The decoration of a summer cottage is not an easy task, requiring not only aesthetic taste, but also certain knowledge in the field of floristry and gardening. When choosing plants for a flower garden, you need to make sure that they will be in harmony with each other in shape, size and color, and also converge in care requirements. If landscape design is a topic that you have not yet fully studied, we suggest you find out what flowers to plant in the country to bloom all summer - photos and details.
Flowers in the countryside create comfort Why do many gardeners prefer to arrange a variety of flower beds from plants that do not lose their decorative effect during all three hot months? The answer is simple - it makes it easier to care for. When the flowering period of plants in the same flower bed is long and completely coincides, there is no need to fill empty spaces or completely replace plantings.
Plants for a summer flower bed - annuals or perennials?
Assortment blooming all summer ornamental crops represented by annual and perennial varieties. Gardeners actively use both those and others. The advantage of annuals is the ability to decorate the cottage in a new way every season. Even using the seeds of last year's flowers, you can create different shapes and combinations.
Perennials are easy to care for. They winter well, so they do not need to be grown from scratch every year. In addition, during transplantation, perennial flowers can be divided, thereby increasing the number of bushes.

unpretentious perennials – great option for planting in the country or in the garden, if you simply do not have time to carefully care for the flowers. From perennials completely different in shape, height, color and texture, you can create magnificent complex compositions that will delight for more than one year.
Astilba is a perennial upright plant from the saxifrage family, popular in floriculture. The name of the plant is translated from Latin as "without shine", which indicates matte leaves. In horticultural culture, it is valued because of its undemanding care and long-term abundant flowering.
Plants of different varieties reach two meters in height or can be quite low. The aerial part of the bush dies off for the winter. Dissected leaves with red cuttings make the plant decorative at any time.
Astilba blooms during the summer months. Paniculate or pyramidal inflorescences with high peduncles are collected from small openwork flowers, have a variety of colors: white, pink, lilac, purple, red.
Astilbe is propagated by seeds and division of the bush.
Astilba can be grown in the most shaded corners of the site, it does not need abundant sunlight, but it needs to be provided with enough water. The bush looks aesthetically pleasing in mixborders with others shade-loving perennials: lilies of the valley, irises, late tulips, bergenia. Classic variant for the site - a flower bed with astilbe and hosta.
Important!For astilba, it is useful to mulch the ground with bark, straw, sawdust or small pebbles, this reduces overheating, retains moisture and looseness of the soil, and creates a comfortable wintering for the plant.
Catchment (aquilegia) -
herbaceous perennial of the buttercup family. The catchment can grow for many years in one place with little or no care, it is undemanding to light and soil, it does not need winter shelter (except for five-year-old plants).
The development cycle of aquilegia flowers is two years. The flowers are complex bell-shaped. The color of the flowers is varied different types and varieties: there are monochromatic and two-color flowers, shades of petals - white, yellow, rich pink, blue, purple. Plants of many European and American varieties of aquilegia have spurs on flowers - outgrowths on the petals where nectar accumulates.
The catchment is propagated by seeds, cuttings and, in extreme cases, by dividing the bush. After flowering, the stems are cut to the very rosette of leaves.
A composition of multi-colored aquilegia is an excellent flower bed for the lazy. Also, the catchment is planted in the foreground in combination with other plants: low forms - with saxifrage, carnations, gentians; high - with poppies and bluebells.
Very beautiful compositions with aquilegia and irises, bathing suits, ferns, astilba near the reservoirs.
Dicentra, popularly nicknamed "broken heart", belongs to the poppy family.
This is a lush bush up to a meter high with succulent stems. There are also dwarf species (up to 15 cm) and creepers.
Dissected bluish-green leaves and arcuate graceful inflorescences also have decorative properties. Thanks to the pink flowers, the dicenter cannot be confused with another plant: they resemble hearts up to 2 cm in diameter in shape. At the bottom of the flower are protruding white petals. The dicentra blooms in May, the duration of flowering is a month.
Dicentra propagates by division of the rhizome and above-ground shoots, the seed method is very laborious and often inefficient.
