Thanks to the planting of several varieties of shrubs, you can diversify the range of fruit seedlings in the garden. Regarding the choice of plants, it is so great that with confidence something advise will not work. Species and varieties must be selected according to the individual characteristics of the plants.
For low curbs you can use a low and dense variety. boxwood (Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa) is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with very beautiful shiny dark green leaves.
The box is great not only for decoration of the balcony in the oriental style, but also for the parade trimmed borders. Several varieties of boxwood have been developed, which differ not only in the shape of the leaf, but also in the variegated color of the leaves.
The box is shade tolerant and drought resistant, prefers fertile, loose soil without stagnant water. For the winter, boxwood is preferably covered with agrospanum to protect the leaves from winter and early spring sunburn.
For curb planting it is quite possible to use some varieties forchun Euonymus (Euonymus fortunei) - slow-growing, very low, creeping shrub up to half a meter long, up to 3 meters, easily rooted in the internodes of the shoots. These shoots are quite capable of clinging to the support, if there is one. Forchun's euonymus has small green leathery leaves 2-5 centimeters in length.
This species, as well as its hybrid forms, for example, Forchun's variegated euonymus (Euonymus fortunei Variegatus) with white-green leaves and pink veins, which can also be used as a ground-cover plant. And the ripening fruits will not only add decorativeness to the bushes, but also serve as food for the birds.
Forchun's euonymus prefers a half-tail, is drought-resistant enough, tolerates pruning well.
Karagan (Caragana) has long been used as an ornamental plant. Perhaps, most of us know it as an acacia growing in forest belts and parks, but in reality it is Karagan. For example, species such as caragana prickly (Caragana pygmaea) and caragana Orange (Caragana aurantiaca) can create even impassable thickets, if not cut.
Caragan orange is a loose bush up to 1 meter tall with numerous bulging shoots.
It grows well in urban conditions, tolerates drought perfectly, is not demanding on soil fertility at all. She needs to be trimmed constantly to get a solid green curb. Caragana prickly differs from orange only in yellow flowers.
Very beautiful in hedge snowberry (Symphoricarpos). The snowberry is a deciduous shrub up to 1-1.5 meters high, especially beautiful in autumn, during long-term fruiting, when the branches are leaning under the weight of numerous white berries, and really resemble small drifts of snow. And, maybe, it is so called because the berries on the shrub hold for a long time, right up to the snow.
The snowberry grows very quickly, is completely unpretentious in care, prefers open sunny places, calcareous soils. It grows well in urban environments with insufficient watering. It tolerates a haircut and the formation of a bush. Sometimes in severe snowless winters can freeze slightly, but very quickly restored.
For a low hedge you can use semi-evergreen glossy honeysuckle, or brilliant (Lonicera nitida) with a lot of lodging shoots, abundantly dotted with shiny green oblong leaves.
Honeysuckle brilliantly grows well on sandy and clay soils, if you take measures to improve fertility, make the ground water and breathable. It grows well in open, sunny places, and in partial shade. Honeysuckle is a brilliant thermophilic, so in our climate it loses leaves for the winter and can freeze slightly, therefore, requires shelter for the winter.
and capillary honeysuckle (Lonicera pileata), different from the first fragrant pale yellow flowers. Fruits, medium-sized fruits, with cherry, purple. Honeysuckle can grow both in the sun and in partial shade; besides, it is more enduring than glossy honeysuckle, but in cold winters it still loses leaves.
Almond low, or almond steppe (Amygdalis nana = Amygdalis tenella = Prunus tenella) - short, up to 1-1.5 meters tall, branchy deciduous shrub, especially beautiful in early spring, when it blooms with very bright, eye-catching, pink flowers that bloom together with the leaves. Almonds are unpretentious, so it can be successfully used to create permanent garden compositions, flower beds.
Almond low prefers sunny places, calmly endures drought, can grow on poor sandy soils. On clay soils for almonds will have to do drainage, since it does not tolerate stagnant water in the soil.
For low curbs suitable dammer's cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri), cotoneaster pressed (Cotoneaster adpressus), cotoneaster horizontal (Cotoneaster horizontalis). Dammera cotoneaster is a ground-cover evergreen shrub with long, easily rooted shoots and small, up to 4 centimeters, oval leaves. In autumn, ripening red fruits add a decorative element to the cotoneaster.
