Plants for flowerbed decoration
Selecting beautiful and unpretentious flowering plants for your garden is not such a difficult task. The only difficulty here will be not to plant all the flowers in a chaotic order. That is why it is worth understanding in more detail which flowers are best suited for planting in flower beds.
Sun-loving perennials
Onion perennials begin to please the eye from the moment the first spring rays appear. Flowers give way to each other .
Snowdrops are being replaced by crocuses and hyacinths. Next, tulips, irises and daffodils begin to bloom. In May, sunny flowers - lilies - bloom. When summer comes, the bulbous flowers go into a dormant period. The leaves begin to fade, and the bulbs will rest until next spring. But this does not mean at all that in the summer the garden should look like an abandoned wasteland. It can be diversified with flowering perennials and herbs:
Perennials that bloom in summer will please the eye much longer . Of course, one cannot fail to mention the rose here. Most varieties of roses are ideally combined with coniferous shrubs, the greenery of which sets off the bright buds.
A flower garden with gladioli will be especially colorful. These flowers grow and bloom in the flowerbed, giving the garden a certain majesty and luxury. Gladioli are bulbous plants. They will feel great in the garden surrounded by the following perennials:
Pelargonium, which is often popularly called geranium, can often be seen in pots on windowsills. But this does not mean that the plant is not suitable for an outdoor flower bed. Pelargonium is very easy to care for and produces a lot of inflorescences. It is preferable to grow on the sunny side or in the least shaded place.
Chrysanthemums are very popular and will fit perfectly into a garden composition.
Chrysanthemums begin to bloom in August. The flowering period of these flowers ends only with the onset of the first frost .
Chrysanthemums will look great in the autumn garden. Chamomile can brighten up any yard. Such flowers can often be found even in the courtyards of schools. Chamomile can fit perfectly into the garden with other perennial plants. She is very easy to care for and will never cease to please the eye. Chamomiles can also be combined with small shrubs.
Annual flowers in the yard
Annuals are the perfect solution for those who like variety in their garden.
Annual flowering plants make it possible to create unique compositions in flower beds every season. Such flowers can be used both to decorate mixborders and modular flower beds. Annuals are often planted in pots to decorate their summer cottage. The most common annual flowers are:
Many people probably think that the above flowers have long become boring and lack any originality. However, with the right choice of varieties and the correct composition, these “boring” plants will take on a completely different look.
Few people know that marigolds in their genus include more than 3 species. In Russia, upright and deviated species can most often be found. If we talk about the color scheme, it starts from dark red and ends with a lemon shade. Some varieties are distinguished by their mixed colors.
Zinnia, often called major by gardeners, is a large, bright, hollow flower. Zinnia tolerates the sun well without losing its rich colors. This flower plant is perfect for a rustic flower bed. Only asters can compete with them.
Unpretentious tall perennials
Several well-known plants are deservedly considered among the most unassuming perennial flowers, capable of growing in any soil and blooming throughout the season.
Phlox paniculata
One of the most frost-resistant perennials, capable of blooming throughout the summer. Ideal for planting in shade and sunny locations. It has beautiful inflorescences and a delicate aroma.
Does not require watering or tying up, although the height of the bushes reaches 80 cm.
Lupine
The plant has a beautiful peduncle and is absolutely not demanding on soil quality and growing conditions. The only recommendation regarding growing lupine is that it is not advisable to plant it in places where strong gusts of wind are possible.
The flowering period occurs in June. Lupine reproduces well by self-sowing. Its advantages include the ability to improve the composition of the soil.
Tall perennial plants are in demand among gardeners due to a number of their advantages.
They are not demanding of care and can grow in one place for several years without complex additional care. Tall perennials harmoniously complement any composition, play the role of a hedge, and are effective for zoning a garden plot.
A huge variety of varieties and hybrids allows you to effortlessly create an original garden composition that will decorate the garden for several years without labor-intensive care.
Main characteristics
In landscape design, there is a special class of herbs that either do not bloom at all or bloom unnoticed. These are ornamental herbaceous plants. Some look so impressive that it is no longer possible to imagine a modern flowerbed or front garden without them. There are a great many herbaceous plants in nature. There are about 18,000 of them in Russia alone. But of course, not all herbs can be classified as ornamental.
Herbaceous plants are plants that do not have perennial above-ground characteristics, they do not have woodiness of the stem, and at the end of the growing season they die off. Herbs form a root system and shoots: leaves, stem and flower part, if any.
Classification of herbaceous plants
Herbaceous plants are classified according to various criteria. But grouping plants by lifespan is considered the most convenient. Their examples:

Plants grow on Earth in a variety of ways. Some, such as algae and water lilies, prefer an aquatic environment, but most plants grow on land, spreading their roots into the soil. Some plants reproduce by seeds, and some by spores. Some plants have smooth, wide leaves, and some have sharp, long spines. There are plants of various colors and shades, small and large, useful and harmful, wild and cultivated.

Decoration of the world
Decorative plantings are widely used to improve the landscape: near houses, grasses are displayed in flower beds and front gardens, they decorate squares and park areas in cities. Thematic compositions and modular flower beds, porters and borders are created from annuals, biennials and perennials.
Conventionally, ornamental plants are divided into deciduous and flowering:
