So come to increase the number of flowers in the plantings of perennials.

The following types of perennial flowers are recalled to such a technique: veronica, heliopsis( golden ball), echinacea, stonecrop, goldenrod and garden phlox.

In plants with shorter stems, a larger number of low stems with a lot of less heavy inflorescences are observed. Such phloxes look better in bouquets.
