Beautiful flowers are a decoration for any area. But annual planning, preparation and work on new flower beds is not easy and expensive. Therefore, many gardeners make their life easier and plant unpretentious perennial flowers. They require minimal care; the plant lives from 2 years to several decades (subject to timely division of the bush). And in terms of beauty, perennial unpretentious garden flowers are in no way inferior to annuals, and often even surpass them. Well, let's move on to considering the most suitable options.
Daffodils
These are reliable, unpretentious ones for the dacha that will never let you down. They are classified as bulbous, blooming at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of spring, depending on the variety. The flowers have a central tube (corolla) surrounded by a collar of petals, which can be of different shades, such as yellow, orange, white, red and peach. Some varieties have a subtle aroma. You will know that the daffodils have woken up by the thin narrow leaves that will appear from the ground as soon as the sun warms up. They are slightly shorter in length than the flowers.
When purchasing, choose beautiful, healthy bulbs that have not dried out. It is better to plant daffodils for the first time before winter, and then divide and plant the bushes at the beginning of summer, when their leaves have completely withered. The bulb is buried 5-7 cm into the ground. For planting, choose sunny or slightly shaded areas.
Further care is very simple: the plant needs to be well watered during the flowering period, if it is delayed, feed it. To prevent thin stems from falling from the wind, they sometimes need support. When the buds wither they need to be cut off.
Day-lily
Another easy-to-care plant that looks very impressive. It is undemanding to the soil and is almost not affected by pests. The Latin name for daylily means “one-day beauty” because the bud blooms in the morning and fades at night. But don’t worry, there are up to 12 ovaries on one stem, so the plant will delight you with its flowering for several weeks.
Daylilies come in different heights, so they can be used in a variety of ways: in borders, in isolated groups, or in the background of a flower bed.
Gardeners have literally developed thousands of varieties of this plant, which differ not only in the size and color of the flowers, but also in their shape and flowering period. In some species it lasts longer or occurs twice a season.
Daylily care
The plant requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, but in hot regions, flowers with bright colors must be shaded, otherwise they will fade. The soil should be moist but with good drainage. It is best to plant daylilies in the spring so that they get stronger before winter. But if the cold season is severe, then in the first year it is preferable to dig it up or at least cover it well until the warmth returns.
Generously fertilize the soil with compost before planting, leaving enough (30-60 cm) space between seedlings. Bury the bulb no more than 2-3 cm. In the first year, the daylily is particularly demanding of watering, and then it is resistant to difficult conditions.
When you notice that the plant begins to bloom less, this may be a signal that it has grown too many “babies” and it’s time to divide it. This usually happens 3-5 years from the moment of planting. It is also better to carry out the operation in the spring.
Irises
If you need perennial, unpretentious flowers with an interesting bud shape, delicate aroma and amazing vitality, then these beauties are your best choice.
Irises have three large outer petals that point downward and three inner petals that are vertical. The former may have beards or fluffy combs. They come in different colors and sizes.
Most irises bloom once - in early summer. Some, mainly bearded hybrids, are remontant and bloom again a little later.
Irises need a sunny location and well-drained soil. Flowers are planted in mid-late summer in shallow, wide holes. The rhizomes are left open on top or lightly crushed with earth in hot regions. Indeed, unlike bulbous plants, which need to be buried in the soil, they love sunlight and can rot under a layer of soil.
These perennial, unpretentious flowers are extremely easy to care for. It consists of careful watering, without waterlogging the soil; you should also not overdo it with fertilizers. Old flowers are cut off when they have already withered, and the leaves are left - they continue to nourish the root throughout the season. Once every 2-5 years the bush needs to be divided and replanted.
Peonies
These are very beautiful, unpretentious ones for a summer residence. Photos of peonies in all their glory inspire you to grow them.
Moreover, after the luxurious flowering is completed, you will not be left with a bare flowerbed, but a lush green bush, which in the fall will acquire a reddish-golden color.
A perennial may even outlive you - a peony bush lives up to 10 years. Plants require minimal care; once they are planted in a good place, it is better not to disturb them; they react very painfully to transplantation.
These perennial unpretentious flowers need an abundance sunny color and loose, well-permeable soil. Peonies are not even afraid of cold winters, because frost promotes the formation of buds in the spring.
Caring for peonies
For planting, take parts of the rhizome with eyes from an adult (3-5 years old) bush. The timing of the procedure is autumn (September-October), before the first frost. The place should be unshaded, open, protected from the wind. The soil needs to be properly fertilized. Plant the plant in a wide hole with its eyes up to a depth of 2.5-5 cm.
