The characteristic feature of the landscape design of the recent time is the design of mixboraders. This mixed flower garden is usually oblong shape filled with various species Plants. With its configuration, many years use perennials, in places supplemented by annuals. Depending on the area of \u200b\u200bthe site and climatic conditions, mixboraders are sophisticated in landscape design using trees, shrubs and curly plants.

Creating a mixboard - the beginning of the way

It should be immediately noted that the care of the mixboro is a complex process that requires certain knowledge in the field of phytodizain. However, it is precisely the planting of plants with a different period of flowering, characterized by height, the size of the leaves, provides picturesque landscape design throughout the warm period.

Color garden accommodation options

The selection and planting of plants is preceded by choosing a place in landscape design to place a mixboarder. The optimal conditions for the favorable development of perennials are a space with moderate lighting, where in sufficient quantities there are solar rays, changing the shadow. Most often in landscape design, mixboraders are found in the following places:

• along the edge of the terrace;
• on a small slope;
• along the facade of the house;
• around the perimeter of the site as a natural fence.

The length of the flower bed is limited solely by the size of the site. The following plants will help to achieve harmony in landscape design depending on the location of the mixboarder.

• Compositions from conifer-peers perennials successfully fit along the facade of the house or as a living hedge, on a small hillock or framing the terrace.
• The English version of the flower bed, consisting of wilder-growing perennials and gardening representatives of the flora, is optimally divided parallel to the tracks leading to the house, against the background of lawn. Successful transition in landscape design of the territory it will provide when landing along the fence.
• A large free territory allows you to equip a combined mixture with coniferous trees and shrubs. Preferably choose a plot with different degrees of lighting of the rays of the sun.
• Next to the residential structure, a complex of flowering decorative shrubs is organically.
• The formed garden is appropriate to supplement with flowers and shrubs preferring a shady terrain.

A plot on which the landscape design is not completed, preferably to arrange seasonal plants, as the landing of perennials is not rational. Regardless of the location, the basic principle of the organization of the mixboarder is plant planting by tiers. Landscape design offers two types of mixboarder - viewed on the one hand, or a constant review.

In the first embodiment, the foreground represents greens that does not reach a 40 cm in height, the middle band is filled with a fluid high up to 60 cm, in the background flowers, shrubs or trees growing up to 1 m or more. In the second case, the tall flora is located in the central part of the mixboarder, gradually replacing to the edge of low-spirited plants. Ready-made mixer diagrams are presented in the photo below.

Features of the selection of plants

Flower seeds and seedlings are purchased after drawing up a detailed landing plan. When designing a flower garden, it is necessarily taken into account:

• the composition of the soil;
• humidity indicators;
• light level;
• wind security.

Tip! Form a mixture of green plantings that are not inclined to rapid growth and occupation of the surrounding land.

The type of root system plays an important role in the formation of a blooming island in landscape design. For it, flowers or shrubs with a creeping view of rhizomes or quickly growing roots in the horizontal plane are categorically unacceptable. The competition arising is able to destroy other types of flora, violating the harmony of mosaic flower beds. A group of plants sitting in the mixture must have similar security needs, soil indicators and the lighting level of solar rays. This will greatly facilitate the flow of a flower bed and maintaining its aesthetic species. Another condition of harmonious landscape design is not near the main view of the review to plant a high greens, the distance to the central point of the mixboarder should exceed its highest point.

The following religion selection rule for a mixlener of perennials is the continuity of flowering. It is important that the periods replaced gradually, and the site retained an attractive view of landscape design throughout the warm season. Reaching the continuous presence of bright colors on the flower bed will help guests with a long period of flowering. The variant of the diagram of the mixboarder from perennials is presented below:

A good complement for garden flowers is plants with decorative foliage. Among them are especially popular fern, geihans and hosts. Abundant foliage gives the flower bed and additional expressiveness, which is especially valuable for landscape design in the transition period between flowering of different types.

Tip! The originality of the mixboarder is able to give bulbous plants planted between perennials at the initial stage of laying flower beds.