Cotoneaster pressed refers to deciduous ground cover plants. It has small, up to 1.5 centimeters, rounded leaves. Red fruits also ripen in September.
Cotone killers are undemanding to soil fertility, they can grow in an open sunny place, and in partial shade, do not tolerate a strong overmoistening, but are very responsive to watering during arid time. For the winter, these types of cotoneaster should be covered as they freeze.
Very decorative Potentilla. For low hedgerows quite suitable lapchatka Daurian (Potentella davutica) and purpleweed shrub (Potentella fruticosa).
Potentilla Daurian - low deciduous shrub up to 1 meter tall, blooms all summer with white flowers. Potentilla shrub - neat shrubs are rounded in shape, but slightly higher than cinquefoil Dahurian, it blooms with yellow flowers, there are varietal forms with white, pink and red flowers. In the care of Potentilla unpretentious, grow well in an open sunny area with minimal irrigation and dressing. Well tolerated haircut, shelters for the winter do not require.
For dry areas with depleted soil for hedges, you can use a steppe plant such as woodwax (Genista tinctoria) - dense shrub up to 1 meter tall with thin shoots directed upwards. Shoots are covered with narrow pale green leaves. Blooms bright yellow flowers. The shrub is very unpretentious, although in snowless winters it can freeze, but it recovers quickly.
the Rose (Rose) - in no way inferior in beauty to rhododendon, rather, equal among equals, is a worthy representative of ornamental shrubs. For low borders, it is quite possible to use ground cover, miniature, patio, polyanthus and even some undersized varieties of floribunda roses. Carefully trimmed, or growing freely - roses never leave indifferent.
However, in order for the roses to always be in excellent condition, you need to work hard: the roses are quite whimsical. The soil they need nutritious, moderately moist. Roses need thinning and sanitary pruning. For the winter all the roses you need to cover.
For some reason to currant (Ribes) and gooseberry (Grossularia) we are accustomed to treat only as fruit shrubs. However, it is worth looking at them from the other side. Any currant is decorative during the growing season: in the spring, during flowering, and in the summer, during the fruiting period, and even without fruits.
All currants and gooseberries are very similar, but for a stunted hedge is quite suitable alpine currant (Ribes alpinum) is a compact and rather dense deciduous shrub up to 1.5 meters tall, it is a dioecious plant, female specimens are suitable for fruiting. True, the berries in currant Alpine tasteless. Alpine currant is quite unpretentious, grows well in sunny areas, it is undemanding to the soil, but when feeding, the bush is much thicker, tolerates pruning, does not need shelter.
The henomeles of Japanese hedge is very decorative. Henomeles japanese (Chaenomeles japonica), or japonica - dense deciduous shrub up to 1 meter tall. Very beautiful chaenomeles during flowering, when covered with marvelous red flowers. When set, small round fruits are formed with a pleasant lemon taste and smell, from which jam and jams are made.
However, Japanese henomeles need protection from northerly winds. It is photophilous, it grows better on fertile, well-drained soils. In winter, shoots may freeze slightly, but they recover quickly in spring. With heavy thickening, thinning is required.
From this list, it is possible to choose plants that are ideally suited for your site, as required for conditions of detention, fertility, acidity and soil moisture.
There is absolutely no need to go against nature and plant Magonia, or rhododendron, on poor, dry soils, or on wet marshy areas — almond, rammer, or boxwood. Only plants ideally suited to your conditions will quickly grow, become a real highlight of the garden, and most importantly, they will not require a lot of care.

»Trees
The gardens and villas of the new wave are stylish cottages, with a comfortable platform for the rest of the townspeople, surrounded by a beautiful landscape. The traditional cottage, the main function of which is to harvest, also necessarily includes a recreation area.lovingly decorated by the hosts. It is for the spectacular design of the backyard territory, the beautiful lawn, and the playground for the children, that ornamental plants and trees are needed, which are worth discussing in detail.
In addition to the natural aesthetic function - to give people the enjoyment of the beauty of nature, ornamental trees and shrubs are used by gardeners and designers to solve purely practical problems. The visual expansion is too narrow, or a very small area. Decoration of outbuildings, strengthening of sloping areas and talus. Zoning of the site, the creation of dividing screens between the garden and the backyard zone. Protection of the individual space of a small cottage from prying eyes, without erecting a fence.
