The winter months without my beloved dacha always last forever. I am always tempted to go to the gardening store located next to my house. When you come out of it, you will certainly end up with another bag of seeds in your hands. As a result, by spring, when it’s time to plant seedlings, I have a lot of colorful packages in my supplies, most of which flower crops are made. It is not possible to plant all the plants for seedlings - there is simply not enough space on the windowsills. Naturally, vegetables win in the struggle for space in the window, and I have to postpone planting perennial flowers until later. This “later” usually occurs in June, when the seedlings vegetable crops moves to a summer cottage.
The seeds of most perennials, as is known, can be sown in the spring immediately open ground when the threat of return frosts has passed. I tried to do this many times, but nothing good came of it. This happened for only one reason: since I am at the dacha only on weekends, I do not have the opportunity to constantly keep the soil in the bed with the sown seeds moist. Moreover, our sandy soil dries out immediately after rain or watering. Naturally, I didn’t expect any germination under such conditions.
Perennial flowers sown for seedlings in February-March can delight you with their flowering in the same season. But since I was unable to sow them in this time frame, I decided to plant flower seedlings in June, despite the fact that I had never seen such recommendations on any bag of seeds. Although I have to wait another year for these plants to appear in all their glory and bloom, it is better than nothing at all. Over the course of several years, my flower garden was transformed beyond recognition and from spring to late autumn decorated with a wide variety of colors. In this way I grew various varieties of Turkish, decorative cornflower and yarrow, snapdragon, bellflower, as well as loosestrife, coreopsis, gravilate, aquilegia, bergenia, lavatera, echinacea, low-growing and tall species of perennial chrysanthemums.
Perennials sown as seedlings in June grow in one and a half to two months, and in mid-late August I plant them in the flower garden. Before the onset of cold weather, they manage to take root in a new place, grow up and turn into strong bushes that perfectly withstand all winter hardships.
To plant seedlings of all flower crops, I use garden soil mixed with humus in equal proportions. I am glad that in the summer it is not difficult to prepare and bring home from the dacha such a mixture. I liked using plastic containers from ice cream, cookies and similar products as containers. Many products that can be found on the shelves of our stores are now packaged in such “chests” with tightly closing lids. I make several holes in the bottom of each container to drain excess liquid, fill it 2/3 with soil, moisten it with warm water and sow the seeds. I sprinkle the seeds of each perennial with a layer of soil, depending on the recommendations on the package. If I don’t find such a description, then I use the generally accepted rule: I bury the seed in the ground to a depth equal to its size multiplied by three. I moisten the soil from above with a spray bottle and close the lids of the “chests”. All flowers sprout perfectly within the required period of time for each germination.
After the shoots emerge, I open the lids and leave the seedlings on the windowsill for another couple of weeks. The length of daylight hours in the summer months is maximum, so I no longer need to provide them with additional lighting. As the earthen clod dries, I water them with settled water and fertilize them three times with complex organomineral fertilizer, the solution of which I prepare according to the instructions and apply after the next watering on the moist soil. I fertilize the seedlings for the first time a week after emergence, repeat the second feeding two to three weeks after the first, and the third ten days before transplanting the seedlings into open ground. About a couple of weeks after the emergence of seedlings, I begin to take the seedlings out into the open loggia and gradually accustom them to straight sun rays. Subsequently, I leave them there until they are planted in the flower garden. Pick flower seedlings I don’t do it, although in any specialized literature it is recommended to do it. Last season, I was unable to do this due to lack of time and planted seedlings that grew very densely in a seedling container, bypassing the picking process right away. permanent place into the ground. To my surprise, every single one of them took root perfectly and quickly began to grow. Since then, I no longer complicate the process of growing flower seedlings. In August, I monitor the weather forecast and try to plant the seedlings in the ground before the rains - in cloudy weather they tolerate transplantation painlessly.

Every gardener knows that the summer period is the active growth phase of a huge number of plants. True, there is one peculiarity - you need to know exactly what planting time is considered the most acceptable for a particular species. Today we’ll try to figure out what flowers can be planted in.

It is classified as a perennial plant, but is grown according to the rules of annual plants. The second name is antirrinum. The flower loves sunny places, nutritious soil, enriched with lime and quite loose.
Marigolds are famous for their unpretentiousness. Their varieties are both annual and perennial. The average height is about thirty centimeters, but some species can reach a meter.