Preference gives flowers that do not require annual digging. At different levels, crocuses, botanical tulips and imperial packers are used. To scare the pests will be useful to Pijm, velets, nasturtium and chamber. If the mixture did not have time to purchase a finished look due to non-born plants, temporarily exhibited pot flowers will help achieve aesthetic landscape design.

Color spectrum

One of the conditions of organic landscape design is a competent selection color Gamma.. The color composition should not cause irritation and a feeling of dissonance. In order for chaotic coloristic combination, it does not spoil the appearance of the mixboarder, its filling should be thought out in advance. Landscape design provides several color solutions for the design of exquisite flower beds:

• contrast;
• monochrome;
• motley;
• tint.

The easiest way to create a composition using one or two colors. If desired, decorate landscape design with a more rich mixtore, use the color circle.

In a contrast version of the mixboard, a combination of red and green, purple and yellow is advantageous. When configuring contrasting flower beds, avoid fine-color plants of contrasting shades. Its dimensions should not be large. A compact bright mix bearing placed in the front or input zone of the country area looks much more effectively in landscape design. One of the many variants of the mixboard is shown in Figure:

Adherents of a relaxed landscape design will donate monochrome compositions. Wide distribution received flowerbeds with shades of pink, purple or light yellow.

Landscape design specialists offer various combined mixing versions:

• a combination of garden and wild flowers (poppies, bells, nyologists, chamomile, cornflowers);
• perennials are complemented by coniferous shrubs or dwarf trees;
• from shrubs and semi-walkers, imitation of natural thickets is created.

Depending on the end targets of the landscape design, the fell palette can contain the following combinations:

• Spring freshness blows from white and blue shades. Dolphiniums, bells, chamomile - the most appropriate members of the mixboarder.
• Self-pink, lilac and scarlet shades will help to form a romantic atmosphere. Small lilac bush, roses, irises and phloxes are able to gracefully decorate landscape design.
• The flame passion reflects the red and bright yellow shades. Astra and gerbera successfully pass flaming feelings.

Principles planning

When planning in landscape design, the mixboarder should avoid excessively dense landings, it will provoke the oppression of some plants by others followed by death. The easiest option is to draw up a project on paper. Each long-term species should be removed enough area for development, empties will help to fill the annuals combined in color and size. Biggled plants occupy at least 1 mq. Mixboro Square, for midplier flora in landscape design, not less than 60 cm. Optimally give the flower bed smooth and soft outlines, also landscape design does not welcome pronounced wrong forms of the mixboarder. By the same principle, plantings are placed - without clear boundaries, with smooth transitions in height.

Tip! Facility of plant care procedures facilitates a narrow track equipped in a large mixture.

A distinctive feature of landscape design using coniferous plantings and shrubs is the presence of large stones. Their chaotic location gives the composition natural view. Reaching rhythm among coniferous plants helps repeating elements, each of which should occur 3-5 times. A double-sided mixture of sufficient width tools with narrow tracks from tiles or flat stones located in a circle from the center of the composition. The design of the coniferous mixboarder will perfectly dilute the heather perennials.

After studying the location and viewing schemes, you can choose the most appropriate landscape design option for plot design.

The current direction of the green zone design is so developed that it provides an incredible number of unique projects. The design of various flower beds and lungs, gardens and parks are very enforced due to the variety of plant species. Their combination sometimes brings so unexpected, but at the same time an insanely beautiful result that you want to enjoy the scenery created continuously. And every moment all new nuances will be manifested, making the picture of nature very dynamic. One of the most popular directions of the landscaping process of the landscape is the design of the mixboarder.

In essence, the mixture is bright flowerbed, decorated along the edge of the track. This direction in the formation of the landscape came to us from England, where this method has long been used for the design of the garden-park zone.

European household plots today are also universally equipped with such flower beds. It is performed mainly from perennial plants for one season. The entire process of planting a mixboarder, although extremely fascinating, but obliges to withstand some subtleties of this style.

