Ornamental shrubs are not flowering. Winter-hardy ornamental shrubs (photo with names)

Planting ornamental shrubs is a great way to make your site unique. They will fit perfectly into any landscape style. The widest assortment of both decorative and decorative deciduous crops will allow you to make the necessary choice and create an original composition.

The options for using ornamental shrubs in summer cottages are varied.

The entire diverse community of ornamental shrubs for the garden can be divided into three large groups:

flowering;
decorative deciduous;
conifers.

Within each group, there is a division that takes into account the size of plants, the ability to retain or lose leaves on the eve of winter, the duration of flowering, frost resistance, and attitude to growing conditions.

Features of growing ornamental shrubs in the garden

Ornamental shrubs — the best way for those who want to improve their summer cottage.

This category of plants is so diverse that it is impossible to give uniform recommendations for all species at once. You can take into account only some tendencies and note that when planting different types of ornamental shrubs, you need to group them according to the same requirements for soil, illumination, and irrigation regime. With solitary planting, it is much easier to create suitable conditions for the plant. If a composition is created from several types, they should be positioned so that each can show the maximum decorative effect.

Flowering shrubs for a summer residence: a list

This is the largest group of ornamental plants. There are many of their species that can successfully grow and bloom in the middle lane, due to their good frost resistance. In the southern regions, where this problem is not acute, the choice of flowering shrubs is even greater. Let's talk more specifically about each type.

Chubushnik (jasmine)

This deciduous shrub is often found in gardens. Its height ranges from 1 meter to 3. Bell-shaped white flowers with elegant yellow stamens are collected in clusters of 5 to 9 pieces each. The size of the flowers depends on the variety. In some, their diameter does not exceed 2 cm. And in the Akademik Komarov variety, they are simply huge - up to 10 cm in diameter.

Jasmine bloom lasts about 3 weeks and begins in early June, but there are also champions. Shrenk's chubushnik blooms the longest, and the Snow Avalanche variety of Vekhov's selection blooms most abundantly.

This is the decoration of any garden.

Terry jasmine varieties bloom very beautifully:

Ballet of moths;
Virginal;
Ermine mantle - this variety can bloom for up to 49 days;
Moonlight;
Blizzard.

Some of them re-bloom in late summer - early autumn.

The aroma of the crown mock-orange is familiar to everyone - it is very bright and rich. But there are varieties in which flowers smell like strawberries or pineapple, or have no aroma at all.

Weigela

It is an upright, deciduous shrub with beautiful flowering. The color of tubular-bell-shaped flowers is varied: white, yellowish, pink, purple or dark red.

A very popular plant among flower growers because of the decorative crown.

The three most frost-resistant species:

Early Weigela blooms when the lilac blooms.
Weigela Middendorf blooms from mid-May, flowers do not fall for a month, can please with repeated flowering in September;
Weigela blooming blooms at the end of May, flowering lasts 20 days.

Only their young bushes need a solid shelter. In adults, in frosty winters, the tips of unripe shoots freeze slightly. Hybrid varieties of Dutch and Polish origin, of which there are many now on sale, do not differ in high frost resistance, so they may not wake up after winter.

Japanese quince

Many people know Japanese quince as henomeles. It is a deciduous shrub that blooms in late May and early June. Flowering lasts up to 3 weeks. All this time, the bushes, spreading with arched branches, are decorated with bright flowers up to 5 cm in diameter. In autumn, hard fruits ripen, similar to small green apples. The main color of the flowers is red-orange, but varieties and hybrids with pink, red, white, and sometimes double flowers have been created. Outside of flowering, the bush is also very beautiful thanks to the glossy green leaves. The height of the plant in the middle lane does not exceed one and a half meters. Japanese quince shears very well, therefore it is an excellent material for low hedges.

An exotic plant that bewitches with its beauty and aroma.

Only young plants are suitable for planting. The long taproot is an obstacle to transplanting adult specimens. This shrub is unpretentious and drought-resistant, but with good care flowering is more abundant.

Spirea

It is a deciduous shrub with many species and varieties. Its height depends on the species and variety and ranges from 60 cm to 2 m.

Quite a beautiful shrub that can decorate any garden picturesquely.

By flowering time, spireas are divided into two groups:

early flowering (May - June) - Wangutta, Nippon, oak-leaved, they bloom on last year's shoots, so they do not need cardinal pruning;
late blooming (July - August) - birch, Billard, Japanese, Bumald, Douglas, willow, they bloom on the shoots of the current year and need spring pruning.