Gardeners try to place several varieties in one bed at once. Caring for marigolds does not require any difficulties - loosening, weeding and timely watering in moderate dosages.
Cosmos, morning glory, and calendula are sown in June. IN preliminary preparation are not needed, they are planted in furrows, the depth of which does not exceed one and a half centimeters.
Nasturtium and decorative beans. The seed fund needs to be soaked in water for a day and only then planted in the ground, planted five centimeters deep. 
Clarkia, distinguished by its small seeds, is mixed with sand before planting and only then sown.
In June, it is also allowed to sow some biennials - pansies, . They will begin to bloom only next year. Seeds of these types are planted a couple of centimeters deep. It would not be amiss to arrange a shelter for the beds from non-woven material to create the most suitable conditions. kept in the beds until the flower shoots hatch.
Varieties are also excellent for sowing in June. They bloom in various shades of colors and reach eighty centimeters in height. In hot weather, plants need watering; they respect fertile soil compositions.
In the first days of June they are planted. For their better development, it is recommended to leave three shoots on the bush. To increase the number of flowers, the main shoot is pinched above the fourth pair of leaves.
Planting flowers in June with seedlings
Impatiens, balsam are planted in seedlings. For them, the main condition is the complete threat of night frosts.
June days are considered the most successful for planting fast-growing and long-flowering annuals. These are cosmos and lavatera, which are bred using the seed method.
In soil that is well warmed up,
Dacha is not only vegetable beds, berry bushes And fruit trees. Perennial flowers help create beauty on the site. For the garden, unpretentious, long-flowering plants are indispensable, like a magnificent frame for a canvas created by the labor of a summer resident.
Beginner gardeners may think that setting up a flower garden and caring for it is too troublesome. But when correct selection cultures, caring for flowers will not take much time, and the buds will open from early spring until late autumn.
The most unpretentious flowers for spring
Early spring in middle lane not happy with the colors. Annual flowers have not yet been sown; even the most unpretentious ones are just emerging from the ground.
Are there really plants that are ready to bloom in the first warm days? Yes, wintering bulbous crops have formed the rudiments of buds since the fall and in the spring they are the first to illuminate the flower beds with all the shades of the rainbow.
Crocuses
Almost from under the snow, corollas of crocuses appear in white, blue, yellow and even striped colors. Plants with a height of 7 to 15 cm bloom from March to May, and after the flowers fade, they go into rest. Planting of bulbs is carried out in the traditional time frame for spring bulbous plants, from August to September. The best place for crocuses - well-lit areas or partial shade, for example, under the crowns of bushes or trees that have not yet blossomed.
Tulips
Tulip is not only the most common summer cottages perennials, but also the most unpretentious flowers. Today, lovers of spring flowers have hundreds and thousands of magnificent varieties at their disposal. However, not everyone knows that these garden plants belong to several species, differing both in appearance and in terms of flowering.
By skillfully selecting varieties, using only tulips from 10 to 50 cm in height, you can decorate the area up to an alpine hill. The first tulips begin to bloom in March, and the latest varieties fade at the end of May.
Tulip bulbs are planted in the first half of autumn in sunny areas with loose, nutrient-rich soil.
During growth and flowering, plants need regular watering, which is stopped in the summer when the bulbs rest.
Types of garden tulips react differently to frost. If in the southern regions the most lush terry and lily varieties can be considered unpretentious plants for the cottage and garden, then in the northern regions the common Greig, Gesner and Foster tulips require annual digging.
Low-growing botanical tulips or Kaufmann tulips, which can easily winter in any climate, will help replace them.
Daffodils
Along with the tulips garden beds daffodils appear. Flowering lasts from April to the last days of May, while the flowers illuminate the garden not only with bright sunny shades, but also with an exquisite aroma.
Depending on the variety, plants reach a height of 30 to 60 cm. Flowers can be either simple or double, with a short or long crown. Daffodils prefer areas with loose, fertile soil. They grow well in the sun and under the crowns that bloom at this time. The main thing is that the soil in which the bulbs were planted in the fall is not oversaturated with moisture.
Daffodils are long-blooming, unpretentious flowers for the garden, successfully used in mixed plantings with tulips, garden varieties, dicentra and other plants. Daffodils feel great in one place for several years. As they grow, they form very dense clumps, which are planted after the foliage withers, that is, at the beginning of summer.
