They are called ampelous ornamental plants which have a long flexible stem and look beautiful in hanging pots. The stem of ampelous plants, as a rule, is not able to support itself; it needs to either rest on something or hang down. It is this property that makes hanging plants for the garden very popular among amateur gardeners. Such ornamental crops are mostly annuals in our conditions; they grow quickly, bloom almost all summer, and in a short period of time can transform the area adjacent to the house and individual corners of the garden into places of amazing beauty, inviting to relax among the splendor of the colors of nature.

The garden around the house was created using hanging plants - they are placed around the perimeter, suspended on the veranda. Their luxurious flowering can completely change the appearance of the site

Let's look at some garden hanging plants that bloom beautifully and are easy to care for.

Option #1 - hanging begonia

A wonderful plant with small scarlet or bright red flowers on delicate, flexible and long stems. The flowers resemble small chrysanthemums. This is a rather whimsical plant that does not tolerate heat at all and needs frequent watering. Begonia should not be placed in bright sun; you need to choose a shaded corner for it. If summers are too hot in your area, this plant will not be suitable for the garden.

If the ampelous begonia feels good in your garden, it will delight you with abundant flowering. Even one pot with such a beauty will decorate a gazebo, veranda or terrace. Try to keep the plant out of direct sunlight

Option #2 - pelargonium

One of the most unpretentious plants is pelargonium (or geranium). Geranium loves the sun, warmth, and is not afraid of drought. The plant will not disappear if you are absent for a long time, and there will be no one to water it.

There are many types of pelargonium that grow well outdoors and indoors. Boxes with blooming pelargonium can be placed in any sunny place in the garden, under the windows. This plant also looks good in flower beds

Option #3 - lobelia

Lobelia is a hanging plant that is also well suited for the garden; it can grow in both sun and slightly shaded areas. Lobelia should grow in moist, humus-rich soil.

Using lobelia you can make a kind of “edging” for some garden buildings, or, for example, a fence

Option #4 - ampelous petunia

An option for decorating a path using a hanging petunia. Such two-tier pots on beautiful forged stands are sold in flower shops, and the flowers colorful flowers they look simply luxurious

Option #5 - bacopa

Bacopa is a perennial, but in our country it is more often used as annual plant. Blooms throughout the warm period, grows in sun or partial shade. The soil should be watered moderately so that it does not dry out or become overly moist.

Bacopa is known for its ease of care. There are varieties with white flowers - as in this photo, as well as with lilac and violet colors

Flowering hanging plants are, of course, favorites among those who like to decorate their garden. But there is also no flowering varieties ampels that can transform any unremarkable or even dull place into a pleasant place to relax.

Option #6 - dichondra

Ampelous dichondra is a new product in our flower market. This is a deciduous plant whose shoots can reach one and a half meters in length. Dichondra leaves are small and round in shape. May be green or silver. The plant is perfect for both vertical gardening, and to create a carpet on the ground.

This is the kind of carpet that dichondra can form on the ground. You can place the shoots symmetrically, directing them along the tile line

Dichondra, hanging from a flowerpot, looks quite unusual. This cascade of green or silver lush greenery will add charm to any space in the garden.

There are many types of hanging plants, this is only a small part of them. All of the above plants grow well in our gardens, they do not require special care, but turning the site into a wonderful corner with their help is not at all difficult. You just need to pay attention to them, care for them, and water them in a timely manner.

Also, in hanging pots and wide flowerpots, limnanthes is grown as an hanging crop. Read more about this plant:

A beautiful combination can be formed by hanging plants and vines. Lianas can twine around a fence, the wall of a house or other building and serve as a spectacular green background for ampels. If you don't have enough time to grow plants in your garden, decorate your garden with hanging plants, placing them in hanging pots and outdoor decorative planters throughout and you will see that your garden will turn into a paradise.

Hanging plants often decorate not only private gardens, but also summer cafes, parks, and balconies of high-rise buildings. WITH German language The name “ampelnye” translates as a suspended vase of flowers. Therefore, ampels are most often called plants that bloom in hanging pots.

But this is only one of the types of ampels. Read more about the classification of these plants, the method of growing them, and their advantages over ordinary garden flowers in this article.

Features of hanging plants and their classification

Depending on the method of growth, ampels are divided into several subspecies:

• creeping;
• climbing;
• curly;
• multi-socket.

Some of them look like vines, growing upward and having aerial roots. Others have many tendrils that help the plants cling to a mesh, arch or fence. Another group is cascading hanging plants for the garden. These are the ones that can be seen most often: gazebos, terraces and balconies are decorated with such pots.

