interest is the "Connecticut King" variety from the group of Asian hybrids (115 cm high) with cup-shaped bright yellow flowers (16 cm diameter), collected up to 30 pieces in dense inflorescences. This lily blooms for 20 days starting in late July.

An indispensable part of the yellow palette are annuals - nasturtium, dimorphoteka, calendula, etc.

Deserves more distribution annual sunflower, or helianthus, ornamental species of which attract large inflorescences and powerful stems more than 2 m high. The diameter of the "flower" reaches 36 cm. Flowering lasts from July to September. The sunflower looks great both in groups and in single plantings.

Most interesting nasturtium are undersized or dwarf varieties with yellow flowers, among which the varieties "Golden Globe" with a compact bush (25 cm) and double flowers and "Goldglanz" with creeping stems and large double golden flowers with yellow strokes on the upper petals.

Beautiful compositions of blooming antirrinumsknown as snapdragon... The varieties with yellow flowers are suitable for our range: Yellow ", which blooms in June-July, and" Super Jet ", which opens its flowers in July.

It is of undoubted interest and deserves a wider distribution of the two-year evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), called night candle or primrose. This unusual plant is classified as a plant whose flowers open in the evening, and during the day - only in cloudy weather. In contrast to the sun-loving purslane and dimorphic, which were almost invisible in the rainy, cloudy summer of the year 2000, the evening primrose candle, like an everlasting lighthouse, "shone" at night with large bright yellow flowers located on a needle-like stem from 90 to 120 cm high. give off a pleasant aroma.

Flowering lasts from July to October. If this plant does not yet live in your garden, be sure to plant it. Evening primrose seeds are sown in late May-June. Young seedlings require cultivated soils and a warm location. Be sure to cover the seedlings by winter. Plant the plants in semi-shady places, under trees, so that evening primrose and in the daytime opens its glossy bright flowers... Plant a group of evening primrose near the porch or gazebo - very soon you will see the reflection of its flowers in the dark and you will feel their subtle scent.

Perennial is interesting heliopsis rough, or sunflower (Heliopsis scabra). It is rarely found in home gardens, but it deserves more attention. Its simple, semi-double or double golden-yellow "flowers" bloom profusely until frost. The height of this plant is 80-90 cm. Heliopsis is propagated by dividing 4-5-year-old bushes in spring and autumn, green cuttings in May or seeds in spring.

Completes the flowering of the ornamental garden chrysanthemum Korean. It easily tolerates light frosts, resuming flowering, while many biennials and perennials have long since faded. It is the chrysanthemum that sends the last farewell greetings of the outgoing summer and meets winter. Distinguished by great resistance to cold weather, it is distributed to the north compared to other perennials and is capable of giving seeds in these areas.

For a garden with a yellow palette suitable non-double variety "Autumn", blooming from August to frost with bright yellow inflorescences with a characteristic honey aroma (diameter 7 cm) on a strong compact bush 55-60 cm high, and "Border yellow" with fragrant bright golden inflorescences (diameter 6.5 cm) on a small bush 45 cm high.
