In the design of flower beds, flower beds and front gardens, any flower with white flowers brings lightness and sophistication. The trends of recent years show a distinct popularity of landscape design, made in white. Nature has given the world a huge number of plants that surprise with their snowy purity.
Early spring flowers
Forest flowers - snowdrops - are the first to please the eye after winter. At first glance, they are all the same, but among them there are leaders, for example, Galanthus nivalis, or snowdrop snowdrop. He is the first to show his head from under a snow coat and hurries to notify everyone about the approach of spring.
The spring whiteflower does not lag behind in the marathon. The plant will look harmonious in rock gardens and at the gate. When planting, remember that these plants prefer the sunny side, are completely unassuming in matters of watering and will delight you with their white bells for a long time. Another advantage of planting white flowers is that the moment they bloom indicates that the soil has warmed up enough forplanting other seeds.
Mid-Spring Flowers
In early April, Tubergen's spawn appears, the plant reaches a height of 8 cm and is well recognizable by a slightly noticeable blue stripe on the petals. By mid-April, crocuses will please the eye, the flowering of which in the southern regions continues all year round. The most unpretentious white varieties of Dutch hybrids are recognized - Pickwick and Joan of Arc. Simultaneously with crocuses, dwarf muscari and white chionodoxa bloom in the front garden. If you prefer growing flowers in pots, plant chionodoxes in September, then the first flowers will please you at the end of February.
