What flowers appear first in spring. What flowers bloom in spring? later views

As a child, my parents often took me to the forest for blueberries. Today, I grow many primroses myself near the house, and all the guests are sure that these modest kids make the yard the most comfortable and “warmest” on the whole street. In botany, primroses are a specific species (you will learn about them below). But we gardeners also call primroses many other early spring plants that bloom when the snow lies. I will show a photo of each of them, and also talk about their breeding.

• Almost all the first spring flowers are not demanding to care for.
• These plants love well-lit places, as well as moist soil (but without puddles).
• On the same bed, you can “make friends” with perennials that bloom in late spring. They will replace the primroses when they fade.
• Bulb flowers should be planted in the fall (exception: crocuses and hyacinths). As for root plants (such as lungwort, hellebore), they can be remembered in the spring.
• Some species of wild plants are still practically uncultivated. The fact is that they take root very poorly in kindergartens. These include: forest anemone, mountain adonis and bathing suit.
• The best types of cultivated primroses are: crocuses, hazel grouse, irises, hyacinths.
• Varietal types of flowers, which were once wild, amaze with their colors. Yes, some snowdrops can be pink, bluebells can be white and pink.

Facts you didn't know about these flowers

• Many primroses are considered endangered in the wild, therefore they are listed in the Red Book. You can not pick in the forest (neither for sale, nor even for a bouquet) hellebore or wintering, primrose, liverwort, large-flowered corydalis. Many species of snowdrops are also under threat. Although, of course, no one forbids you to buy seeds or bulbs, grow these babies in the country, and make bouquets from them.
• If blueberries are forest flowers, then there are also steppe primroses: backache, single-flowered tulip, naked holly.
• Some of these plants are used not only for decorative purposes, but also for medicinal purposes. Yes, lungwort is a diuretic, expectorant, and also a natural antiseptic, spring primrose is a cold remedy, and mealy primrose is our hair's best friend.

Snowdrop (galanthus)

A cold-resistant flower that appears simply from under the snow, even if it is still frosty outside. In the wild, it grows mainly in forests.

It grows from a bulb, it is not picky about the soil. True, when the earth is not loose and moisture stagnates in it, rotting can begin in the bulb. This baby does not need to be watered (exception: little snowy winter and dry spring).

In the garden, it is better to plant it under bushes and trees.

It reproduces with the help of baby bulbs. It is worth transplanting them in the summer months.

Scilla (scilla)

Another forest dweller blooming blue flowers at the end of March.

This is a perennial plant that reproduces by dividing bulbs, as well as self-seeding. Plant them only once, and they will “register” on your site for many years. These kids are not capricious, they grow up on lawns, flower beds or gardens with equal success. The soil is fertile.

Important: they are not afraid of frost, but if the winter promises to be very cold, it is better to “wrap” the flower garden with them in autumn with fallen leaves.

crocuses

Blooms in early April.

Most gardeners in one flower bed combine different types (that is, shades) of crocuses, so the flower garden looks especially elegant. Also, these flowers are usually planted against the background of decorative stones. They look no less successful on the lawn, but there is one important point: it will be late to mow such a lawn, when the last leaf of primroses fades.

Their bulbs are planted in the fall, and it doesn’t matter if they are in the shade or in the sun (although in a well-lit area, the flowers will grow juicier, brighter, and, moreover, earlier than the “shadow ones”). The bulbs overwinter in the ground (in the cold season, a flower bed with them can be mulched).

They reproduce by dividing the bulbs.

Vesennik (erantis)

They bloom very early, even more often than snowdrops. Flowering can last up to 14 days.

They like rich, moist soil. In dry spring, it is better to water them a little. It is better to plant under bushes or trees (but not conifers).

This perennial flower propagated by seeds. It is predominantly self-seeding. A plant that hatches from a seed will bloom only in the third year.

Muscari (mouse hyacinth)

Perennial bulbous plant. Likes both shade and sun. The main thing is that the soil must be drained, as the bulb is afraid of excess moisture.

Blooms from April to May. Inflorescences can be white, pinkish, blue, blue.