Popular ornamental trees in the garden and in the country
The current trend in gardening is a beautiful, fruit-bearing garden that does not require huge physical expenditures for the care and maintenance of decoration. The priority is the beauty and simplicity of trees; the practical use of plantations goes into the background. This explains the popularity of new forms of fruit and forest trees represented by modern selection.:
- compact standard trees with spherical crown;
- dwarf forms fruit and forest trees;
- weeping forms;
- columnar hybrids habitual trees.
An interesting novelty is the use of forest trees to decorate a summer cottage. For example, hornbeam seedlings are sold by nurseries at bargain prices. The hornbeam is great for creating hedges, decorative backs and walls.
To create spectacular compositions, edging lawns, use trees of different heights.:
- tall (up to 6 m);
- medium tall (up to 3 m);
- stunted and dwarf trees (up to 1.5 m).
The backdrop is made of tall trees (wall, or focal point), which is complemented by lower trees and shrubs. The foreground of the composition is formed from undersized. Trees can be decorated with gravel, placed on an open lawn, soloed, or combined into relief, multi-tiered groups.
The highest ones are planted in the background, then the middle ones. Stunted trees and shrubs have in front.
Recognized leader - coniferous trees
Mature plants require little maintenance. Coniferous plants are decorative all year round, including winter. In early spring, many species bloom with bright lilac candles that resemble Christmas decorations.. Then comes the time of active growth, the young shoots are much brighter than last year’s branches. During this period, all coniferous trees look especially elegant.
Spruce grows well in marshy soils, this is especially important for the Moscow region. Pine is drought-resistant, well tolerated pruning, which allows to vary the height and decorative shape. For low hedges, walls can be recommended yew. Yew holds the shape perfectly, does not require significant trimming.
Thuy
Unpretentious thuy can be safely chosen as the main decorative element of the garden, which will combine planting a single plan. Thuis of different varieties will perfectly fit into the composition with low-growing shrubs, variegated and flowering trees.
In the nursery, you can pick up varieties of pyramidal, ellipsoid, or spherical shape. It looks very interesting garden wall of the thuja, planted with a smooth line. This allows you to unusually beat even the standard suburban area.
For the middle band recommended varieties and hybrids of the Western thuja. Unpretentious grade Brabant suitable for the formation of the wall, backstage. A single thuja will grow wide, a close landing of the thuja (after 0.5 m) will form a wall too low. The optimal distance between seedlings of the Brabant variety is 1 m. An interesting variety is Wagner's thuja, which has a rounded shape, shorter growth. Thuja loves the shower, spraying, sprinkling.
Decorative Maples
The most popular maple Canadian, Platanovidny, Fungal maple with burgundy foliage. They are excellent solo in the open lawn, good in compositions and against the background of hedges.
Norway Maple or Platanovide burgundy
Like most plants with brightly colored leaves, decorative colored maples prefer a sunny place. In the shade, the natural color will be faded. Maple prefers fertile soil with neutral acidity. Young seedlings should be sheltered for the winter. The adult plant of a frost-resistant grade will not demand it any more.
Exotic for lovers
Magnolia
It can be formed as a bush, but it can grow a full-fledged tree with a picturesque crown. Flowering magnolia is an exotic sight, most varieties have a delicate, vanilla - citrus scent.. Magnolia is covered with large flowers (bud length up to 12-15 cm). The color scheme and the shape of the flower revealed in different varieties of magnolias is very different.
The capriciousness of magnolia is greatly exaggerated, for successful cultivation it is enough to follow a few rules. When planting magnolia special attention should be paid to the root system and the choice of landing site. It is necessary to buy a magnolia with a basal lump (in a plastic container), preferably in a nursery or garden center. When planting try not to injure the roots of the seedling. Magnolia loves the bright sun, does not tolerate drafts and winds. The optimum landing place is under the southern wall of the house, any household building. He does not like calcareous soils, therefore such lands must be acidified with peat. Caring for an adult plant is not needed, only minimal sanitary pruning. For growing in gardens of the middle band, deciduous forms of magnolia and corresponding hybrids are recommended.
Young saplings, even frost-resistant varieties, should be covered for the winter (mulch the roots and close the crown with agrofibre).
