Weaving flowers for the garden: photos and names

At all times, weaving flowers for the garden were popular with the owners of manors and estates. Rich masters from different parts of Europe and the world brought plants to create their own luxurious greenhouses, decorate summer residences. Time passed, but the love for curly and wobbling cultures remained. Gardeners-professionals and amateurs continue to use their help to diversify their site, make a unique composition, etc.

To imagine a garden, even the most modest, without the weaving street flowers is almost impossible. Green gazebos and pergolas, vertical landscaping of walls and fences - all this adds coziness and originality, besides it helps to hide some shortcomings of terrain and buildings, zoning space.

Annual and perennial climbing plants

All the weaving plants that are used in garden design can be conditionally divided into two large groups: annual and perennial. The classification is based on the period of their vegetation. Perennials can grow in one place for decades and every year to please you with their flowering with renewed vigor. Annuals have a limited period of vegetation and die, as a rule, with the onset of the first frost. However, they have one feature, for which they are so fond of gardeners - this is the most lush and abundant flowering. They, in comparison with perennials, are able to give the largest possible seasonal increase.

What are the picking flowers for the garden? And those and others. Due to the existing variety of planting material, you can, firstly, achieve the effect of continuous flowering, and secondly, use each species where it is most appropriate. Of course, do not forget about climatic conditions, moreover, when choosing colors, this factor should be guided first.

Let's start with annual weaving flowers for the garden - as the most simple and universal in use. We offer you a selection of the five most popular and spectacular plants.

Sweet pea

In our opinion, sweet peas are underestimated, since they are practically not in demand by landscape designers. And completely in vain, because the plant has its own unique charm. Without it, it is difficult to imagine such a popular style of Provence and the English garden. At the moment there are 10 groups of varieties and more than a thousand varieties. Powerful hybrids grow 1-2 months to 2 m in height, and from the middle of summer the bushes adorn large flowers - "moths" (characteristic of all beans) of a variety of bright colors, exuding a subtle flavor. There are also medium- and low-growing varieties. Such diversity allows creating a harmonious multilevel composition.

Sweet peas belongs to the group of the most commonly used for gazebo wisps of flowers. He is unpretentious, requires only regular watering and timely garter sling. He prefers shady places, where the sun gets in the afternoon. In the photo above - sweet peas in a landing with clematis.

Ipomoea

One of the most unpretentious climbing annuals is, of course, the morning glory. With her strong green embrace, she will embrace everything that gets in the way. This genus of flowering plants from the family of the cornflower includes more than a thousand species, but in ornamental horticulture several basic varieties are used that gave rise to numerous hybrids.

Ipomea prefers sunny, well-lit areas. In care is simple and undemanding. In arid summer it needs frequent watering.

Ipomea - weaving flowers (photo above), most often used for decorating fences and fences. At the same time, the type of support does not play a role at all: the neighboring tree, the wall of the house, etc. Ipomea creates a living carpet adorned with many large (up to 10 cm in diameter), fancifully curved funnel-shaped flowers. The range of shades varies from white to dark blue, burgundy and rich purple. Against the background of green foliage, a bright contrast is obtained.

Kobeia

Kobei can rightfully be called the queen of annual weaving flowers (photo above). It stands out among a wide variety of hybrids with large flowers in the form of wide bells reaching a diameter of 8 cm. A palette of hues: from white to saturated, deep purple. The plant is characterized by a high growth rate and the ability to rapidly build up a green mass, it can stretch for 4 m in a season. The shoots are very tenacious with sensitive tendrils, do not require an additional garter and can crawl on any surface independently. Flowering continues until the first frost. If desired, the roots of the morning glory can be excavated and stored until next spring in the room conditions. However, as a rule, gardeners prefer to use it as an annual.

In terms of using kobei universal. With its help you can hide the most unsightly buildings and walls, decorate pergolas and gazebos, the walls of the house. However, there is one nuance: the planted green mass seems easy only at first glance, therefore it is better if the support will have enough strength.

Dolihos, or hyacinth beans

Can there be something more vivid and exotic in the Russian gardens than the flowering dolichos? These magnificent weaving flowers are a novelty deserving close attention. Gardeners often call it a "curling lilac", which is associated with stunning large flower brushes formed on the plant in mid-summer. Closer to autumn in their place appear no less decorative glossy pods of a purple hue, which are also a kind of decoration.

Dolihos is a plant that is thermophilic. Under good weather conditions, it is capable of increasing up to 4 m in height over the summer. In this regard, professional designers prefer to use it for pergolas and arbors. The plant is not demanding to care. However, in the middle zone of Russia it is recommended to grow it through seedlings and plant it on a permanent place only after the warm weather is established without the threat of frost.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium in its homeland, in Central and South America, is perennial. However, in our climatic conditions, these are annual weaving flowers for the garden. The photo clearly demonstrates the magnificent warm golden scale of shades typical of nasturtium. The plant is unpretentious and even in the cool summer can grow up to 3 m in length. It prefers sunny and warm areas.

The shoots are strewn with flowers, harmoniously combined with rounded bright green leaves. Specialists recommend using it to decorate arbors, since nasturtium is a natural remedy for annoying insects.

However, the palm tree still belongs to perennial weaving flowers for the garden. Photo, title and short description of the most common crops you will find further.