Important! This flower can behave un-gentlemanly, quickly spreading to the site. Therefore, it is better to plant it in a closed flower bed.

Primrose

A plant with over 500 types of color (!). It can be planted both in a flower bed and in pots.

It starts blooming in April.

He likes nitrogen (in early spring) and phosphorus (when flowers open) fertilizers. The soil should be moist, well-drained, without puddles.

Propagated by dividing the bush. This should be done when all the flowers have gone (the first month of summer).

Spring primroses (spring primrose, rams, lady's hands)

Forest herbaceous perennial plant.

Despite the promising name, it blooms from April to June.

It has a root, propagated by seeds and root division.

The soil is unpretentious - it can be loamy, clayey or drained. Loves moisture, so it should be watered often. It is better to plant in partial shade.

Interestingly, the leaves of this plant are considered edible. They can be added to cabbage soup or salads.

Lungwort

Low-growing perennial plant, not afraid of even deep shade. However, if you have the opportunity, it is better to plant a flower in partial shade. Remember: in this place, the plant can “register” not for a year or two, but for several decades.

The soil likes fertile, slightly acidic.

Propagated by dividing the bush (this "procedure" also helps thin out the bed, which is important for this flower).

Lungwort can be lightly watered, once fertilized with mineral top dressing.

Backache (sleep-grass)

The earliest species of this plant pleases with its color from April to May. Not afraid of frost.

Likes well-drained calcareous soil.

Unlike other primroses, this flower is whimsical. For example, it will not grow in alkaline soil, as well as in dampness. He likes sunny places, frequent top dressing (nitrogen, lime, less often phosphorus and potassium).

Propagated by seeds (they can be collected in late May - early June). They should be sown in early summer. Blooms in the second year of life. It has a strong rhizome.

Lesser known primroses

Do you want your spring flowerbed to cause not only admiring glances, but also surprise? Choose flowers whose names even experienced flower growers may not know. For example…

Iridodictium (snowdrop irises)

Bulbous perennial low (up to 10 cm) plants that can also hatch from under the snow. Sometimes they resemble simple irises, but irises bloom in May-June, and iridodictium in early spring (March).

There are different colors: blue and blue, purple and purple, orange and red, sometimes with colored spots and stripes.

Not afraid of rocky soil. These small beauties are planted in groups in the flower garden.

As for care, you can handle this flower if you have already grown tulips. Iridodictium loves a lot of sunlight, light soils, a lot of food. Plant them in the first month of autumn, along with tulips. When the plant has faded, it is customary to dig it up. Then separate the bulbs (one gives up to two babies).

Hellebore (Christmas rose, Christ flower)

This plant even has its own legend: many believe that it was the hellebore that the shepherds brought as a gift to baby Jesus. It was also believed that if you plant a plant under the window, black magic and damage will not enter the house.

It is an evergreen perennial herb. Blooms after snowdrops and crocuses. It can bloom with light frosts (up to -5 degrees).

It can please with various shades of flowers, have both one and two rows of petals.

It is not demanding on the ground, loves partial shade (so plant it under a tree, but remember - the flower does not like transplants, so it will grow in this place for many years). Propagated by seeds, you can also divide the bushes.

Anemone (anemone)

These flowers come in different colors. It is easy to confuse red anemones with poppies, but they appear in spring, while poppies appear in summer.

In the wild, they grow in forests and bloom in white, covering the glades with a carpet.

In the garden, they like nutritious (with humus), alkaline, moist soil. They grow from the root, multiply by dividing it (this should be done in early spring). For the winter, the flower bed should be mulched, as the roots lie high and can freeze.

Liverwort (coppice)

So named because the shape of the leaves resembles this organ.

Grows in forests. Flowers can be pink, bright blue.

It has a root, it reproduces itself (you can separate the bushes). It should be planted in late spring or early autumn. Afraid of open places (with direct sunlight), loves moisture.

Grouse

A perennial plant with a bulb, a relative of the lily.

The very best garden views hazel grouse imperial and chess are considered (pictured).

There are many cultivated, garden primroses. But still, wild snowdrops are the very first to bloom.

