Many gardeners doubt planting this shrub, considering that lilac will not survive the harsh winter. In this regard, you can insure and choose those varieties that are intended for cultivation in harsh climates. These varieties include terry lilac "Alice Harding" and "Paul Tirion." If there are doubts in durability, it is possible to cover the shrub with any covering material in the deep autumn.

Spirea is a shrub that, during flowering, takes on a cascade shape due to the gravity of numerous small white flowers. This variety is subdivided into sub-varieties, where instances are distinguished, blooming in spring  or in the summer. Thanks to this feature, you can enjoy the beauty of shrubs from May to October ( drop two bushes alongside different periods  flowering). Podort can reach a height of 2.5 meters. To avoid this, immediately after flowering shoots must be cut. The most popular among gardeners are Japanese varieties "Golden Princess" and "Shiroban." These shrubs are quite tiny and, with the right approach to cultivation, reach a height of only 70 cm.

Buddley - designed for growing in regions with mild climate. Quite a thermophilic plant, but it will survive even a cold winter if it is pre-spud and covered with spruce branches. Its popularity is inferior to the two representatives listed above, although it is not deserved. Buddley is different flowering time. Gardeners can enjoy the beauty of large lilac clusters from July to October. If the region has warm weather in early autumn, the flowering time shifts slightly in the appropriate direction. This shrub, if desired, can be given a beautiful and unusual shape. Every time after flowering shrub pruned  - remove reddish shoots and branches. Free growth of shrubs contributes to a height of 3 meters. Hortensia - a tree plant that pleases the views of large inflorescences. Easily tolerates the harshest winters. Requires pruning of shoots and twigs twice a year. The first procedure is carried out after flowering in the fall, where it is necessary to remove all the shoots that have not yet regained the woody form. The second pruning of the shrub is carried out in the spring - pruning the tops of the branches to the highest unblown bud. From the needs can also be distinguished regular carrying out feeding.  The compositions for the implementation of the procedure should be selected with a high content of iron and magnesium.

This is just the most common types of shrubs for the gardenable to easily transfer the fierce frosts. Before planting any plant variety, it is recommended to study all the information necessary to create the conditions for a comfortable stay of the selected shrub.

Perennial shade-loving shrubs for the garden

Shade-tolerant shrubs  - Another kind of popular plants for growing in the garden. They are often planted by novice gardeners who have just purchased a summer cottage and are trying to decorate it.

Usually, shade-loving shrubs  land along the cottage house and other hozpostroyek. They can cover the unpresentable view of buildings and at the same time not harm the very growth of the plant.

For landing in the shade suitable shrubs such as:

Wisteria - can reach a height of 18 meters. These flowering shrubs are often used to decorate any erected arch or ugly structure. It is enough just to stretch the threads, first wrapping them around a bush or branch, in the shape you need. Small flowers with a bright aroma bloom from late spring to early fall. Weigela are low shrubs, reaching only 70–80 cm in height. Pink or purple flowers begin to appear in late April. With proper care can bloom until late autumn. As due should be constant shade and warm weather. With the first night frosts, the shrub will throw off all its flowers. Deutzia is a flowering shrub not large sizes. It begins its flowering at the end of spring. The flowers are small, white or pink color. Using the action create beautiful compositions, planting several shrubs together. To maintain the resulting beauty, shoots and branches are recommended to be regularly pruned.

All the above types of shrubs for the garden easily tolerate the winter, but in regions with a harsh climate it is better to cover them with any suitable material.

Fast-growing shrubs for hedges

Fast-growing shrubs are also particularly popular with novice gardeners. Their task is to build an attractive hedge. Make it easier with shrubs that are small in height.

