A perennial plant that blooms in autumn. There are three types of marigolds based on height

September is an amazing month. It imperceptibly seeps in with a yellow glow, little by little scattering its drizzling clouds and whitish mists.

September allows summer to slowly say goodbye to us, leaving autumn flowers on the ground. This is probably why the flowers of September are touching and very beautiful...

Autumn will always remain the brightest time, even despite the approach of cold weather, the areas are decorated not only with an abundance of colors of fallen leaves, but also with a mass of autumn flowers. They will decorate the environment and become a cradle for the fall asleep autumn garden.

Let's walk through the autumn garden together and look at the gifts of the past summer.

Dahlias.

One of the most unpretentious and beautiful flowers. There are about 20,000 species of dahlias. They differ from each other in the height of the bush, in the structure and shape of the inflorescences, and in the size of the flowers.

Our gardeners equally love anemoid and peony dahlias, collared and needle-shaped, nymphal and spherical.

Dahlias bloom in September and will decorate the autumn flowerbed until frost. In the meantime, while the sun is warming, dahlias delight gardeners, decorating the autumn garden.

Chrysanthemums

The chrysanthemum in the autumn flower bed is so good that it undoubtedly occupies the very top of the flower charts.

The various colors of chrysanthemums never cease to amaze us: pink and bronze, white and cream, yellow and orange, red and lilac... chrysanthemums alone can decorate the whole world.

Chrysanthemum - flower short day, which is why it blooms when the day is waning. There are many varieties of chrysanthemum, they will decorate any autumn flower bed.

But, large-flowered chrysanthemums are quite difficult to grow in our conditions, but a large number of magnificent smaller forms are also pleasing to the eye. Today flower growers have given their preference to unpretentious Korean chrysanthemums strewn with joyful flowers.

Chrysanthemums are planted in borders, flower beds, in group plantings and along paths.

These cute flowers look like spring primroses.

Light and delicate, they captivate with their defenselessness on the eve of a harsh winter, creating a contrast between the soft purity of the petals and the cold withering of nature.

Hybrid anemones, felt and Japanese anemones are grown in garden plots.

Colchicum or crocus.

Colchicum is considered a mysterious plant in our nature. Chemical composition and its development cycle are unusual and arouse great interest.

Colchicum during its flowering period makes an indelible impression.

Its main advantages are the surprise of the “autumn” color among the yellow shades of autumn.

It's the virtues that make the colchicum welcome guest in the autumn flowerbed.

Colchicum is very beautiful in group plantings around ponds, along paths, on the lawn and in rocky gardens.

Perennial asters.

This beauty is a classic of the genre in the autumn flower bed.

A wide variety of shapes and colors for autumn is a real gift from nature.

Throughout September, the aster will blaze with all the shades of the past summer: lilac, pink and violet flowers.

Sometimes we call these charming bushes September or October bushes.

Goldenrod.

Goldenrod, autumn mimosa, northern mimosa, solidago... you can call it any name for a plant that can complement the design of a garden in the fall.

Goldenrod can be planted in group plantings, or small flower beds of the same type can be created.

Goldenrod is used in autumn bouquets and is a great addition to winter bouquets, so try to find a small corner in your garden for this beautiful plant.

The sedum is prominent.

Sedum is a cold-resistant plant that is not afraid of frost. Sedum blooms in August and when almost all the flowers have faded, the prominent sedum continues to bloom in a bright spot.

A plant native to Korea, China and Japan. There are several varieties of this sedum, they differ in shades: white, pink-lilac, purple, red.

The sedum is unpretentious - cold-resistant, drought-resistant, winters well and is practically not affected by pests. Prefers fertile soil - sedum blooms luxuriously on it.

Rudbeckia

Large bushes of shiny and glossy rudbeckia look impressive in large tracts against the background of conifers or a lawn. In vain, the once so popular variety of rudbeckia “Golden Ball” was forgotten by flower growers. Its tall, about 2 m, yellow curtains are visible from afar.

This plant is suitable for the background to decorate large spaces.

So we ran through the autumn flower beds and looked at autumn plants. Behind the scenes there are still many beautiful autumn flowers left - these are Franchet physalis, rose, gladioli and yarrow, marigolds.

Our nature is simply inexhaustible; it has something to decorate our Earth in autumn, summer, and even winter.

