Spring white flower. The very first spring flowers: varieties, planting and care

The snow is just beginning to disappear, and the first spring flowers are already appearing in the garden. Many people look forward to them, as they become a decoration of the beginning of spring.

Snowdrops

Of course, it is impossible to list all the names of spring flowers. Snowdrop opens our list. This plant is not at all capricious; it begins to delight with its flowers when the snow is still sparkling nearby.

Snowdrops can be propagated by seeds or bulbs. will appear in the third year after planting.

If a person plans to transplant the bulbs, this should be done after flowering has passed. But some gardeners believe that the best time for replanting will be August.

Lilies of the valley

The names of spring flowers replenish lilies of the valley. They grow only in the forest, appearing near bushes where there is a lot of moisture. The plant belongs to the lily family. It pleases with its beauty for many years, as it is a perennial.

However, lily of the valley is also planted in the garden. Drop him off better in autumn. The soil should be fertilized and care should be taken to ensure that the roots are not bent.

There are different early spring flowers, their names differ, as does their care. But lily of the valley is unpretentious. The only thing it needs is moist soil. In such a habitat it will delight with its flowers. This plant has developed roots. Because of this, he is able to survive other plants, only bushes and trees cannot survive. Therefore, gardeners do not recommend planting lily of the valley along with other flowers.

Crocuses

If we talk about bulbous spring flowers (their names vary), we should not forget about crocuses. There are many types of them, each of which differs in the shape of the petals and their color. They should be replanted in the summer. The main thing is that the soil has neutral acidity. The place where the plant is going to be placed should be sunny.

They begin to be visible even when there is snow nearby. It looks especially beautiful if you plant plants in groups.

Scillas

When listing the names of spring flowers, we must not forget about blueberries. During the growing season, the bulb produces about 4 children. They are separated and transplanted. Scilla have beautiful bluish flowers. This plant is often planted on lawns, under bushes. It can create an unusually beautiful look.

Hyacinths

While listing each name of the first spring flowers, it should be noted that none of them compares with the beauty of hyacinth blossoms. This flower is propagated using small bulbs that appear on an adult plant several times a year. The emerging baby must be carefully separated during the rest period. After 2 years, the plant will delight you with its extraordinary flowers.

Dream-grass, spring clear grass

There are also such primrose flowers: spring clear, sleep-grass. They grow in meadows and dry sunny slopes. Sleep grass is also grown in the garden. To do this, seeds are planted. A dug up plant in the forest will not take root and will dry out. The seeds will germinate well in the ground where there is peat, sand, and fertilizer. This flower has long been listed in the Red Book, so it is worth taking care of it.

Grouse

The very first spring flowers are signs of the beginning of spring. They are particularly beautiful. Such plants are hazel grouse. They are variegated in color, and their flowers hang like umbrellas. It is easy to grow in the garden. The main thing is that the place is sunny, with nutritious soil.

But hazel grouse do not like strong moisture. Because of this, drainage must be placed in wet areas. To grow the plant in the garden, it is recommended to dig up the bulb every year.

Daffodils

Daffodils are also the name of the first flowers of spring. Their flowering is associated with the condition of the bulb. Therefore, those who want to plant daffodils in the garden should pay attention to it when purchasing. The plant needs nutritious soil and sun, does not like winds. Daffodils grow in one place for about 5 years, then they should be replanted. They look good if other plants are blooming nearby.

Hellebore and violet

Spring flowers are pleasing to the eye. The names “violet” and “hebore” are familiar to many. These plants are among the first to bloom.

Hellebore is a perennial with beautiful evergreen leaves. Its flowers come in different colors and appear in April. They can be:

white;
burgundy;
red;
peach, etc.

This plant loves partial shade and does not tolerate damp places. But the violet reaches for the sun's rays. Its flowers are blue-blue.

By the way, liverwort is often confused with violet. It is also a spring flower that appears mainly in the forest. It is often covered in leaves or needles, so people who grow this plant in the garden should do the same. Liverwort grows in moist soil in the shade.