Creeping ampels decorate horizontal surfaces. This is the so-called “rug”. This variety may have inflorescences or consist of only leaves. Creeping hanging plants decorate garden paths, zone the space in the yard, and use it to complement the flower arrangement.

Fences, metal and wooden arches. In order to rise up, these flowers need guides - stretched threads and ropes. With the help of climbing plants, they create “live” hedges, shade the sides of a gazebo or terrace, and decorate roofs.

Important! The main distinguishing feature of ampels is the flexible stem, thanks to which the flower can hang from a flowerpot or take on the bizarre shape of a braided object.

How to make a composition of ampelous plants

To decorate or add flowers to a garden, you need excellent taste. Ampels can be combined not only by color, size or type, these plants complement interior and exterior items, combine them with ordinary garden trees and bushes, they are planted not only in pots, but also on the roof or on an old stump, for example.

A few simple rules will help you correctly compose a flower arrangement:

1. Plants without flowers can be supplemented with any ampels with inflorescences.
   
   
2. If the composition is symmetrical, its creation begins from the center of the pot or flowerpot, planting the shortest flowers there. The sides of the container are decorated with varieties of flowing ampels, combining their color and shape.
   
   
3. For a cascade composition, it is necessary to use several types of ampels with different stem heights. The tallest flowers are planted in the far row; as they approach the viewer, the height of the bushes should decrease so that the plants do not block each other.
   
   
4. If there is an old well, an unnecessary cart, a chest of drawers or a bicycle on the site, they can be effectively enhanced with the help of hanging plants. Several pots with flowers planted in them are attached to these objects and the growth of stems is formed.
   
   
5. A wooden or forged gazebo is simply created to be decorated with flowers. Here, ampels are hung at the entrance and near windows, pots of flowers are placed on window sills and tables, and corners are decorated with flowerpots with climbing plants (an excellent example of gazebo decor is shown in the photo below).
   
   
6. An artificial pond or waterfall near the house will also not be complete without hanging flowers. Plants will add color to the pond, and the water, in turn, will provide the flowers with coolness.
   
   
7. For climbing plants, arches are made of metal, wood or plastic. Such arches decorated with vines decorate the entrance to the courtyard or the path leading to the gazebo.
   
   
8. Green tunnels made of flowers look especially impressive; a successful example of such an ensemble is shown in the photo.
   
   
9. You can combine several types of one plant with each other, for example, regular and ampelous carnations.
   
   
10. Identical plants with flowers of different shades look very impressive and bright. Most often, petunia bushes are combined in this way.
    
    
11. Another win-win option is to decorate the area with pots different colors in one color scheme. You can choose only plants with red inflorescences, or combine all shades of yellow in a flowerpot.
    
    

Advice! When composing a composition, you need to think not only about the beauty of the “bouquet”, but also about its “comfort”. The same soil, humidity and light levels must be suitable for all plants.

How to grow ampelous plants

The easiest option is to purchase vases and pots with already flowering ampels in a specialized store. In this case, all that remains is to arrange the flowers on the site, arranging them into a single composition.

It is much more difficult to grow flowers from seeds. After all, for the correct combination of ampels, you need to know exactly what will grow from these seeds.

First, the seeds are sown in separate boxes to grow seedlings from them. When the plants get stronger, they are transplanted to a permanent place. Here you need to follow a number of rules:

• Each amel flower needs its own soil: some plants love loam, others need peat, and for others the nutritional value of the soil is more important. Information about necessary composition soil can be found on the seed package. Or prepare a universal substrate for ampels based on purchased soil and peat.
• Flowers in pots need to be watered more often than plants in flowerbeds. The following rule applies here - the smaller the flowerpot, the more often and more abundantly the ampels will have to be watered. Many hanging flowers need watering twice a day.
• To prevent weed seeds from getting into the pots and to prevent the soil from being dried out by the sun and wind, the soil in the flowerpots is mulched after seedlings are planted in them.
• Hanging flowerpots, baskets and pots must be filled with light substrates. In some cases, it is possible to use gel beads, floral sponges and other devices to retain moisture. The most the best option The substrate is considered to be coconut fiber.
• The soil for hanging plants must be drained. It is necessary to place fragments at the bottom of pots and flowerpots pottery or small pebbles. Hanging planters must be equipped with a drainage hole.
• If you need to decorate a balcony or windows with hanging flowerpots upper floors, it is necessary to choose low-growing hanging plants - long stems easily broken by strong winds that blow at altitude.
• It is important to maintain free space between the ampels; they should not be cramped. No more than 5 plants can be planted in one medium-sized pot (about 30 cm in diameter).