You can plant it on any soil, but it is better to choose nutritious, light, moderately moist and drained. Both a sunny place and a shade are suitable for a dicentra. In the shade, flowering will be later, but long-lasting.
Care for a "broken heart" consists in timely watering, weeding and loosening the soil.
Dicentra looks good in bright flower beds with spring tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, primrose, combined with forget-me-nots, hosta, aquilegia, ferns. It is planted on curbs and lawns, in rockeries.
Did you know?The folk names of the plant are often based on legends of unhappy love. In France, the dicenter is called "cœur de Marie" (Mary's heart) and "cœur-de-Jeannette" (Jeanette's heart), in Germany "herzblumen" (flowers of the heart), in Poland "serce Jasia" (Jas' heart), in Bulgaria " ladies' heart" (ladies' heart). In English, there is the familiar name "bleeding heart" (bleeding heart) and quite unusual - "lady-in-a-bath", which means "lady in the bath."
Iris (iris) is a perennial of the iris (iris) family.
Flat xiphoid leaves are collected in bunches in the form of a fan. Large flowers are painted in different colors: lilac, purple, blue, pink, white, yellow, burgundy. Irises are remarkable for the shape of the flowers: three petals are bent down, and three grow together into a tube at the top. Probably, for such a bizarre shape in Ukraine, the iris was called "pіvnik" (cockerel).
Irises love light and fertile soil with good drainage (except for the marsh and Siberian species, which prefer wet ground). Plant nutrition is carried out with mineral fertilizers. Most often, irises are propagated vegetatively (by dividing the rhizome).
Irises of different types and varieties can be planted in a monoflower - iridarium. The borders of irises along the paths or along the perimeter of the flower garden look beautiful. A bush of bearded iris can be planted against a shrub or lawn. Marsh iris is good for decorating garden ponds. Dwarf irises are suitable for creating rockeries (slides).
Important! When planting in a flower bed near the iris, it is better to place perennials with deep roots, since it root system is in upper layers soil.
Lupine ("wolf bean") belongs to the legume family. A plant up to 1.5 m high is distinguished by high inflorescences - brushes of different colors: white, pink, yellow, red, purple, purple. The brush can reach a length of up to 0.5 m.
Lupine is propagated by seeds (seedlings and sowing in open ground), less often by cuttings.
Not too alkaline or acidic soil in a lighted area is suitable for planting lupine. Heavy loamy and wet soil is not recommended. In shaded places, the plant stretches and becomes less decorative.
To care for the plant, you need to loosen the soil and remove weeds, adult plants must be hilled. Lupine loves plentiful in spring and moderate watering at other times.
Lupine is sometimes grown as green manure - a nitrogen replenisher in the soil: its rotten stems and leaves become a good fertilizer.
Lupine looks good in a single planting, in homogeneous groups and in complex flower beds with other perennials: cornflower, iris, hosta, delphinium, lily. Tall bright lupins are planted in the background of the composition.
Important! In developing the design of a multi-level flower bed, it is important to correctly position the plants in height. If the flower bed is placed near a fence or wall, tall plants are planted in the background, and low ones in the foreground. If the flower bed looks like an island, tall plants are placed in the center, and low plants are placed at the edges. Tall perennials can be planted alone or in small groups, and medium-sized plants can be placed next to them.
The peony family contains only one genus - peony, the majority of which are herbaceous species. Peony bushes attract with fragrant lush flowers of one or different shades(red, burgundy, pink, white), the diameter of which reaches 15-20 cm. There are about five thousand varieties of peonies, they all have different characteristics. Peonies are very frost-resistant and have considerable longevity. They prefer areas with good lighting and the absence of drafts. The best soil for peony - loam.
The peony is propagated by seeds (more often in selection) and by dividing the bush. Peony care includes infrequent abundant watering, weeding, loosening the soil, fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers.
Peonies look most impressive in a vast space in the middle of the lawn.. In garden design, peonies can be used to give volume to a flower arrangement and create a backdrop for plants after flowering. In this case, it is necessary to take into account color scheme. For example, plants with red flowers against the background of burgundy peonies will be lost, and a combination with white or coral will create a good ensemble.