Capable of unexpectedly flashing with bright farewell colors. In September and even October there is still enough sun for a number of plants to fully bloom. Autumn is rightfully called the most colorful time of the year. She is able to decorate the garden not only with the appearance of a changed color, but also with a wonderful combination of floral shades in the flower beds. Let's look at plants that bloom in autumn together.

    Annual flowers grow quite large in size, and perennial representatives are distinguished by small inflorescences, but more numerous.

  • came to our gardens from Japan. But this did not at all affect her development.
    Large-flowered varieties respect the warmth of the sun, and representatives from Korea are able to withstand frosts down to minus seven degrees. The smell of the plant is bitter, the color shades are varied.

  • its appearance resembles the familiar chamomile. She loves damp and fertile places. Bloom different varieties occurs in September and October and continues until the onset of cold weather.

How to organize care for autumn plants

  1. When autumn plants begin to bloom, it is recommended to stop watering. Water is only necessary for those that are transplanted or have only been growing for a year. Inflorescences that have stopped flowering are removed. Perennial types are cut back to the root. If the pruning is high, then the stems are left for the winter and removed in the spring.
  2. During this period, it is recommended to support plants with superphosphate preparations and potassium sulfate. Flowers with tubers in the form of bulbs are fertilized only with potassium. Some representatives are allowed to hill up, sprinkle with spruce branches or cut branches for the winter.

This is not the entire list of autumn plants. There are many of them, and all are capable of bringing joy with colorful flowers. And if you want to enjoy the view in the fall bright inflorescences– don’t rush to plant everything. Take a closer look at which representatives are well suited for the climate, soil composition and other conditions. And only after that start growing.

Perennial flowers in the garden have clear advantages over annual flowers: you don’t need to plant them every year, they are highly decorative and, finally, by choosing the right plants, you can achieve not only perfection color range, but also constant flowering in your garden with early spring until late autumn.

When compiling flower arrangement In addition to the timing of flowering, you also need to take into account the size of the plants, the structure and color of their inflorescences.

Did you know? Perennial garden flowers distinguished by height - short (up to 50 cm), medium-tall (50 - 80 cm) and tall (80 cm and above); by type of roots - tuberous, rhizomatous, bulbous, corm.

Perennials blooming in spring

Spring flowers in the country are low-growing ornamental plants; they bloom with small flowers (usually in pastel colors). The timing and duration of flowering strongly depend on weather conditions (early or late spring, warm or cold weather).

Adonis (lat. Adonis) - has about 45 species of annual and perennial plants. 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).

A winter-hardy plant, it grows well in open, illuminated places (light shade is allowed). The preferred soil is light, moist, with organic matter and lime. Adonis really does not like transplants (if necessary, transplant with a clod of earth).

Adonis perennials are most often found in culture:

  • downy 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 one medicinal type adonis (often used as a component of heart medications);

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). Toxicity protects the plant from pests.

Hyacinth

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

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, double and multi-flowered.

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

  • white(“Argentina”, “Carnegie”, “Linnosance”, etc.);
  • pink(“Pink Pearl”, “Fondant”, “Anna Marie”, etc.);
  • red(“General Pelissier”, “La Victoire”, etc.);
  • blue(“Myosotis”, “Maria”, “King Lake Blues”, etc.);
  • lilac/violet(“Amethyst”, “Bismarck”, “Lord Balfour”);

After summer ends, the garden can still be decorated with lush vegetation.

Some of them remain on the site even until the onset of frost.

Therefore, if desired, it is worth arranging autumn ones by selecting various flower crops for them.

Autumn flower beds for landscape design

During the autumn season, the garden is decorated with plants that bloom continuously or bloom after mid-summer. These include phlox, pansy, marigold. With them you can grow chrysanthemums, autumn crocuses, dahlias, and asters.

In addition to standard autumn specimens, gardeners extend the life of summer ones. If you remove wilted phlox inflorescences, they will bloom much longer. Other similar species are restored in the same way.

Typical autumn flowers bloom from September to November, but they manifest themselves differently depending on the climate. This means that before planting it is important to study the information on the label.

It is advisable to start thinking about what autumn plants you want to have on your site in the spring. It is optimal to start growing them outside the flowerbed, and after flowering ends, transfer them to the flower garden.

All autumn species are not picky about growing conditions.. They are resistant to temperature changes and light frosts without special agrotechnical actions. For example, decorative cabbage even tolerates frosts. Autumn season flowers can be propagated by vegetative methods and seeds.

