Sometimes happens very difficult to choose long-term herbs for garden. Today on counters of shops it is possible to find large number of seeds of various grades. Not to be lost in this variety and to buy the "correct" plants for the garden, it is necessary to consider some moments.
Instruction
1. First of all, study origin of any given grass, conditions of its growth in the homeland. It is important as the plant chosen by you can die not only because of low temperatures. For example, pennisetum not only badly transfers frosts, but also does not take out dry, sandy substrates. Imperata demands well drained soil and can die from moisture surplus, the kortaderiya needs large number of the sun and fertile soil, etc.
2. Keep in mind that the majority of the blossoming herbs can be reconciled with partial blackout and well adapt to different types of soils, but they blossom on fertile substrates worse and form more foliage. Therefore if you want to achieve blossoming, for example, from sage, wormwood, rosemary, etc., land them on the sredneplodorodny, well trained substrates. And for the rest for this group of plants the same conditions, as for flowers are necessary.
3. Choose herbs which will correspond to design of garden. For example, the thyme, thyme, rosemary, garlic will become fine ornament for thematic garden (medicinal or spicy). Creating such landings, as borders you can put lavender, box, hyssop, rue. And here use mint with care, it is better to limit at once the place of its growth that it has not extended on all garden site. Being going to grow up long-term herbs together with flowers, trees and bushes, try that they harmoniously fitted into landscape in form, the sizes and color of leaves.
4. If you in garden are going to break lawn for games or rest, stop the choice on the herbs capable to create plain surface and, at the same time, to be resistant to trampling. Have the required properties, for example, meadow grass meadow, ryegrass long-term, fescue red. On lawns in the shadow of trees sesleriya, ovsets, different types of lightning, etc. will perfectly feel.
