The garden is especially beautiful during flowering, and in order for it to please you with its flowering during spring, all summer and autumn, you need to create one or several flower beds and choose plants and flowers that are unpretentious and blooming from May to September. The design of the flowerbed with perennial flowers will create a flower garden where plants will sprout, grow and bloom in one place. You do not have to sow seeds every year, plant seedlings, but of course you also need to take care of such a flower bed - adjust the growth of flowers, remove dried leaves and inflorescences, and make sure that weeds do not appear.
How to make a flower bed that will look luxurious in spring, summer and autumn, before the onset of cold weather? The design of a flower bed of perennial flowers is hampered by the fact that the flowering period of many of them is short, and flowers need to be selected so that plants that stop blooming can be closed by blooming. When choosing perennials for flower beds, one should take into account not only their height and color, but also the flowering time.

Bulbous, beginning to bloom in early spring and ending their bloom in early June, will make the garden bright and festive. The first blooms are bluebells, snowdrops, mouse hyacinths, crocuses, hyacinths, then they are gradually replaced by tulips, daffodils, hazel grouse, lilies. The layout of the flower beds from the early bulbous perennials can be made in several versions - closer to the edge to plant bluebells and muscari, then tulips of different colors.
If the flowerbed is round - in the center will look beautiful tulips framed by delicate fragrant muscari. Tulips and daffodils are well combined, planted both in groups and in the manner of a Moorish lawn. And lily, as a late-flowering bulbous plant, usually adjoins perfectly with summer flowers.

Many summer residents, planning to create a beautiful flowerbed, plant all the flowers they like at once. It is better to try to avoid this temptation, and choose several varieties that will bloom all summer, replacing each other. It is lilac, pelargonium, digitalis, catnip. Such wonderful flowers as the delphinium can bloom the second time, if at the end of the first flowering they are pruned and fertilized.
Among perennial plants, there are strongly growing ones that can eventually occupy the territory where neighboring flowers grow. These are bells, awl-shaped phloxes, violets, sour acid, euphorbia. These flowers are good in themselves, but their growth at will can be stopped using a border tape or remove excess shoots manually. From the "invaders" you can make a whole flower bed, for example, from bells, which belong to tall flowers, and undersized awl-shaped phloxes of several shades.