Mixboro varieties

Initially, to properly pick up the shape of a blooming border, decide on the type of plants. Most popular options:

Another way to classify mixboraders - seasonality, according to which is distinguished, respectively:

In addition to the type of plants, mixboraders differ in color schemes:

Do not hurry with the choice, make it thoughtful, relying on your artistic taste. But even if you wish, do all the work on your own, do not ignore the recommendations of professional florists.

Important! For example, it is especially interesting, albeit more complex in design, continuous flowering mixtures, the schemes of which are particularly in demand today. Below is one of the options for such a flower garden.

How to issue a mixtore yourself?

The entire process of arrangement of mixborads from perennials is quite painstaking and take a long time. But when complying with all the rules of registration, the result will certainly delight with its saturation and brightness of correctly selected living paints.

Sequential processes looks like this:

1. Design.
2. Choosing a place.
3. Preparation of soil.
4. Planting.

Where to start planning?

This stage of work is most important for the future attractiveness of flower beds. Therefore, we reaches him with all attentiveness. Given the huge number of plant species, so as not to get stuck in the search for suitable for a very long time, do not get lost and not get confused, carefully consider ready-made mixtures in directories or live, if there is such an opportunity.

Important! Such an approach will help narrow the range of plants likers, see their natural attractiveness, as well as the size and possibilities of combining with different types of ready-made projects. Considering all of the above, the selection process will be much easier and faster.

Basic Principles of Plant Selection

List all possible rules for the combination of plants when landing mixtures from shrubs or colors is impossible. But there are some general recommendationswhich will certainly help choose the right breed and combine them.

Familiarize yourself with them in the list below before starting to the independent selection:

1. Plant dimensions. In this regard, consider parameters such as the height and composition of growth. Long species place in distant rows. Appears at the foot of the edge of the flower beds and inside, issuing a kind of frame. The magnificity of flowering and growing will help correctly adjust the required area for the normal development of the plant.
   
2. Flowering period. This criterion is especially important when making a continuous flowering mixboarder. For proper choice In accordance with the flowering period, such a flowerba will constantly please the glance and emphasize the attractiveness of the entire design of the Garden-Park area near the house. The main requirement is the timely change of one colors by others, and the shade of the newcomers should not be dissected with the tonality of the previous and the following.
   
3. Location. Be sure to take into account the peculiarities of each selected type in terms of thermal liftingness and the required amount of moisture. It is inappropriate to have plants on the sun itself, which requires more water and shadows - they will quickly burn out and sneeze, and the thermal-loving species, with a lack of light and the sun, will incorrectly develop and will soon die.
   
4. Ease of care. Delicate plants not only do not increase the attractiveness of flower beds (the flow of the flower bed directly depends on how comfortable plants), but also significantly complicate care for it. Do not strive to accommodate a large number of different species on a small block of land. This will only emphasize the tasteless style of the finished flower garden and make it difficult. Split roots planted in bulk plants will be a barrier for normal regulation of moisture and oxygen, which in turn will not affect their general development.
   
5. Lack of aggressive species. Be sure to avoid planting creeping and aggressive types of plants on any of the tiers. Neglect of this advice will negate all the efforts to arrange a mixboarder.
   
6. Decoration. When choosing, determine the originally plants that will become a focus of flower beds, its main part, and those deciduous species that will become an additional decoration to emphasize the beauty of the main colors.
   
7. Protection against pests. Given the peculiarity of the mixboarder in combination of several plant species on one small area, take care of natural pest insect protection. An excellent option will be landing of the Pijmas, wormwood, nasturtiums, kinses, peppermint mint, decorative onions or videos, which their aroma scare away all beetles, spoiling plants.
   
8. Color spectrum. In this regard, focus solely on personal preferences, but note that the effect of adolescence from a combination of too much contrasting colors will not add the attractiveness of the green zone. More interestingly in this respect properly organized monochrome flowerbeds with smooth transitions of several shades of 2-3 main colors.
   
