What flowers are planted with seeds at the end of May? How to plant flowers by seeds in open ground. How to protect hyacinths from harmful factors

In May, you can and should plant flowers with seeds. Asters grow very well, but they are not recommended to be planted where potatoes or tomatoes grew: they can get sick.

Marigolds, nasturtium, cornflower, calendula, zinnia, bindweed, poppy, annual varieties of chrysanthemums, hibiscus, dahlia, and geranium grow well in May.

Don't worry about them freezing if the weather hasn't settled yet. The seeds need to spend 1-2 weeks germinating, during which time they will get used to the soil. It is recommended to water the flower plots twice a week so as not to overwater or dry out the plants.

Most annual flowers love sun, so choose one for planting open areas. The first buds will delight everyone in July!

Planting perennial flowers in May

In addition to flowers for one season, more “durable” options take root well in May. For example, biennials: daisy, forget-me-not, viola, bluebell, Turkish carnation, chamomile. By the way, they will have time to please you with single flowers this year too!

also in last month In the spring, it is recommended to plant some perennials: saxifrage, delphinium, phlox, lupine, perennial aster, aubrieta, Iberian, astilbe, large-rhizome geranium, armeria, primrose. If they are already growing in your flowerbeds, now is the best time to plant the young shoots.

By the way, unlike seasonal flowers, perennial flowers are not recommended to be planted with seeds: it is difficult for them to sprout in the ground. The best option- let them sprout at home, buy ready-made seedlings in the store or take them from neighbors. As a rule, perennials are planted by seedlings or rhizomes.

It is interesting that some perennial flowers obtained through selection retain their properties only for the first year. For example, if you bought lupins of yellow, pink or another uncharacteristic color, then in the first season they will play with different colors, and in the second they will return to their native blue.

What are “annual plants”, “conditionally annual”, “perennial as an annual”.

Choosing a place to plant annuals

When the first 2-4 leaves appear on the seedlings, it must be pruned. Be sure to harden off annual seedlings before transplanting them “outside.” Transplanting seedlings into open ground usually begins in early May (depending on the region of your residence, the timing may shift in one direction or another). At the beginning of May, plants that are at least relatively resistant to frost are usually planted - for example, sweet peas or lobelia.

Despite the fact that everyone treats annuals differently, when spring comes, almost everyone plants them, and therefore they head to the stores for annual flower seeds, each time hoping that this year the plot will sparkle with bright colors.

Flowers planted before winter will differ good growth, resistance to diseases and weather conditions. Also, by sowing seeds before winter, you free up time in the spring. And that’s when he’s missing. I haven't seen your list, I'll give you mine. If you have other plants, please share with us. Annuals: marigolds; cornflower; mignonette; cosmos; nasturtium; amaranth; delphinium; matthiola. Poppy, summer adonis, sea alyssum, Chinese aster, Chinese carnation, godetia grandiflora. Iberis bitters and umbelliferae, calendula officinalis, clarkia marigold, lavatera three months. Lobularia marine, snapdragon, malcolmia maritima, matthiola bicornuum, fragrant mignonette, Drummond phlox, chrysanthemum.

Most often, hyacinths are affected by bacterial rot, due to which the bulbs eventually turn into mucus with unpleasant smell. Unfortunately, it is pointless to fight this problem. Therefore, they should simply be dug up and burned, and the hole where the plants were planted should be etched with bleach or a 5% formaldehyde solution.

By the way, landscape design on a slope with hyacinths it will look very interesting, especially if you combine flowers with other plants and decorative elements.

How to plant annuals - methods

Annual plants with a fast life cycle are planted directly in open ground. The same applies to those plants that either do not tolerate transplantation well or do not tolerate it at all.

Many people succeed in this, many spend the whole summer caring for them and curse themselves for getting involved, and the gardener’s experience here is far from the main indicator of success - after all, they also play a big role weather developed over the season and of course the quality of the seeds, which, unfortunately, in Russia, frankly speaking, is unimportant, since honesty and decency are not held in high esteem by many seed producers.

Biennials: daisy; forget-me-not; Turkish cloves; Viola.

Unfortunately, on this place Hyacinths can only be planted after a few years.

It is important to prepare the soil for hyacinths in advance, and it is advisable to begin work several months before planting.

