Flowers occupy a special place in the life of every person. Their multicolored colors lift your spirits and bring a heap of positive emotions. In addition to aesthetic pleasure, flowers cleanse the air of environmental pollution and saturate it with oxygen. With the arrival of autumn coolness, it is time for amateur gardeners to take care of planning the planting of perennial plants. After all, I really want the flower garden to delight next year with its continuous flowering and riot of colors.
Benefits of autumn planting
- Planting material is hardened and receives lasting immunity to various diseases.
- There is no need to make seedlings in the winter, which saves time and money costs (seeds, compost, containers).
- Germination in spring allows plants to bloom two weeks earlier than spring sowing.
Bulbous, perennial flowers
Perennials are winter-hardy flowers that live for several years. Caring for them is not labor-intensive, like annual plants. Not picky and unpretentious, they do not require special conditions or preparatory work for winter.
And to make them bloom in early spring, flowers are planted at the end of September or at the beginning of October, depending on the region.
Here is a list of beautiful, bulbous perennial flowers that overwinter in open ground:
- Crocuses
- Tulips
- Lilies
- Daffodils
- Grouse
- Chiodoxes
- Muscari
Perennials with a fibrous root system
The world of flowers is diverse and unique. The above-listed bulbous perennials have many varieties. Amateur flower growers enjoy growing flowers in their summer cottages or planting flower beds near their homes. People show so much imagination in planning and arranging flower plantings in order to end up with these amazing, sunny islands of happiness.
Perennial flowers are planted in open ground not only with bulbs, but also with seeds, cuttings, and dividing the roots into parts. These perennial flowers include:
- Primrose
- Yarrow
- Lupins
- Hosts
- Marigold
- Delphinium
- Astra (perennial)
- Phloxes
- Astilbe
- Chrysanthemum
- Dicentra (broken heart)
- Saxifraga Arends
- Calendula

When designing a flower bed, questions often arise about how to arrange flowers during planting so that tall plants do not obscure short flowers.
In the foreground are low-growing perennials, which retain the appearance of a bush and picturesque leaves until late autumn, and annuals. It is necessary to choose plants that replace each other in their flowering, and therefore one cannot do without annuals.
Saxifraga Arends is a unique roller-shaped, colorful border of flowers 25 cm high.
Dicentra is a very graceful plant with flowers in the shape of pink hearts. It blooms all summer and is combined with saxifrage, lungwort or primrose.
Different varieties of perennial aster (h-40 cm) look colorful in the foreground of plantings.
A flowerbed filled with colorful flowers not only creates a positive mood, but also has a beneficial effect on the overall well-being of the body as a whole.
These flowers are to my taste and I have most of them.
Indeed, the flowers chosen are very beautiful. There is one thing, but the author says dicentra is a poisonous plant, so plant with caution or wear rubber gloves. And I planted dicentra under my window. pyrethrum crimson. daffodils with a big and beautiful orange skirt and a lot of other things, but someone got into the habit of stealing my flowers with the roots bringing tears to my eyes. After all, I’m a pensioner and I buy these flowers at the market from grandmothers and flower sellers
Somehow I haven’t seen perennial marigolds and calendula. From articles No. 5 and No. 13. Question to the author.
Thank you for reminding me, I’ll go look for tulip bulbs, I dug them up in August and have already forgotten about them...
Decentra needs shade or partial shade and does not bloom all summer.