Pushkinia

Names of spring flowers include Pushkinia. Its flowering is very beautiful, which cannot be compared with any other plant. It's usually white with blue stripes. Pushkinia is a bulbous plant, which is why it is propagated using bulbs. Although there are options to use seeds. If a person decides to plant this flower in his garden, best period it will be autumn for this. But in winter the plant requires a warm place, then the seedling will be well preserved.

After the snow disappears, primrose also appears. Its inflorescences are very large and its leaves are oblong. The plant is not afraid of frost, but does not tolerate drought and very moist soil.

Daisies, lungwort

There are still some spring flowers. The names "daisies" and "lungwort" themselves evoke These plants also appear in early spring.

As for daisies, they grow short but large. There are several varieties, but they all radiate cheerfulness and brightness. They bloom in early May, and the buds remain throughout the winter. By the way, when growing in the garden, you should still cover daisies during the cold season.

But the lungwort surprises with its inflorescences, since they can be blue and pink at the same time. This plant is durable, as it lives for 30 years. It germinates in moist areas and is therefore difficult to grow in the garden.

Allium

Allium is also called decorative onion. Inflorescences appear on long stalks. This plant can decorate any area, and it is not difficult to grow. It blooms in late spring, but there are also species that delight with their flowers in the fall.

Growing spring bulbous plants

Most of the plants that bloom first are bulbous spring flowers. Their names are listed above. Each of them has its own originality and peculiarity. They all grow in wildlife, but over the years people began to plant these beautiful flowers in their gardens, which delight the eye at the beginning of spring. Those who want to decorate their summer cottage with similar plants should know how to grow them correctly.

Scales extend from the bottom of the bulb, with the help of which the flowers store water and substances. And the bulb is used for plant propagation.

The spring bulbous plant blooms in early spring. After flowering, it continues to develop and grow leaves. This happens so that the bulb absorbs maximum amount useful substances. These plants enter a dormant period when all the leaves dry out.

One of the earliest flowers are tulips. They are especially often used for planting in gardens, parks, and public gardens.

Tulips

Tulips love illuminated areas that are not exposed to wind and where there are no drafts. This plant grows well in areas exposed to direct sunlight. So that it pleases with its amazing flowers, the sun should shine on it for more than half the day. Due to lack of lighting, the plant's bulbs are small, and the inflorescences are fragile and thin.

The tulip needs feeding, then it will grow healthy and beautiful. It should be carried out:

after the tulip emerges;
during the period of bud appearance;
during flowering.

Of course, if fertilizing was applied in the fall, it may not be carried out further.

In order for tulips to bloom, it is necessary to dig up the bulbs every year when the leaves have already turned yellow. They need to be stored in a dry place, having first cleared the soil. To prevent the bulb from rotting, sand is poured to the bottom in the place where it is planted. Tulips are planted to a depth equal to 3 bulbs.

Spring flowers listed in the Red Book

Every spring, after the snow begins to melt, the first spring flowers appear. But some of them are on the verge of extinction, which is why they are listed in the Red Book. It is forbidden to pick, sell or buy them, as primroses are in danger. Many people do not pay attention to this and collect bouquets of flowers in the forests. This applies to snowdrops and lilies of the valley. You can visit the forest and just admire these flowers. Snowdrops are particularly at risk. Various legends have been created about them since ancient times.

Also disappearing 50 years ago it could be found in early spring throughout the country. Its flowers are painted burgundy; it grew in glades, in the Black Sea regions, on the slopes of low mountains. The plant sprouts in groups, and people began to pluck flowers in whole bouquets. Gradually its population decreased. Now the peony is rarely seen; most often it appears on the Black Sea coast.

Similar flowers include those that also bloom in spring. By the way, it is even used in perfumery. But its quantity is also decreasing, so it is worth taking care of the first spring flowers.

