Perennial flowers in the garden have clear advantages over annual ones: you don’t need to plant them every year, they are highly decorative and, finally, by choosing the right plants, you can achieve not only the perfection of colors, but also constant flowering in your garden from early spring to late autumn.
When compiling flower arrangement In addition to the timing of flowering, you also need to take into account the size of the plants, the structure and color of their inflorescences.
Did you know? Perennial garden flowers are distinguished by height - low-growing (up to 50 cm), medium-growing (50 - 80 cm) and tall (from 80 cm and above); by type of roots - tuberous, rhizomatous, bulbous, corm.
Perennials blooming in spring
Spring flowers in the country are low-growing ornamental plants; they bloom with small flowers (usually in pastel colors). The timing and duration of flowering strongly depend on weather conditions (early or late spring, warm or cold weather).
Adonis (lat. Adonis) - has about 45 species of annual and perennial plants. Actively used in park and garden art from the 17th century. Blooms in the second half of spring. Stems simple or branched. The inflorescence is a simple basket. The flowers are bright yellow (sometimes red) with glossy petals, solitary (up to 8 outer tepals).
A winter-hardy plant, it grows well in open, illuminated places (light shade is allowed). The preferred soil is light, moist, with organic matter and lime. Adonis really does not like transplants (if necessary, transplant with a clod of earth).
Adonis perennials are most often found in culture:
- downy adonis (A. villosa)- blooms in May, has pubescent stems, reaches a height of up to 30 cm;
- spring adonis (A. vernalis) or adonis- blooms in late April - early May, the only medicinal type of Adonis (often used as a component of heart medications);
- Adonis Amur (A. Amurensis)- characterized by early flowering, bare stems, leaves with long petioles. Japanese breeders have created several hybrids (hinomoto - orange shades, benten - white petals, ramosa - brown with red, etc.).
Important! Adonis is listed in the Red Book and is protected by law. Adonis roots are poisonous (should be taken into account when used independently in treatment). Toxicity protects the plant from pests.
Hyacinth
Oriental hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis) has served as the basis for more than 400 ornamental varieties of hyacinths.
Hyacinths are bulbous; after flowering the green stem dries out. Flowers on a thin peduncle are collected in the form of a brush. They are simple, double and multi-flowered.
Hyacinths prefer illuminated, flat (with a slight slope), protected from the wind areas, with light fertile soils. The groundwater level is at least 50 cm. Although open ground hyacinths are practically not susceptible to pests and diseases, care must be constant (loosen the soil 2-3 times, 3 times before flowering, during the formation of buds and after flowering - add fertilizer, water periodically). 
Simple hyacinths vary in color and are divided into 6 groups:
- white(“Argentina”, “Carnegie”, “Linnosance”, etc.);
- pink(“Pink Pearl”, “Fondant”, “Anna Marie”, etc.);
- red(“General Pelissier”, “La Victoire”, etc.);
- blue(“Myosotis”, “Maria”, “King Lake Blues”, etc.);
- lilac/violet(“Amethyst”, “Bismarck”, “Lord Balfour”);
- yellow/orange(“Yellow Hammer”, “Orange Bowen”).
Did you know? The selection of the only black hyacinth variety, Midnight Mystique, lasted more than 16 years. The new variety was first introduced in 2005 by Thompson Morgan.
Among the terry hyacinths, the most famous are “Prince Arthur”, “Madame Sophie”, “Grootvorst”, “Edison”, “Sun Flower”, etc.; from multi-flowered ones - “Pink Pink Festival”, “White White Festival”, “Blue Blue Festival”).
Crocus
Crocuses (Crocus) are low-growing perennials that bloom in spring and autumn (varieties of the saffron crocus and beautiful crocus species), tubers bulbous plants(about 80 species), with basal leaves. Spring crocus (C. Vernus) is one of the progenitors of cultivated varieties. Since the end of the 19th century, more than 50 ornamental varieties have been bred. These plants are good honey plants. They bloom in March-April. Crocus has been known to mankind for thousands of years, because it is from it that the most expensive seasoning, saffron, is obtained. 
Crocuses love a lot of sun and light, fertile soil. The plant is not afraid of wind. It looks most decorative in groups of several dozen to hundreds of flowers.
Important! Until the crocus leaves completely wither, they cannot be cut (or mowed), since thanks to them the roots accumulate nutrients for the next season.
Among the most popular varieties are the lilac-white “Vangard”, purple “Purpureus grandiflorus”, pale lilac “Ruby Giant”, yellow “Queen of the Blues”, white “Joan of Arc”, etc.