Sakura
A Japanese relative of a familiar cherry, famous throughout the world for its magical flowering. The growing conditions for sakura and magnolia are identical. Sunny place without drafts; neutral or slightly acidic soil. Like ordinary cherries, sakura will require seasonal spraying of pests, abundant watering, substantial pruning.
Sakura is not necessary to buy, it reproduces perfectly by cutting. This is much cheaper than buying a sapling. In August, the graft is grafted onto a traditional cherry (or sweet cherry), by budding (eye, bud).
Decorative fruit tree shapes
The habitual apple tree has a lot of ornamental subspecies that bloom more abundantly than simple apple trees. The blooming scarlet flowers, Ola's apple tree is simply flooded with flowers so that no branches are visible.
Ola Apple
Ornamental varieties are grown in the usual agricultural techniques, familiar gardeners to care for traditional apple varieties. Fruits - small (heavenly) apples decorate the garden until late autumn. Yellow, red, purple - look great on the branches.

Good all the time of day!
Now almost everyone has their own summer cottage. Someone grows vegetables and berries on it, someone is engaged exclusively in floriculture.
But all, one way or another, give their site an aesthetic appearance, planting ornamental shrubs on it.
Now in many magazines, and the Internet tells how to do it right.
Scientifically it is called landscape design. Our task today is of course somewhat different, we will not touch on this topic much, although we will touch on this aspect a little. And we will consider what kind of shrubs exist at all, and what they are.
I think this information will help you decide what to plant and what is not in your free zone. And for starters, I would like to give some tips on choosing these plants.
- When choosing pay attention to the region in which you can grow a particular type. What climatic conditions are suitable for it?
- Be sure to pay attention to the fact that you get sun-sapling seedlings, or shade-resistant. According to this and land. For example, the latter are often planted in the shadow of the first. Or they prepare special places for them in accordance with the distribution of light during the day.
- More important is the size of the plant. So, if the plot is small, then plant a very sprawling, lush, requiring a large amount of free space on the plants, in such areas is not worth it.
- If you are planning to make a hedge, then low-growth representatives of this species are perfect for her.
- Recently, many stores sell many beautiful arches. For their design should choose climbing plants.
Perennial summer flowering shrubs for the summer cottage
Many people try to plant such types of plants on their plots. As a rule, they are quite unpretentious and therefore do not require constant care. And if at the same time they also bloom all summer, or most of it, then such a plant will be just perfect.
Of course, not all of them bloom the whole season, but having them competently with those that bloom most of the warm season, you can achieve such an effect that the whole summer season will be beautiful in the garden.
Let's consider the most successful options for planting in the garden. And let's begin, perhaps, with the most beloved and frequently used.
Lilac
This magnificent plant is planted almost everywhere. The peak of its bloom is in May and a little in early June. Its pleasant spring smell will delight anyone, and a sprig of lilac, put in a vase at home, always gives an element of spring mood.

Features of planting on the site
Planting shrubs in the country provides for their placement according to a certain planning. But the main thing is the compatibility of plants.
That is, next to it is better to plant such plants that get along well with each other. The compatibility of some garden representatives is shown in the table below.
Green and white are compatible; red is incompatible.
Placement of shrubs, beds and other things on the site is now called landscape design. Although people have always engaged in this kind of action.
Buying a plot, we first begin to plan what and where will be built and planted.
Even just planted in a certain order, fruit plants and vegetables, already give your site a very attractive appearance.
And the placement of the tracks, recreation areas in the form of a gazebo, pool or mini pond, will give the site a more residential look.
When planting shrubs are used in two ways: geometric and landscape.
When using a geometric or regular method, plants are placed in the form of symmetrical shapes, such as squares, or rectangles.
Also made the alleys, between which are the tracks. Chess stays are very well suited.
Landscape style is also called natural. In this embodiment, the plants are planted as they grow in nature, i.e. somewhat randomly, without a definite distinct plan.
This style is ideal for those areas that are not exactly flat in terms of relief.
The main thing is to draw a plan of the site, which indicates what will be planted and where. You can certainly do without a plan, but then you can just get confused.
When planning the site, at the beginning decide - you have only a garden, or you want to take at least part of the territory under a recreation area.
Then, in such a territory, you need to place either all or part of the listed elements: a gazebo, or another recreation area, a pond, a pool, a barbecue area, or a barbecue, and maybe a summer kitchen.