   

   Important! Think over the attachment of one or two-year plants to get an attractive flower lamp in the near future, not waiting enough long period until the perennials grow to the desired size.

   

   If you doubt your capabilities of the right artistic combination of plants, make it initially on the selected territory, a trial version from the quick-growing annual species. Thus, you can clearly see your shortcomings and flaws live and take into account them in the formation of the main mixboarder.

How to choose a place for a mixboarder?

Despite the direct appointment, which is indicated in the title, is to decorate parkpaths for a beautiful and clear distinction of the territory, such a style of flower beds is used in various designs of the green zone design.

These are alive fences, and adjacent to the walls of flower beds, and alpine slides, and all kinds of waterfalls, and artificial lakes, and separately standing flower beds or mix of shrubs.

How to prepare the territory?

Soil preparation is one of the most painstaking and time-consuming stages in the entire process of designing a mixboarder, regardless of the type of selected type. But it is precisely how much the useful layer of soil will be formed, the observing of plants at the initial stage of germination and their development depends.

Important! Getting started only in the right season:

• in April after warming
• in early September, after flowering, so that the plants would take care of frosts.

Conclusion

The process of registration of the mixboarder is completed, but in the future regular work on the care of it will be required. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules of the departure corresponding to the chosen type of mixboarder and clearly follow them. Only in this case the result will correspond to expectations, and the finished mixture will delight you with its attractiveness over several years.

If you planned to reflect your site, it is not necessary to raise the plants and try to come up with an original design, without making sure that the selected options for combining plants are really good and will delight you for a long time.

It is better to take advantage of ready-made ideas that belong to European landscape design. We are talking about mixlers for the summer cottage, combining different types of vegetation and capable of emphasizing the beauty of the site for a whole year.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the photos of mixtores with your own hands and plants selection schemes.

General features of the mixboarder

What is a mixture for flowers? Many confuse him with borders, ramids and flower beds. The substantial difference between the mixboarder is that the flowers and plants are located dense groups gradually moving into each other.

With the right choice of plants and care for the mixborror, this zone of your site will look exquisite even when a piece of them will flash.

It is easy to implement the ideas of the mixboarder with your own hands, but it will have to learn, and start better with the most simple options. Moreover, the complexity of care will depend on the quantity and diversity of plants.

At a minimum, you will need to transplanted timely, water and cut some types of plants, fertilize the soil and engage in oculting. All this takes a lot of time and requires effort.

Mixleboard location options

Flood-free blossoming zones in the country can be created on the sun well-lit sites or where there is a shadow. Shadow mixtures can be closed from the Sun and partly, but it is important to guess with combinations of plants so that each grow in acceptable conditions.

See the diagrams of the mixboarder for a half with the names of the plants to select the most appropriate option for your landscape design.

Tip: If there is enough free space on the country site, you will be suitable for combined type mixtures: part of the colors and plants will be under the sun, part - in a half, and part - in a fully shaded zone.

If you decide to make coniferous-drown mixtures with hens, rhododendons, conifers, erica and other vegetation, it is better to land them along the living hedge, the borders of the terrace or facades of buildings.

Coniferous mixtures, photos

Today, English mixtures are popular: Garden and wildering perennials are basic in such compositions. Such mixtures are better to land in parallel paths and along the walls and continue with a well-kept lawn.

Near the house and other buildings, you can land the composition of shrubs. A shrub mixture along the fence will create a charming atmosphere due to bright flowering or decorative leaves. In case you do not consider it necessary to plant perennial plants, you can form a seasonal mixtore.

Before making a mixture with your own hands, decide on the sedimentation of seating. Wherever you have decided to create such a composition, the mixtore is planted with rows. Low plants and flowers with a height of forty centimeters will be located ahead, then it is medium with a height of sixty centimeters, and on the back background - high, exceeding the meter.

As for the forms of such a green zone, it all depends on your imagination and style of the design of the entire site. Mixborls can be elongated, form a circle, rectangle and even triangles. You can give them and arbitrary shape or plant plants in the form of crumbs with smooth bends.