Climbing roses

If the usual stems of roses are the queen of the garden, then the stitched ones are his princesses. They have long hanging shoots (2.5-9 m), for the normal development of which a strong support is simply necessary. Varieties can be remontant, i.e., flowering almost throughout the season, or ordinary - with a single flowering. Flowers simple or semi-double, collected in a large inflorescence, do not have a fragrance, are painted in a variety of shades of pink, red, white and yellow.

Climbing roses are the children of the sun, so it's best to plant them on the south and south-west side of the exposition. The warmth and abundance of light contributes to the maturation of growth, in which buds will appear next year. Roses are demanding for fertility and soil structure, they need care, so simply plant them and, as they say, forget, it will not work. Otherwise, you will not see the abundance and beauty of flowers. Woven roses occupy a central place in the vertical gardening of the garden. They are perfectly combined with small architectural forms, as well as indispensable for the creation of pergolas, arches, arbors, pyramids, columns, decoration of the walls of the building.

Clematis

Herbaceous liana clematis is one of the most popular garden plants. Delicate and charming, in beauty it is worthy of competition to many exotic species. The plant is rather fastidious and requires constant care. But in return it will thank you with a magnificent flowering. The spectacle is truly delicious, when up to five hundred large fragrant flowers up to 15 cm in diameter are scattered on the vine. Depending on the variety, the flowers can be terry or simple, and colors - red, purple, pink, white, yellow, blue.

Clematis possess good frost resistance, especially zoned varieties. This feature allows them to be used in the gardens of the Urals and Siberia with proper shelter for the winter. Use the plant to decorate the hedge, create a shadow in the yard, braiding arches and arbors, camouflage farm buildings.

Honeysuckle Brown

Not all perennial weaving flowers for the garden can boast such an original look as the honeysuckle of Brown. The highest decorativeness it reaches during the flowering period, but at other times the bush is beautiful due to the large dark green leaves densely located on shoots up to 2-3 m long.

The shrub in summer is entirely covered with dense greenery and beautiful flowers, reminiscent of fuchsia and possess a delicate pleasant aroma. The most common shade is red-orange. Flowers large (up to 5 cm in length), not collected in the inflorescence, so the bush looks even more elegant. The plant is unpretentious, patiently tolerates adverse environmental conditions.

Honeysuckle Brown prefers well-lit places, without drafts and strong winds. The shrub is sensitive to the dryness of the soil, therefore requires regular watering and mulching of protruding roots. He is not capable of self-pollination, therefore it is recommended to plant several specimens nearby.

Designers for the design of the landscape, these perennial wicker flowers, or rather, shrubs, are used in several directions: the creation of hedges, vertical gardening (pergolas, gazebos), trellis, individual planting with support.

Wisteria

Wisteria, or wisteria - is a long-term view of the winding garden plants belonging to the family Legumes. It is a very popular and beautifully blooming liana and is widely used in landscape design of regions and countries with mild climate. In Russia, it can be found on the Black Sea coast or in the Crimea. You can not pass by her spectacular inflorescences up to 50 cm long, which can be painted in pink, white, blue, purple.

Until recently, the middle lane of Russia this magnificence was inaccessible. Shrubs simply freeze in cold winters. However, the selection of plants, including hanging garden flowers, does not stand still. In the US state of Minnesota , a frost-resistant wisteria cultivar of macrocosmia called Blue Moon was introduced. The plant can withstand a decrease in air temperature to -40 ° C.

The main thing for a creeper is heat. Therefore, experts recommend planting it closer to buildings and walls. They will serve not only as a support, but also as additional sources of heat.

Kampsis

Kampsis is the champion in the rate of growth among all the other climbing perennials. Literally for a couple of seasons, with proper conditions, its shoots stretch out to a length of 3 m, braiding all the arbors and arches. It is resistant to unfavorable weather conditions, cold and at the same time has a modest but decent beauty, pleasing to the eye. Kampsis on your site will grow "on its own", not requiring special attention, except that periodic irrigation. For the winter, the root system is covered.

The plant has beautiful flowers of unusual shape, usually orange, odorless. Liana is sometimes called "aggressive" due to the fact that it gives an abundant root shoot, which develops like a leap. This feature can be used for good. It is enough to plant a campsite where nothing grows any more (the farthest corners of the garden, unsightly buildings, etc.).

What to choose?

Choosing weaving flowers (photos and names of the most popular are presented above) for your garden, first of all, compare the possibilities with the goals. If you want to get a lush green carpet decorated with flowers, in a short time, then resort to annual plants. They literally in front of a braid or a fence, at the same time hiding all the defects of the site. If you plan to equip a place to rest for a long period, then it makes sense to think about perennial curly flowers. They will grow longer, but the annual question of what to plant this time will disappear.

Bowing to the choice of this or that option, you need to take into account some of the nuances in advance. So, climbing plants, such as kampsis, do not require special support. They will perfectly clamber themselves on the walls of stone or brick.

Clinging garden plants, for example sweet peas, will be suitable for thin gratings or stretched wire, for which their thin antennae will cling.

For leaning lianas (wisteria, honeysuckle) it will be necessary to build trellises or arches, pergolas. They can not fix themselves on a vertical surface, but they very tightly and tightly twist it. Semilines, in particular climbing roses, require not only supports, but also additional fastening and garters.