Despite the fact that beautiful, bright varietal flowers and shrubs delight the eye in almost every garden, we cannot pass indifferently past their modest forest relatives. Surrounding ourselves with lush floral splendor, we lose the thread of natural harmony. And simple forest flowers give us it again. This is probably why many of us want to move a “piece of forest” to our site. And it is quite possible to do this, because wild plants, for the most part, are unpretentious. They are well adapted to their natural habitat. They do not need weeding, additional watering, artificial pollination.

However, when planting forest flowers, one very important factor must be taken into account - their compatibility with new conditions. For example, if a tall bell, accustomed to shady, damp places, is planted in a sunny flower bed, then in the first year it will become small, and in a year it may not bloom at all. And his neighbors marigold, wintergreen and calla in such conditions can die immediately. Also, not everyone normally tolerate loosening the soil. Weeds around the two-leafed love should not be weeded out, but periodically cut short. But wild-growing bulbs are normal for weeding. Some flowers in a cramped bed may not have enough space, while others can multiply very strongly and will be difficult to get rid of. Therefore, before planting wild plants in your area, you need to study how they grow in their natural habitats.

Forest plants prefer moist soil with a large proportion of leafy soil. It is necessary to plan their planting in such a way that the chosen place is as close as possible to their natural growing conditions. If the plant becomes larger every year, grows and blooms profusely, then these conditions are suitable for it.

Let's get to know some of the green inhabitants of the forest closer.

In spring, snow still lies in the forest, and the first leaves and flowers are already visible on the thawed patches. There is no need to introduce such inhabitants of the spring forest as snowdrop, blueberry, muscari, crocuses, lilies of the valley, violets, anemones. They are well known to everyone, breeders have bred a lot ornamental varieties these plants. In spring, you can also find such forest flowers as sleep-grass, lungwort, marigold, ivy-shaped budra, fragrant violet, spring primrose, fragrant woodruff and many others. Let's get acquainted with some of the more rare guests of garden plots.

Liverwort

Noble liverwort (Hepática nobilis)- the Ranunculaceae family, a small herbaceous perennial (5-15 cm). Flowering occurs in April, the color of the flowers is from whitish to blue-violet. One flower does not fade for almost a week. The diameter of the corolla is 2-4 cm. The three-lobed leaves vaguely resemble the human liver in their shape (hence the name). The leaves remain under the snow all winter (only fade a little). Helps to keep warm and survive spring frosts numerous fluffy hairs on the lower part of the leaves and on the petioles. After flowering, a fruit is formed with seeds about 8 mm in diameter. It is odorless and attracts insects with its pollen. Most often, this flower can be found in a spruce forest. Therefore, an open place is suitable for the noble liverwort, where the sun will be from early morning until 2 pm. The soil needs loose, rich in humus. Is medicinal. Often this plant is confused with snowdrop and blueberry.

Corydalis

Corydalis (Corydalis)- Dymyankovye family, herbaceous plant 10-20 cm high. Dissected leaves. Inflorescences - a dense brush. The flowers are sometimes white, but more often red-purple or light purple. Flowering continues from April to June. Tuberous plant. Grows in mixed forests. Very resistant to frost, as well as pests and diseases. Prefers slightly acidic humus soils. It multiplies quickly, does not like stagnant water. Has many types.

Chistyak spring

Spring Chistyak (Ficaria)- family Ranunculaceae, low perennial (10-30 cm). Lacquer leaves in the form of a hoof of emerald green color. The flowers are small bright yellow glossy stars. Blooms one of the first along with snowdrops. Looks like a small bouquet. It looks bright and delightful against the backdrop of the still bare earth. But it multiplies very quickly and can become a weed. By the time the seeds ripen, it becomes poisonous. medicinal plant.

summer flowers

In summer, the flowers in the forest surprise with their variety. These are gentian, leucanthemum, wild bergenia, Veronica officinalis, bluebells, forget-me-nots, cornflowers, moonwort, common sorrel, wild poppy and many others. Let's take a closer look at some of them.

