Group 5 "unkillable" perennial flowers

These plants come back stronger and more beautiful every year, without requiring replanting.

  • Echinacea (Echinacea): Extremely resistant to heat and drought. Blooms long in pink, white or orange and attracts butterflies.
  • Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia): The "sunny" flower of the garden. It copes with any soil and blooms tirelessly until the first frosts.
  • Salvia (Sage wood): It gives a deep purple color and a wonderful aroma. If you prune it after the first bloom, will delight you again at the end of summer.
  • Seven (Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’): Succulent plant, which you can literally forget to water. It changes color from green to deep copper in autumn.
  • Geranium (Zdravets): The Bulgarian classic. Ideal for filling empty spaces, smells great and doesn't hurt.

Flowers for strong sun and infrequent watering

If your yard is exposed to all-day sun, choose species with silvery or mossy leaves. They reflect light and retain moisture better.

  • Stachys (Lamb's ear): Soft, gray list, which create a dense carpet and suppress weeds.
  • Gaura (Hole): An ethereal plant, which looks like a cloud of white or pink butterflies and tolerates wind and peck very well.

Plant grouping for less care

The pro trick is to group plants according to their water needs. Засадете сухоустойчивите видове заедно – така няма да рискувате да удавите едни, while trying to save others. Dense planting also reduces the space for weeds to germinate.

Mulching is a busy gardener's best friend

Covering the soil around the flowers with pine bark or decorative gravel does three important things:

  • Stops weeds from sprouting.
  • Holds moisture in the soil until 3 times longer.
  • It gives the flower bed a finished and professional look.

Frequently asked questions

1. Should I fertilize the easy flowers??
A single feeding with a compound fertilizer at the beginning of spring is sufficient. Повечето от тези видове не обичат прекомерното торене.

2. Какво означава „мъртво рязане“ (deadheading)?
Това е просто премахване на прецъфтелите цветове. Това кара растението да не хаби енергия за семена, but to produce new colors.

3. Can I grow these flowers in pots??
Yes, salvia and sedums do great in containers, as long as they have good drainage.