To create a hedge are used the following fast growing shrubs  to give:

Cornel - its berries can be used in traditional medicine for the treatment of any disease. The shrub can reach a height of 5 meters, so it is often planted to form an external fence. In the period from March to May you can admire the beautiful flowers of this plant. In the summer, the cornel will delight the gardeners with a delicious berry. The crown of the trees is quite thick and requires regular maintenance in the form of pruning of shoots and branches of the branches. Barberry - low varieties are used for the hedge. Thanks to the educated thorny shrubs, you can achieve an impassable fence. Because of the dense crown, the barberry easily forms into the correct form of a hedge. It is enough to carry out regular processing in the form of spraying infrequently, holding complementary food no more than once a month, and also as necessary to trim the tops of the branches. Tern - with free growth can reach a height of 3 meters. But to design a hedge with this shrub, regular pruning and the formation of the correct shape should be carried out. A distinctive feature of the presented plant is the beauty of the hedge during flowering. From the flowers comes a bright almond fragrance that attracts the attention of most gardeners. After the first frost in the fall, the thorns can be eaten.

All these types of shrubs are also related to fruit varieties. Therefore, in this case, they carry two functions.

Shrubs for hedges, video:

Fruit shrubs

Fruit shrubs  land on garden plots  more often. Needless to say that almost at any cottage you can meet currants or cherries, plums or raspberries. Today, these berries are more used for planting a beautiful and blooming garden. This is understandable, because each of them in the spring dissolves lovely flowers.

If you do not have enough space at the dacha, and you can not afford to plant flowering and ornamental shrubs, use fruit varieties. Plant several varieties at once.

For example, raspberries are not only red in color, as many are used to seeing, but also white, black and even purple. The same features have a seemingly ordinary, gooseberry or currant.

Allocate space on the landing site fruit shrubs. With their help, you can create a unique and attractive design of a vegetable garden with garden beds for growing vegetables.

Pay attention to this material - Rhododendron: landing and care.

Evergreen shrub

Evergreen shrub used for planting as a decor, as well as to create a hedge. Here are often planted varieties such as:

Honeysuckle - reaches a height of only 50 cm. It grows well in the shade, does not require special physical costs for growing and knowledge of grooming. For the winter, it is recommended to cover the shrub with a special material. Rhododendrons - some varieties of the presented species can retain the leaves for 5-7 years. Grow low, do not require abundant watering, well tolerate shading. For the winter, you should also cover the plants with a covering material. Magnolia - this beautiful shrub with a height of not more than 1 meter and beautiful buds can keep leaves on the branches for several years. In the summer, the leaves get a ripe green shade, but in winter the color changes to a copper shade.

Shrubs are planted in spring or autumn, depending on the specifics of cultivation. Therefore, before planting any shrub is recommended to fully explore all the principles of care.

Top dressing of bushes in the fall

Many are interested in the question than to feed the bushes in the fall. It all depends on the characteristics of the plant: one requires magnesium, the second fluorine and other components.

Nitrogen-based fertilizers should not be used, since in the autumn such nutrients will lead to the growth of new shoots and twigs. Before the onset of frost, new processes will not have time to stiffen, as a result of which they will die.

The best ornamental shrubs to give

Options for the use of ornamental shrubs in suburban areas are diverse: hedges, group, single planting; shrubs can be a background for garden compositions, and their "protagonists". I propose by joint efforts to make a list of the “most-most” - the most popular, the most beautiful, the most unpretentious — ornamental shrubs for the garden.

Spirea

What is good: unpretentious, frost-resistant, luxuriantly and blooms for a long time, an excellent honey plant, grows well.

How to use:  for laying of hedges; in group plantings and bush compositions; compact species (for example, Japanese spirea) are suitable for rockeries and curbs.

Where to plant:  spirea is undemanding to soils, it grows both in the sun and in partial shade (note that the requirements of different types of light and soil moisture may vary slightly).

How to care:

Today, many species and varieties of chubushnik are cultivated, differing in flower shape, aroma nuances, bush size and flowering period. There are even variegated forms (although, for my taste, snow-white flowers of Chubushnik look better against the background of dark green foliage). In detail about this plant article tells Chubushnik - garden "jasmine"

What is good:  blooms profusely, very fragrant, frost-resistant, rarely affected by pests and diseases.

How to use:  in single and group plantings, in bush compositions.

Where to plant:  preferably in a sunny place, but possible in the penumbra; desirable fertile soil with good moisture; Chubushnik does not tolerate stagnant water.