Fireweed angustifolium or willow-herb (Epilobium angustifolium L.)- Onagric family. The stem of the fireweed is erect with lanceolate leaves, it will grow from 50 cm to 2 m. The inflorescence is a brush of large pinkish-crimson flowers that bloom gradually from bottom to top. Flowering occurs in the second half of summer and lasts about 30 days. It grows in forests, on the edges, conflagrations, clearings, slopes of ravines. Unpretentious, frost-resistant. The rhizome grows very strongly, so it needs to be thinned out before the seeds ripen. Amazing honey plant. It has a lot of useful medicinal properties.

Kupena or Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum multiflorum)- the Liliaceae family, a herbaceous plant with a curved stem 60-70 cm. Oval leaves (10-12 cm) are arranged on the stem in symmetrical pairs. Axillary flowers, whitish-cream in shape, resemble elongated bells up to 1.5 cm. They practically do not smell. Kupena remotely resembles a large lily of the valley. Blooms in early June. Then black berries form in place of the flowers. The shoot dies off every year. Kupena is unpretentious, but does not like dry places. A wild plant can be propagated on the site by dividing the rhizome. Toxic. Has medicinal properties. Grows in deciduous-spruce forests.

Blue or azure cyanosis (Polemónium caerúleum)- the Sinyukhov family. The stem is erect, from 40 cm to 1 m. The leaves are oblong, pinnate. Blooms in June-July. The inflorescence is a panicle of beautiful blue flowers. After flowering, the plant does not look decorative, it is recommended to cut it immediately. After cutting, it quickly recovers and becomes pretty again. The cyanosis is winter-hardy and unpretentious, but loves low-lying areas where groundwater is close. In nature, it grows in forest-steppe zones in damp places. Has medicinal properties.

Meadowsweet

Meadowsweet or meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria)- the Pink family, has an erect stem, reaching two meters. Dark green large three-lobed leaves are pubescent below. When rubbed, they emit a characteristic cucumber smell. The inflorescence is an upright panicle of many small white-pink or pale yellow flowers. Blooms in mid-summer. Has a very strong aroma. Thick, creeping rhizome forms new shoots by August. Meadowsweet is a cold-resistant and moisture-loving plant. Distributed in forests and forest-steppes, in humid places. Excellent honey plant. It is a medicinal plant.

Among the spring primroses, the leading position is undoubtedly occupied by bulbous flowers. And it is well deserved. After all…

Autumn flowers

In the autumn forest, which is full of bright colors, the flowers become less flashy and not so noticeable, they also bloom in autumn, but in a special, more modest way. What flowers can be found in the forest in autumn? Basically, these are summer autumn flowers that continue to bloom, gentian, meadow calico, calico, clover, cinquefoil, oak maryannik, cumin, umbrella hawk, autumn kulbaba, black cohosh and others.

At the beginning of autumn in the forest, the flowers of oregano, goldenrod, twisted bluebell, violets are delighting us with farewell to summer.

Oregano or oregano (Origanum vulgaris L.)- family Lamiaceae, a small perennial (30 to 80 cm). Small two-lipped flowers are collected in oval spikelets, which at the end of the branches are collected in panicles. The color of the flowers is pinkish-purple, rarely white. Blooms all summer and early autumn. In August, the seeds begin to ripen. The plant is cold-resistant, undemanding, but does not grow well on heavy acidic soils. Light-loving. Distributed very widely. It grows in the steppes, in clearings and forest edges, on the slopes of ravines. He loves pine and aspen forest areas. It has a pronounced pleasant aroma and a bitter-spicy taste. It is a medicinal plant and is used in cooking as a spice. It is used in the design of mixborders, rockeries, discounts.

goldenrod

Common goldenrod or golden rod (Compositae)- Asteraceae family, perennial with reddish stems from 40 cm to 1 m. Oblong-oval leaves with small teeth along the edge. Paniculate inflorescences are collected from baskets, which, in turn, consist of small yellow flowers. From the second half of summer until the end of September, they bloom. It grows in forests, on the slopes of ravines, on the edges, clearings, clearings. Unpretentious. Sometimes requires a garter. If you want to avoid self-seeding, then immediately after flowering, you should cut it off. Goldenrod is possible, also suitable for flower beds and mixborders.

