Let's provide to your attention the types of shrubs that bloom in a certain season:

Most popular perennial shrubs
There is a very wide range of perennial shrubs that can brightly complement the garden at the dacha, but the following 4 plants are considered the most popular and attractive:
- Japanese quince
All of them have a bright color, which they climbed higher on the ladder of popularity than their counterparts, and are also able to tolerate frost without complications.
For example, Japanese quince is widely used in landscape design for empty gardening, and creating hedges. Her bright red-orange leaves insanely beautifully complement the decor of the garden and attract attention.
Weigela is also used for the arrangement of the alpine slide. Weigela ornamental shrubs are widely used in Japanese gardens and can complement almost any garden style. Weigela color can be different, but pink is the most popular and pleasant.

Photo garden decoration with perennial shrubs
Let us give you the most vivid examples of the design of a garden plot with the help of perennial shrubs:
To date, there are few suburban areas on which at least one ornamental shrub would not advertise. For careless gardeners, they only cause problems, and in skillful hands they become a work of art and a unique decoration of the garden.
Before you buy a shrub for the design of country design, we offer to familiarize yourself with a selection of the most interesting and original specimens. To plot after planting ornamental shrubs looked stylish and original, you should consider the purpose of each species.
Low-growing shrubs - versatile garden decoration. They can be a separate composition, serve as a hedge or border along the walkway or flower bed. Quite often they are used in the design of rabatok.
Larger shrubs can divide the area into zones, and a hedge of medium size will serve as protection from the sun.
Tall bushes are well suited for decorating unsightly walls, and for shading certain parts of the garden. They are good in single landings.
Coniferous and evergreen shrubs, zest of any site. Without them, the design will be unfinished. They can be made the center of the composition, landed on a large area as a living fence, their combination with a rose looks very original, but the downside is that not every rose will like this neighborhood.
The blossoming mini-trees will be a bright touch on a green background of a hedge and a dacha decoration. A single rose bush will help to dilute the monotony of the design, or to decorate the entrance area.
At first glance, everything seems to be simple: he chose the bushes he liked, marked the plot and planted them according to the marking. But such an approach can lead to the garden becoming impassable jungle.
The basis for decorating a garden is a thoughtful and skillful combination of plants. To achieve the effect, when choosing the place of shrubs, it is necessary to take into account a lot: the size of adult plants, the silhouette and volume that they form.
Together, shrubs look good in excellent growth form. A tandem mini-spruce with a Japanese maple, or decorative cherry with rhododendrons and cypress trees, will make a complete image.
Well combined plants with contrasting color of leaves. They complement each other and create a bright accent. One group can be mottled eoscleats, golden spruce and fan maple with purple leaves.
The ensemble will look more spectacular if it contains at least one shrub, characterized by bright flowering.
It is not necessary to build a composition in one row, usually they are seated on two or three lines, and the front should not overlap the bushes, standing behind more than 20 percent. You can place mini-trees and in the shape of a triangle.
When forming the composition, it is necessary to take into account the compatibility of plants. So some types of coniferous shrubs are quite aggressive towards their leafy counterparts. They can suppress their growth and development, and even completely destroy.
Particular attention should be paid to the calculation of the distance between plantings, for this purpose, the height of the adult bush is multiplied by two.
The distance between shrubs depends on their size:
- Stunted (almonds, dwarf conifers) should be planted at a distance of 70-80 cm.
- Sredneroslye (henomeles, felt cherry, rhododendron, deutia) - at a distance of 1.2-1.5 m
- Tall (spirea, lilac, forsythia, viburnum, hawthorn) - the distance should be at least 2 m.
