All like bright flax flowers among lawn grass. Relying on the experience of Forumhouse users, we will tell you how to equip a lawn with flowers, which annual and perennial plants can be planted in a lawn, and how to do it right.

What flowers can be put in the lawn

The best flats for lawns are tulips and other bulbies. The landing is carried out in early autumn, when the temperature of the soil at a depth of 15 cm drops to 9 degrees - if the soil is warmer, the tulips will be worse than rooted. Tulips can be planted directly into the ground under the grass, but it will be more correct to use when landing a plastic basket or a deep tray with a lattice bottom.

First neatly, with respect to the lawn, cut the piece of turf in size of the basket. The excavation should not be shallow - let the basket of the basket to the edge of the excavation will remain another centimeter three. If the soil is clay, supar on the bottom of the pit 2-3 centimeters of sand. Basket Fill with a mixture of land and sand (sand should not be too much, the main thing is that the soil is not too dense!). It will not be superfluous to add autumn fertilizers (according to the instructions). Do not forget that the bulbs in no case should come into contact with the fertilizer!

Basket (in Soviet times they used a jar from under herring, having done in the bottom of the hole with nails) needed for what. Tulips are well winter in the ground, even in the regions with a truly harsh climate. But every two years they are recommended to replant. If this is not done, the bulbs will go deep, and the flowers on the plants will be smaller. The basket will allow you to easily remove bulbs for transplant, you are guaranteed do not cut the bulbs and do not damage the grass - just as neatly remove the dend and then return it to the place.

Clean, healthy bulbs can be planted immediately, the bulbs with stains and other damage signs will need to land and must be treated with a fungicide for routing the planting material.

Choose the right depth for planting tulips - it should be equal to three bulbs altitudes.

The depth of the tulip planting is measured from the bulbs.

If the ground is heavy, plant a flower bulb for 2-3 centimeters smaller from the desired depth.

The basket must be filled with soil tightly, literally overflowing so that neither in it nor near the emptiness. Subsequently, the Earth will definitely seek, so the soil should be more, then the lawn will be smooth, without pamph. After landing, we neatly refund the Dern into place, slightly press it to the ground. After a few days the shovel cut can no longer be seen. In the spring, shortly after the end of flowering, primroses should be mounted with lawn grass. There are other flowers that can be scared without fear to ruin them.

Daisies species, crocuses, daffodils, Veronica, Bowls ... Narcissal and Bowls need to give time to begte and tighten a little.

Care for such a lawn is simple. For mowing a lawn with flowers on which tulips or other bulbs grow, put a mower of centimeters for nine - then the plant will remain sufficiently enough of the sheet to form a new bulb.

Burgundy ribbon.

Repeat: so, right in the grass, only unpretentious bulbous ones are planted. In the lawn with flowers, all plants, except tulips, etc., planted directly in the grass, are good only in photos. In life, they will be like field weeds.

It is more correct to do this: place places under the flowerbed, to updo them with a border ribbon (you can narrow - 10 cm) so that it performs 1.5-2 cm above the level of soil, then put the lawn, and then put the flower beds.

If you put on a lawn roses, do not forget that the site under these bushes is better to prepare first, because they require a deeper soil processing than lawn. And the bushes can be planted after laying the lawn, at a time convenient for you. Many experienced gardeners say that it is difficult to grow these flowers on the lawn, and it is undesirable. Roses need a rosary or flowerbeds - it's all that you need to create your site, but according to plan.

The border tape is installed after the preparation of the soil under the lawn - it will be easier to take into account the laws level. If you put the tape in advance, it will prevent the soil.

Not only a border tape, but also a groove depth of 10-15 centimeters (and with the same width) will be able to prevent the stubborn cereals to creep onto a flower garden, the wall must be rinsed, vertical. But such an edge of the flower lawn will be done only or on very dense, clay soil, or with a strong, dense drainage. Border tape is the best option. If fruit bushes grow on the lawn, and you are worried that the grass will drag the root neck if you want to grow in the lawn such flowers as hosts, roses, irises and plant other plants, it will be the most right solution.

Burgundy tape can be replaced by plastic clapboard. Many gardeners believe that it is even more convenient and more practical than different types of border tape. Go through construction stores or markets and pay attention to the plastic lining of 12 centimeters wide. The smallest color is called "chocolate", so it is cheaper than others.