Twisted bell

Twisted or assembled bell (Campanula glomerata L.)- family Bellflowers, perennial up to half a meter high. It has broad lanceolate leaves. Capitate inflorescences resemble small bouquets, consisting of small blue-violet bells (sometimes white). Blooms all summer and early autumn. Unpretentious. It grows on the edges and clearings in the forest, as well as among shrubs. Medicinal plant. AT landscape design used for planting under trees, in flower beds, natural gardens and for cutting.

Violet tricolor

Violet tricolor or pansies(Viola tricolor L.) and field violet (V. arvensis Murr.)- the Violet family, annual and biennial herbaceous plants with an erect, slightly ribbed stem 10-45 cm. The leaves are ovate in shape and have jagged edges. The flowers are solitary, irregular, consisting of 5 petals, located on a long pedicel. The violet has a tricolor long corolla. The upper two petals are purple or dark blue, the two side petals are of the same color, only lighter, and the lower large petal with a spur is light yellow (maybe with a purple edge). And in violets, the field corolla is not long and the flowers are smaller. They also differ in color. The field violet has white upper petals, while the middle and lower petals are bright yellow. Violets bloom from May to early October. It is found everywhere on the edges and clearings in the forest, in forest belts, as well as along roads. Violet is undemanding and hardy. Soils prefer neutral. Does not like fertilizer with fresh manure! Care for wild violets is the same as for its ornamental varieties. It is a medicinal plant.

But there are flowers in the forest that bloom in autumn, these are autumn colchicum. The name itself suggests that it blooms at the wrong time, not like all its bulbous counterparts. He confused spring with autumn.

Colchicum autumn

Colchicum autumn or Colchicum (Colhicum autumnale)- the Liliaceae family, a bulbous plant about 10 cm. The aerial stem is erect, rounded. Three or four broad-lanceolate leaves are collected in a rosette around the fruit, they die off in the middle of summer, and with the onset of cold weather, large flowers up to 25 cm appear, similar to crocuses. Flower color ranges from white to purple. Blooms in the first half of autumn. In nature, it is found in wet water meadows, along rivers and streams. Colchicum is an unpretentious plant. In the fall, he will be able to decorate the site, and will stand in a vase for about 5 days. It is only necessary to remember that the whole plant is poisonous. You need to work with it with gloves and take precautions.

Non-flowering forest plants

Walking through the forest, you suddenly stop looking at a plant that does not stand out for flowering, but still has some kind of special attraction. After all, not only the delicate charm of forest flowers, but also beautiful or unusual leaves make wild plants very decorative.

Cuff (Alchemilla)- Rosaceae family, creeping perennial (15-60 cm). The cuff has unremarkable flowers, they are small, false umbrellas are collected in inflorescences, an inexpressive greenish-yellow hue. Blooms from May to late summer. But the main advantage of this plant is the leaves. They are light green, round, fan-shaped, pubescent, with slightly concave lobes. Due to the pubescence, dew drops linger on the sheets. In the light of the first rays of the morning sun, it looks just amazing! The plant is unpretentious, but loves moist soil. Self-seeding well, so you need to immediately cut dry flower stalks. Successfully adjacent to tall plants(bells, delphiniums, etc.). Small undersized plants should not be planted near the cuff (more on which you can learn), growing, it can simply close them. A good cuff on an alpine slide and as a curb. In the wild, it is found in ravines, forest edges, banks of water bodies and wet meadows.

Ferns and horsetails will add a unique pristine atmosphere to your garden. These ancient representatives of the plant world have interesting and lush foliage. They grow in our forests many species.

Kochedyzhnik (Athyrium)- This genus includes approximately 200 species of ferns. There are 12 species in our area. These are large ferns up to 1 m, growing mainly in the forest. Leaves with short petioles, pinnately dissected, covered with brownish scales. Very widespread in moist forests, can form entire thickets. It reproduces intensively by spores. Considered poisonous. He likes wet shady places, he is often planted near artificial reservoirs.