Dacha - this word evokes a range of memories, emotions and impressions in everyone. In order for all these thoughts to be more positive, and trips to the dacha more joyful, it is worth paying attention to more attention flower beds and flower beds. They will delight the whole season with a riot of colors and wonderful aroma. Perennial plants will help make any color fantasies come true.

cypress spurge;
long-horned spurge;
Euphorbia multicolor;
Euphorbia scaly;
fire spurge.

You can choose the appropriate type for a specific area. For example, multicolored euphorbia and cypress grow well in sunny areas. Scaly and long-horned spurges are suitable for shady places. But all these plants require well-drained soil. It should be remembered that the milky juice that exudes from the stems is poisonous. You need to work with gloves. Euphorbia should be pruned in the fall. It is best to plant bushes in the spring by dividing young rhizomes. You can also sow seeds in spring. Capable of self-seeding.

Garden spurge

Ferns – spore plants with large leaves - fronds. Divided into three main groups:

Large ferns that grow into thickets. The length of the fronds is more than 50 cm (bracken, onoclea, common ostrich, light scale).
Large bushy ferns. The leaves are more than 50 cm long and are intended for single plantings (kochedednik, osmunda, multirow, shield grass).
Small ferns with leaves less than 50 cm long. The most famous: adiantum, asplenium, woodsia, gymnocarnium, etc.

All ferns grow in the shade and require constant moisture. The soil should be loose, without manure or compost. Natural soils without any fertilizers are ideal soil for these plants. Plant in spring and late summer. It is better under trees, next to walls and fences, on the north side near the house. Ferns are resistant to diseases and pests.

Garden ferns - shade-loving plants

fescue– perennial cereal grasses. Form a bush from long, hard leaves . They look beautiful both in individual plantings and in flower arrangements.

Tall species (30-70cm):

gray fescue;
fescue Calle;
Myra fescue;
glacial fescue
Siberian fescue;
Welsh fescue.

Low-growing species (15-30cm):

forest fescue;
sheep fescue;
paniculata fescue;
Prickly fescue.

Gray fescue

Ideal for alpine hills, as they love rocky, dry, sandy soil and sunny areas. They do not like stagnant moisture, excessive moisture, or fertilizers. Resistant to cold and disease. The disadvantage is the rapid degeneration of the bush. After just a few years, the density of the clumps decreases. Propagate the plant by dividing the bush in the spring. Dry leaves should be removed as they die.

Phalaris (reedwort)– ornamental grass, 90–120 cm high. The leaves are long green with white or cream stripes. Resistant to diseases and pests. It easily tolerates frost, drought, and pruning to a height of 20-40 cm. It can be planted near bodies of water, in the shade, although it loves sunny places. The soil should be loose and moist. This aggressor plant grows quickly and “survives” other, weaker plants. For close proximity to such species, you need to protect the phalaris bushes with metal plates, digging them to a depth of 20 cm.

Rogersia– an exotic plant with an unpretentious character. Decorative large leaves They will delight you until late autumn with different shades, changing them from green in summer to burgundy and red in autumn. Based on the shape of the leaf, they are divided into two groups: with palmate leaves (concochestnut-leaved, podophyllous Rogersia), with pinnate leaves (pinnate and elder-leaved Rogersia). The plant loves partial shade, but when frequent watering, can also grow in sunny areas.

Rogersia

Suitable soil is loam, fertilizer is humus, compost. During hot periods, you need to water frequently; mulching will help retain moisture. The flowering period occurs in mid-summer. After a month of flowering, you need to cut off the bright panicles and continue to enjoy the beauty of Rogers. It is better to propagate by dividing the bush in the spring. But it is also possible at the end of summer - by leaf cuttings.

Autumn perennial plants for the garden

This group includes the smallest number of plants, since nature is preparing for winter sleep, there are few flower stalks.