Flowers in spirea are medium-sized, collected in corymbose or paniculate inflorescences. In most varieties and species, flowering is abundant and long. Many species have white flowers, but there are also varieties with pink and purple flowers.

Spireas are unpretentious shrubs, but they grow better in lighted areas with loose, fertile and humus-rich soil.

Hydrangea

Hydrangea is often referred to as the Queen of the Garden. And there is a reason. In terms of the size of inflorescences, only the viburnum Buldenezh can argue with it. Most hydrangeas bloom in the second half of summer.

Hydrangea is a popular planting crop for parks, gardens and home gardens.

The most common types of shrubs.

In hydrangea large-leaved flowers are collected in corymbose inflorescences, which have a diameter of up to 20 cm. The height of this species ranges from 60 cm to 2 m. The color of flowers is varied: white, pink, blue. The vast majority of varieties bloom on last year's shoots. Large-leaved hydrangea is not hardy. To wait for flowering next year, it must be very carefully covered.
Hydrangea paniculata. This is a completely frost-hardy shrub, it can reach a height of up to 5 meters. The inflorescence is most often pyramidal, up to 30 cm long, the color is white, which in some varieties turns pink over time.
There is a liana-like species - petiolate hydrangea. If there is a support, it can climb to a height of 25 m. If it is not there, it turns into a ground cover plant. The flowers of the petioled hydrangea are white and do not last long.
Treelike hydrangea is slightly less resistant to winter cold, grows up to 3 meters, has fluffy spherical inflorescences, usually white. It blooms on the shoots of the current year and requires a thorough spring pruning.

All hydrangeas are acidophiles. They love acidic soil and acidic watering.

Caucasian pear

The plant is widespread in the Caucasus.

At home - in the Caucasus, in Armenia and Azerbaijan - this is a majestic tree up to 26 m tall. In the middle lane, the crown does not rise by more than four and a half meters. This is an unpretentious plant that can easily do without watering. At home, it is very decorative, especially at the time of flowering, painted in White color flowers of 5 petals. They are collected in corymbose inflorescences. The Caucasian pear is also good at the time of fruiting, covered in abundance with small round strongly rusted fruits. But all this beauty can be seen only in warm regions. In the middle lane, the tree does not bloom and does not bear fruit, and in severe winters it can freeze slightly.

Honeysuckle

We are more accustomed to seeing fruit honeysuckle. Its berries can be enjoyed in early summer. But in the family of honeysuckle varieties with edible berries, there are literally a few. All the rest are ornamental shrubs or vines.

Shrub species are winter-hardy. They can grow up to 4 meters, are decorative both at the time of flowering and during the ripening of berries. Shrubs such as Tatar honeysuckle, Maak, Maksimovich are quite suitable for hedges. They can also grow as a small tree.

Almonds are an ornamental shrub that a novice gardener can easily grow.

If the plant is grafted, it will grow as a tree, in ordinary culture it is a shrub. Its height is small - up to 3 meters. The most remarkable thing is the bloom. Flowers are double, their diameter is up to 3.5 cm. The main range is pink. The only pity is that it does not last long. Immediately after it, young leaves begin to bloom. It is at this time that the luizeania can be cut off so that the flowering next year is abundant.

Luiseania will calmly endure frosts down to -30 degrees, but suffers greatly from winter thaws. In this plant, the genetic period of deep dormancy lasts only a month. Therefore, a thaw, which can be long, will cause swelling of flower buds, and if then frost follows, it will destroy them.

Rhododendron

It is one of the most beautiful and early flowering ornamental shrubs. He comes from the east. The genus of rhododendrons unites almost 600 species, among which there are deciduous, evergreen and intermediate species. Rhododendron is complex in culture. It grows best where the summer is cool and humid, and the winter is not too frosty. In continental climates, the plant feels uncomfortable. A flower grower will have to work hard to tame this capricious sissy. Most rhododendrons are not frost-hardy; they can survive a harsh winter only under a solid shelter. Although there are varieties, for example, helsinki University or Elite, which do without it, they are not afraid of frosts down to -35 degrees. Deciduous species are more resistant.

Treelike peonies bloom from May to early July. Flowering of each variety lasts up to 3 weeks. This culture is more capricious than herbaceous peonies but the result is worth any effort.

Flowers can be simple and have 5 petals. There are also those who can have up to 180 of them. Terry species differ in larger colors.