Common bracken (Pteridium oquilinum)- perennial fern plant up to 1 meter high, branch width with leaves up to 70 cm. Pinnate or pinnate, lanceolate leaves are blunt at the ends, located on long petioles, dense. They have a peculiar smell. It does not grow as a bush, the leaves are arranged singly and are connected underground by a rhizome. Reproduces by spores. It grows most often in oak and pine forests. Unpretentious. It is considered poisonous, although it is used as food by the peoples of the Far East.

horsetail- herbaceous perennial spore plant, which has an interesting texture. It has hard branched green jointed shoots 30-60 cm and cone-like spore-bearing spikelets. Often found in forests in marshy areas. Some types of horsetails are used in landscaping.

forest shrubs

There are many in our forests beautiful shrubs, you just have to look. Here hung beautiful long catkins hazel, wild species of willow meet spring with fluffy “seals”, wolf bast, euonymus, honeysuckle, dogwood, brittle buckthorn, privet delight with flowering and decorative fruits. Beautiful and useful black elderberry, hawthorn and blackthorn. Do not count everyone.

Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra)- this shrub in the wild is found everywhere. Its height is 6-10 m, the leaves are large, slightly shiny. In May, it is covered with fragrant whitish-cream umbrellas of inflorescences. And closer to autumn, flower umbrellas turn into brushes of black berries. This unpretentious shrub on the site causes trouble by active reproduction. However, this is not a reason to refuse this pretty and very useful medicinal plant.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn (Crataegus)- tall bush, Rosaceae family. Has many types. This plant retains its decorative effect for almost the entire warm season. At first, the bush pleases the eye with beautiful white flowers, and in autumn it flashes with red-orange clusters very useful berries. Fruit color can range from light orange to black. Very undemanding and strong plant. Beautiful in hedges, thorny branches will make such a barrier impenetrable. It also looks decorative alone on the edges.

Blackthorn or blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.)- branched thorny shrub from 1.5 to 4 m, from the Rosaceae family. Oblong-oval leaves with denticles along the edges. In spring, it is covered with medium-sized white five-petal flowers, and in autumn, black-gray fruits resembling small cream appear in their place. Sweet and sour in taste, they have a slight astringency. The plant is medicinal. In the wild, it grows in the forest-steppe zone. Unpretentious.

Forest plants in landscape design

We can “invite” a lot of forest guests to our garden plot. Growing in the harsh conditions of the wild, in a well-kept garden, they can reveal their full potential. It is best, of course, to use plants from your area.

For the Mauritanian lawn, some forest flowers are suitable: leucanthemum, bluebells, wild poppy, forget-me-nots. On a shady area, you can plant ferns, horsetail, kupena, they will give this part of the garden a touch of mystery and peace.

Liverworts will decorate rocky hills in a group with small-bulbous primroses. Kaluzhnitsa, Ivan-tea, meadowsweet will look great on the shore of an artificial reservoir. Sinyukha will decorate any flower bed. Oregano can be used for mixborders and discounts.

Most shrubs are suitable for creating hedges and will perform well in a single planting. A wonderful border will come out of the cuff.

Now such a direction in landscape design as “natural garden” or “eco-style garden” is coming into fashion. The basis of this style is the recreation of a corner of wildlife in the garden. Of course, everything should be done as naturally as possible. For this, wonderful plants of our forests are used, which are in perfect harmony with the inner world of man.

Perennial flowers in the garden have clear advantages over annuals: you do not need to plant every year, they are highly decorative and, finally, by choosing the right plants, you can achieve not only the perfection of colors, but also constant flowering in your garden from early spring to late autumn.

When compiling flower arrangement, in addition to the timing of flowering, it is also necessary to take into account the size of plants, the structure and color of their inflorescences.

Did you know? Perennial garden flowers are distinguished by growth - undersized (up to 50 cm), medium-sized (50 - 80 cm) and tall (from 80 cm and above); by type of roots - tuberous, rhizome, bulbous, bulbous.

Perennials blooming in spring

Spring flowers in the country belong to undersized ornamental plants, bloom in small flowers (more often they have pastel colors). The timing and duration of flowering are highly dependent on weather conditions (early or late spring, warm or cold weather).

Adonis (lat. Adonis) - has about 45 species of annual and perennial plants. It has been actively used in park and garden art since the 17th century. Blooms in the second half of spring. Stems simple or branched. The inflorescence is a simple basket. The flowers are bright yellow (sometimes red) with glossy petals, solitary (up to 8 outer tepals).