Autumn time still pleases us with an abundance of colors, despite the fact that nature is already beginning to prepare for a period of rest and fade. Flower beds are distinguished by a variety of colors. They create a festive mood. Especially if planted with imagination and love.
Classification of autumn flowers
Autumn flowers delight not only with a variety of colors, but also with quite long flowering periods. Most of them bloom in August and can bloom through September, October, and some into November until frost occurs.
Plants in autumn flower beds can come in a wide variety of colors. Red, orange, yellow, white, pink, lilac, blue... And even colorful.
According to the shape of the flowers and the height of the plant stem, blooming in autumn, can also differ significantly.
All these features can be skillfully used when laying out flower beds. For example, competent gardeners skillfully combine plants according to color scheme, as well as by flowering period. Plant height also plays a big role in proper organization flower beds. Low ones should no longer obscure, but denser ones should skillfully shade single specimens.
If we talk about scientific classification, then autumn flowers are divided into annual and perennial. The latter, in turn, are bulbous.
Plants of autumn flower beds: names
There are a lot of autumn flowers. But of course, among them there are the most common ones, which, as a rule, are distinguished by their unpretentiousness in cultivation.
Among the perennial autumn flowers in gardening plots, chrysanthemums, clematis, roses, gladioli, dahlias, helenium, Chinese lanterns, sedum, hydrangea, salvia, colchicum, and asters predominate. The latter are not only perennial, but also annual.
Annual autumn flowers include alyssum, ageratum, marigolds, godetia, dimorphotheca, cosmos, zinnia and others.
Many summer residents prefer to plant perennial autumn flowers: they do not need to worry about planting every year, with the exception of bulbous perennials. In addition, most perennial plants in autumn flower beds are unpretentious to soil, care, and lighting.
Planting perennial flowers
Perennials can be propagated by seeds, bulbs, cuttings and dividing the bush.
The best time to plant them is early spring, as well as August-September.
Autumn planting, in October-November, has a positive effect on the hardening of seeds: they germinate quickly, the plants develop a good root system, and they are more resistant to diseases. By the way, in the fall, not only perennial but also annual flowers are planted, for example, alyssum, Chinese carnation, rudbeckia, Chinese aster and others.
Before planting plants, the soil must be dug well and mineral and organic fertilizers applied. Only then prepare the holes or grooves. There is no need to sow seeds in them right away. It is better to do this when the soil is already a little frozen. The seeds should be sprinkled with peat and sand on top; you can use humus and sand in half for these purposes. The top of the bed is covered with dry leaves.
They are imprisoned most often
The most popular perennial plants for autumn flower beds are chrysanthemum, aster and helenium. Let's talk about the first two in more detail.
Chrysanthemum is often called the “queen of autumn”. Its flowers come in a wide variety of shades and shapes. Regular double and semi-double inflorescences come in white, yellow, pink, red, cream, and lilac.
Depending on the variety, they bloom from late August to late October and even later, until frost.
It is best to plant chrysanthemums in sunny places and on fertile loose soil. Before flowering begins, they must be fed with nitrogen fertilizers. Then - switch to phosphorus and potassium. In dry weather, chrysanthemums need to be watered so that the leaves do not dry out. You can replant them at any time, you just need to dig them up with a large lump of earth.
Perhaps the most common flowers in the flowerbed in autumn are asters. The abundance of their colors is impressive, and the flowering period is quite long.
It can be distinguished: They are tall with a straight stem that branches strongly at the end. New England asters, on the contrary, grow as a bush, and when they bloom, they look beautiful bouquet. In many flower beds in the fall you can see small-flowered asters. The pale pink, white and light purple inflorescences of these asters do not fade until the first frost.
Perennial asters are best propagated by dividing the bush. This should be done in the spring. For good growth and flowering, asters need fertilizing and watering.
Planting bulbous plants
Autumn flower beds do not require special care. Many gardeners are familiar with their names: crocus, beautiful crocus, gladiolus, begonia, dahlia.
The main difference is that the bulbs of some of them should be dug up after the first frost and stored in a cool place. They need to be planted in the ground in early spring. These plants include begonias, gladioli and dahlias.
But colchicum, or colchicum, is planted in July-August, to a depth of about 10 centimeters, in a sunny place, however, partial shade is also suitable. It will bloom next fall. The same should be done with autumn crocuses.
Before planting any bulbs, you should carefully inspect and select good, undamaged, large bulbs. Then they must be etched in any of the solutions: potassium permanganate or karbofos.
The soil needs to be fertilized minerals. It is best to take superphosphate, and ammonium nitrate. Additionally humus. By planting bulbous plants in the spring, you can have peace of mind all season - they do not require any care.