Wintering bulbous crops appear “out of nowhere” in the spring, are unpretentious and bright, but at the same time their foliage cannot remain decorative for long. It dies off, exposing space in the flowerbed, so you should take care in advance of planting “replacement” crops nearby, such as peony bushes, perennial poppies or aquilegias.
Periwinkle
It's one thing to choose long-blooming perennials and low-maintenance flowers for a garden in the sun. Another is to find the same plants for both open and shady areas.
There are not so many shade-tolerant garden crops - a striking example of one of them is periwinkle. or small subshrubs bloom in the midst of spring and spread quickly, easily taking root upon contact with the ground.
Cultivars of periwinkle create showy clumps of fresh greenery with splashes of every shade of blue, white, pink and purple. Gardeners have at their disposal specimens with simple and double corollas, smooth and variegated foliage.
Romantic legends are associated with many ornamental plants. No exception - which, thanks to such a story, is better known not by its real name, but as a “broken heart”.
Thanks to its powerful rhizomes, dicentra tolerates winter cold without loss. The foliage that dies off in autumn rises above the ground again with the arrival of warmth, different varieties reaching a height of 30 to 100 cm. In May, the spectacular plant is covered with white, pink or two-colored corollas of a bizarre, heart-shaped shape collected in racemes. Flowering lasts about a month, with drooping inflorescences under the transparent shadow of young foliage unpretentious plant for the dacha and garden look brighter and last longer.
Dicentra will be indispensable in the flowerbed next to primroses and daffodils, muscari, ferns and decorative varieties Luke.
The flowering plant is worthy of admiration in a single planting, and after the inflorescences fade, it will become an excellent background for other flowers.
Lily of the valley

The dignity of these unpretentious garden perennials– flowers that do not lose their beauty in the sun and in the shade, the ability to grow in one place for up to 10 years.
Kupena
In the forest next to clumps of lily of the valley you can see graceful kupena plants. Blooming from May to June, the perennial is not as colorful as other spring flowers.
But in shady areas, near coniferous crops and shrubs, a crop with a height of 30 to 80 cm with drooping white or greenish bell flowers is simply irreplaceable.
Brunner
May is the month of the brightest greenery and unusually lush flowering of garden perennials.
At this time, under the crowns of trees, near paths and ponds, under the protection of walls and fences, blue flowers Brunners. Plants from 30 to 50 cm in height, with decorative pointed-heart-shaped foliage, prefer to settle in partial shade, where there is enough moisture and nutrition for lush leafy rosettes and inflorescences towering above them.
Soft blue, unpretentious garden flowers enliven the most shady corners and do not require special care, thanks to the attractive, often variegated foliage, they protect their decorative properties for a long time and can survive for many years without replanting.
IN favorable conditions Brunnera grows excellently and is propagated by dividing the bush.

Unpretentious flowers for cottages and gardens are planted in the sun or in transparent shade, but not under the canopy of trees.
Doronicum plants love moisture; in order to save it in the soil under light green foliage, the soil is mulched.
When flowering ends, the greenery also fades. Decorative ferns, clumps of cornflower and aquilegia, with which doronicum goes well together, will help hide the gap that forms in the flowerbed.

Video about ground cover perennials in the garden
The group of biennial flowers is distinguished by the fact that they can be slowly sown in June right at the dacha, bypassing the seedling method of cultivation. In the year of sowing, seedlings grow, forming good outlet leaves, overwinter and bloom profusely the following year. Some of them bloom in the third year, but the flowering already sharply loses its decorative effect.
The bell is medium. The seeds are very small, so they are sown almost superficially. To prevent the soil from drying out quickly, sowing can be done in a shaded place, for example, somewhere under an apple tree. Shoots appear after two weeks. Strong seedlings are picked up at the end of summer and planted in a permanent place. The soils for bells are fertile, without stagnant water in a lighted place. For the winter, it is better to cover the “garden” with peat.
Bluebells are very beautiful in group plantings, on lawns, on ridges and in mixborders. Their flowers are fragrant and look stylish in bouquets. In colder regions where the summer is short, it is preferable to sow the seeds at the end of May.
Carnation bearded (Turkish). The seeds are sown immediately in the flower garden. The carnation sprouts after 8...10 days; it is undemanding to the place of growth. It blooms wonderfully for 1.5 months even in shaded places on fertile soils where there is no stagnation of water. Winters well, but from mice Turkish cloves it must be covered with spruce branches and thorns from burdock inflorescences. 
