Guidelines for choosing plants
All flowers growing in open areas are divided into 3 groups:
- annual;
- two-year-old;
- perennial
The first includes crops that can completely overcome all stages of life in one season. They develop successfully, decorate inflorescences, pollinate and bear fruit. And in the fall they bear seeds and disappear forever. Despite this, annuals are very popular with designers. The wealth of varieties makes it possible to create unique compositions every year.
After flowering, annual crops can be removed and a new flower bed can be arranged.
In biennial plants, buds appear only in the next season. Some specimens live longer than expected, which is very welcomed by gardeners. However, perennials are considered the most valuable “economy”. They retain their original decorative effect for decades. Most perennials have leaves and branches that die. The underground part renews vegetation as soon as suitable conditions are created. To choose the right flowers for your flower bed, you need to know them. We open and leaf through the “book” of bright plants for the garden.
Annual blue flowers for the garden
In summer, blue flowers fill our gardens with bright splashes of blue or blue. The deep blue tones of flowering plants give them a sense of serenity. What can you choose from annual flower crops for planting in a flower garden?
Evolvulus
Quite rare in our area are low blue flowers for flower beds with a true blue tint. The groundcover Evolvulus looks great on soft grey-green foliage that forms a small mound.
Ageratum
A compact plant 20-35 cm high. It blooms with small flowers collected in spherical or umbrella-shaped inflorescences. Flowering continues from June until frost. Faded inflorescences do not spoil the decorative appearance of flowers. Ageratum is propagated by seeds and cuttings. Used to decorate flower beds.
Calibrachoa
This petunia analogue is relatively new, first becoming available to home gardeners in the 1990s. Advances in breeding have led to a wider range of colors and larger patterns. One of the most versatile annual plants, calibrachoa can be added to any floral arrangement.
Place two tall ceramic vases near the entrance to your home and fill it with vibrant blue flowers to wow visitors. Decorate gazebos and porches with hanging baskets filled with your favorite flowers.
Violet or Pansy

Many will sow themselves and give you years of joy. There is an incredible variety of colors and patterns available for Pansies today, including blue ones.
Aster
Annual species of aster vary in the shape of the bush and the structure of the inflorescences and flowers. They come in low, medium and high. The main stem of the plant is straight and quite strong. Stars reproduce only by seeds. Well-ripened seeds can remain viable for up to 3 years. For early flowering, aster seeds are sown in a greenhouse in mid-March.
cornflower
A durable and persistent flower, which, despite its external fragility and sophistication, easily tolerates cold, wind and prolonged drought. The perennial plant begins to bloom in May, but does not like it for a long time - until mid-June. The flowers are small, in mountain varieties they can reach 15 centimeters in diameter.
Sage or Salvia
Typically blooming from late spring to fall, salvia thrives in dry conditions and appreciates free-draining soil. With regular pruning, sage can bloom from late spring until the first frost.
The variety of colors, sizes and long flowering time make salvia an ideal addition to perennial borders, even when used as an annual.
Petunia
This crop is often grown as an annual. There is a wide variety that may differ in shades. Most often in the garden there are varieties with blue flowers. They are planted to decorate flower beds and borders.
The height of plants can reach half a meter. The stems extend along the surface of the soil. The flowers are funnel-shaped. Abundant and long flowering. Reproduction occurs by seeds. They can be sown in a greenhouse or directly in a permanent place.