How to care:  pruning (old branches are cut every 4-5 years, thickening shoots - every year at the end of summer, dry - every spring); watering in arid weather, dressing in spring and autumn.

Viburnum

Viburnum, which fruits serve as valuable medicinal raw materials, most often grows in our gardens. Its foliage, changing color from bright green in spring to purple-red with green veins in the fall, makes the bush elegant at any time of the year. Details about Kalina, its cultivation and care can be found here in this article.

What is good: frost-resistant, unpretentious, well tolerated shading, decorative throughout the season; the fruits of many species and varieties are edible and healing.

How to use:  in single and group plantings, including in combination with other ornamental shrubs, as well as trees and conifers.

Where to plant:  most species and varieties of viburnum undemanding to the conditions of growth; prefer well-moistened soils without stagnant water.

How to care:  Viburnum is often affected by pests, from which it must be protected by treating with special preparations; the rest of the care is regular pruning (removal of dry, old, thickening shoots), mulching pristvolnyh circles, watering in arid weather and spring dressing complex mineral fertilizers.

Depending on the species, the “appearance” of a dog rose varies, and it is easy to choose a plant for your garden with the properties that are most valuable to you: someone wants to collect vitamin fruits in the fall (by the way, you can read about their use in the Healing Dogrose note) someone needs a dense and prickly hedge, and someone needs beautiful flowers ... And in this, the terry forms of rose hips, in my opinion, are not inferior to roses

What is good:  exceptionally unpretentious, easy to tolerate transplanting and pruning, grows quickly; Many species of wild rose produce useful fruits rich in vitamin C.

How to use:  wild rose hedge will very quickly become completely impassable)); This shrub is also suitable for single planting and use in tree-shrub compositions.

Where to plant:  preferably in a sunny place, but can grow in partial shade, under the canopy of trees.

How to care:  practically does not require care.

Forsythia

The only thing that you should definitely take into account when buying a sapling is that the forsythia is thermophilic, and not all types of plants are suitable for planting in cold regions - some even freeze in harsh winters during harsh winters and cannot see them in color. More information about the features of care, about planting and the types of this plant will tell the article Golden forsythia

What is good: blooms very early and abundantly, exclusively decorative during the flowering period, resistant to diseases.

How to use:  looks good in a single planting - on the lawn or surrounded by early-flowering bulbous ones; can be combined with other shrubs in group plantings and used for hedges.

Where to plant:  on light fertile soil; preferred solar plot, protected from cold winds; it is necessary to exclude stagnation of moisture, because forsythia does not tolerate excessive moisture.

How to care:  for the winter the plant is well mulched, and the shoots bend down to the ground so that they are under a layer of snow.

Now there are many varieties and hybrids of lilac, but this shrub is still loved by gardeners and grows with many in the summer cottage. True in small garden  It can be difficult to find a place for such a large plant, but selection here also came to the aid of flower lovers: rather compact varieties were bred (up to 2-3 m in height). Well, in more detail about growing lilac and caring for it, this article will tell

What is good:  unpretentious, frost-resistant, has many varieties and hybrids and is amazingly beautiful at the time of its flowering.

How to use:  lilac bush looks best in a single landing; Often this plant is planted near the house (in the front garden) or the fence, but in the garden the lilac will be in place.

Where to plant:  on a well-lit, sunny plot with cultivated soil; to the composition and fertility of the soil lilac is undemanding, but does not tolerate wetlands; Be sure to leave a large space so that the grown bush is not crowded: most varieties of lilac are tall and spreading.

How to care:  if you prune faded buds in time, next year  bloom will be more lush; It is recommended every spring to cut the root growth and excess (too old, dry, thickening, damaged) shoots.

Hydrangea

The large-leaved hydrangea and paniculate hydrangea are rather hardy; under the snow cover, they successfully endure the winter cold. Elegant inflorescences are suitable for cutting: they stand in a vase for a long time. And they can also be dried by hanging in a dry, ventilated room, and used for winter bouquets.

What is good:  long flowering, unpretentiousness and the ability to grow in acidic soil, unsuitable for most garden crops.

