Practically every person who has a garden tries to plant trees, bushes and flowers in it. Landscaping is becoming more and more popular. It allows not only to decorate the site, but also to highlight it, to make the garden unique, special. Rock garden is a very important element of landscape design.
In order to organize it, you need to select the appropriate material and plants. Flowers for an alpine slide must be chosen very carefully (taking into account all territorial, seasonal and climatic conditions). If you yourself do not have the opportunity to figure it out, then use the advice of specialists.
So, it should be remembered that the rock garden is a multi-tiered composition that requires plants of different heights. To make it beautiful for a long time, you need to choose several types of flowers that will bloom, replacing each other.
On the topmost tier, you can use perennial (undersized) flowers, such as bulbous species. If the rock garden is located on the sunny side of the garden, then plants must be planted that love light and do not require abundant watering. For example, forthe tops of the structure are perfect for evergreen iberis. It has a small height and blooms with beautiful white buds. Juniper and perennial carnation can also be an excellent decoration of the slide.
You can also choose flowers for the alpine slide, such as creeping thyme, edelweiss (does not like shade very much and has certain difficulties in growing). As for the middle tier, plants that equally love both light and moisture are perfect for it. For example: common backache (with large bells and very beautiful leaves), geykhra (has small flowers and original leaves), alpine asters. In addition, gentian will decorate your slide, although it is quite difficult to care for. Cyclamen, primroses, Carpathian bluebell - these are all those flowers for an alpine slide that will decorate your design from spring to autumn.
On the lowest tier it is necessary to use those plants that love moisture more than the sun. Spikelet lyatris, saxifrage are adapted to such conditions. In addition, do not forget about the plants that creep along the ground. They very beautifully highlight the slide (for example, cotoneaster and spirea). They come in many different shades, so your design will be colorful and unique.
The flowers for the alpine slide, like rhododendrons, will perfectly decorate your garden. They look great in plant compositions, although they can be placed "solo".
It should be noted that in our time there are ready-made schemes according to which you can organize an alpine slide yourself. They will be very useful for beginners who are just starting out in gardening. If you are an experienced flower lover, you can choose the scheme yourself. In any case, plants should be planted so that they can bloom for a long time (and not die due to improper conditions).