For large mixtures, it is better to provide for narrow paths so that you can easily get to all plants.

Short review-instructions on landing mixtures and landscape design options with them - in the video below:

Where to begin?

As you can see, there are many options for the seating of such compositions. Therefore, it should be started with the preparation of the Mixle Plan, which you will adhere to when performing work.

Beautiful mixtures from perennials can be done, both inside and on the external borders of the site, next to the paths and tracks in the garden, buildings and other elements.

When drawing up a plan, pay attention to such important points:

• mixborror must carry some meaning. It will decorate those zones where you need to add bright paints or natural vegetation. But it is not worth landing flowers and plants where they will look contradictory and inappropriate;

Mixborror in the country, do it yourself, photo
• it is important that plants not blocked each otherOtherwise, some of them simply will not be necessary. Therefore, be sure to follow the principle of "ladder" and select the color variations so that the plants supplemented each other. These may be perennials, bulbs, soils, cereals, conifers and deciduous plants, annuals and other elements of flora;
• constancy of blossom. If it is important for you that the composition keeps its attractiveness as long as possible, stop at the perennials and put flowers for the mixboard so that they smoothly replace each other at the end of the flowering period;
• next nuance - corner view. It is important that your efforts can be seen from a path or at home (depending on where you will post a mixture).

Depending on the viewing angle, one-sided and bilateral mixtures are distinguished. The first option is popular when designing zones near the walls and hedges. It includes high vegetation and does not require a review from all sides. The second type includes and medium with low plants and is visible immediately from several angles.

No less important factors that should be taken into account when planning design and landing mixtures is the nature of the soil, air humidity and lighting brightness.

If we correctly plan the combinations of plants, the mixtore will remain a bright accent of landscape design even in the winter season and will stand out against white snow.

Competent mapping design

The entire planting process can be divided into three main stages. The first is planting the so-called "skeletal" vegetation. Often these are handicraft plants that make a mixture high and fill in greens. Busting should be planted not too far from each other, but it is not necessary to observe the same distances: leave enough free space in some zones to fill them with other plants and flowers. It is also important to carry them in a timely manner and rejuvenate.

Tip: To ensure an attractive appearance of a mixboarder, when planting plants, immediately focus on what height and volume they will have when they grow up.

What plants are suitable for these purposes? One of the most popular "skeletal" shrubs - evergreen Samsit. You will also be suitable small coniferous plants, such as conic spruce, scaly juniper, Lavson cypress.


Mixboron from conifers, photo

During the blossom of the charm, your site will give such plants like Lilac Meyer, Chubuschnik, Spirea. There are many interesting schemes of mixtures with hydrangea, as well as disembarking of a red-hearted plum, jasmine, hibiscus.

Attention! These plants should be disembodied close, as they quickly grow.

The second stage is landing perennial plants for mixboraders. Do not forget about the principle of Liar and plant such plants, focusing on their height. For example, the low zones of mixboraders from perennials with their own hands can be made by Echinacea, multilayer, wormwood, Koreopsis. As a contrast, together with bright blooming plants, you can land tunbregia and geihers with beautiful burgundy leaves.

For a mixboard, you can pick up perennial cereals. They allow you to supplement the composition of the natural palette of yellowish-bronze color, and some are even cast violet and burgundy paints. Decorative role will play such cereals as Kovyl, South, Town & Many others.


Beautiful mixtures, photos

In the third stage, mixboraders from annual and bulbous plants will be formed. The textures will become a bright flowering decoration of such a plot, its elegance and variety will emphasize. For example, at the beginning of the spring will begin to bloom the proleski, snowdrops, crocuses, muscari. Next, the beauty of tulips, primulous, daffodils will be revealed behind them. In the summer and autumn, they will replace other no less charming plants.

Tip: Sit down such flowers with groups to create bright transitions in the mixtore. This also applies to bulbous plants.