How to use:  in a single planting or in combination with other shade-tolerant shrubs (rhododendron or holly); hydrangea looks good next to the hosts, ferns; compact forms of hydrangea can be planted in flower beds and flower beds.

Where to plant:  in partial shade, on sour, well-moistened fertile soil; hydrangea prefers protected from the wind and will feel good on the north side of the house.

How to care:  basic care is to maintain a constant soil moisture - hydrangea is very moisture-loving; faded buds pruned; for the winter in cold regions recommend shelter spruce.

Hawthorn

What is good:  unpretentiousness and decorative; the fruits of many types of hawthorn are suitable for processing - from them prepare confitures and jelly; some types of hawthorn possess healing properties, and in the thickets of this shrub birds love to settle.

How to use:  mainly in group plantings and hedges; tree forms look good one by one; practiced and container cultivation of certain species.

Where to plant:  on a sunny plot with loose permeable soil; in order for the hawthorn to bloom well and set fruits, it needs to be in the sun at least 6 hours a day.

How to care:  practically does not require care.

What is good:  unpretentiousness, the ability to grow in the shade, beautiful flowering.

How to use:  great for decorating garden buildings - a fast-growing fieldfare will hide an unattractive fence and disguise a barn; can be used in group plantings with other bushes.

Where to plant:  the fieldfare can grow both in the open solar site, and in partial shade; undemanding to the soil, but grows better on nutrient loose and well-moistened soil; It tolerates a long drought.

How to care:  the only thing the gangster will require is the timely and regular removal of the root shoots.

What kind of bushes would you add to this list? Which ones do you think are the best and why?

Marina, Nekrasovskoye

Ornamental shrubs for the garden and garden - shrub rose (photo)

These species tolerate the winter, they can be planted in the northern part of the site. But the spireas, chubushnik and briar love warmly and will be grateful if you take care of the weatherization before the cold season begins.

Another sign of classification - in relation to lighting. Lilac and fieldfare planted in those parts of your garden, where at any time of the year there is enough sunlight. For shaded areas suitable for these types of shrubs:

• warty euonymus,

• turf is red,

• privet ordinary.

I would like to draw the attention of gardeners to the fact that choosing seedlings for landscaping should be based on the type of soil. Japanese aiva loves warmth, but is rather unpretentious to the ground. Its decoration is not only small flowers and leaves, but also fruits. Thus, this modest shrub will delight you in the spring with its flowering, in the summer - with greenery, and in the fall - with decorative berries. Dogwood grows well on moist soil. Its inflorescences pleasantly smell sweet, and the unusual color of the shoots gives the unpretentious bush some exotic nature.

Depending on the variety, leaves may vary in color: from rich green with light edging to dark bronze. The beautiful forsythia blooms in early spring, when most of the trees did not wake up after winter. How fabulously this bush covered with bright yellow flowers looks! And the requirements of this royal persona are also high: fertile soil and moderate watering. For southern areas with sandy soil, the ideal inhabitant is tamarisk. And in the period of flowering from his eyes just do not tear!

Diversity of colors on the site

Relatively speaking, the decorative value of shrubs can be divided into deciduous and flowering. What type to choose - the decision of this question depends on the desired effect.

To create a landscape composition you need to know everything about the texture and color of leaves or needles. Let it not seem boring evergreen or decorative bushes. In beauty, they are in no way inferior to their blossoming congeners. Well, how can someone not like the tart smell of juniper?

This coniferous plant is actively used both in topiary art, and when planning park and country avenues. Beautiful evergreen shrubs for the garden - mahonia with foliage of a dark shade and multi-colored panicles or boxwood, which is simply created for curly hairstyle.

The change of seasons can be observed on the color of some bushes. For example, the blisters change the color of the leaves: the “Aurea” variety throws out reddish leaves from the buds, at the beginning of summer they turn almost orange, then dull slightly, and in the autumn they explode in the color of bright gold. By the way, if you plant a bubble in the shaded area, you will get a steady green tint. The barberry also gives a wide palette of colors.

Depending on the type of crown bush may be purple or golden, emerald or purple. They look especially elegant along low fences separating the borders of the site.