Helenium autumn– a herbaceous plant with a bush height of up to 160 cm. It blooms from late July to October. The flowers are large yellow and red, the middle of the inflorescence is dark. The shoots of helenium are highly branched, each ending in a flower, so the bush has abundant flowering. The rhizome is poorly developed. The plant prefers sunny areas, but can also grow in partial shade. Loose, moist soil is suitable, so good watering is needed on hot days. Propagated in spring from seeds or young shoots. It is better to replant after 3-4 years.

Poskonnik- perennial, blooming from August to October. Plant height is from 100 to 150 cm. Inflorescences are pink or purple. Planted as a single bush or in composition with other flowers. Loves sunny places, but also tolerates partial shade. Grows well in moist soils rich in fertilizers and peat; constant watering is required. In spring, propagate by dividing the bush or sowing seeds. In winter, the above-ground part of the plant must be cut off.

Poskonnik

It is promising to grow them on alpine hills and in rocky gardens. Adult lumbagos do not tolerate transplantation. Perhaps at least this consideration will keep you from wanting to dig up a wild specimen. Not to mention the fact that replanting lumbago from natural habitats is strictly prohibited.

Noble liverwort - Hepatica nobilis Mill. = Anemone hepatica Homeland - the European part of Russia, Western Europe, grows wild in the deciduous forests of the Moscow region. It grows in the forest zone in forests of various composition: broad-leaved, small-leaved, coniferous, mixed (spruce-broadleaf and spruce-birch). The primary habitat of the liverwort is considered to be broad-leaved forests. This is a non-moral Eurasian species. The plant has a fairly wide ecological amplitude, can withstand significant shading, but can also grow in completely open places, prefers moderate moisture, avoiding damp and excessively moist places. It is little demanding in relation to soil, but prefers places rich in lime, with well-developed litter. It often grows in soils with a slightly acidic or neutral reaction. Low-growing perennial plant up to 15 cm tall. Leaves are basal on long petioles, broadly triangular, three-lobed, leathery, glabrous or pubescent, dark green, young reddish-violet, obtuse or slightly pointed, overwintering under snow. The flowers are solitary, 2-3 cm or more in diameter, with 3-4 calyx-shaped bracts, on long leafless, pubescent peduncles. The tepals are bluish-purple, less often pink or white. It blooms simultaneously with the unfolding of leaves, in early spring for 20 days. Simultaneously with the appearance of flowers, old leaves gradually die off and are replaced by growing new ones. The fruit is a multi-nut with an appendage rich in oil. The liverwort reproduces primarily by seeds. Seed production from 20 to 64 seeds per shoot. After flowering, the pedicels lengthen and the flowers bend to the ground; the fruits are carried away by ants eating the succulent appendage. In natural habitats, seeds can germinate in the fall. In spring, oval green cotyledons up to 10 mm long develop, with a small notch at the top. The first true leaf appears in the growing season following germination. Its plate is dark green, three-lobed, covered with long silky hairs, like a long reddish petiole. The liverwort blooms in different habitats in the 4th to 7th year, in culture - in the 3rd year. IN natural conditions one adult plant can have 5-12 flowers, in cultivation - up to 150. Pollination occurs with the help of beetles and butterflies that eat pollen, since there is no nectar in the flowers. Liverwort is one of the early flowering plants in our forests; it blooms in April - early May, before new leaves appear. Flowering lasts 3-4 weeks, fruit ripening - 1-1.5 months. Generative organs are formed a year before flowering. By the first half of August, all parts of the flower in the bud are fully formed (tepals, anthers on threads, pistils are noticeable). In October, flowering shoots reach 1 cm in length. In culture since 1440. Has many forms. The most interesting are double ones, with dark blue and pink flowers. rich shade. These plants are characterized by a special splendor of flowering.