Planting dates and flowering times of annual flowers - table

15	IV	IV	Planting of annual seeds in open ground begins at the end of April, but if the annual plant is poorly frost-resistant (for example, bean liana or nasturtium), then wait until the first weeks of May, and sometimes even the middle of May.	So the situation is when in the picture there is a plant with flowers the size of a good apple, in practice it throws out flowers that are hardly more matchbox quite often, and the reason for this is the notorious Photoshop and the opinion - if only they bought it. The seed producer simply enlarges the picture of the flower, and at the same time embellishes it, and we, having not received the result for which we bought the seeds, then curse ourselves and give anti-advertising of the variety and type of plant to our neighbors in our summer cottage.	Perennials: bellflower; primrose; carnation; aster; lumbago; aquilegia. Lavender, aconite, alpine arabis, buzulnik, gaillardia, heuchera, gypsophila, delphinium, dicentra. Lupine, oriental poppy, small petals, spurge, poppy, rudbeckia.
Seeds of cold-resistant annual and biennial plants can be sown immediately in open ground - first on a seedling bed, and then, when the seedlings grow up, transplant them to permanent place.
To do this, choose a place where humus, sand, peat, 50 grams of superphosphate and potassium sulfate, 10 grams of magnesium are added. If the soil on your site is sandy, the amount of magnesium fertilizers needs to be increased by 1.5-2 times. Many, by the way, are concerned about the question of whether it is possible to plant hyacinths in the spring, since traditionally they are planted in open ground in the fall, so that they begin to grow in March-April.	sun, partial shade	sun
25	There are actually only two ways - either in a bunch or in a row.	Therefore, purchasing seeds only from reliable manufacturing companies is a matter of paramount importance.	Look through flower shop catalogs.	This is how they are mainly grown blooming in spring biennials: daisies, lacfiol, forget-me-nots, etc.	However, if you plant plant bulbs in transparent containers for the winter, you can carry out the work in the spring, as long as severe frosts have passed.
Sweet pea	Marigolds (calendula)	sun	sun
With the first method, plant annuals in groups located at the same distance. The whole difference is in the cycle of life. Relatively speaking, annuals, living up to their name, sprout and grow after planting, and during the growing season they bloom, after which they form seeds.	You can sow them, but how can you find them among the weeds in the spring? Maybe sow in containers and leave the containers outside until spring?	You can also grow cold-resistant annuals, although most often the seedlings of these flowers are grown under glass and planted in open ground in April - May.	To prevent rain from washing away the prepared soil, the soil must be covered before planting using leaves or thin plywood sheets. At the same time
Gypsophila	Lobelia	sun	sun, partial shade	For the second time (in a row), sow the seeds, pressing them into prepared, loose soil or into holes made with a flat cutter. It is best to sow annuals such as nasturtium, shower peas, and decorative beans nearby.	As for conditionally annual flowers and plants or perennials grown as annuals, the condition for dividing them into these two groups is the climate of Russia - in the places of their original growth, in their homeland, these plants are perennials, but in our conditions they will simply freeze in winter and will have to replant again, although its main role is to please us beautiful flowers they perform successfully.
This year I want to try planting flower seeds before winter for the first time. To do this, I dug three five-liter plastic buckets into the ground in the flower beds. The buckets have already prepared soil for planting seeds. For now I covered the buckets with cellophane film. When it’s really cold, I’ll sow the seeds, sprinkle the top with pre-prepared soil (now stored in the house so it doesn’t freeze), then cover it with snow. I use buckets because my area is very small. Perhaps in the spring I will remove them from the ground, move them to another place, and sow something else in this place. I want to ask you: is it possible to do as I plan? And also, if you know, tell me, is it possible to sow Cortaderia before winter? Thank you.	Some cold-resistant annuals do not like transplanting; it is better to sow the seeds of such plants immediately in open ground. If their seedlings were grown under glass, then they need to be planted one at a time into separate pots or tray cells and, after growing, carefully planted in a permanent place in the garden.	Flower bulbs should be healthy and of medium size - this will make the flowers more resilient and susceptible to bad weather conditions.
20	Zinnia graceful	Marigold thin-leaved	Note:	The main problem when growing annuals on a plot, cottage or in a flower garden, depending on the purpose of cultivation, is their annual planting or, more correctly, replanting if you like the plant. In this case, there are only two ways - buying and sowing seeds annual crops or purchasing and planting flowering or non-flowering seedlings.	It's no secret that hyacinth is the type of flower that blooms among the first, filling the space around bright color and quite fragrant aroma. Their color range is quite diverse. The plant is considered universal, adapting well to open ground. Planting hyacinth flowers in the ground and caring for them, we will consider the basic rules for planting in this article.
Seeds of cold-resistant biennials are sown in the ground in late spring - early summer. Cold-hardy annuals are usually sown in the spring, when the soil is dry enough to make a bed and warm enough for the seeds to germinate quickly.	. Plant bulbs are planted to a depth of about 15 cm; if hyacinths are planted in a row in the spring, there should be a distance of 20 cm between them. Bulbs smaller than 5 cm in diameter are planted denser.
20-40
1S-25	Seeds of annuals that you grow constantly are best prepared and collected in warm sunny days when they are completely dry. Annual seeds must be stored in a cool, dry place for 2 to 4 years.	In addition to this, it is also necessary to prepare a place for planting and growing them.	The place for them should have good lighting and protection from strong gusts of wind. Some gardeners advise planting them near trees. But if there is enough sun there, then powerful roots will absorb more water from the ground and useful elements, thus causing damage to the flowers.	The seeds of some cold-resistant annuals (larkspur, cornflower, calendula, iberis and cachima) can be sown in the fall. When sown in open ground in autumn, these plants bloom earlier than when sown in spring.	We fill each hole river sand layer about 3 cm, after which we lay the bulbs and sprinkle with soil. Sand in this case will act as protection against waterlogging and infections. In the event that hyacinths are planted in the spring in large quantities, then it is best to make high beds, because then caring for the plant will become much more convenient and faster. If a cold snap is planned, be sure to cover the plants with sawdust or peat.