After this, as with previous perennials, maintenance is minimal. You only need to fertilize the bush if you have very poor soil. Water it in a timely manner, remove faded buds and cut off the foliage for the winter to eliminate the risk of overwintering diseases.
Echinacea
Many people have a tincture of this plant in their medicine cabinet. But in gardens, perennial unpretentious flowers are not so common. And in vain, because even in the most intense heat, echinacea will delight you with large flowers. Their classic color is purple with a raised brown cone-shaped core, but there are varieties with red, yellow, orange or white petals. Echinacea attracts butterflies and birds with its aroma and seeds.
Most often, the plant reproduces by seeds, which are sown in the spring, it loves sunny places and Echinacea needs to be watered at least once a week. In the spring you should fertilize with compost and mulch. Faded buds need to be cut off not only to encourage new ones to appear more actively, but also to prevent the unauthorized spread of seeds. Divide the bushes every 3-4 years. More often the plant should not be disturbed, it does not like it.
Phloxes
These perennial, unpretentious flowers for a flower bed can serve as an example of a spectacular appearance and ease of care. There are a lot of varieties and colors, you can always choose the variety that suits your liking. Phlox blooms with a bright, beautiful ball, which consists of small five-pointed flowers.
They prefer open sunny places, but will tolerate light shade from trees. Propagated by seeds or cuttings.
The plant should be planted in rich, fertilized soil. Leave about 30 cm between flowers so that they can grow well and not interfere with each other. Adult flowers are fed with compost and the ground around them is mulched. Although garden phlox is a drought-tolerant plant (since it comes from field phlox, which can withstand harsh conditions), it is recommended to water it at least once a week. For the winter you should take care of shelter.
The most unpretentious perennial flowers that bloom in autumn
Of course, these are chrysanthemums. In autumn, when everything around begins to fade, they explode with a splash vigorous flowering. They come in different shapes, sizes and colors: white, yellow, pink, orange, red, lavender, and bi-color. There are low-growing bushes and almost meter-tall giants.
Chrysanthemum can be grown from seeds, by dividing rhizomes, or by buying ready-made seedlings or even plants in pots. It is better to replant them every 2-3 years to avoid problems with pests and diseases. It is better to divide the bush in the spring. Depending on its size, this should be done once every 3-5 years.
These perennials love unshaded areas with loose, fertilized sandy soil. Subsequent feeding is optional, but recommended. In order to enhance the formation of flower ovaries, when the sprouts reach 20 cm, they need to be pinched. For the winter, cut the stems to 20 cm and cover.
Autumn beauty
If peonies are associated with the last bell, then asters are certainly held in high esteem on September 1 and Teacher's Day. Of course, they bloom from the end of August to mid-October, there are different sizes, coloring pages and shapes. Asters are perennial, unpretentious flowers; a photo of a flower bed with them proves how impressive they can look.
The conditions for caring for them are similar to caring for chrysanthemums. After all, both plants belong to the same botanical family - Asteraceae.
It can be grown either from seeds, which are sown in early spring, or from seedlings, if the spring in your region is cold and long. Or you can buy adult plants in pots.
Astra loves sunny areas, but can cope with slight shading.
The plant should be watered at least once a week, fed with compost every spring and protected from weeds. High grades worth tying up. Pinching the tops also gives good results.
For winter, the old foliage is completely cut off and the plant is covered.
Once every 2-3 years, the bush needs to be divided so that the aster continues to develop rapidly.
For problem areas
All of the above plants require sunny locations for optimal development. But what should you plant on the north side of the house or under the trees? Pay attention to hostas - perennial, unpretentious flowers that grow well in the shade. Most of all they are valued for their beautiful succulent foliage. However, many species will delight the gardener with interesting flowers on a high stalk, in the shape of a funnel or bell, sometimes reminiscent of lilies. Coloring - white, lilac or purple. Blooms from June to October, depending on the variety.
Caring for Hostas
It should be noted that not all varieties like dense shade. The lighter the color, the more sunlight the plant needs. Therefore, for especially shaded areas, choose varieties with dark, rich green leaves.
The planting hole should be fertilized generously with compost. For now it requires a lot of moisture, but make sure that it does not stagnate. In the future, hosts will also appreciate timely watering, but adult flowers can easily tolerate short droughts.
Caring for the plant consists of spring feeding, protection from slugs and a little shelter for the winter. Hosta grows well in one place for several years; moreover, the bush will reveal its full potential no earlier than 3-6 years after planting. It is not necessary to divide it, only if you want to propagate the plant.

