Annual flowers, not afraid of heat

And the following information, I think, will be interesting to my countrymen, the inhabitants of Kuban. Last summer( 2017) was very hot here. Other regions complained about the cold summer, well, and we had the opposite. And in my beds, in the flower beds of many of my friends there was not much pomp. Some flowers refused to bloom, other flowers were unusually scanty, and still others simply survived in conditions of extreme heat - it was a pity to look at them.

Nevertheless, there were flowers that were not affected by the abnormally hot sun, or by rare, but heavy( in the full sense of the word) rain. But before I even blurted them out. These were the same year olds, but they sprang up self-sowing and grew not at all where I needed. That is, last summer showed that these annual flowers are very viable. In the conditions of last summer, only they abundantly bloomed and smelled.

This is mirabilis, fragrant tobacco and purslane. I will write briefly about each.

Mirabilis

This flower is necessarily present in the flower garden of my grandmother, then my mother and I also love him very much. True, in my childhood I did not know his real name, we all called him “night-time dawn”.And he fully justified its name. The flowers opened in the evening, stood open all night and only in the morning, closed at dawn. We had varieties with bright crimson flowers, but there are with white, yellow, pink and pale salmon petals. I saw even with flowers of different colors in one bush. At home, it is a perennial, in Kuban conditions it can survive the winter, and it can even freeze, but then around the frozen plant numerous shoots appear, of which only the strongest and healthiest remain. I think that in conditions of the middle lane it is definitely an annual. By the way, many people grow it at home on the windowsill.

Mirabilis very unpretentious plant. In addition to evening watering, easy loosening, removal of weeds, he received nothing from me last year, but he was almost the main decoration of the garden. Blossom to the cold. 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 plant, but each year in spring in the same place new shoots appear. I can only limit its distribution throughout the garden. But to be honest, I'm not particularly zealous. 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 “extra” plants. Also does not require special care. Only shoots can weed "weed", so the removal of weeds is mandatory at first. Then, when the plant rises up, no weeds are not afraid of him, because only the strongest and strongest survived the winter survive. By the way, in the spring I often transplant tobacco plants from the places where I don’t need it for empty bald spots in the flowerbed. Growing up, becoming a bushy bush, it not only closes the bare place in the flower garden, but also creates a wonderful background for low-growing plants.

Portulak

Portulak, this is also a flower from my childhood. Every summer I saw him in my grandmother's and in my mother's flower garden. We called him a "carpet" because he covered the ground by the paths in the front garden with a bright carpet. It was the purslane that gave the flower garden a certain completeness, completeness. What beautiful flowers have portulaca! .There are simple, there are terry or semi-double the most diverse colors. Portulaca blooms all summer, from June until frost. In the evenings, the flowers are closed, but in the morning they “burn”, like colorful lights in a flower bed. It is possible to sow the purslane only once and, thanks to the abundant self-seeding, it will please you every year. He likes sunny places, blooms badly in the shade or does not bloom at all. It grows well on sandy soils. But he also likes my black soil. I do not know how correct my observations are, but it seems better not to fertilize the purslane. Growing a purslane can even weeds survive. At least, I have never seen weeds in the place where it grows.

When choosing annual flowers for summer cottage, you can buy seedlings or seeds in specialized flower shops or supermarket departments. Today, the choice of sowing materials is so wide that it is not difficult to find the desired flower.

High representatives are excellent for decorating flowerbeds or mixborders, in mixed flower gardens they usually create a background. When planning the site design for the summer season, consider the combination of sizes( heights) of plants, their color range. Botanical requirements for soil moisture, lightness, fertilization should also be borne in mind. Sometimes species of plants with the same name can be both tall and short stunted. When buying seeds, read the enclosed information. Annual flowers that bloom all summer - the name and photo are always on the package. Try to keep crops that grow close to each other from an agrotechnical point of view.