It is always better to test your own seeds (as well as purchased ones) for germination. To do this, take 15-30 seeds, place them in a flat dish, cover and place in a warm place. Depending on the number of sprouts, the percentage of germination is calculated; a percentage of 60 can be considered an acceptable germination figure.	Yes general condition proper cultivation annuals is the fact that they do not tolerate any soaking of the soil in the area that you have allocated for them, or the absence garden drainage in this place, as well as shadows in this place.	Therefore, the area should be unshaded and level. It would be great if it had a slight slope so that water would not stagnate. If groundwater passes half a meter from ground level, then drainage must be installed.	Use a pitchfork to dig up a plot of land that is well heated by the sun and away from trees. Add peat (but not fertilizer), level and press it down, and lightly loosen the soil surface with a rake. If possible, arrange the beds in a new location every year. For growing flower seedlings Areas that were previously planted with vegetable crops are excellent.	Feeding is as important a procedure as planting hyacinths in the spring, because plant bulbs require a lot of nutrients to normal development. First of all, this mineral fertilizers, which are introduced as soon as the snow melts. The best and most effective include potassium chloride and ammonium nitrate.	sun
sun					What do F1 and F2 mean on seed packages
The soil fertility in this area is also important condition, therefore, applying complex fertilizers will significantly simplify your task of decorating your dacha or plot with annual flowers. True, there are plants that are less demanding on soil fertility - such an example would be garden cornflowers, which grow equally well on humus-rich soil or on extremely clayey soil.	The soil composition must allow water to pass through well, be fertilized, and contain a high percentage of humus. If the area is clayey, you can add sand and peat. Hyacinth does not respond well to soil acidity.	The grooves should be located at a distance of 15-30 cm from each other. Their depth should be sufficient so that the seeds can be covered with a layer of soil twice the diameter of the seed. Never water the garden bed immediately after sowing - dry soil should be watered before you sow the seeds into it.	After the buds appear, a second feeding is carried out using mineral nutrients. The third time only potassium chloride is added. At the same time, each time you add nutrients, you must loosen the soil, this way you will give the flower’s bark system the air it needs. Important Tips care:	Ipomoea, field mixture	Garden nasturtium
sun	sun			These seeds cannot be further propagated at home. The whole point is that they do not produce seeds, or they produce seeds that do not convey the qualities and properties of the parent. My repeated attempts to prepare and grow banal tomatoes from F1 varieties have never led to success - the most I managed to achieve was very average yields, which, of course, cannot be compared with the parent varieties either in weight or taste.	Annuals have played and continue to play one of the leading roles in garden design.
Place for future landing should be prepared in August, a couple of months before planting. This is so that soil sediment does not cause the root system of the flower bulb to break off. It is necessary to dig up the soil about forty centimeters, adding humus or manure (up to 15 kg per 1 square meter), peat and mineral-containing fertilizer compounds.	Seeds need to be sown sparingly. Do not pour the seeds directly from the bag. Place some of the seeds in your palm and release them in a thin stream between the large and index fingers. Try to leave a gap of 0.5 cm between the seeds. After sowing, carefully fill the furrow with soil and press it down with the back of a rake or with your hand.	It is important to loosen the soil with a rake and remove the first weeds that appear, which can destroy the hyacinths;			Godetia