Plant height is also important: partners should be taller (trees) or shorter (plants with small flowers). Several different varieties of peony are best not planted side by side.
Important!Between the peony bushes, it is better not to plant other plants, but to leave this place free for loosening.
Chamomile is called a perennial daisy –
herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. The erect stem can reach up to a meter in length. The flowers of leucanthemum are inflorescences-baskets with a yellow center of fruit-bearing tubular flowers and long sterile false-lingual flowers along the edge. In addition to the traditional white color of the petals, the plants also have yellow, pink, lilac, brown.
Leucanthemum is propagated by seeds (sowing in open ground and seedlings), cuttings and division of the rhizome.
So that the stalks of leucanthemum are not deformed, it is better not to place the plant in the shade. Garden chamomile prefers sunny locations with good drainage. Instead of sandy or clayey soil, it is better to choose calcareous or neutral soil for cornflower.
Caring for the cornflower consists in watering (frequently for seedlings and only in drought for rooted plants), weeding, loosening and fertilizing the soil with organic fertilizers. During flowering, wilted inflorescences should be removed, and after flowering, the entire bush should be cut. For the winter, the nivyanik is covered with dry leaves.
Simple in appearance, but very decorative flowers leucanthemum is well suited for complex flower beds - mixborders. They can also be planted alone or in combination with other plants.

A plant with a height of 0.25 m to 1.5 m has hard, straight stems with stiff hairs.
Large inflorescences-baskets are notable for bright contrasting shades: the middle is black or dark brown, and the petals are yellow, orange and red.
Perennial rudbeckia is often propagated by dividing the bush. When planting a plant, two factors unacceptable for it should be considered: shade and poorly drained soil. Plant care is very simple and includes timely regular watering in the morning or evening, loosening the soil and removing weeds.
Sunny rudbeckia - wonderful unpretentious flowers for the garden in rustic style, which involves the use of natural materials in decor, fuzzy lines and simple plants. A bright spot of rudbeckia will create a mixborder in the background. Successful combination with rudbeckia will make purple echinacea. In autumn, chrysanthemums and asters look beautiful nearby.

On one leaf blade, several colors can be arranged in stripes, spots, lines. Leaf color is one of the signs of the classification of host varieties; the second sign is the size of the plant (from dwarf to giant).
Hosta is propagated by seeds, dividing the bush, cuttings. Different varieties of hostas need different lighting: blue varieties like shade, plants with yellow and white elements on the leaves prefer more light. Optimal lighting for hostas is partial shade. The soil should be neutral or slightly acidic, sand and heavy loam are not recommended. If the soil is fertile, fertilizing is not required for several years.
For hosta, timely watering is important, it is done under the root of the plant in the morning. Due to its strong growth in the garden, the undersized hosta is used as a ground cover. It is often planted at the edges garden paths, near reservoirs. In hosta flower beds it provides a backdrop for other perennials. garden flowers: astilbe, aquilegia, dicentra, peony, fern.
Did you know?Without a transplant, the host grows in one place for up to twenty years.

Basal leaves with long petioles and teeth along the edges have a wide oval shape. Echinacea blooms from the second year of life, in the summer months.
Thanks to varietal diversity today you can grow not only the usual bright pink, but also yellow, orange, white, red echinacea.
Did you know? Echinacea - valuable medicinal plant, which has a powerful immunomodulatory effect, as well as antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties.
For echinacea, you need to choose a bright and fertile place, as it does not tolerate shade and sandy soil. However, the plant is resistant to drought and cold. Echinacea is propagated by seeds (specific plants) and division of the bush (hybrid varieties). All that the plant requires in care is plentiful frequent watering in the evening, removing weeds and top dressing from rotted compost with ash from the second year of life in spring and after flowering.
Echinacea can be placed in a multi-level flower bed of high, medium and low (ground cover) perennials.
Unpretentious perennial flowers do not require painstaking care and will allow you to create a beautiful composition for a summer residence without much hassle. The most difficult thing in working with such plants is the choice of your specimen from the many species and varieties of perennials.

