Which perennials are not afraid of frost?

Home/Flowers and plants/Flower bed for “lazy people”. Frost-resistant unpretentious perennials. What to plant?

Agree, it often happens that you get excited about an idea, bring it to life, and then the interest fades away. I wanted to have a beautiful flowerbed - it was done. And then, there is no time to take care or you are simply lazy, and the beautiful flower garden becomes overgrown with weeds, or, on the contrary, it grows so much that it ceases to be decorative.

There is an exit. The main thing is to wisely choose plants that do not require constant attention and care.

Brunner

Herbaceous perennial. Due to its characteristics, Brunnera is often used in composition to create borders. The flowers look like forget-me-nots. Undemanding in care, but does not tolerate heat well. Winter-hardy. It can grow in one place for a long time without transplantation (up to 15 years). Despite its unpretentiousness, it is better to choose shady places for planting.

Perennial cornflower

Survival champion. A huge number of varieties. Completely undemanding to soil composition. Very popular among gardeners. It blooms and pleases the eye for a long time and beautifully. Watering is moderate, not needed in winter. Used as a background in compositions. It is a good honey plant.

Garden geranium

There are tall and short. Winter-resistant, drought-resistant. Not only flowers, but also leaves are decorative. There are about 40 species. It blooms for a month and a half. Very decorative. Can be used in group compositions and to fill individual voids. The leaves and roots of garden geranium have medicinal properties.

Loosestrife

A very hardy, unpretentious, and, at the same time, very ornamental plant. Prefers moist soils. Ideally planted on the shore of a pond. Blooms throughout the summer season and September. If planted in dry places, it needs periodic watering. In their absence, it will not die, but will lose its decorative effect. In design, it looks good in any combination.

Doronicum

Doronicum flowers are similar to chamomile, only with yellow leaves. It begins to bloom in spring and continues until July. Prefers well-lit places. Looks good in a flower garden, especially in a campaign of ferns.

Can be planted as a central spot in compositions. Needs watering periodically. Some varieties look beautiful in rock gardens, near free-standing stones.

Kupena

The plant is somewhat similar to lilies of the valley. It is quite unpretentious, but it is better to plant it in the shade, where it looks very beautiful. It grows in the same place for a long time - up to 15 years. Has medicinal properties.

Retains its elegance all season long and fits well into any landscape. Can be used to decorate the lower bare parts of tall plants. It is not demanding on the soil and does not require watering. Tolerates winters well.

Lupine

It differs in that it blooms twice a year - in summer and autumn, at the beginning. In a flowerbed, it looks more impressive in a group of several flowers. Prefers slightly acidic soils. Due to its height, it is best planted in central or distant compositions. The plant is susceptible to aphid attack.

It is necessary to periodically treat flowers and soil with insecticides. It can live in one place for 3 - 4 years. Sometimes it requires the help of supports so as not to break under its own weight.

Caring for all the plants described above does not require much time and this is why they are valuable. All descriptions are given for standard conditions. Naturally, if there is prolonged heat and drought in the summer, any plant will need watering.

When growing for a long time in the same place, fertilize with fertilizers and microelements. But in general, all of them will delight their owners with a minimum of labor costs.

If watering is required periodically, then this is no longer for lazy people. If only there were ones that don’t really need watering, and that don’t have any requirements for the soil, such as marigolds. Is there anything like that? At our dacha everything burns down in May while we are not there. We live in the south.

Bergenia blooms in spring (April–May), producing thick, reddish inflorescences with numerous bell-shaped flowers. Depending on the variety, the flowers are pink, red, purple, cream, and white.

These are long-lived, hardy, easy-to-grow plants. They like medium, moderately moist soils and cope well with drought. Planted in full sun, they bloom more profusely, but require higher soil moisture. Frost-resistant. Ideal for planting in flower beds and covering large park areas. Bergenia can be planted in rock gardens, on the banks of reservoirs, which it strengthens and protects from erosion.

Varieties are characterized by significant variability. Plants prefer semi-shaded places, but also grow in sunny areas. In well-lit positions, the leaves will sparkle beautifully. The soil should be humus and fertile, although euonymus also grows on poor soils.

This is a frost-resistant plant that is resistant to urban pollution. Tolerates temporary droughts. Euonymus is an excellent ground cover, suitable for large lawns, strengthening slopes, and climbing up fences.

Waldsteinia trifoliata

An interesting perennial, Waldsteinia ternata - height varies between 10-20 cm and can quickly cover fairly large areas. The leaves are small, slightly shiny, green, similar to strawberry leaves, and remain on the plant in winter. In spring (April - May), Waldsteinia is additionally decorated with bright yellow five-petaled flowers, collected in inflorescences growing on thin, green stems. If the flowers are pollinated, after blooming they develop into small red seed heads, much like strawberries, but inedible.

Waldsteinia does not have high environmental requirements and is quite easy to grow. The most important thing is proper soil moisture; the plant does not like drying out or flooding. It grows and blooms best in semi-shaded places, on moderately fertile, relatively moist soils. In sunny places with sufficient humidity it produces more flowers; in semi-shaded areas and fertile soils it grows abundantly, creating lush green carpets.