Perennial autumn flowers

Perennial plants are those that can grow in one place for several years. Among the autumn perennials there are various interesting species.

Late varieties of phlox bloom in September. But after the time during which they actively bloom, you need to pick off the dried inflorescences.

These plants are very demanding in terms of care. need well-fertilized soil, deep loosening of the soil and sufficient moisture.

Flowers will be appropriate in autumn flower beds, as they develop well in partial shade, and therefore during short daylight hours.

One of the most popular ornamental plants in autumn gardens. Depending on the variety, chrysanthemum flowers can be of different colors: white, lilac, burgundy, yellow, red and orange.

They also differ in the size of the inflorescences and bushes. Early varieties chrysanthemums bloom from August to October, and late chrysanthemums bloom only before the onset of frost.

Chrysanthemum is not picky about growing conditions, but has some requirements. The bushes prefer light soils, deeply loosened. Don’t forget to fertilize them with organic compounds.

Although chrysanthemum loves moisture, it needs drainage in winter. The crop needs to be mulched immediately after frost, which will protect it from exposure to low temperatures.

No less famous are oak plants or Chinese chrysanthemums, which bloom until frost. Oak trees are undemanding in terms of soil composition, but require sunlight and good drainage.

Perennial asters

These flowers come in tall and low-growing forms, which gardeners often use to decorate flower beds from late summer until the start of frost. Perennial asters have other names and are known as September and October asters due to their autumn flowering.

Asters are colored various colors, including purple, white, red, blue and many more. In specialized stores there is a wide variety of asters on sale, where pictures, photos and descriptions of the species are presented on the packages.

Plants go well with annual crops and perennials. A wide variety of shades and shapes of inflorescences allows you to grow asters in many types landscape design.

Dahlias in the garden look great next to peonies, irises and annuals. Against the background of the lawn, these bulbous flowers look impressive in single plantings.

Their flowering continues from July until the onset of frost. In autumn, the above-ground part of dahlias falls off, and the lower part of the stems and tuberous roots need to be dug up and preserved.

For growing plants, you should choose permeable soil rich in nutrients.

This ornamental flowering plant, also known as Montbrecia, thrives in many types of soil and requires moderate humidity and plenty of light. Crocosmia blooms in July and ends flowering in late August - September.

If the flowerbed has poorly drained, heavy soil or little snow, then it is better to dig up the plant’s tubers before winter.

Some specimens can grow up to 1 meter. The light green leaves are sword-shaped. The color of the flowers depends on the variety and can be orange, yellow, or red. Will be an ideal companion for lilac and purple asters.

Some goldenrods are classified as weeds because they reproduce quickly by self-sowing. But these ornamental plants can really be called representatives of flowers.

Their unique inflorescences can be spicate, paniculate, or umbrella-shaped in shape, and as they develop, they change their appearance. Goldenrod is an unpretentious specimen, as it tolerates drought, high humidity, but they are not grown in the shade.

Depending on the variety, these plants begin to bloom from mid-June to early winter. In the garden, goldenrods will take place in various compositions. These can be tapeworms, borders, mixborders, use in rock gardens and even for hedges.

Echinacea or rudbeckia purpurea belongs to the aster family and has large flowers with reddish-purple petals.

There is another type of plant - beautiful rudbeckia, whose inflorescences look like yellow-orange baskets with a large brown core.

Echinacea is unpretentious and has a long flowering period, until real frost.

Although rudbeckias are frost-resistant, they are demanding on growing conditions. The flowers are not suitable for cutting, so they are used to decorate the natural environment.

This unpretentious flower, resembling a chamomile, blooms from July until frost.

Double yellow inflorescences of coreopsis on tall stems perfectly enliven the autumn landscapes in the areas. It is necessary to feed it during flowering. To make coreopsis bloom even more actively, the buds should be removed.

Coreopsis bushes are also undemanding when it comes to choosing neighbors on the site. They can be delphiniums and sage. Low-growing varieties can be used to decorate borders and containers placed on windows or terraces.

Exotic flower from the lily family is gradually spreading in garden areas. Tricyrtis, associated with the orchid, is highly decorative, but at the same time it requires careful care.

The best way to grow this unique plant on chernozem soils, in partial shade, and also avoid drafts and use a drip irrigation system. Fresh manure is not suitable as fertilizer. On winter period the flower needs to be covered.