Planting hyacinths in spring - rules for planting in open ground!

Preparing the site and soil for planting

Sowing dates

For borders (both creating flowers and flowers and “planting” ready-made ones, for example these ones made of wood), it is customary to use marigolds and lobelia. The good thing about nasturtium is that it can be used to surround even ordinary vegetable beds in any garden (customary among the Germans).

Planting hyacinths in spring - planting rules

If there are a lot of bulbs, they can be planted in rows, making the height of the bed about twenty centimeters to protect the bulbs from melt water. In spring, the earth will warm up and hyacinths will begin to grow. Biennial seedlings are dug up in the fall and transplanted to a permanent place.Improper care can lead to negative consequences. For example, a lack of sunlight and excessive watering leads to yellowing of the leaves and their elongation. If water gets on the buds, they may simply not open.

How to protect hyacinths from harmful factors?

Distance between plants The main thing that you need to take into account is this measure - try to make sure that the area blooms evenly all year - some have faded, others have begun to bloom.Not everything is simple here, because the flower needs close care. The soil around it should be free of weeds and constantly loosened. Watering must be done in such a way as to wet the soil fifteen centimeters deep. Seedlings of annuals sown in spring are transplanted to a permanent place in May, when the soil warms up.There may also be problems with the lack of buds. This can be caused by several reasons:sun, partial shade

sun

Turns out, There are even more such plants than traditional seedling crops.

Among them are everyone's favorite fragrant lobularia (alissum), iberis, mignonette, amberboa musk , as well as those who do not tolerate transplantation well gypsophila, matthiola, poppy, eschscholzia, clarkia, sweet pea, argemona, crepis, cosmos, cornflower, lupine, nasturtium, morning glory and etc.

When to plant annual flowers in the ground with seeds

The exact timing of sowing annual seeds in open ground depends on the local climate, weather and the length of the growing season of the plants. . The most cold-resistant crops with a long growing season are sown as soon as the soil warms up (approximately in mid-April), or before winter, when the ground freezes.

These include: summer adonis, agrostemma graceful and agrostemma vulgaris (cockle), annual amellus, blue asperula, blue cornflower, bindweed (convolvulus), gaillardia grandiflora, Chinese carnation, gilia tricolor, gilia capitata, gilia yarrow, graceful gypsophila, grandiflora godetia, annual hibiscus, dimorphotheca rainbiscus, dimorphotheca notmata, calendula officinalis, clarkia marigold (graceful), clarkia pretty (beautiful), kufeya, quinoa, leguzia, lobularia marine (alissum marine, or alyssum), left grey, leia graceful, leptosiphon, toadflax, poppy annual, Malcomia maritima, Nigella sativum, Nigella damascus, Nigella eastern, Nigella Spanish, Nikandra physalis, mallow, milk thistle, ecchyum (Echium), skerda (crepis), Californian eschscholzia, phacelia, felicia, schisanthus, annual chrysanthemum, etc.

Which annual flowers to sow with seeds in May

In the first half of May they sow in open ground : Chinese aster, arctotis, cape anhusa, ferulifolia string (bidens ferulifolia), Ajax delphinium, field delphinium, sweet pea, Iberis bitter, Iberis umbelliferous, coreopsis tincica, cosmos doubly dissected, cosmos sulfur-yellow, cochia coronata, lavatera three months private ( hatmu), linanthus grandiflora, flax grandiflora, malopa, matthiola bicornuum, mignonette fragrant, rudbeckia enveloping, rudbeckia pilosa, gum (viscaria) sticky, Tithonia rotundifolia, tolpis bearded, Drummond's phlox.