Please note that some plants of this type can be aggressive. They will gradually displace the plants located next door, and will increase the green mass. If you do not have enough knowledge, use ready-made schemes and focus on successful landing examples that experts recommend.

Successful photos with examples and plants disembarking schemes

Before choosing ready-made schemes of mysteries from shrubs, conifers and other plants, decide in what color you want to decorate your site. Combined mixtures often include several bright shades, and it is important that they all look harmoniously against the background of the remaining elements of landscape design and buildings.

Here are some successful combinations of shades that can be decorated with a green zone;




If you want to play in contrasts, do not use a lot of shades for making a mixture, as well as small contrasting flowers (such as purple alissa). It is better to choose larger varieties and use the entire couple of shades.

Also popular was the practice of making a mixboarder in one bright color. Therefore, you can choose only one type of colors, and the rest of the space is filled with greens. As an option, stylish and brightly will look a mixture in the orange range, pink or blue.

Mixleboard features

Mixboro is a flower garden of a mixed type of elongated shape. It may include various plants, both one-year and perennial. In the mixtore, you can also turn on shrubs, small lianas and trees.

Such a flower garden can be very difficult in care, because each type of plants have their needs. In addition, it is not easy to pour it: all the landings are placed tight to each other.

But, nevertheless, the mixboard is considered one of the most effective types of flower beds. It looks picturesque thanks to the abundance of plants and colors of different sizes and paintings, heights and color of flowering. The mixtore will delight you from early spring and until late autumn, if you choose the plants for him correctly.

Place Flowers for Mixbrid Yarny, Height

For the natural type of flower garden, you should choose soft and arbitrary lines. The landing scheme is as follows: High plants need to plant on the far, and in front of them - the average and low. If you plan to locate the mixture so that it is viewed from different points of the garden, the high plants are planted in the center and are framed by low. Sometimes it is permissible to plant a couple of high plants in the foreground.

Before you make a choice and planting plants for the future mixboard, you need to choose the most successful place for its location.

We choose a place and plants: the optimal option

First of all, you need to make detailed explication. It should be considered:

• light illumination;
• the composition of the soil;
• humidity;
• wind protection.

Each of these parameters individually and all of them in the aggregate will affect how your mixture will look like.

Perfectly suitable for such a flower garden of plants that are not prone to rapid growth and aggressive grip of the soil. Buying flowers, check with the sellers, what is their root system. Clevish root or roots, quickly growing in width, are categorically not suitable: they will compete with each other. The strongest survive during the struggle, but the composition will be completely violated.

Large plants will well complement the mixtore

When creating a mixboard, certain rules should be followed, in particular, the principle of grouping floristics.

1. Communicated reception - creating a membar meter: evergreen low-spirited coniferous perennials are planted as a landscape frame. It is best for this mountain pine pine, Barbaris, Weigela, Juniper or Phackle.
2. Grouping plants in size allows you to create a spectacular floweruba or border. It should be placed on the back background of high flowers, in the foreground - low. Between different groups, leave gaps for weeding colors.
3. You can choose a color palette to your taste, but follow the rule: the tones of neighboring groups should not score each other. It is better if they smoothly flow from one to another. White color is recognized as universal: it can be located anywhere. An interesting solution is to arrange contrasting shades on opposite sides.
4. The optimal option will be the use of a scheme in which the voids between non-densely located perennials are filled with annual plants.

A variety of styles of mixboarder

The mixture style directly depends on what concept of landscape design you choose.

Landscape style is the most common. He came to us from England, where most often used. Such a mixtore will be well supplemented with coniferous shrubs, varietal plants, as well as a border of wild colors, such as:

• nyondist;
• bells;
• chamomile.

Sample Mixleboard in Landscape Style

Country style is more characteristic of large-flowered plants. Use for such a flower garden to make, nasture, dahlia, peonies, roses, lupine, phlox and petunia. The rose and sunflower rods will look great on the background of bright colors.