Kvamoklit pinnate (Ruby stars) Annual flowers that are not afraid of the heat
And this information will be of interest to my countrymen, residents of the Kuban. The summer of 2017 was very hot for us. Other regions complained about the cold summer, but we had the opposite. And in my flower beds, in the flower beds of acquaintances, there was no particular splendor. Some flowers refused to bloom, others had scarce flowers, and still others simply survived in extreme heat - it was a pity to look at them.
But there were flowers that were not affected either by the abnormally hot sun, or rare, but torrential (in the full sense of the word) rains. In fact, I used to weed them out. These were annuals, but they sprouted by self-sowing and did not grow at all where I needed them. That is, that summer showed that these flowers are very resilient. In the conditions of that summer, only they bloomed profusely and smelled.
These are mirabilis, fragrant tobacco and purslane. I will write briefly about each.
Mirabilis
This flower must have grown in the flower garden of my grandmother, mother, and I also love it very much. True, in childhood I did not know his real name, we all called him Zorka. And he fully justified his name. The flowers opened in the evening, stood open all night and closed only in the morning, at dawn. We had varieties with bright crimson flowers, but there are white, yellow, pink and pale salmon petals. I even saw with flowers different color on one bush. At home, it is a perennial, in the conditions of the Kuban it can survive the winter, or maybe not, but then in the spring shoots appear in this place, of which only the strongest and healthiest remain. I think that under the conditions middle lane it is definitely an annual. By the way, many grow it at home on the windowsill.
Mirabilis is an unpretentious plant. In addition to evening watering, light loosening, removing weeds, last year he did not receive anything from me, but was almost the main decoration of the garden. Bloomed until frost. And they came to us almost in December.
Fragrant tobacco
For me, fragrant tobacco is a flower that "planted and forgotten." This is an annual, but every year in the spring new shoots appear in the same place. I just have to keep it from growing all over the garden. But to be honest, I'm not particularly zealous. The flowers of fragrant tobacco are not very noticeable, but in the evenings such an aroma spreads throughout the garden that you don’t want to get rid of the “extra” plants. It also does not require special care. Only seedlings can "clog" weeds, so their removal is mandatory at first. Then, when the plant gets stronger, no weeds are afraid of it. Only the strongest and strongest who survive the winter survive. Sometimes I transplant tobacco plants in the spring from those places where I do not need it to empty places in the flower bed. Growing, becoming a fluffy bush, it not only closes the bare spot in the flower garden, but also creates a backdrop for undersized plants.
Purslane
Purslane, this is also a flower from my childhood. Every summer I saw him both in my grandmother's and in my mother's flower garden. We called him "carpet", because he covered the ground with a bright carpet near the paths in the front garden. It was the purslane that gave the flower garden a certain completeness. Which beautiful flowers at the purslane! There are simple, there are terry or semi-double of the most diverse colors. Purslane blooms all summer, from June until frost. In the evenings, the flowers close, but in the morning they “burn” like multi-colored lights in a flower bed. You can sow purslane only once and, thanks to abundant self-seeding, it will delight you every year. Likes sunny places, in the shade it blooms poorly or does not bloom at all. Grows well in sandy soils. But he also likes my black soil. I do not know how true my observations are, but it seems to be better not to fertilize purslane. Growing, purslane can even survive weeds. I have never observed weeds in the place where it grows.
When choosing annual flowers for giving, you can buy seedlings or seeds in flower shops or supermarket departments. Today, the choice of seed materials is so wide that finding the desired flower is not difficult.
Tall representatives are great for decorating flower beds or mixborders; in mixed flower beds, they usually create a backdrop. When planning the design of the site for the summer season, consider the combination of sizes (heights) of plants, their colors. The requirements of flowers for soil moisture, lighting, fertilizers should also be borne in mind. Sometimes plant species with the same name can be both tall and short, medium tall. When buying seeds, study the attached information. Annual flowers that bloom all summer - the name and photo are always on the package. Try to keep crops that grow next to each other close from an agrotechnical point of view.
The labor-intensive and not always successful cultivation of capricious gladioli, roses and pelargonium is not to every gardener's liking.