Warm-loving crops with a short growing season can be sown from about mid-May to early autumn.

These include: pink acroclinum (helipterum), amaranths, blue anagalis, golden bartonia (mentzelia), marigolds, hamolepis marigold, annual dahlias, ornamental sunflowers, lush venidium, xeranthemum or dried flower, nemesia, nemophila, mesembryanthemum, smooth molucella, limnanthes, salpiglossis, stash, ursinia, large nasturtium, decorative bean, graceful zinnia, emilia, etc.

We sow annual flowers with seeds in the ground in summer

To extend flowering in the garden until autumn, in June-July you can sow crops with a short growing season. Then they will bloom in August.

Biennial seeds are usually sown in summer. For example, pansies(viola), hesperis (night violet), Turkish carnation, bluebells, lacfiol (heiranthus), lunaria (moonweed), mallow, daisies, foxgloves, forget-me-nots, etc.

If it is possible to arrange a simple shelter from a film or non-woven covering material, all these flowers can be sown even earlier.

They are sown either directly into the soil of the greenhouse, or into picking boxes that are placed in the greenhouse. When sowing directly in a greenhouse, the soil is leveled, the seeds are scattered as evenly as possible and covered with a layer of soil equal to twice the thickness of the seed. Seeded greenhouses are covered with shaded frames. In warm, calm weather, greenhouses are ventilated by briefly raising the frames. When shoots appear, the shading is removed. Protect seedlings from direct sun rays only needed during hot afternoon hours.

You can sow flowers in balcony boxes, which can be easily protected from the cold if necessary, as early as early April .

Preparing the soil for growing annual flowers from seeds

The bed must be in a warm place, sheltered from the wind if possible.

The soil for the flower garden is prepared in the fall, or at least 2-3 weeks before sowing the flowers. It should be fertile (fertilized), loose, with a neutral reaction (pH = 7).

First, the area needs to be dug up to a depth of 30-40 cm and all weeds removed.

To cultivate the land, baking powder and fertilizers are added to it. Add to sandy or sandy loam soil peat, compost and loam; into clayey - peat, compost, humus, sand or bone meal. It is recommended to apply compost and manure in late autumn, and humus in spring. If there is no organic matter, you can use mineral fertilizers(in autumn - phosphorus-potassium, in spring - nitrogen).

How to sow annual flowers with seeds

In open ground, seeds of annual flowers are sown in previously prepared soil when the threat of frost has passed.

For small seeds shallow grooves are made in the soil, and nests for larger ones.

The depth of seed placement directly depends on their size and physical properties soil.

If it is light, then small seeds can be sown to a depth of 0.5 cm, medium ones - 1.5 cm, large ones - up to 3 cm.

And if it is heavy (loam) or damp (lowland), the seed placement depth should be less.

It is advisable to mix very small seeds with sand before sowing, then they will be distributed more evenly.

In summer, seeds are planted deeper than in spring, since in the heat the soil warms up greatly and water from the top layer quickly evaporates.

After sowing the seeds, the crops are watered evenly.

To obtain friendly shoots of annual flowers in open ground , the dug up and harrowed bed should be rolled with a round log or a bottle of water, or carefully pressed down on top with a plank, then sow the seeds on a leveled surface, sprinkle sand or humus on top and roll again.

After this procedure, the seeds will be in close contact with the ground, germinate well and take root.

It is not advisable to sow on a windy day, since the seeds of annual flowers will scatter in different directions.

Covering the plantings with plastic film or non-woven material will help speed up germination.

Summer seeds, which can be sown in open ground, are advisable sowing in flower beds to spring bulbous perennials (crocuses, snowdrops, tulips) so that after the end of their growing season the bed is not overgrown with weeds, but turns into a bright carpet. These plants are easy to form magnificent flower carpets, flower beds and ridges.

Caring for annual flower crops

The emerging shoots are thinned out several times. First time - in the phase of the second true leaf(leaving 5-7 cm between plants), the second - in the 5-6th leaf phase(this time leave 10 cm between small flowers, 30-40 cm between large ones).

When sown directly in open ground, plants grow hardier than those grown from seedlings.

In addition, sowing crops of summer crops is much less labor-intensive than seedlings.