For gardeners brown color, on the contrary, preferably because of its unimprovability. Plastic lining is easy to put it, it looks gently. Install the lining so that at least three centimeters remained on the surface of the earth - then it will be convenient to work as a mower, without fearing to damage the flower lawn.

Red flax and other plants collected together form a multicolored sea of \u200b\u200bflowers. Pick up the plants correctly - and they will bloom from the beginning of the summer until the autumn itself.

Butterflies and bees Very fond of motley floral glads. Here, the butterfly-Golubanka drinks nectar from sulfur (Cosmos Sulphureus).

Preparing soil and planting plants

1. Soil On the site under the lawn, we reap for a depth of about 20 cm, break the major wrenches of the earth. Then burst them with robbles.
Tip:with a roundclum device, use the garden hose for markup.

2. in two weeks Plot again handle rake and remove sprouted weeds. A few days later, repeat the procedure again.

3. For uniform distribution Seeds from a flower mix on the surface of the soil to them mix dry sand, small sawdust, auxiliary components (for example, vermiculite). In some mixtures, such components are already part of.

4. Seeds post Armor and slightly endure the soil with a plank or special roller.

5. Seddled plot plenty. Before germination, the soil seed should always be slightly wet. And when shoots will appear, water the plants as needed.

And in a few weeks you will not recognize this clearing: it seems that the flower abundance was always here.

Always bloom, blossom everywhere!

Having created such floral glade in the garden, spread light accents: it may be a narrow strip along the fence, and a small island in the center of the lawn. Or decorate the colors for a short time unused garden sections.

Sunny place and well explosion, free of soil weeds - and flowering will be lush. The soil must be prepared for about four weeks Before the planned sowing or even from the fall of the previous year. Sow flowers from starting from mid-April to July.

You can always pick up lawn floral mixtures that are suitable for your garden- From the moisture-loving (aqua mixture) to drought-resistant (a mixture "Desert"). Flower compositions are selected in height, gamma paint, flowering time and preferred location. Types and varieties in mixtures are well combined with each other, besides, buying such a mixture, you can get rid of yourself from numerous bags with seeds. A small amount of seeds is needed: depending on the mixture, it is already enough of one to 5 g of the seed material for 1 square meter. M (accurate number is indicated on the package). If you sow too thick, fast-growing species will suppress those that grow slower, and the flower carpet will not be so distrect.

Until germination passes from one to three weeks during which the land in no way should save. If sowing was produced later than usual, watering the flowers are needed in the morning and in the evening. After another 4-6 weeks, the first buds are revealed. Caring for the melania with summer colors is mainly reduced to moderate watering into dry periods. A small feeding of plants during the summer contributes to an increase in flowering duration. Those who want to admire summer handsome, such as Esholovation, Cosmeya or Vasilki, can grow them in boxes and pots at their balcony or terrace. In this case, it is best to choose a mixture with low-speed or middle colors (a mixture of "mini" with a height of 15-50 cm) so that during the rain or strong wind the plants are not elevated.

Emboss landscape in a zone with abundant sunlight You can, using the Fiber Machine "Solar" of the company "Russian Garden - NK". The mixture consists of 18 seed species and does not require careful care. The colors defining the tone include Iberis, Sage Motley, Linnut Moroccan, Helipteruum, fragrant velvets, and a twiceper-free cosmy (Cosmos Bipinnatus) with flowers of a wide variety of shades.

In drawers and pots

Seeds on the tape allow you to achieve uniform sowing:

• Fill the boxes with floral soil, sneak it and make a groove 1 cm deep.
• Put ribbons with seeds on the bottom of the groove, pour, pour the land and break again.

Southed in a wicker basket Diverse remind poppy thickets along the fields with grain crops.

Romantic and festively But at the same time, a combination of poppy, ammoni large, purple cosmei and anxoloculation looks at ease.

Tip:remove plants only when they are completely covered. Even if the flowers have already been slightly faded, they still create certain color accents, and in combinations that resemble wild, they can safely leave them further ...

The selection of plants for the country site depends on many factors. The main is where the lawn will be located (South, Eastern side, place in the shade under the trees or sunny glade), if you have the opportunity to care for the lawn, and which flower composition you want to see.