Winter-hardy plant, grows well in open, lit places (slight darkening is allowed). The preferred soil is light, moist, with organic matter and lime. Adonis does not like transplants very much (if necessary, transplant with a clod of earth).

In culture, adonis perennials are most often found:

• fluffy adonis (A. Villosa)- blooms in May, has pubescent stems, reaches a height of up to 30 cm;
• spring adonis (A. vernalis) or adonis- blooms in late April - early May, the only medicinal type of adonis (often used as a component of cardiac preparations);

• adonis amur (A. amurensis)- characterized by early flowering, bare stems, leaves with long petioles. Japanese breeders have created several hybrids (hinomoto - orange shades, benten - white petals, ramosa - brown with red, etc.).

Important! Adonis is listed in the Red Book and is protected by law. Adonis roots are poisonous (should be taken into account when independent use in treatment). Poison protects the plant from pests.

Hyacinth

Oriental hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis) has served as the basis for more than 400 ornamental varieties of gacinths.

Hyacinths are bulbous, after flowering the green stem dries out. Flowers on a thin peduncle are collected in the form of a brush. They are simple, terry and multi-flowered.

Hyacinths prefer lit, flat (with a slight slope), protected from the wind areas, with light fertile soils. The groundwater level is at least 50 cm. Although hyacinths are practically not susceptible to pests and diseases in open ground, care must be constant (2-3 times loosen the soil, 3 times before flowering, during the formation of buds and after flowering, apply fertilizer water periodically).
Simple hyacinths vary in color and are divided into 6 groups:

• white(“Argentina”, “Carnegie”, “Linnosans”, etc.);
• pink(“Pink Pearl”, “Fondant”, “Anna Marie”, etc.);
• red("Generale Pelissier", "La Victoire", etc.);
• blue("Miozotis", "Maria", "King ose Blues", etc.);
• lilac/violet("Amethyst", "Bismarck", "Lord Balfour");
• yellow/orange("Yellow Hammer", "Orange Bowen").

Did you know? For more than 16 years, the selection of the only black hyacinth variety - Midnight Mystique - lasted. The new variety was first introduced in 2005 by Thompson Morgan.

Among the terry hyacinths, the most famous are "Prince Arthur", "Madame Sophie", "Grootvorst", "Edison", "Sun Flower" and others; from many-flowered - "Pink Pink Festival", "White White Festival", "Blue Blue Festival").

Crocus

Crocuses (Crocus) - low-growing perennials that bloom in spring and autumn (varieties of species of saffron crocus and beautiful crocus), bulbous plants (about 80 species), with basal leaves. Crocus spring (C. Vernus) - one of the progenitors cultivars. Since the end of the 19th century, more than 50 ornamental varieties have been bred. These plants are good honey plants. Blooms in March-April. Crocus has been known to mankind for thousands of years, because it is from it that the most expensive seasoning, saffron, is obtained.
Crocuses love a lot of sun, light fertile soil. The plant is not afraid of the wind. It looks most decorative in groups from several tens to hundreds of flowers.

Important! Until the leaves of the crocus completely wither, they cannot be cut (or mowed), because thanks to them the roots accumulate nutrients for next season.

Among the most popular varieties are lilac-white "Vanguard", purple "Purpureus grandiflorus", pale lilac "Ruby Giant", yellow "Queen of the Blues", white "Joan of Arc", etc.

Narcissus (Narcissus) - from the Greek "narke" - "stupefying smell." A bulbous plant of the Amaryllis family, which includes more than 40 species, hundreds of varieties and hybrids.

All daffodils have straight pedicels without leaves, large upright (drooping) one- or two-color flowers. Leaves are thin basal. Blooms in March-April.

Did you know? The Persians were the first to cultivate daffodils. In Persian poetry, the narcissus personified the eyes of the beloved. In ancient Greek mythology, there is a myth about the origin of the flower - the young man Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection and died of unrequited love. At the place of his death, the beautiful flowers of death bloomed. In ancient Rome, daffodils were awarded to the winners.