Besides, seeds are much cheaper than ready-made seedlings. So don’t waste time, select an assortment of annual flowers that are suitable for sowing in open ground, sow and enjoy their long and abundant flowering.

Plant them in the country so that they are beautiful, have a pleasant smell, but do not require daily and troublesome care? We offer several examples of unpretentious flowers that can be sown as early as May.

Petunia - bright inflorescences that delight the eye all summer

Petunia is the leader of our hit parade of balcony and garden flowers. There are several reasons for this:

variety of colors - white and black, blue and red, purple and pink, purple and yellow inflorescences with many shades and combinations;
large and expressive flowers, regular and double inflorescences;
nice smell;
ease of growing and caring for flowers;
long flowering period;
Possibility of growing both on site and in pots.

“Colored laces” are large flowers of different colors with a wavy white corolla;
“Avalanche”: “Red”, “White”, “Pink”, “Purple Star”, “Blue Star” - an avalanche of hanging flowers in bright and pastel shades;
"Aphrodite": "Salmon", "Pink" - these are magnificent flowers with wavy and fringed edges;
"Mistral Perli" - flowers with the most delicate two-tone color;
“Bordeaux” - flowers of bright burgundy color with fringed edges and others.

Cascade and ampel varieties of petunias, the flowers of which beautifully hang from pots, serve as a wonderful decoration for verandas and balconies.

Petunia can be planted as seedlings. But, if at the end of May, if the weather is favorable, you plant the seeds immediately in open ground, they will quickly sprout and catch up with the planted seedlings. By the end of June you will be able to admire these wonderful flowers.

Soil preparation
We dig up the bed to the depth of a spade bayonet and add humus. We level the surface of the bed, make shallow holes,
We moisten the soil in them with a spray bottle. Mix small petunia seeds with dry sand in a ratio of 1:5 and evenly
sow, then press down lightly. We do not sprinkle too much soil - the seeds need light to germinate.

You can cover the holes with seeds with film, but leave space for free access of air. Water only when necessary and carefully, preferably with a spray bottle, so as not to wash out the seeds. If the sprouts sprout thickly, remove the excess seedlings by cutting them with scissors. There is no need to pull them out - you can damage the roots of other plants.

It is necessary to regularly fertilize the flowers. Great options There will be mineral Arvi Fertis NPK 12-8-16+ME for flowers. With it, petunia quickly gains growth, resistance to diseases increases, the abundance and duration of flowering increases, buds and leaves acquire a more saturated color.

Initially, fertilizer is applied to the soil during its preparation, then the soil is sprinkled with fertilizers during growth - 20-40 g/m?. After several leaves appear on the stem, we water it once a week - add 5-10 g of fertilizer to a bucket of water.

Marigolds - plush children of the sun

If you want even more light and warmth in your area, plant marigolds. They can be planted in a narrow flowerbed along the path or in
container hanging from the wall. Or you can make an island in a flowerbed or borders from these flowers. erect Cerny Antigua F1 (orange or yellow), “Elіtsortnasinnya” Albatross (large creamy-white inflorescences), Legutko Fantastic (bends towards the center of the basket orange flowers) are funny flower balls. They are not picky about the soil and can withstand weather surprises.

Rejected marigolds are unpretentious to grow - red-brown with a yellow border of the Fiesta variety, orange-red
“Honeycomb”, anemone-shaped bicolor “Orange Flame”. French marigolds (Legutko Baby Marietta) have small inflorescences of yellow, orange, red and brown shades with a velvety surface. Marigolds smell like tarragon and bloom profusely.

In early May, you can plant marigold seeds in open ground. After 30-40 days you will admire the flowering of rejected marigolds, after 40-50 days - thin-leaved varieties of marigolds, after 50-70 days - erect marigolds. It should be noted that these flowers tolerate transplantation without pain even during flowering.

Morning glory - a carpet of bells

It can serve as both decoration of the site and protection from the scorching rays of the sun. Therefore it is advisable
planted near the gazebo, sunny terrace, as a screen in places where family members relax or children play. The climbing plant reaches three meters in height, the flowers are funnel-shaped in various colors: dark purple, pink, blue, etc.

