I specially added a separate "Garden-Trail" folder to the April Cuntu, because the spring trail is mixed with various surrounding plants, showing different postures with different growing seasons, and it is also a beautiful landscape.
In the spring, the side of the path is mainly corner, especially low input and high output.
In the winter, I bought seedlings and planted them, and they have been flowering, and at the beginning there were still some thin pulls, but since the warmer march, they have all been in pop-ups, and there are many residual flowers every day, and it is too late to pick them.
【Gardener's Reminder】
The key to the horn viola pop is sufficient light and ventilation, in addition to giving it enough room to grow, and the ground plant needs a certain spacing (15-20 cm) potted plant is to give it how many pots to pop flowers.
Isn't that a lot of change compared to when you first planted it?
Potting problems:
The horns are all cheap red clay pots, relatively thin, the root system is full, it is easy to lack water, and it needs to be watered every day. It must be poured through, and if there is water stored in the tray, let it suck through the water by itself, which is also a good way to save effort.
There are several pots of small rabbit horns that simply change to a large red clay pot with Margaret to make a group of pots, and it is not easy to lack water.
It would also look good to have them bloom and hang down.
Last year, I tried to buy a pansy as a rim, but sure enough, it still didn't work. Its flowers are large, and the residual flowers must be picked in time, otherwise they will cover the plant like a rag after they are lost, and they will be moldy when it rains. There were not many flowers blooming all winter, and when spring came, it bloomed too loosely and luxuriantly, and the delicacy and popcorns of the horns could not be compared.
The violas would run until mid-to-late May, when they were too bulky and messy to be pulled out by the gardeners.
Q: What happens if I don't want to unplug it and don't remove it all the time?
1, viola is a raw herb, like cold and afraid of heat, summer over, autumn re-sowing, a new round of reincarnation. Don't want to pull it out and raise it for a lifetime? It's not about raising a thousand-year-old goblin!
The seeds dropped by the hornwalls are self-sown, and every year there are many self-sown seedlings of the horns in the garden. Several small black rabbits were also found this year.
2, Secondly, after pulling out, leave room for other plants to grow. The viola (blue pig's ear) sprouts in May, settles in June, and blooms from July to mid-to-late November, just in turn.
If the horned viola has not been pulled, Xia Yan's seedlings will not have a chance to emerge. He also smothered out of the room.
Next to this corner, I also tried to grow some rabbit tail grass.
After planting once, rabbittail grass harvests a few pompoms in May each year, and sows seeds in the autumn, just like planting wheat, germinates very easily, and they must be single potted. There are too many sprouts, so some of them are simply planted, tucked next to the edges of the corner walls, and grown casually, which is also very cute.
For the arrangement of the edges, I don't like too uniform tones, which are easily reminiscent of public landscapes.
So I often mix other things in the one-colored plants.
For example, while the corner viola was the main edge, I mixed several caryophyllus plants in it.
The road is long, and the low grass flowers on both sides are too monotonous.
It will also be fun to mix some tall plants, not all of them low. This year I built some snapdragons.
Caryophyllus is a good thing, evergreen in all seasons, not afraid of cold or heat.
However, the caryophyllus is brightly colored, the form is stiff, can only be embellished, can not be planted more, more easy to "tacky".
The addition of silver leaf chrysanthemum will make the overall atmosphere immediately quiet.
The disadvantage is that it grows too fast, and the plant type is shortened in time, and if it is too big, it is dug up and replaced with seedlings.
The white crystal chrysanthemum inside is a self-sown seed every year.
Pebbles can emerge from crevices.
I also tried to mix with the Bush Fluke Exam, not knowing if the ground planting could survive the summer smoothly.
More of the perimeter plants on the trail are perennial, low-maintenance, and behave differently throughout the seasons. No need to change, maintenance is also relatively simple.
Like silver leaf wheat winter, the old leaves are cut out in winter, and the silver-white leaves emerge in the spring.
It also grows well in the shade under the osmanthus tree, and I also matched the color leaf tendon grass, the leaves grow creeping on the ground, very skinny, pedal-resistant, and the purple tower-like flowers bloom in the spring are also beautiful, which is very suitable for ground cover plants at the edges of the steps and the crevices of the edges.
I planted a thin snow evergreen grass on the pebble side, and when it grows too lush in April and May, I can cut it short and pull out the part.
It is also mixed with garden calamus, which is also perennial. Bloom small flowers.
It is particularly skinny and the seeds are self-sown.
The grass will be gone in another month, afraid of heat, but the march blooming to the present, really super beautiful.
Golden leaf oregano is also so evergreen in winter, the golden leaves are a large clump, very colorful, and it is enough to control its growth.
The clover, which is paired with the stone mill path, also needs to control growth.
Another role of the edge is to add a sense of space. For example, adding a fence has two spaces inside and outside. Coming in through the gate, on one side is the shady area of the moss lawn, and on the other side is the planting area that has passed along the hydrangea passage, so both sides have been fenced.
The edge of the lawn, the edge of the flower field, the edge of the path, etc., according to the needs of the space, arrange the plants.
I also don't make fences on both sides of the path, but at the junction of the large lawn and the two small lawns, it is completely clean, and the grass is the same height as the roadside, and the lawn is treated as a whole, and the road only passes through the middle of the lawn. The sense of space is great. To be open, to be transparent, the garden is sparse and dense, there are layers, there is a sense of rhythm.
The fun of raising flowers is that you can play all kinds of things, and you can play as much as you want.
If it doesn't look good, replace it, and you can have a new way of playing.
Or the garden is the gardener's painting, the brush is in your hand, feel free to create~