One of the concerns of any land owner is the fence, namely what it should be. Some are blocked by various building materials, others choose a hedge.
This is also worth thinking about when dropping all of their green pets.
As you can see, there are a lot of options. Here you need more imagination and desire, and everything will turn out. And of course, landscape design is a whole science. This is a very interesting topic that requires knowledge, fantasy and desire to do it.
Video on how to form a landing at your summer cottage
And if this is interesting to you, then finally, a small video on the dacha landscape design.
Look, maybe you can draw some ideas for your garden. After all, all this is incredibly interesting and exciting!
And I finish this story today. It turned out not small, but I hope useful and interesting. After reading about the bushes and looking at their numerous photos, you can easily find plants that will please your view.
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.
The most beautiful garden shrubs
At the end of April, when there is still snow in some places in shaded places, a beautiful daphne blooms (Daphne mezereum). Her inflorescences look like lilacs, a bush about a meter high is generously covered with delicate rose-purple flowers. At the end of flowering, gently green oblong leaves appear, and closer to autumn bright red or orange berries appear. But you can not try them, they are poisonous enough, no wonder the people call this plant wolfberry.
Daphne likes abundant watering and prefers partial shade, feels good in the shade of a rather thin tree crown.
Forsythia
Golden rain, or forsythia begins to bloom in early spring and flaunts sunny yellow buds for three weeks, sometimes longer. In autumn, the leaves turn golden or purple-bloody, which looks very elegant and festive.
Solar glades, protected from gusts of wind, will be for him the best place to grow.
A small bush, 100-150 cm tall, one of the first opens the flowering season. The shape of the crown is spherical in shape, the branches are densely covered with oblong leaves. The wonderful aroma of pink flowers can not leave anyone indifferent. Its fruits are oval and covered with a soft down. After leaf fall, fluffy balls flaunt on the branches. Can be propagated by seeds.
Almond is quite undemanding in care, loves the sun and is well tolerated by a lack of moisture. Abundant and frequent watering can destroy bauber.
This culture is popular with gardeners from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, for its unsightly temper and a good stable crop with a fairly compact size. Blooms pale pink flowers, quite abundant. Received its name for the leaves and shoots, covered with a light down like felt.
Loves a rich organic soil and open well-lit spaces.
Perhaps the most elegant representative of ornamental shrubs. Immediately after gardening, it produces purple buds that turn into large bright flowers. The fruits are golden, similar to small apples and contain many vitamins.
The Japanese quince is unpretentious to the composition of the soil, it lives well in the shade of the trees, ideally suited as a living non-trimmed hedge.
Mahonia
Evergreen mahonia is popular as a hedge, capable of sprawling independently from root shoots. This specimen blooms at the very end of spring and pleases with sunny inflorescences until mid-June. The rest of the year admires clusters of blueberry-colored berries and bright bronze foliage.
The mahonia which does not require much attention grows successfully in sunny glades, under the crown of a tree and in thick shadow. Does not tolerate stagnant water, this can lead to rotting of the roots.
Lilac
Lilac won the hearts of gardeners for beautiful paniculate inflorescences with small fragrant flowers. Varietal lilac has several color options. This shrub needs regular pruning, which helps to maintain the desired shape of the plant and provides more abundant flowering. It looks good combination of several different varieties.

It blooms from May to July, with white flowers with a honey smell. By autumn, the fruits are poured with red juice and remain on the bush all winter, being food for birds.
Spirea
There are many varieties of spirea, which have significant differences. What they have in common is that they all grow very actively. Therefore, in the third or fourth year of planting should be cut bush, leaving 20-30 centimeters.
Flowers can be of different colors, from white hemispherical inflorescences, to pink and red.
Plant spiraeus alone, only with a few bushes. According to the laws of landscape design, it must dominate the other components of the group.
Chubushnik
Chubushnik is very similar to jasmine, but is a representative of another family. The abundance of white flowers on the branches and unobtrusive aroma, make it an indispensable decoration on the plot. Very undemanding to the landing site, but on the sunny side on nutritious and loose soils will bloom longer and longer.
Deytion
The shrub has a long flowering and a large color palette. Flowers are pink, white, purple and purple, they do not smell.
With a lack of light and poor soils, they get sick. The choice of ornamental shrubs is unlimited, but they all need regular neat cutting, otherwise the site will look untidy and untidy.