To plant morning glory you need:

Buy seeds of the varieties you like, for example, “Blue Star” Agropak - the flowers are large, up to 12 cm in diameter
funnel-shaped, bloom one after another.. Variety “Harlequin” Seeds of Ukraine are large, funnel-shaped flowers, white with stripes different colors, open only during the day, in cloudy weather and at night they close.
In May, if the weather is favorable, soak the seeds in warm water for 12 hours. Plant 2-3 seeds per hole in the ground. The distance between the holes is 25-30 cm.
In one and a half to two weeks, shoots will appear. Best temperature for their germination +18°C.

Other flowers that can be planted in May

In early May, you can plant annuals. Garden variety “Shabo mixture”, which has flowers up to 7 cm in diameter, of various colors, terry cirrus “Mixture” - which has fringed flowers about three centimeters in diameter. The giant terry carnation variety "Shabo" is a heat-loving perennial, but is usually grown as an annual. Plant height 45cm, bush diameter 25cm. The plants are unpretentious, will grow equally well in the sun and in the shade, and tolerate lack of moisture and temperature changes. Carnation grows well in flower beds and rocky hills; it can be planted as a border or edging.

Hem Zaden Sunshine - beautiful plant with yellow, orange and red inflorescences-baskets 5-6 cm in
diameter Flowers appear in mid-summer and continue to bloom until the cold weather. Unpretentious, prefers moderate
hydration. Seeds should be planted in open ground in early May.

Rudbeckia "Daisy" is a beautiful, annual plant, 90-100 cm high, with yellow or yellow-orange flowers with brownish
brown spots on the petals. "Marmalade" is a plant 40 cm high with straight, highly branched
rough stems. The inflorescences are baskets with a diameter of 12-17 cm. Having planted in early May, we get abundant flowering from July until frost. Unpretentious, can grow in the shade, although sunny areas blooms better. Resistant to pests and plant diseases.

For vertical gardening and decorating the area, a fragrant mixture is well suited. Curly shoots or creeping ones,
up to 350 centimeters long. Flowers are up to 3-5 centimeters in diameter, of various colors, fragrant.

They bloom luxuriantly until frost. Varieties Drumondi Hem Zaden Fireball and Bright Extravaganza - bright large inflorescences with a diameter of up to 10 cm. If you plant the seeds in May, the phlox will bloom in August. The plants are unpretentious and drought-resistant.

Flowers Seeds of Ukraine "California" are cup-shaped and up to 6-7 cm in diameter, open only in
sunny days, abundant and long flowering from June until light frosts. The plant is not picky about soil and

As soon as the last spring frosts are over, which usually occurs at the end of April - beginning of May, gardeners begin to decorate flower beds en masse. It is the days of May that are most favorable for planting many annuals and perennials, because the soil is still quite moist, but already warmed up. Seeds thrown into it germinate instantly, and seedlings take root painlessly and in a short time. Let's look at how flowers are planted in May and what dates are best to plant certain plants.

First half of May: planting seeds and seedlings

Since the beginning of May can be unpredictable, and after a lull in the sun the weather can present a surprise in the form of unexpected frosts, in the first half of the month seeds are planted and perennial bushes that are not afraid of cold weather are divided.

Sowing flowers: nuances in choosing a location

The seeds will lie in the soil for another 5-7 days until they germinate, so they are not afraid of frost. Therefore, annuals that have a short growing season can be planted with peace of mind.

This list includes:

Gypsophila. At this time they sow annual varieties in order to wait for luxurious flowering by the end of July. Perennials can be planted in the summer, when space becomes available after the bulbous plants bloom.

Nasturtium. It is a little afraid of frost, but due to long germination (up to 2 weeks) it manages to wait out the critical time in the soil. Do not choose too fertile soil for planting, otherwise the plant will “grow fat”: it produces luxurious green mass, but does not bloom well.

Asters. In May, annual varieties are planted, which will bloom closer to autumn. Unpretentious flower, withstanding both drought and frequent rains. The only caveat is that it suffers from late blight, so it should not be planted after nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes). Annual asters planted in early May to wait for early flowering. It will come in mid-to-late August, when most of the plants have already bloomed. If the beginning of May turns out to be wet, then the seeds are sown to a depth of no more than 3 cm, and in dry weather they are planted deeper - 5-7 cm. By the way, thin-leaved varieties lend themselves well to corrective pruning, and they can be used to create living borders.