TURKESTAN PRIMFLOWER

The liverwort blooms in April, simultaneously with the very first spring flowers - coltsfoot, snowdrop galanthus, wolf's bast. Each of the spring primroses has its own tricks that allow them to start flowering in the spring without delay. The liverwort has at least two such tricks. On the one hand, thanks to the leaves that overwinter in a green state, it has the opportunity to take advantage of the very first rays of the sun. On the other hand, in nature she chooses places where there is a lot of sun before the trees unfurl their leaves. The roots of the plant, I note, lie shallow, in a quickly warmed layer of soil, which is also important.
What seems strange at first glance is that the flowers of the coppice bloom all at once, and not one by one, as many other plants do, and fade very quickly. The explanation for this is simple. The plant is in a hurry to bear fruit faster and throw seeds onto the still damp and bare soil. This way they have a better chance of germinating, which guarantees the flower's survival. It is curious that the erect peduncles of the liverwort lie on the ground after setting fruit. Immediately after flowering, the overwintered leaves of the liverwort wither, but to replace them, by mid-May, new ones grow - shiny, leathery.

Thank you for the photo and description

How impatiently we all look forward to spring. How we rejoice at the first warm rays of the sun, the first thawed patches and streams. But the first spring flowers are especially delightful. The appearance of these small but bold harbingers of spring indicates that spring has finally and irrevocably come.

1. Galanthus or snowdrop (Galanthus)

2. Hellebore (Helleborus)

The name speaks for itself. Hellebore blooms in the cold. In its native places (in Transcaucasia) it blooms in winter (late February). Thanks to legend, hellebore is sometimes called the “rose of Christ.” It was first found near the stable where Christ was born, and since then, as if in memory of this event, hellebore blooms in the south in winter.

3. Crocus or saffron (Crocus)

Crocuses are the favorite flowers of gardeners and city landscapers. The crocuses are blooming, which means spring has come. The ancient Greeks considered the crocus the flower of the goddess of dawn Aurora, the flower of awakening nature. There is a beautiful legend. One spring day, love happened between the god Zeus and Hera on the river bank. The warmth of their passion awakened the earth, and the clearing was covered with beautiful white and purple flowers crocuses “Closing your eyes, imagine noble saffron, and then you will see everything: the noble blue of the sky, the mysterious yellow moon, the pink dawn and lilac-red twilight,” this is what they said about crocuses in the Ancient East.

4. Scilla or Scilla

As soon as the snow melts, blue flowers of woodlands appear, which many incorrectly, although deservedly, call “snowdrops.” Most species of woodleaf have bright blue flowers. The clearings of flowering plants in the garden resemble lakes that reflect the clear spring sky.

5. Lungwort (Pulmonaria)

In the inflorescences of this primrose you can see both pink and dark blue flowers.
There is a legend that the dark blue flowers of lungwort are the flowers of Adam, the first man. And the pink ones are the flowers of Eve, the first woman. Two various colors flowers on one plant symbolize the unity of opposites.
However, from a scientific point of view this is easily explained. Anthocyanins, plant pigments in plant cells responsible for the color of petals, change color depending on the acidity of the cell sap. As the acidity of the cell sap decreases, anthocyanins turn blue, and with an increase in acidity they turn pink. Newly bloomed flowers have high acidity of cell sap, which is why they are pink. And as the flowers age, the acidity of their juice decreases, so the anthocyanins gradually turn blue.

6. Narcissus

The name of this flower comes from the Greek word "narkao" - to stupefy, to stun, which is probably due to its strong aroma. Many legends are associated with the beautiful daffodil. The Greeks consider it a symbol of cold beauty, narcissism, vanity and selfishness. This is connected with the story of the handsome young man Narcissus and the nymph Echo, who is unrequitedly in love with him. Narcissus, as punishment for neglecting Echo's love, was condemned to love his reflection. According to legend, a narcissus flower grew where the beautiful Greek youth Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection in the water, died of self-love. IN Ancient Persia poets compared the eyes of their lovers to daffodil flowers. The ancient Romans greeted the victors of battles with yellow daffodils. And now the daffodil is the most beloved flower of the British, to which even the rose is second in popularity in Great Britain.

