5 plants that are ready for winter in the open air

When in the autumn time the temperature in the open air drops noticeably, gardeners often plant or search for soil in their homes to use it for plants that are grown on the street. Unfortunately, in many cases this is a waste of effort, time and seedling. Nevertheless, many unfading shrubs can live in the courtyard for several years. Taking advantage of this advantage, you can save time and additional costs for pots for cultivation.

Life in a street container is very different from life in the soil. This capacity is able to provide excellent drainage, but the viability also depends on how often you will water and fertilize the soil. Shrubs and large perennials may not survive in the vessel, although the adaptive qualities of the seedling itself, the outdoor temperature and the manufacturer of the container for transplantation play an important role.

You can find such "perennials", which from year to year can live in a container. Here are descriptions of the five best, most hardy and most magnificent.

1. Evergreen boxwood keeps its color throughout the year. This shrub grows slowly and, unlike other boxes, retains its dark green color even in winter. Its splendor lies in the fact that it grows in the form of an elegant "pyramid". This hardy centipede can grow to 150 cm. The boxwood should be protected from strong wind and partial shade. If possible, periodically turn the vessel to balance the plant's exposure to direct sunlight.

2. Coleman Verbain is very reliable in any vessel. Its 10-centimeter cascade is perfectly beaten out through the edge of the pot, and leaves in the shape of gold coins look very picturesque in any setting. He loves penumbra, as well as water to the point that he is ready to shoot in the water garden. This kind of process requires more sunlight.

3. Thuya West pleases the eye year-round, in the winter time retains its rich color. The shape and texture of foliage makes it easy to combine it with other plants. The container in the open air will perfectly contain thuju in full size up to 5 meters. Plant such a plant better in a sunny place or in a weak shade.

4. Geicher - an attractive, short "perennial", which partly provides the vital activity of weaker plants growing with him in one pot. Its lobate leaves are very effective, with "silver" streaks through the green with purple hues. Geichers are great for vessels, they like well-drained soil, and they are easily transplanted after winter. Most of these plants grow in diameter of 30-45 cm and start panicles with pink, red and white flowers. They can shoot in the sun and in the shade, depending on the variety.

5. Juniperus scaly Blue Star has two blue needles with a steel shade that are 2-10 cm thick. This color is the contrast in the winter. It reaches 90 cm in height, but it grows slowly. The pot well stretches, and its branches elegantly make their way over the edge. It prefers sunny terrain, but it can also occupy half-shade. Does not tolerate wet conditions.

And in conclusion, brief tips for improving the overwintering of plants in the open space:

• Select a pot with a drain hole at the bottom of fiberglass, lead, iron, heavy plastic or stone.
• Use for seedling quality soil.
• If you use water-soluble fertilizers, stop "feeding" your seedlings about six to eight weeks before the start of the first day of frost. This will avoid sprouting, which is not able to survive the winter.
• Do not water pots with frozen soil, otherwise the plants will not be able to absorb water.
• Despite the fact that some "overwinterings" are long-livers, try to transplant them every three years to avoid sudden wilting.