The classification of daffodils is quite complex and they can be:

• tubular- named because of the tube-shaped rim. They grow from 15 to 45 cm in height (“Mount Hood”, “King Alfred”, “Lilliput”, etc. (colors are white, yellow-white, yellow);

• large-crowned- the corolla has a size of about a third of the length of the petals. Height - 60 cm ("Salome", "Carlton", etc. (yellow, two-tone with an orange crown and white colors);

• finely crowned- a small chalice has the shape of a cup. Height - up to 45 cm. Blooms in May. The color is two-tone, the crown is orange ("Barrett Browning").

• terry- there is no tube, the leaves near the flower garden are arranged in several circles ("Acropolis", "Tahiti", "Rip van Winkle", etc.);

• triandrus- the name comes from the daffodil Triandus. Inflorescences consist of several drooping flowers. Height - 30 cm ("Liberty Bells", "Ice Wings", "Havera");

• jonquil-shaped- from Narcissus Zhonkil. They bloom from April. They have thin leaves, delicate flowers in racemes. Height - 20-30 cm. Famous varieties - "Belle Song", "Baby Moon", etc.

early flowers in pots

AT last years very popular to grow garden plants in pots. For this, primrose and bulbous varieties are best suited.

Primrose

It has a large number of subspecies. Each of which is different from each other not only appearance but also care requirements. The homeland of this culture is Asia, and specifically Tibet, the Himalayas and Western China. Only about thirty grows in the European part of the mainland.

Usually, it is believed that the primrose grows preferably in forest belts, however, some have taken root in the mountains and in the meadows of the Alps, as well as on the banks of rivers. Less than half of all varieties are used in culture, and some are unable to survive even in our harsh conditions.

However, among the variety of classes, you can also find those that germinate after the snow melts. And if you choose the right varieties, then the flower bed, throughout the warm season, will be decorated bright hats. In Russian gardening, the following types are used:

9. Palassa. Buds are tied from May to June. Thirty centimeters high. The culture has a delicate yellow tint.

Breeding and caring for primroses

Propagated by seeds and cuttings. The first method is laborious, due to the fact that it is inherent in small fruits. And the germination of seeds does not last long, so it is better to sow immediately. But if it is customary to breed primrose with seeds, then they need to be sown in early February.

Remember! Seeds must undergo stratification, that is, prolonged exposure to cold.

You can also try temperature buildup, it is considered the best way:

1. To do this, during the day, the seeds must be placed in the cold, then in the heat for equal periods of time. This will help some varieties sprout.
2. After that, you can soak the seeds in a special tool that provoke growth.
3. Then, using a toothpick, sow each place in a separate container. In this case, it is very convenient to use peat tablets.
4. The final step is to cover the seed container with a film and place it on the windowsill. In the future, you will need to monitor the moisture content of the substrate.
5. Germination of seedlings can take several months, so do not worry ahead of time.

Primroses in a flower bed

First of all, for early specimens, it is necessary to find the optimal place for growth. It should be a place with little shade, with loose and fertile soil. You can choose a place in front of the entrance to the house or on the veranda. After the flower bed is prepared, it is necessary to decide on the choice of bulbous plants, these can be: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, muscari, chinodoxes, hazel grouses, scillas, iridodictiums.

Once the decision is made, you need to choose specimens that bloom with the advent of heat to decorate the flower bed: forget-me-nots, violas, daisies. There are varieties of viols that bloom in autumn. And in the end, perennial specimens are used for the base of the flower beds:

• pelargonium;
• day-lily;
• creeping phloxes;
• primrose;
• stonecrop;
• cineraria;
• geykhera.

Spring flowers for bouquets

Bulb crops are the best. They look great alone and in combination with each other. Best suited for making bouquets:

• tulips;
• daffodils;

Early cultures are a real miracle. Especially those that grow in an unthinkable way in the middle of snowy expanses. They may not exist for long, but it is these specimens that show all the strength and beauty of our nature. Very often they are given for the holidays and sold in the markets.

On sale there are many tulips and hyacinths that are created for home breeding. They look great on the windowsill in the apartment. That's all I wanted to say on this topic.