A story about an autumn flower garden plant
Our choice fell on dahlia. In terms of the splendor of flowering and its duration, dahlias, perhaps, have no equal. A large number of varieties have been bred, differing in color and shape of flowers and leaves, and the height of the bushes.
Dahlias love sunny places, protected from the wind, and the soil is loose, fertile.
They should be planted when the earth has already warmed up well (late May-early June). Holes for planting tubers should be prepared in advance; they are dug to the depth of a spade bayonet. Rotted manure, superphosphate, complex fertilizer, ash and lime (a handful of the latter) are poured into the bottom of the holes. Everything is mixed with sand. Tubers are planted to a depth of 10 cm (large ones are first divided into several parts), covered with soil and watered well.
Taking into account that the stems of dahlias grow quite tall, you should immediately install pegs near the hole with the planted tubers so that you can later tie the stems to them.
Caring for dahlias involves infrequent watering and fertilizing. And by the end of summer and all autumn, these flowers will delight you lush flowering and brightness of colors.
Transplanting autumn perennials
Perennial plants of autumn flower beds must be replanted periodically, following the procedure of dividing the bushes. If they grow too large, they will lack nutrients in the soil, as well as moisture and light.
It is better to transplant perennial flowers during a period of quiet growth. First, the place is prepared: the earth is dug up and mixed with fertilizers. Then the holes are prepared and watered. Before digging up the plant, it must also be watered. The shovel is stuck into the ground carefully and at some distance from the stems so that the roots are not damaged. The plant is taken out along with a lump of earth and immediately placed in the hole if separation is not required. Sprinkled with earth, which is compacted. Then the plant is watered with water.
When transplanting tall perennials You must immediately drive a peg into the hole in order to tie the growing stems of the plant to it.
Pruning autumn flowers
A story about autumn flower garden plants would not be complete without recalling the preparation of these plants for the winter and their pruning.
Perennial flowering plants should be pruned for the winter. Because in the spring, old shoots will interfere with the young ones. Dried stems should not be cut down to the ground, but leaving some of them with leaves to accumulate nutrients that will be needed next year. After pruning flower plants, the ground around them must be loosened and fertilizers must be added in the form of humus or compost.
Shrubby perennial flowers, such as roses, are also pruned for the winter. First of all, damaged and immature shoots are removed. Roses leave the woody part of the stems. But leaves and buds are also removed from them, as is vegetation from under the bushes. This is done to prevent harmful insects from breeding there, which could contribute to the development of diseases or the spread of infection.
However, some autumn plants, such as clematis, are pruned in early spring.
Covering flowers for the winter
Autumn flower garden: plants, varieties and care. It seems that all this has already been said. But it’s also worth talking about covering flowers for the winter.
After trimming the plant and removing old leaves, it is necessary to mulch the ground around it with compost and cover it with spruce branches on top. By the way, in the spring the spruce branches must be removed immediately so that they do not interfere with the plant’s ability to produce shoots.
Roses, clematis, phlox, Chabot carnations and some other flowers require shelter for the winter.
Eg, autumn crocuses do not require shelter for the winter. Perennial asters, sedums, and goldenrod are also frost-resistant. However, the flower beds where they grow can be mulched using peat mixed with humus or compost.
Finally, some flowering plants, as mentioned above, are dug up for the winter and stored in a cool place.
After a successful winter, perennial plants will send out young shoots, gain strength over the summer, and in the fall they will again delight everyone with their colorful colors. This concludes our story about which plants bloom in autumn.
Autumn flowers decorate areas, prolong the feeling of summer, create great mood, delight the owners and guests. Their flowering is touching and amazing. The approaching cold, rain and first frosts do not frighten autumn flowering. They support them, reveal colors from a new side.
Main selection criterion flower crops- variety of colors. Homeowners want their garden to be a rainbow of colors. Moreover, I want to admire it for more than one month, but from the first sunny days to light snowflakes. Selection criteria shared by experienced gardeners:
- Ease of care. Most of the plots are located in suburban areas. Summer residents come to visit them on weekends. Plants that require daily care may die. Varieties have special watering requirements; they must withstand drought, rain and hot sun.
- Disease resistance. Those species are selected that are not susceptible to most diseases. Pests are also being studied.
- Connection of perennial and annual plants in the area. Each variety has its own advantages, which should be used.
- Stem location and plant height. Low bushes require a place that will be easily visible. High ones must be maintained, that is, placed near walls and fences. The stems can curl and stretch across the surface. They also require a special place on the site.
