Many people admit that changing activities is beneficial, but most of us come to the countryside to simply relax surrounded by family and friends. Beautiful flower beds in this case, it is only a pleasant addition to your vacation. Therefore, we choose unpretentious flowers for the garden, which do not require significant effort to grow. But this does not mean that hardy plants are less attractive or bloom less profusely. Among the unpretentious crops, you can choose those that will serve as a real decoration for the garden and will not require special attention.

There are a lot of plants that do not require special care. First of all, let's figure out which of them we need. So, in order for the garden to make a pleasant impression, you need to decide on the priorities.

A special type of lawn. The usual one requires care, especially at first, when the weeds are still trying to reclaim their living space. It is much easier to use or with the inclusion of white clover. This garden decoration does not need frequent trimming and looks great.
Vertical gardening. Many recklessly allow hops onto their plots. It's really unpretentious plant, which is capable of braiding large spaces in a fairly short time. But the spread of hops is very difficult to control. This aggressor plant can do more harm than good. If any vertical surface needs landscaping, then it is better to use girlish grapes for this purpose.

In order for the flowerbed to bloom as long as possible, unpretentious perennials are needed, which will form the basis of the flower garden.

Beauty from year to year: the most unpretentious perennials

When choosing perennials, focus on maximum dimensions already an adult plant. Groups of such crops are compiled according to their size and flowering time. In this case, it is necessary to take into account light, humidity and soil preferences. If watering may be difficult, you should choose drought-resistant flowers. Perennials, as a rule, do not need protection from frost and tolerate summer heat well.

Plants can be planted in tiers so that the tallest ones create a background for the shorter ones, or act as a center from which shorter flowers radiate in circles or rays. Even inexperienced gardeners are happy to plant the following perennial flowers on their site:

Peony. Blooming in late spring attracts everyone's attention to this plant. In all subsequent times it will be just a green bush. A peony can keep you happy for 25 years without needing a transplant.

Only summer we bloom...

Annuals are often called simply annuals because they bloom throughout one summer. These plants are the most suitable for forming carpet beds. With their help, they create those complex geometric designs that delight others. Perennials grow over time, so they are not suitable for precision work. And they are able to change accents and colors every year, reviving patterns and giving them new attractiveness.

Popular and most in demand annuals:

Petunia. This plant is great for flower beds, borders and even decorating balconies. In addition to their pleasant appearance, they have an aroma that is familiar to many from childhood.
Nasturtium. The elegant orange gramophone of the flower and the rounded leaves of nasturtium look very positive. Orange color awakens, according to scientists, only positive emotions.
Salvia. If the area has a lot of sun and moisture, then salvia should definitely be planted. Undemanding to any other factors, it will color your flowerbed with red “Christmas tree” inflorescences.
Marigolds (calendula). Golden calendula daisies not only serve as a wonderful decoration. It is also a noble honey plant. It is possible that this information will be useful to you over time. Who knows?

Spring planting annual plants should not be particularly tedious: routine work can ruin the entire effect of the result. Therefore, it is better to use seed plants rather than grow seedlings. If it is possible to buy ready-made seedlings, this can make the process of creating a flower garden that uses unpretentious annuals not only easy, but also visual. You won't have to wait long for the result.

Petunia, salvia and nasturtiums. Who would have thought that the flowers we are used to seeing since childhood could be so beautiful. And nasturtium is simply positive incarnate

Calendula (marigolds), asters and marigolds. These plants have different periods of abundant flowering, but we have collected them together to show how beautiful your garden can be, regardless of the season.

Positivity from a small onion

If someone decided to choose a leader among unpretentious flowers, he would stop at. Most of these plants are not bothered by shading, and insufficient moisture only stimulates the growth of their root system. However, with proper care, the bulbs will respond to the gardener with flowering that does not require advertising.

Lilies and gladioli. Plants stretched upward seem to want to get closer to your face, so that you can once again be convinced of how luxurious and fantastically attractive they are.

Choose:

Tulips. There are as many varieties of this plant as there are places for their use. With the grace of their shape and bright colors, tulips have captivated many flower growers. May and June are their flowering time.

Daffodils, crocuses, muscari and hyacinths. All listed plants are early flowering. The only condition for their successful development is the absence of strong winds.
Lilies. The most preferable position for a lily when it is top part is located in the sun, and the leg itself is in the shade. Abundant flowering and variety of varieties are its signature feature. By the way, the lily does not tolerate excessive attention to itself: it should not be disturbed for 3-4 years.
Gladioli. A flower that, according to legend, grew from a gladiator's sword cannot be capricious. However, well-groomed flowers are noticeably different from those left to their own devices. Gladiolus is a lover of sun, abundant watering and loose loamy or sandy loam soil.
Dahlias. Good air circulation is important for dahlias, but strong winds they don't like. But their luxurious flowers need a lot of sun. Planted in the right place, they will fully justify the legend according to which dahlias were once grown only in royal gardens.

Material about the rules of caring for dahlias will also be useful:

Before planting plants, you need to stock up on minimal knowledge about their preferences. Proper placement of bulbous plants is the key to their successful growth and abundant flowering.

Daffodils and hyacinths, dahlias. Bulbs begin to bloom in early spring. Daffodils and hyacinths are among the first to appear. And dahlias will delight from August until late autumn

Picky biennial flowering plants

Forget-me-nots. Surprisingly, in languages different nations the name of this flower has the same meaning! Flowering in early spring makes forget-me-nots suitable for any garden.
Garden violet. Large flowers, which we used to call viola or pansies, do not leave anyone indifferent. They are beautiful and that says it all.
Turkish cloves. Enchanting coloring, undemanding nature and long-lasting flowering make the Turkish carnation a leader among biennials that take root well in our gardens.

Daisies and forget-me-nots are flowers that can awaken love and endless tenderness in a person’s soul. It’s enough just to look at them without looking away

Viola and Turkish cloves. Looking at these plants, you never cease to be amazed at the boundlessness of Nature’s imagination, which created the world around us so diverse and charming

As you can see, there are many unassuming plants. They can also become a decoration for your garden. But even the most unpretentious flowers for the garden require respect for their preferences and at least minimal care. Therefore, you still can’t do without watering, weeding and fertilizing. But persistent plants are not afraid of pests, they are not afraid of diseases and winter cold, and they practically do not need pruning.

Labor-intensive and not always successful cultivation of capricious gladioli, roses and pelargonium is not to the liking of every gardener. Many people find the prospect of annually planning flower beds and sowing annual seeds daunting. Often there is simply no time for fertilizing, growing seedlings, storing bulbs and winter shelter.

At the same time, a summer cottage or Vacation home I want to decorate it somehow, add bright colors, create a blooming island.

In this case, unpretentious perennial flowers and plants for the garden will become a real salvation. They are also suitable for improving problem areas where other garden “sissies” will not grow.