7. Violet or viola (Viola)

Violet is the favorite flower of various peoples. Poems and legends are written about her. She is considered a symbol of tenderness, modesty and innocence. There are more than 450 species of violets, distributed throughout the globe. The earliest of them bloom as soon as the snow melts: Altai, fragrant, hooded, marsh, amazing, tricolor, hill, bringing us joy and spring mood.

8. Anemone or anemone

Anemone or anemone is considered one of the first heralds of spring. After all, many types of anemone, including oak and buttercup, are early spring-flowering plants. And the oak anemone is often called “snowdrop” for its early flowering and the snow-white color of its flower. As soon as the snow melts and the buds of the trees begin to swell, this lovely delicate flower space under the forest canopy. The most delicate petals sway from the slightest breath of wind, which is where the name “anemone” comes from.

9. Corydalis (Corydalis)

There are about 320 species of corydalis in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. These are one of the earliest spring flowers, pleasing to the eye after a long winter. Corydalis growth usually begins under the snow, in March. And in April, very cute tassel inflorescences appear. In the forest in early spring, the lilac islands of corydalis very beautifully dilute the white seas of oak anemone.

10. Marigold (Caltha)

In the forest, not all the snow has melted yet, but along the roadsides in the lowlands, where the melt water flows, bright yellow marsh marigolds are already blooming. It is impossible not to notice these sunny yellow bouquets framed by varnish-shiny leaves against the backdrop of the bare spring earth around. Marsh marigold is indispensable when creating gardens in a landscape style. There are very beautiful garden forms with double flowers of pale yellow and white colors.

11. Liverwort (Hepatica)

People call the liverwort “copperwood” because it does not like open places and grows only in the forest. Blooming liverworts look very elegant; it is impossible to pass by the bright blue lush bouquets. After a long winter, it is especially pleasant to find a bush of flowering liverworts in the forest and saturate your eyes with their touching beauty.

The arrival of spring is always associated with the onset of warmth, birdsong, greenery and, of course, the appearance of the first flowers. Beautiful spring flowers delight the eye with their bright colors, impress with their diversity and inspire any gardener to start productive work. From the first month they fill houses, flower beds and gardens with colors.

Flowering time

As you know, all plants, even wild ones, require a certain comfort for optimal implementation.

Some survive only in sunlight, others only in the shade, some require constant humidity, others gradually disappear in water. Therefore, each type of plant, depending on its characteristics, produces due to certain factors. The first spring flowers grow depending on the following factors:

Types of plants blooming in spring

There are many varieties of spring flowers, which allows these green creatures to delight every gardener throughout the first warm season of the year. They differ in appearance, variety, color, smell, size, period and place of growth, and others characteristic features, attracting the attention of primrose lovers with different tastes and interests.

Snowdrop and scilla

Snowdrops are one of the very first spring plants to bloom. It is not difficult to guess why it has such a name, because its flowers can appear literally from under the snow. Snowdrop - bulbous flower with white bell-shaped inflorescences. Able to reproduce both by seeds and with the help of daughter bulbs. The plant blooms for about a month and is not afraid of frost and temperature changes., but blooms only two years after planting.

Scilla or scilla is often confused with snowdrop due to its external similarity and similar characteristics growth. But Scylla flowers, unlike galanthus, are blue or blue in color. Scilla can decorate a grass lawn, a flower bed, and even a room.

Crocus has earned the love of gardeners for its impressive beauty and diversity. They can bloom not only in spring, but also in autumn. Different varieties of this low-growing species are characterized by their own shapes of petals and their colors: blue, white, yellow, purple. Saffron propagation occurs by corms and children, which are planted in August, September or October, and in June they are dug up and transferred indoors. Blooming in spring Plants are planted in nutritious soil in a sunny area in September. Crocuses bloom a little longer than a week, early or mid-April.

Lilies of the valley are another irreplaceable spring flower in the garden. These are unpretentious perennial lily plants with white bell-shaped inflorescences, wide leaves and stems of approximately 25 cm.