Tricyrtis is a spectacular and rarely used specimen in cultivation. Beautiful flowers will be appropriate in group plantings of rockeries. Ideal partners in flower beds for tricirtis will be orchids, hostas, ferns, and arizema.

Annual flowers for the autumn garden

Annual flower representatives reach quite large sizes, unlike perennial plants.

Their choice for the garden is varied - it includes varieties of annual asters, zinnias, delphiniums and many others.

These annuals often grow not only in outdoor flowerpots, but also in window containers.

Zinnias love light and tolerate drought; they bloom until frost begins, that is, until mid-September.

In damp weather conditions, the plant can quickly wither, but if you find a suitable place on the site, large zinnia inflorescences in bright colors will decorate the garden for a long time.

These fall-flowering plants are biennial but are grown as annual crops. , known as brassica, reaches its peak in early autumn.

The tall leaves of the plant can have different widths, and can also be straight or wavy. Also, depending on the variety, their edges are trimmed with teeth and cuts of different depths.

Cabbage foliage can be one color or multi-colored, including shades of green and even red and purple. Usually with outside the leaf is painted in one color - green, and several tones can be combined in the rosette.

To care for brassica, it is enough to remove weeds and loosen the soil. The amount of watering is affected by the amount of precipitation in summer. Cabbage tolerates temperatures down to -10°C, because in summer it accumulates a large amount of nutrients. Thanks to this, the plant blooms not only until November, but even in winter it will continue to decorate flower beds.

Delphinium (larkspur)

Depending on the species, the plant can be either annual or perennial. Its height varies between 0.4 - 2 meters. White, purple and blue delphinium flowers are collected in pyramidal inflorescences.

Larkspur should be planted in sunny areas and protected from drafts. On too hot days there is a risk of burns, so it is advisable to place the plant in a windless place where it will be in the shade for at least 2-3 hours a day.

In the middle zone it blooms from the second half of June to the end of July and in the fall. The delphinium will bloom again if its flower stalks are cut off after the end of the first flowering.

Eschscholzia (California poppy)

Eschscholzia flowers can be yellow, orange or pink. Outwardly, they resemble poppies, which is why the plant received its second name - California poppy.

Eschscholzia does not require complex care for continuous flowering. Watering is sufficient in very dry summers without rain. A large amount of moisture is not needed, because the flower loves dry soil.

Note: although each flower of this plant lasts only 3-4 days, it still blooms all summer and until late autumn, because withered buds are immediately replaced with new ones.

The growing place should be open, illuminated, as the flowers open in sunny weather and during the hottest time of the day. It is also important to loosen the soil to ensure a constant flow of oxygen to the roots.

This annual is characterized by long flowering and a rich aroma from its decorative bell-shaped flowers.

It was for this specific smell that the datura was nicknamed dope. Currently, there are regular, double and semi-double forms of the plant.

Datura is not whimsical; it develops not in height, but in width. With ample light, it has a lush bush; with sufficient care, it actively blooms until late autumn.

It is important to know: in partial shade the plant is not as voluminous, and growing datura in the shade can lead to its death.

During active development large foliage evaporates a lot of moisture, so the planting needs to be watered abundantly. They also monitor the maintenance of ambient air humidity, because the leaves and buds of the plant may fall off if there is a lack of moisture. The soil must be drained and enriched with organic nutrients.

The spreading datura will cover empty areas after the flowering of perennial plants, which leave empty spaces already in July. You can lift creeping flowers by making a support from branches.

This late-blooming plant is found in many gardens due to its spherical, lush flowers. The inflorescences are colored purple, blue, pink and white.

Ageratum begins to bloom in early June in the middle zone, and in the southern regions - at the end of May. Active flowering continues until frost, but to increase it, the plant is planted in a sunny place. Only slight partial shade is permissible, but not more than 2 hours a day.

Ageratums are preferred fertile soils, through which moisture and air pass well. The plant should not be fertilized with humus. Use only as fertilizer mineral fertilizers for annual flower crops.

Ageratum varieties differ in the richness of colors, shapes and dimensions of the bush. Due to its high decorative qualities, the plant is grown alone or in combination with zinnias, calendulas, marigolds, and rudbeckias.

Marigolds (tagetes)

In many areas you can find marigolds, also called tagetes. The small and decorative flowers of these annuals begin to bloom in June, and if proper care is followed, they last until late autumn.

To form lush bushes, marigolds are pruned in the summer. You also need to regularly loosen the soil and weed out weeds on time. Tagetes need oxygen, so they are not grown in dense soil.