Country style

Vegetable mix stores are very popular. If they correctly compose, they will not only be the original decoration of your country area, but will bring a harvest at the end of the season. For such a flower garden, decorative vegetable cultures are used (decorative and curly beans, dwarf pepper), conventional vegetables - cabbage, tomatoes, carrots), as well as spicy herbs of different colors and shapes. For example, basil green and purple, parsley is simple and curly, various salads.

Vegetable mixturore

The main rule in creating a mixboarder is the correct calculation of flowering time. Periods must smoothly replace each other so that the composition remains in color throughout the season - from spring and to autumn.

The main stages of the flow of a flower bed

Consider step by step the creation of the most common and simple type of mixboarder.

Step is the first: landing "skeletal plants. These perennial shrubs Claim the height of the border and become its filler. It is necessary to plant them on a small equidal distance from each other, leaving free space. This gives the composition a more natural look.

Please note: when selecting colors and plantings, it is necessary to focus on the estimated height of the adult plant itself and its volume.

In addition to coniferous perennials, a good addition will serve:

• hibiscus;
• jasmine;
• magnolia;
• hydrangea;
• elder;
• red-hearted plum;
• derenn white.

Please note that these wood cultures are growing over time, so they should not be close to each other. Cut off the shrubs in a timely manner to extend their flowering.

The second step is to fill the flower bed with perennials. Here you need to observe the principle of Liar. In the foreground placed low perennials to close the stretched shrubs stalks.

In order to dilute the composition, use decorative cultures. Against the background of birds, the leaves of wormwood and cyclery will look very nice. A contrast background of bright colors will perform decorative foliage of geranium majestic or burgundy leaves of Tunbergia and Geihans. Among the average perennial cereals are the most decorative: Kovyl, Mer Blind, Source, Lugovik, Take Trigger, Velika.

The third step: semids and bulbous as the last touch. Square between perennial plants. Fucking seals to give the characterity composition. In the spring, the mixtore will wake up with primroses: snowdrops, crocuses, recrees. They will follow the tulips, daffodils, primroses, sednings, and after - the rally-driving plants. Restores also land in small groups. Avoid landing of aggressive species, inclined to rapidly increasing the green mass and the oss of neighboring plants.

Before grabbing a shovel and develop a new bed, we will deal with the definition of what a mixture is a mandatory element of the European landscape design and a relatively new kind of complex flowering flowering flowering. If you correctly pick up plants and carefully care for them, beautiful mixtures remain those throughout the year. Improve the art of creating a flower bed-mixboard can be infinity, but it is better to start with the easiest and most affordable schemes.

Mixborror - Flower Hand

Almost everything can learn the art of combining plants. For example, after reading this article, each second reader will be able to create with your own hands (without resorting to the help of landscape designers) such a complex element of garden design like a mixture.

Let's just say that to care for such a flower bed, which is most often drawn up with perennial and annual plants, cereals and potted flowers, decorative shrubs and even small coniferous trees, extremely hard. To provide different types of plants as correct care, a systematic care is needed:

• timely transplant;
• equity;
• watering;
• trimming;
• fertilizer and prevention of diseases.

And if you were not frightened upcoming difficulties, and you dream of mixing the mysborers to make your garden or a cottage even more picturesque, then it's time to familiarize yourself with the most important rules for creating continuous flowering mixtures.

Creating a mixboarder - where to start?

The mixture in the garden differs from the curb and the discounts by the fact that the flowers in it are placed by free dense groups that smoothly flow into each other. At the same time, there should be plants in any mixborror that will create a "winter effect", set the height and shape of the fragrant island. In landscape design, they are called "skeletal" or main islands of the composition.

Prepare the soil and dividing the site into three unequal parts, first (on the back plan of the front mixleter) plant plants with leaves of interesting forms are planted. The following row is discharged for tall colors with straight stems. Then placed the average plants without lush foliage. Next, low, soil plants are planted, and already for them - annuals.

Such a long-term placement is done in order to "disguise" the stretched stems of the mid-plan colors.