Flowering period - late May or early June. Lilies of the valley are planted from early September to October, preferably under trees or bushes, as they are shade-tolerant (but without sunlight there will be no flowers). It is better to choose neutral, organic and moist soil for this plant. Flowers grow rapidly, which can lead to crowding out other species.

Tulip and daffodil

Tulips are very common spring flowers with a huge amount varieties that differ in color, size, flowering period, etc.

These are bulbous perennials from 10 cm to a meter in height. They are planted in mid-September, but some gardeners claim that this can be done in the spring. Sandy loamy, dug up soil is suitable for this. Dutch tulips are well popular and feature a large red flower. By planting different varieties of tulips together, you can get a spectacular, bright flower garden. They will look good on the lawn too.

Narcissus, like most spring flowers, is unpretentious bulbous plants. It attracts attention with its unusual inflorescence and pleasant smell. Daffodils are distinguished by their rapid reproduction (six children can grow from one bulb in a year). Favorable time for planting is the end of August - September. It’s worth choosing a sunny place for them., although these plants are not afraid of moisture. White or yellow narcissus flowers bloom for two weeks in April. They are well suited for decorating borders or solo flower beds

Pansies and violets

Pansies are very often used for garden landscaping. These are herbaceous annuals or biennial plants from 15−30 centimeters, with violet-shaped flowers. Large-flowered and low-growing varieties are known.

They are most often grown by seedlings. Sowing seeds should be done in early July in order to get seedlings by autumn. Pansies are planted in open ground at the end of September, although planting in early spring is possible. Viola requires good, fertile soil to produce better inflorescences. The plant blooms in early spring and withers by mid-summer.

Blue violet flowers are also early spring plants. They often become favorites of gardeners, as they are very beautiful, compact, grow in the garden and in the room, and also publish pleasant aroma. These herbaceous plants have many varieties:

graceful violet;
Manchurian;
moth;
motley and others.

Violets reproduce by seeds or by dividing clumps. In the first case, the seeds are covered with soil and kept in a dark, cool place until germination, a month later they are planted, after which (in June or before winter) they are planted in pots or in the garden. Violets also make a wonderful decoration for flower beds or borders.

In April or May, the garden of many flower lovers is filled with elegance by the evergreen primrose - hellebore. It is a rhizomatous perennial with flowers in white, peach, red or other shades. It does not tolerate excessive moisture and direct sunlight. As the name suggests, the plant is frost resistant. Reproduction often occurs by division, sometimes by seeds.

If you plant daisies in September, then by May you can provide garden paths or borders an unusual star-shaped ornament that will delight you every year thanks to self-seeding.

Daisy seeds can also be sown along with grasses in your lawn. Different varieties of these plants produce white, pink, and red basket colors. They love light, watering and are unpretentious to the soil.

Primrose is a bright bell-shaped primrose up to 30 centimeters tall. It will perfectly highlight unremarkable shrubs or trees.

In addition, it will be a pleasant addition to food, since its leaves at the beginning of flowering are quite edible and healthy. But for this, the soil for primrose must be supplied with sand, ash and rotted compost, and during the flowering period it must be watered regularly. The flower is propagated by dividing the bush or by seeds. It is planted in early June in a place in partial shade. Primrose blooms quite long and profusely. Sometimes it tries to bloom once again a year - in the fall.

Perennial bulbous hyacinths are a tall plant with a 30-centimeter stem, at the top of which cylinder-shaped inflorescences are collected. The color of the flowers is quite diverse, depending on the variety. These can be white, pink, blue shades. Hyacinth accepts turf and leafy, neutral soils. Planting takes place in September. Hyacinths - capricious plants, they do not tolerate frost, direct sunlight and waterlogging. They begin to bloom in early May and continue for about 25 days. These flowers grow both in open soil and indoors.

Every gardener looking forward to the fruits of his labor will certainly decorate his garden with several types of early flowers so that they become the heralds of spring and delight him until summer.
