Types of ornamental grasses
The diverse family of ornamental grasses allows you to create multi-level and multi-colored compositions. They are not whimsical, grow quickly, and are not capricious when combined with other types of plants. Their seasonal transformations from a grass carpet to original inflorescences, and then to snow-covered waves delight the eye throughout the year.
The picturesque compositions in the photo, consisting entirely of ornamental grasses, make us re-evaluate this type of plant for creative experiments.
Rockeries are a derivative of the rocky plain, a memory of mountain meadows. Stones play a very important role in the creation and design of a rock garden, both large boulders, pointed piles, and crushed stone filling of medium and small fractions. Plants for rockeries should be dwarf, low-growing, slow-growing, creeping and climbing. An indispensable attribute of any rock garden are dwarf conifers and junipers.

Bulbs and cereals for flower beds
The appearance of the area around the house depends on what plants you plant in the yard. If you choose the right flowers, they will replace each other - when some fade, others will bloom, and the flowerbed will retain its decorative appearance. Some types of plants look spectacular even in winter.
In flower beds in local areas you can plant annuals and perennials, bulbous plants and low shrubs. Ornamental cereals and herbs are suitable for decorating flower beds. You can plant conifers on lawns - dwarf and creeping species will look especially good.
Bulbs are the first to appear in a flower bed - snowdrops bloom as soon as the snow begins to melt. They are being replaced by crocuses, muscari and hyacinths. In May, tulips and daffodils bloom, followed by anemones, irises and lilies. Garden callas bloom all summer. Closer to autumn, gladioli and dahlias bloom.
You should not pick leaves and stems of faded plants: the bulbs need them to bloom next spring. Over the summer, the bulbs must grow and accumulate nutrients, but without leaves they will not be able to do this.
At the same time as bulbous plants, ornamental cereal plants appear in flower beds and lawns. These are unpretentious plants, resistant to diseases and pests. They easily get along with various crops and tolerate both lack and excess of moisture. Cereals come in different heights and colors. They are planted along the edges of flower beds, on alpine hills and lawns. They look good at any time of the year:
- In early spring there is fresh young greenery and picturesque clumps.
- In summer, grasses grow and form various inflorescences - ears and panicles.
- Curtains covered with snow look spectacular in winter.
Suitable for flower beds: striped phalaris grass, haretail, pinnately bristle grass, setaria, cortaderia, feather grass and many other plants. In addition to cereals, you can grow herbs in flower beds and lawns: mint, oregano, basil.
