Bulb flowers: names and features
These plants will decorate your garden and bringvariety in its design. They have a lot of advantages. The underground part, which each bulbous flower has, accumulates nutrients, and after drying the aerial part keeps its viability. Dahlias and crocuses have tubers. They are not much different from bulbs. But they need to be stored differently. Tubers are deprived of protective scales, therefore they cannot remain for the winter in the soil - they need to be dug up. Most bulbous - perennial. They can live in your garden for a very long time. It must be remembered that after the bulbous flower dies, it is impossible to cut the leaves. They must wither on their own. Bulbous perennials usually spend the winter in the ground, under a layer of mulch. They like lighted areas, sometimes grow well in light shade. A loose, breathable soil without a large amount of fertilizer will provide a bulbous flower with everything you need. The main thing is that the plant is not constantly in the damp.
Selection and landing
Looking for suitable plants for your flower beds,pay attention to some nuances. Many bulbous species are always turned in one direction. For example, daffodils. This should be taken into account when planning the design of your flower bed - in the middle of the plot these flowers should not be placed, but replaced with tulips or hyacinths. Bulbous plants have a different flowering period. Picking up varieties that bloom in early spring, you can combine them with those that bloom later. Thus, your garden will be constantly brightly decorated until late autumn. The earliest spring bulbs, such as saffron and galantus, bloom in March and early April. They are followed by irises and proleski.

You can make the so-called false pond. To do this, pick bulb flowers with blue and blue hues, decorating the flower bed with gravel and pebbles, which will be the “banks of the reservoir”. You can create a harmonious composition in the place where the lawn will appear in summer, from grouse, daffodils, tulips and muscari.

The ability to remove the containers after flowering has ended will allow you to replace them with more late-flowering plants.