Planted on rocky areas, in mixed borders next to perennial flowers, it will always look good and beautiful. Low varieties are suitable for growing in pots and on balconies. Flowers have a unique aroma. Once cut, they remain in water for a long time.
Mallow or hollyhock rose. Modern terry varieties are popular today, although plants with simple flowers are very decorative. The seeds are quite large and must be sown immediately in their place. They sprout after 10...12 days. The plants are drought-resistant, love light, fertile soils and require abundant watering in dry weather in summer. But they cannot tolerate damp soils. For the winter, seedlings need to be covered with peat. 
Hollyhocks look great as tapeworms in lawns. They are planted along fences and walls. Cut flowers stand well in bouquets and half-opened buds open in water.
Daisy. Small seeds germinate in 5...10 days. Plants adapt well and bloom even on heavy, moist, fertile soils in partial shade and sun. They give self-seeding. 
Daisies at good care can bloom almost continuously. They are planted in various flower beds, flowerpots, and balcony boxes. Cut flowers stand well in water and are used to make small bouquets (boutonnieres) and compositions.
Forget-me-not. After sowing, shoots appear in 12...14 days. Forget-me-nots are grown in moist, fertile loamy soils, without stagnant water. The best place for them is under trees and bushes. In sunny places in dry weather, the decorative effect is quickly lost. 
Forget-me-nots are planted in groups with spring-flowering bulbous plants, on lawns near trees.
Digitalis. Medicinal and ornamental plant, the flowers are very similar to bells. Plants up to 150 cm high. Small seeds. Foxgloves are planted in places with fertile, loose soil without stagnant water. Winters well. Drought-resistant and light-loving. 
Foxgloves are beautiful when planted both in separate groups on lawns, and in the vicinity of other flowers in mixborders. The entire plant is poisonous, so they are not planted on playgrounds or in places where small children are.
Hesperis or (Matrona's evening). The plant belongs to the cabbage family. The seeds germinate well. The plant is unpretentious to grow, but does not like acidic soils. Flowering plants grow more than 1 m in height. It’s worth sowing once, and it will take root on the site for a long time. The fact is that the noctule sheds its seeds abundantly after flowering. This is both bad and good. The bad thing is that you have to either replant it (which it is not afraid of), or remove it completely, where it is “out of place.” 
But for all its little shortcomings, the noctule will reward its owners with the enchanting aroma of its simple flowers, similar to phlox. The aroma is especially strong in the evening hours.
Pansy (viola). Sown seeds germinate in 8...10 days. Strong babies are planted in flower beds at the end of August - beginning of September with a distance of 15...20 cm between them. The choice of varieties and colors is very large. In dry weather they need constant, abundant watering. 
Pansies are widely used in landscaping. They are planted in flower beds in groups, on lawns, in containers, flowerpots, and in balcony boxes. Pansies are loved by the people of many countries.
It's summer outside.
Didn't you get any seedlings? It's a shame, of course, but not fatal.
What annual seeds are not too late to sow at this time, i.e. in June?
There are quite a few annual plants, the seeds of which can be sown in open ground. And it won't be too late in June. Their flowering can begin at the end of July and will last until the first frost.
So, at this time it is not too late to sow seeds: marigolds, cosmos, morning glory, calendula, nasturtium, decorative beans.
For faster germination, nasturtium and decorative bean seeds should be soaked in water for a day. warm water and plant at a depth of 3-5 cm.
Marigold and cosmos seeds can be sown to a depth of 1-1.5 cm without pre-treatment.
Very small clarkia seeds are pre-mixed with sand and sown to a depth of 0.5 cm, and lightly sprinkled with earth.
At the same time, sow the seeds biennial plants — pansies(Vitroka violet), foxgloves, hollyhock roses, various carnations (Shabo, Turkish). They will bloom next year.
The seeding depth is 1.5-2 cm. After sowing, it is advisable to cover the bed non-woven material for creating optimal conditions. After germination, it is removed.
I usually sow pansies, hollyhocks, and carnations at this time, and in August I transplant them to a permanent place. The next year, the flowers emerge green from under the snow and develop beautifully.
So, don’t worry and feel free to sow the seeds in the ground! Good luck at the dacha!
