Each grower will agree that the overwhelming majority of plants pleases with their appearance and aroma for a very short time. Surely everyone who has their own garden or plot dreams of ever-flowering plants that never wither. In part, this dream can be realized by creating the so-called continuous flowering flower beds.
Not obvious nuances
Continuous flowering beds have a number of characteristics that will ensure the perfect end result. When planning it on your site, you need to determine a sufficient amount of free space for it. For what?
Firstly, in order to create the impression of constant flowering, many different plants with different periods of ascent must be planted here.
Secondly, having enough space, plants of the same type can be planted in whole families in such a flower bed, so the composition will look whole and monolithic, rather than flowers sticking out alone.
Flower bed organization rules
When creating such a flower garden, one cannot do without a calendar of planting and climbing plants, which every gardener should have. It is on his data that you need to rely on when planting flowers.
Growing conditions
It is necessary to plant in a flower bed only those plants that feel good under the same conditions, otherwise you will not get a blooming flower bed, but a collection of eternally fading and weakened flowers.
To make it more convenient for the gardener, experts suggest figuratively drawing a plan for the future flower garden. It is necessary to distribute the plant in it in such a way that they are in harmony with each other both in the height of the stems and in the shades of future buds. Only in this case the picture will look harmonious.
Selection of plants
The essence of such a flower bed is that the wilted flowers are immediately covered with newly emerged plants.
For a continuous flower garden, you can choose both annuals and perennials. The main thing is that they feel good with their “neighbors”. After all, it's no secret to anyone that many flowers like to grow one by one.
Also, do not neglect deciduous plants, which, with their juicy greens, perfectly dilute bright colors.
A continuous flower bed requires careful maintenance. To maintain its ideal and well-groomed appearance, the gardener must remove dried buds and foliage in time.
