What is a border of flowers

Borders are one of the types of flower bed. Plants are not wide here: centimeters 30-50, but long strip. Most often use low colors of one tone. Border can be:

• out of flowers;
• from low ornamental plants.

Borders bore:

• tracks in the garden;
• wide parking alleys;
• flower beds;
• lawns;
• mixborists;
• and even garden beds.

What should be plants for the border

You need to choose plants:

• low or medium;
• compact;
• one or, in extreme cases, several shades. Otherwise, the curb will turn into a motley, messy bed;
• if these are flowers, then let them bloom abundantly and continuously;
• bright, decorative;
• living, not afraid of bad weather;
• the color of the tape along the track or around the flower beds should be contrasting towards the flower bed, which serves as a border background.

Interesting: the first border from the plants appeared in the monasteries, more precisely in the gardens around them. A first curvel became a curb plant.

Types, types, styles

Depending on which plants for borders were used, it is enough to distinguish their types:

• evergreen. They are decorative all year round, especially in winter. Snow-sorn green ribbon resembles a warm summer. And from a practical point of view, they are good because they require less attention;
• perennials. Very beautiful until warm, and then lose their decorativeness until spring;
• annual. You have to start every season, but what are they bright, sometimes fantastically beautiful.

And there are borders:

• spring, consisting of plants blooming early spring;
• summer;
• constant, that is, those where evergreen plants are planted;
• single row;
• 2 row;
• multi-row.

Styles

It is necessary to draw up a border in a certain style that corresponds to the overall view of the yard or garden, which will indicate the taste of the owner. This feature highlights the design:

• strict style. Here are only clear even lines, geometric drawings from the samshet or herbs that hang, applying a haircut. Looks very elegant;
• in style natural. Flower lines are soft, slightly blurred borders between the curb and flower. Many and annuals are used, soil plants, as well as those that form something as a pillow. Such borders are also called landscape or landscape;
• country is an interesting solution. Instead of colors for the border, salads, spicy plants with decorative leaves are used. Usually it is possible to design small, so-called "kitchen" beds. The border consists of parsley, onions or bushes to the failed strawberries.

On a note: to use less plants and at the same time get visually thick floral border, make it consisting of 2-3 strips, and: not direct, and curved. V some distance it will look like a solid carpet.

Plants for borders

Choosing flowers for borders Photo of them and features required. If there is no experience in this case, then:

• It is advisable to even make a sketch of future flower beds and distribute plants on it in height, color and duration of flowering, and then go like a landing. So you will save yourself from possible unpleasant surprises when the high curb will close everything that grows in the midst.
• It is important to choose the right plants, because some loves the sun, others are dying under the bright light. Some need to water without end, and for others, excessive moisture is destructive.
• as for colors, the classic combination is red and yellow, green and blue.

A place under the sun

A live border on a sunny place is performed from:

• Argratertrum, translated by the powerful. Height from 100 to 600 mm. When he blooms, the leaves are not visible - there are such blue balls from fluffy flowers. However, there are agraters and white, pink, lilac - beautiful all. In my homeland, he is a perennial, but in places with a harsh climate will not overheam;

• lavender. Her spikelets are not only beautiful, but also smell unusually. But it is necessary to grow it:

1. watered moderately;
2. the land must be porous, which means compost;
3. make lime or ash so that the soil is not acidic.

• Hybrid geihans with very beautiful different in shape and color leaves, but it will have to grow, if the soil is fertile, because it is difficult for others; it is difficult for her;
• medunication sugar. A live border from it will delight you already in early spring, as this is a plant-primrose;
• armery, which is planted tight, will create a beautiful carpet. Grows in a height of up to 0.3 m.;
• dwarf irises of bearded, painting of these low colors for borders can be the most diverse, incredibly beautiful.

• border roses. Roses, of course, do not suit anyone, and special: curb or soil. Such a border will look just fabulously. Between roses for sealing, low annuals can be placed, but not bright so that they do not distract from contemplation by themselves beautiful roses.

Border in the shade and half

For such a border choose:

• sugit. It grows in the shade, as well as in the sun. It is necessary to arrange such a curb to start from August, so that the chests are rooted and strange;

• exquisite hosts, which are simply not transferred to the bright sun, and in the shade lush bloom their beautiful leaves. True there are varieties that feel good in the sun. There are many varieties of this perennial, characterized by color and form of leaves;

• soil colonge. It will force the land so tightly that Byriana will not have a chance to break through this cover. This perennial plant will grow even on the stones;
• sharpening. Its thickets, height, depending on the species, from 15 to 50 cm, are very decorative, and in April-May it is also beautifully blooming;
• a fire bell, but it will have to cut it periodically, since the shoots can squander around the ground for a length of up to 0.8 m, and the height of this pillow-like long-term plant is small - 20 cm.

So far, it was about perennials, well, except for the exception of the argene, which, depending on the climate, may be the same. Let's look at the design of the border with flowers annually.

Annual Flowers for Bordours

The choice of annuals is very large. Let us dwell on some. The disadvantage, if you can say so, one - the border need to re-arrange every spring.

For the curb, of course, the first is suitable, as she:

• has a wide variety of tones and shades;

• creates a wonderful blooming rug in a sunny place.

In general, there is so at least they say scientists, 64 types of this flower.

Calceolaria