Choice of place for mixboarder

Flower beds are free outlines (so more called gardeners) are located in open solar sections or (if it is "wood mysteries") in a slightly pronounced places.

Coniferous perest perennial compositions made up of a mixture of various plants: hereski, Eric, rhododendrons and dwarf sorts of conifers, especially spectacularly look along the live swelling, a small slide, the facade of the house or on the edge of the terrace.

"English Mixborror", the basis of which is the garden and wild perennial plants most often have on the background of lawn parallel to the tracks leading to buildings along the walls of the house. Mixbororder along the fence or fence will emphasize and complete the composition of the landscape design of the site.

Prefabricated compositions or "combined mixboards" are divided into large areas. The length of such an elongated flower garden is practically not limited - it can take the entire perimeter of the site or only its inner part. In this case, a part of the flower garden is in the open sun, a part in the half and a part in the shade.

Organically next to the country house or with a luxurious cottage, "shrub mixtures" - compositions collected from beautiful-flowering and decorative shrubs.

And if the "shrub mixborror" is a relatively new element, then "seasonal" - a long time-tested option for another garden building, where the landing of perennial plants is irrational.

It is beautifully supplemented with a shady garden composition, using a decorative floral strip, formed from shadowish shrubs and colors.

Regardless of location, mixtores need to plant rows. At the same time, the landing of low participants in the plant composition (up to 40 cm) are produced on the forefront, medium (up to 60 cm) and high (100 cm or more) - to the rear.

Plants for mixboarder

Words that came to us from a foggy albion "Mix" (with English) and Border (from English, border, border) became an integral part of the gardens in any style. And at the same time, only at first glance it seems that plants on the mixtore are planted chaotic. Of course, this is not. But many novice amateur gardeners, little, knowing about the compatibility of plants and their demands, land near all in a row. As a result, instead of a pictorial band, something running and neakkurat occurs.

For example, it is not necessary to plant a mixed mixture with a very large planting density of quickly smaller perennial plants, with a creeping view of rhizomes (for example, Louis wormwood). Yes, they really suppress the growth of annoying weeds, but on the growth of some capricious plants, like the valley and other bulbous, affect the extremely negative.

That is, ready-made mixtures that we most often see on the colorful pictures are at the same time a fascinating and incredibly difficult project, the success of which entirely depends on the right choice of plants.

Step-by-step decoration of mixtures from perennials, conifers and shrubs do it yourself

Flower garden Mixboro in the garden will attract attention from early spring until October-November, if the plants pick up so that some flourishing, and replaced others. At the same time, green foliage will play an important role in the design of this kind of flower garden, which during the battleflinking period of certain species will not give a mixleretary to lose pomp and decorativeness.

Strengthen the decorative effect of the longline flower garden can be if perennial plants land with groups, as on a detailed mixture diagram below:

It is very important that the group of plants that you are going to make up a mixborror, have similar needs: soil acidity requirements and its fertility, to ensure moisture and light level. So, all the flowers in the diagram presented above grow well and in full sun, and in a rare shadow. They are not too capricious in care, which means to feed and water them can be in the complex.

Mixleboard design in the garden - all shades of mood

Even the most beautiful flowers that are dissected among themselves in color can create chaos in the flower arrangement and completely destroy it. The color solution, carefully and competently thoughtful, is important for any flower bed, and for a complex mixboarder especially.

An indelible impression produces a flower garden built in contrasts. It seems incredibly bright and sets the rhythm to the entire preservation site. For example, impressive contrasts create a combination of purple and canary yellow, saturated green and red, celestial and orange. At the same time, planting the plants of contrasting shades is not chaotic. Visually colors are mixed and become dirty. The optimal option is as an emphasis to choose plants with large colors and already among them to plant small-bedroom individuals of another color with small spots.

It is elegant and deeply looks the monochrome mixture (which is presented below). It relaxes and adds the heaters of the whole garden. The perfect monochrome in the flower bed is three colors, with smooth transitions from one color range to another. To revitalize in the monochrome composition, plants with white flowers are often included.