Note: If you do not sufficiently follow the recommendations for caring for marigolds, then in the fall bushes with dull flowers and thin foliage will remain in the flowerbed.

You can achieve active flowering by removing wilted buds. To feed these October plants, it is better to use mineral mixtures. In the first half of summer, the soil is moistened abundantly.

No less famous among autumn flowers is helichrysum. Its inflorescences are painted in bright colors: pink, yellow, red, orange.

These wildflowers are among the most resistant plants, unfading even in autumn. Immortelle is not afraid of drought, heat and grows in poor soils lacking nutrients.

For planting, choose a sunny, slightly elevated area. Helichrysums look great in alpine slides and rockeries. The plant is often used for cutting, because when dried it is preserved for a long time. Thanks to this, the flower was nicknamed immortelle.

Iberis or peppercorn is usually a short grass that is used to decorate rockeries, alpine slides and borders. Purple, pink or white inflorescences of Iberis, collected in umbrella-shaped racemes, bloom in May and continue to bloom until late autumn.

With their long flowering, the plants do not require complex care. Since Iberis is a ground cover plant, it can be damaged by root rot.

To avoid this, bushes are planted among stones. This solution is not only practical, but also decorative. If desired, the garden can be decorated bright plants not only in summer, but also in autumn. Many autumn species do not require labor-intensive care, which allows many gardeners to grow them in their dachas before the onset of cold weather.

Rudbeckia (Golden Ball)

This plant is very impressive and unpretentious. Feels great and sunny flowerbed and in partial shade.

Rudbeckia grows quite widely. therefore, it must be planted at intervals of at least 0.5 m. And so that the crop does not lose its decorative value, the bushes should be moved to a new place every 6 - 8 years.

Buzulnik

Buzulnik inflorescences reach a height of up to 2 m. But even with such rapid growth, the plant does not require fertile soil; it can be grown in one place for up to 30 years.

However, the culture loves shade and moisture, and therefore it should be placed under trees and on the banks of reservoirs.

Buzulnik reproduces in the spring by dividing the roots. On each division we leave 1 - 2 buds and bury them 3 - 5 cm into the soil.

Calendula (Marigold)

With its thick foliage, calendula perfectly muffles and repels with its pungent odor. garden pests, and the phytoncides it secretes destroy pathogenic bacteria. Due to its beneficial properties, calendula is advisable to make medicinal baths and balms based on it.

Tagetes (Marigolds)

The smell of this plant with lacy leaves and fiery flowers is also not to the liking of harmful insects. Therefore, it can be planted not only in flower beds, but also between the beds.

When propagating Tagetis by seeds, you need to pay attention to the timing of their collection; seed two years ago does not germinate well. Different varieties should be planted at a distance from each other, as they easily cross-pollinate.

Annual dahlias

Look great among autumn flowers, especially annual varieties, perennials are thermophilic and therefore their rhizomes have to be dug up for winter storage before the first frost occurs.

And late bloomers are in the active phase at this time and it is not advisable to disturb them.

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums must be grown in places protected from the wind, otherwise the bushes will become disheveled and will not look tidy.

Both annual and perennial varieties are suitable for autumn flower beds, because they do not need to be dug up for the winter, just trimmed and covered. Chrysanthemums bloom until the first snow.

Asters

Annual asters in special care dont need. But for abundant flowering they need loose, fertile soil. It is very useful to add sand and humus to plant them.

It is better to do this before winter, so that the organic matter has time to decompose and does not cause fusarium disease in the future.

You can plant asters in one place for 6 years in a row, and after that - 4 years where calendula or tagetis grew before.

Mattiola (Levkoy)

Heady honey aroma The passing summer fills the garden with blooming matthiola. It grows on any soil except acidic soils (it’s not difficult even without a device), so you can’t add fresh manure to it; it’s better to feed the beauty with ash and mineral fertilizers.

It is better to plant matthiola where cruciferous plants, with which it has common diseases, have not grown before.

Helichrysum (Immortelle)

You probably won’t regret it if you select an elevated sunny place in the flowerbed for this plant; it will fit perfectly into the design of the alpine slides. In order for the plant to bush better, you need to pinch its central shoot above the 5th leaf and remove wilted inflorescences.

And to make the hylechrysum happy even in winter, you can dry it by hanging it upside down under a canopy, and then put it in a vase.
