Let's find out which flowers can be planted for the winter. First, very unpretentious daisies and primroses. However, for them, as well as for other autumn seedlings, it is important that the soil is not too wet. And it would be good to freeze the ground, otherwise seeds or saplings will germinate at the first thaws, and then, when the frost hits again, they will simply perish or be damaged. In general, if we talk about which flowers can be planted for the winter, most plants do not tolerate temperature changes below -30 very well. This must be taken into account when breaking garden beds. But we will continue the list. Secondly, chamomile, a variety of pansies are very good . After frosts, they are bold: they come up with warmth of the earth well, they blossom well. Thirdly, what other flowers can be planted for the winter, so these are phloxes and marigolds, petunia and majors. Not bad is growing and viola. True, it requires special warming in the cold, and the rooting is desirable so that it occurred even during the autumn light. Well, the "star" flowers are asters. They too are planted closer to the end of November or beginning of December. And on top you can hedge against freezing, covering it with grass. Another tip: when deciding which flowers can be planted for the winter, pay attention to the terrain. If there is a lot of snow in the winter, then during the melting or spring rains, the seeds can be washed off from the slopes along with the spring water. Therefore, try to break the flower beds on level ground. And one-year-old plants do not forget about another very beautiful and uncomplicated flower - calendula (marigold). Plus delphinium, snapdragon, cornflowers.
Tips for planting
Choosing which flowers to plant for the winter, it is necessary to take care of the preparation of the soil. We have already made some comments on this matter. It should also be noted that in order to find the landing sites, the landowner figured out whether there would be a shadow in the summer, preferably scattered, or the earth would be exposed to all the scorching rays of the sun. Of course, the latter can not be tolerated. And seeds, of course, pour into the ground more intensely - they will, alas, not all. And when the snow comes down, you need to cover the beds with a transparent film. Otherwise, your birds will necessarily sow crops! There were sprouts - everything, feathered predators are not terrible, "camouflage" shoot! But we will continue the story about how to arrange flowers. Landing for the winter requires that at the end of September the land should be dug up and get its share of fertilizers. Then grooves are made - beds. On the cold-frost they are filled with seeds, a mixture of compost, peat, sand and humus. And until spring! If the flowers have risen too much, they can be weeded out and planted. This refers to lupine, bells, gypsophila. The landing itself is best let be done in mid-October or somewhat later.