Biennial plants with blue flowers
Biennials are plants that achieve ornamental value in their second year of cultivation. Most of these crops form a rosette of leaves only in the first year. Some of them may bloom, but very weakly. In the second year, the plants develop flowering shoots, bloom profusely and produce seeds.
Biennials reproduce by sowing seeds in April-May, from which seedlings are grown and planted in a permanent place in August-September of the first year. Most of these plants are also capable of vegetative propagation.
Viola
People call this flower “pansy”. Herbaceous plant of low height. The bushes are compact, no more than 30 cm high, the leaf blades have a rich green tint.
Each flower has 5 petals. In cross section, the flowers reach 4-6 cm, depending on the variety. If you plant the giant varieties, they will produce flowers about 10cm in diameter and their petals will have wavy edges. Reproduction occurs by seeds.
Rich flower
Forget-me-not
A low-growing perennial flower garden that will delight the eye all year round, in spring and summer. Forget-me-nots bloom and grow in shady places, in fertile soil soaked in liquid fertilizer. Sowing begins at the end of April, at a distance of 10-20 centimeters from each other, while the bushes are buried deep into the ground. Lack of water and frequent transplants are painful.
Explanation of some names
Meadow flowers, in addition to the official Latin name, have a name that was given by people. For example, coltsfoot got its name because of the contrast between the upper (warm, fuzzy) and lower (cold, smooth) parts of the leaf.
Elecampane relieves fatigue and gives “nine strength”. Cornflower is a symbol of purity and holiness, named after St. Basil, who had great love for flowers. Ivan da Marya was named after a legend about an unhappy love that was not destined to come true.
According to Russian legend, multi-colored pansies are the color of hope, surprise and sadness of a girl whose heart could not stand the vain expectation of her beloved. The carnation was named for its resemblance to an ancient forged nail. The roots and leaves of gentian are so bitter that this taste served as the name of the flower.
Photos with the names of wildflowers are given below.

How to plant a herbaceous peony and care recommendations
So how to plant the whimsical herbaceous peony correctly. You need to know that herbaceous peonies tolerate transplantation and division more easily in August, when the above-ground part no longer grows and the rhizome develops. The delenka should be a fragment of rhizome with roots and 3-5 buds. It is also good to plant any herbaceous peony and properly care for it in the open ground in early autumn. The roots have strengthened during this post-vegetation period and are more likely to take root in the ground.
You should not neglect all kinds of nutrients; this will not only not harm the flower, but will also benefit it, ensuring abundant flowering. For the first two years, young plants do not need to be fed. But from the third you need to start applying fertilizers. You can get by with fertilizer, which I sprinkle two or three times in late spring - early summer, then I add ash, superphosphate and potash fertilizers. It’s a good idea to add compost once a year.
Flowers overwinter well; they do not need to be covered for the winter, other than mulching the fresh plantings. The stems will remain intact, no need to worry. But at the end of spring, rotting may form, so it is better to cut off the leaves and burn them in September to destroy the beginnings of fungal diseases. Enough space should be left for growth, because a different arrangement will inevitably contribute to the same diseases. As a preventive measure, you can use a solution of copper sulfate in a ratio of 5 g of the product per 1 liter of water. Spray the resulting mixture not only on the flower itself, but also on the ground around the bush.
If the weather is unfavorable, then the seedlings purchased in early spring should be immediately planted in pots and placed in a cool (+5...+ 12 °C) place. In general, even such an idea for caring for and independently growing a herbaceous peony is feasible; it will require additional measures: more soil outside the bush for additional protection. Do not forget to pour gravel into the bottom of the preliminary hole and sprinkle the plant with fertilizers.
In general, breeding these inflorescences brings a lot of pleasure. An activity that will appeal to both beginners in gardening and seasoned gardeners! In this case, the search for ideal “pets” will remain endless, always full of new discoveries of bred and previously unheard variations. Even from the existing series, it is almost impossible to decide on the title of favorite - after all, they are all so different and especially charming, colorful, full of life!

The flowers of the cranebird resemble the beak of this slender bird, and the flowers of the bluebell resemble a bell. Oregano has a unique aroma, especially when dried. The tea made from it is very fragrant. Elecampane acquired its nickname because it helps well with weakness and fatigue: it gives a person “nine strength.” It also happens that the name of wildflowers is associated with myths and legends. They say that cornflower is named after St. Basil the Great, who had a special affinity for flowers, and is a symbol of kindness and spiritual purity. The flowers on the stems of Ivan da Marya received their name thanks to the legend of unhappy love. The girl and the guy, having learned that they were brother and sister to each other, so as not to be separated, turned into flowers of different shades. The sleep-grass flower is so called because at night the petals close tightly and the plant droops, as if falling asleep. Another name for this flower is lumbago.