Daisies. These flowers are propagated both by seeds and by dividing the bush. At the beginning of May, old bushes are divided because the seeds need warmer weather (summer). Daisies can be planted even if they are in the flowering stage, you just have to cut off all the buds so that the plant does not waste energy on them. One of the newest design techniques decoration - planting daisies on the lawn. Since the plant is low-growing, the mower will not damage the rosettes, but in early spring the lawn will be strewn with beautiful little stars.

If you want to propagate varietal daisies, do not use the seed method, as it does not retain the properties of the mother plant. The ideal option is dividing the Nivyanik bush. This is one of the names of everyone's favorite chamomile. In gardening, it is grown as both an annual and a perennial. In May, varieties with a two-year development cycle are planted. Nivyanik is called the “child of the sun” because it does not tolerate shade at all, and in bad place will punish you with bad flowering.

Purslane. Enough delicate flower who doesn't like the cold. But due to the long growing season (96 days), it is not worth planting later, since flowering will begin only in the fall. To protect crops from possible weather disasters, cover them with any non-woven material.

Dividing and planting perennials: who is not afraid of early transplantation?

May is the best time to propagate early flowering plants. They have just bloomed, have not yet had time to lay new flower buds, so they are ready to develop new territories.

In early May, 4-year-old bushes begin to divide primrose Try to break the bush into parts so that each has at least one powerful outlet. If you delay replanting until the end of May, the plant will suffer from the heat and will stop feeding the leaves with moisture. So you will have to water it more often, otherwise the above-ground part may dry out completely.

By the way, open place detrimental to primroses. Their element is shadow. They feel great in tree trunks and under grapes. To ensure that primroses keep all their leaves healthy when planting, plant them on a cloudy day at the very beginning of the month, while there is enough moisture

Just like they love shady places and hosts. They also try to separate them at this time, before the heat sets in and daily watering is required.

The first half of the month is a good time to plant tubers begonias and cannas, gladioli bulbs. But if you sprouted cannas in tubs, then wait until 15-20 days, since their leaves are too sensitive to differences in night and day temperatures. In order for cannas to grow foliage in a short time, consider when frosts end in your area, and only after them plant seedlings

If there are old people sitting on the site iris bushes, which are already bare in the center and have protruded roots above the ground, you don’t have to wait until they bloom, but divide them before the plant sends out a flower arrow. All the same, such an iris will not bloom profusely, since it is cramped in the ground. Therefore, feel free to dig up the plant and divide it into smaller parts. The main thing is that in each division there remains a fan of at least 5 leaves. Then in June this fresh seedling will already bloom. Bare roots in the center of the iris bush indicate that it is time to divide the plant, because good flowering it won't happen anyway

Planting seedlings and seedlings: prepare roses and petunias

Among the purchased plants that are planted in May, the most popular are roses and petunias. With roses, it is important not to miss the deadline if you want to see the first bloom this season. It is advisable to carry out planting work before May 15th. To do this, buy seedlings with an open or closed (in film) root system. Potted flowers for planting in May are also suitable, but it is better to postpone the dates to the 20th and later. These roses are grown in greenhouses and weather changes can have an impact Negative influence on flower buds. The “healthiest” seedling has three powerful stems and roots at least 20 cm long.

To saturate the plant with moisture , which will help you grow faster root system, before planting, immerse the seedlings in water for 2-3 hours and only after that proceed to planting. If you plant roses before May 10, then by mid-June your pets will produce these beautiful first flowers. A three-hour bath with a growth stimulator will saturate rose seedlings with life-giving moisture and help them recover from hibernation in refrigerators or basements

For petunia, which were bought as seedlings or grown on a windowsill, best time Planting dates are considered to be the days when the cherry blossoms fade. Already in mid-June, the plant will produce its first flowers both in open ground and in flowerpots or containers. If you sow with seeds, then you need to wait until the end of the month, because the seedlings need a stable thermal regime.

Planting in the ground is rarely used, since flowering dates shift to August. In addition, petunia seeds that are too small are difficult to scatter so rarely, so as not to thin out later, and any replanting shifts the flowering time.

Second half of May – planting heat-loving plants

If we analyze the calendars for planting flowers in May, developed by landscape designers, then in the second half of the month “frost plants” are sent into the ground - plants that do not tolerate cold nights at a young age.
