What to plant on the north side of the site

A successful flower garden, as a rule, is associated with a glade generously flooded with the sun, with buzzing bees and bright flowers. However, in addition to the "sultry" - southern, there are also other, no less colorful plots of land. One of them is on the opposite side. Specialists, without thinking too much, give him a fairly comprehensive description of two words: coolness plus shadow. We decided to give advice on what to plant in the shade at the cottage. From our article you will learn which plants grow best in shaded areas.

By the way, read about how to equip a cottage plot of 6 acres.

So that with a front garden located on the north side of the house, as little trouble as possible, it is most rational to use, first of all, decorative conifers when designing it.

Namely:

1. Mountain pine.

2. Arrows (for example, cedar - Pinus pumila).

3. Spruce:

5. The western one with spherical and / or vertical crown.

6. Microbiota.

Experts strongly recommend avoiding symmetry when planning landings.

Techniques by which this goal can be achieved:

1. One tree - at each of the vertices of the triangle (its sides should be of different lengths), in the background - the highest.

2. Among conifers, place deciduous shrubs (erect).

3. Use herbaceous plants of different heights (perennials).

4. Plant only one coniferous tree (the same microbiota grows rapidly) and shade it with perennials.

5. Beat the various forms of the crown of the thuja (alternate round and linear).
Flowers with small bulbs are planted between trees directly into the grass.

And some owners manage only climbing cultures here:

- hops;
- honeysuckle ("goat" or "fragrant" honeysuckle);
- girl's grape (Parthenocissus). The latter without pollination forms (true, completely non-edible) small black berries.

Viburnum, mountain ash, wild rose will add bright colors, arankus - delicacy. The place of these cultures is in the center of the triangle of conifers, and even more often in the foreground of the "scenery". Hosts plus canoe form a curb. Kandyk (“dog’s tooth”) and anemone will delight in early spring as primroses. Scallop, galanthus (snowdrop), as a rule, also do not cause much trouble.

Now you know what to plant on the north side of the site. The result is a charming decorative land allotment that pleases the eye almost all year round.