A real fairy tale is flowering ornamental shrubs. Hosts will delight the riot of colors, bees - wide scope for work. In early spring, lupus and forsythia bloom first, then lush viburnum caps and modest miniature bouquets of white sod bloom. Then we are intoxicated with the aromas of jasmine bells and curly bunches of the Queen of the Russian lilac garden. Broom and rhododendron, silverweed and spirae add beauty to our country houses.

Planting shrubs: general rules

Like any ornamental plants, planting and replanting garden bushes should be in the fall. The main thing is to make sure that the shrub has had time to take root well before the onset of frost. First of all, you should choose a place for planting.

Consider the type of shrub, as we have said above. It is necessary to remove the weeds and carefully remove the top layer of soil (especially - if the landing is done on the lawn). Next, dig a hole. Its dimensions should significantly exceed the width of the root system. Try on a seedling. The longest root should not be cramped in it.

The bottom of the pit and the wall must be loosened with a pitchfork in order to saturate the soil with oxygen. It is recommended when planting to make compost or peat, as well as add slow-acting fertilizer.

Then put the seedling next to the peg, straighten all the roots, cover with earth. Foot gently seal the ground. Around the pit of the soil, make a roller so that the water during the irrigation does not spread, but leaves right under the root. From above poured heavily sapling.

Planted shrubs need to be tied to a peg. This is done to ensure that the root does not shift, and in the future the plant will continue to stretch upwards. Apply a bandage of soft material at a height of about 30 cm from the ground.

Contrary to popular belief, garden ornamental shrubs do not require careful maintenance. Forget the gardener's stereotype imposed by the directors of “soap operas”: he spends his days in the park near the luxurious mansion, cutting green shoots and tirelessly forming the crowns of lush bushes.

In fact, plants need only periodic hilling and proper watering. Of course, it is necessary to trim the extra branches to give a well-groomed shape, and remove old shoots. Cold-resistant viburnum and lilac do not require preparation for the cold season. And roses, hydrangeas and rhododendrons need only be covered with reeds or spruce branches.

White is the color of tenderness and purity. For most people, it causes pleasant sensations and emotions. The more interesting are the plants that can decorate themselves with dazzling, snow-like or cloud-like inflorescences. In the family of cultivated species there are ornamental shrubs with white flowers, which at the time of the massive blooming of buds look especially attractive.

Ornamental shrubs with white flowers: properties of some species

Among the flowering shrubs there are those on which only white inflorescences bloom. Such crops include jasmine (chubushnik), black elderberry, viburnum Buldenezh, spirea. This also includes fruiting species: viburnum, rowan, hawthorn.

Chubushnik  - tall shrub with large foliage looks modest and does not attract attention until such time as tender white buds begin to bloom on it. Quite large, dazzling white flowers exude a delicate fragrance spreading over a long distance. There are among them terry and not terry copies. The first look even more impressive. Chubushnik begins to bloom at the end of May, the buds stay on the shoots for a long time, attracting bees and other pollinating insects.

And the inflorescences of large balls completely cover the snow miracle.

Spirea  popularly called the bride. Such a name arose due to small white-flowered flowers, which completely cover the shoots hanging down to the ground. There are so many that it seems the bush has no leaves at all.

Ornamental shrubs with white flowers: varietal features

In every culture of ornamental shrubs there are varieties that tend to form white buds.

Hortensia "Annabelle" - large-flowered species, which is covered with snow-white buds in the second half of summer and remains in this form until late autumn. The flowers are collected in large, dense balls, reaching 20 cm in diameter.

Hydrangea Vanilla Freise, paniculata, blooming in white - one of the most beautiful varieties of this species. Pyramidal inflorescence strikes by the transition of colors: at the base it is absolutely white, closer to the middle is pink and at the top again white with a cream shade.

Particularly interesting are curly cultures with white flowers. In this series the most attractive, related to large-flowered species. Under favorable growth conditions, its lashes are completely covered with snow-white flowers with protruding yellow stamens from the middle. They are large, 5-6 cm in diameter, and look like stars, sparkling against the background of dense green.

Ornamental shrubs  with white flowers is a real decoration of any garden. They look great in single and group planting.