Specially selected fees of such colors can grow on lawns for several years, without requiring the seasonal formation of flower beds and additional adjustment.

The advantage of perennial flowering plants lies in the fact that they have resistant to frost and sharp temperature drop in the off-season. This means that in the fall they will not need to plant the pots and hide into the premises before the onset of spring.

Options for the arrangement of lawn

There are several options for the formation of a lawn with blooming plants:

• Plant landing alternating in flowering periods. The collection consists of several types of colors - primroses (richly flowering early spring), summer flowers and autumn (astilbi and Chinese Astra flower up to the first frosts). At the flower, it is necessary to plant irises and peonies, lilies, chamomiles and dahlias, and. Different periods of flowering form a landscaped painting changing bright colors.

But what if, having heard about the difficulties of growing lawn grass, you are worried that you simply do not have enough strength to prepare the site, the fight against hard-speaking weeds, painstaking cultivation of seeds, fertilizer, regular watering and cat?

It is formed by such a decorative colorful or single-wheel lawn due to the inclusion in the traditional mixture for lawn grass thirty or even forty meadow colors and cereals.

What is Moorish Lawn

By his appearance, the village lawn is obliged to Masrala (hence the name), which once, many centuries ago, owned part of Spain. Travelers who first set foot on the land of the city of Cordoba - the focus of the center of Moorish art, culture and science, were amazed by the wealth of the refined oasis. Everything in this cozy city was unusually beautiful. But especially beautiful was the garden, broken around the palace. Well-groomed and large, with fountains and, all it was falling on wildflowers, emerald lawn grass and decorative cereals.

The new decision of the usual lawn had to taste to the European nomads. They adopted the custom to plant wild blooming herbs and cereals on deserted sites, partially replacing their neatly cut-off lawns on naturally beautiful, which do not require significant care, flowering meadows - lawns in the Mauritan style.

The advantage of lawns of this type is mainly that they can be placed even in those areas of the garden, where the soil is depleted and drained (or mooring). They do not need to spend a lot of money, and seeds for a long-term blooming lawn pick up very easily. In order for the decorative meadow, the whole season is covered by blossom - it is enough to know the timing of flowering of each plant in the composition.

Grass, flowers and herbs for Mauritan lawn

So, you took the final decision to break the Mauritan lawn at the cottage. Plant seeds for multicolor meadows should choose unpretentious, easy to care. Singing a plot with special mixtures of perennial cereal grasses with the inclusion of perennial and decorative and blooming colors. (The greater the sowing rate, the denser the flowers will grow to each other).

Important! All colors should bloom long. And then, fighting, reset seeds, in order to exist next year again.

Landing of Moorish Lawn - Step-by-step instructions

• Step 1

We liberate the soil from weeds (highly infected areas process with glyphosate several times) and, after about a month, we remove the upper layer of the soil at a depth of 8-10 cm.

• Step 2.

Thoroughly leaving the soil shovel by 25 cm deep and bring low-fat organic fertilizers, sand and peat. It is necessary to do it 8-10 days before sowing.

• Step 3.

We provide a slope of 3graduce for the flow of rainwater from the lawn. (High-quality drainage laying, thereby not allowing the transformation of your flowering lawn into a swamp due to long summer shower).

• Step 4.

Immediately before planting, align and seal the ground with a bayonet shovel and rakes, and then a garden rink. It is recommended to do it in dry weather.

• Step 5.

After alignment, once again we go over the surface of the site with special lawn rakes. This is necessary to remove the bugs again formed after sealing.

• Step 6.

On a flat, soft and moderately moisturized surface, extinguishing a manually mixture for Mauritan lawn mixed with sand in proportions 1: 3 (per 100 g of dry sand accounts for about 0.0001 g of seeds). You can sing the site evenly or make islands from flowers, first having drilled grassy herbs, and between them meadow flowers.

• Step 7.

Immerse the seeds with robbles to a depth of 5 mm, press and produce drip watering (a strong water pressure can blur sowing).

• Step 8.

We hide the area with nonwoven material - in this case, shoots will be uniform and friendly. But even if shoots seem too rare, in no case in any case, do not hurry to learn - the difference is boiling at different times, sometimes the interval can reach 4 weeks.