Bulbous flowers
Among bulbous plants, lilies are the leader. A huge number of varieties differ in height - from border plants to two-meter giants, flowering time and flower color. They are as varied as they are magnificent.
If the rose is the queen of flowers, then the king, without a doubt, is the gladiolus. There are a great many varieties of it. Their coloring is simply amazing. The only pity is that the flower arrow does not live too long.

Unpretentious spring flowers
Inexperienced gardeners are concerned with the question - what unpretentious flowers should be planted at the dacha, so that with the onset of the first warmth, they will announce the arrival of Spring with their blossoms, filling the soul and heart with joy?
After all, the arrival of heat, especially in the Russian central zone, is often delayed. The seeds of annual flowers have not yet been thrown into the ground. And perennials are just beginning to break through the unheated soil.
But there is no need to be upset - bulbous crops have already formed future buds since the fall and with the onset of spring they will color the flower beds with a rainbow spectrum.
On the first thawed patches, with gentle rays spring sun, white, blue, yellow and striped corollas will appear on your site - this is how they bloom.
These primroses will delight their owners all spring, and then they retire until the next favorable time.
They vary significantly in height - from seven to fifteen centimeters.
When choosing a place for planting, you need to take into account that these are sun-loving individuals. A warm and well-lit secluded place is their favorite corner. Light partial shade near trees and shrubs that have not yet blossomed is also suitable.
Planting of bulbous firstborns is carried out in traditional times - in August and September.

Like many bulbous plants, Pushkinia prefers good lighting or light shading.

Mouse hyacinth, also called muscari, is rightfully included in the TOP of the most unpretentious garden crops.
Once you plant a bulb under the crown of a tree or, for example, next to a lilac bush, you will welcome spring with this amazing flower for many years.
You can renew or thin out muscari with the onset of summer - in June. But only when you see that the blue flower and its elongated leaves have faded.
A small reminder - during the period of vital activity, the plant needs additional soil moisture. At this point, the troubles are practically over, leaving only the advantages: excellent proximity to other flowers and unpretentious care.
It’s hard to imagine a country “residence” without these flowers, striking in their delicacy and simplicity. Perhaps it is they, except perhaps tulips, that are the calling card of spring.
Agree that the spring scent of narcissus is difficult to confuse with other crops.
From the beginning of April until the last calendar days In spring, this small fragment of the sun pleases with its beauty.
The plant can grow up to 60 cm - it all depends on the chosen variety.
Again, their color depends on the variety. It can be simply white, without losing its tenderness and grace, as well as with a long or short crown, which is framed by fringe.
The place for growing daffodils should be rich in minerals - this is ideal. In addition, they are very unpretentious to lighting. And they feel comfortable both in bright sun and in a slightly shaded place, hiding under the crown of budding trees.
Narcissus is a harmonious flower. It cohabits and decorates, growing with bergenia, tulip, various garden plants, dicentra and other plants.
Over time, they form a snow-white carpet with yellow splashes, which looks very impressive.
As necessary, it can be thinned out by transplanting the bulbs to another place. But it is advisable to do this after a decrease in their vital activity - somewhere in the beginning of summer.
The daffodil tolerates frosty winters relatively calmly. But if in the spring you notice some bare areas, then in the summer they can be planted with young bulbs.

Tulips
Avid gardeners consider the tulip to be the king of home decorative crops. Others, on the contrary, due to the extremely few requirements on his part regarding care, are classified as “commoners.”
The number of varieties, shapes, and colors is so great that true fans of this delightful creature grow only it, allocating its own zone for each variety.

In order for a fairy-tale picture to appear in the spring, you need to take care of this beauty in the fall. It is better to plant and renew the bulbs in September, placing them in loose, fertilized soil.
Important advice. During the flowering period, occasionally check the condition of the plants. If they are affected by a fungus, remove the flower immediately, as this disease cannot be treated.

Lily of the valley
This is, if you like, an axiom or a classic of the spring flower bed. They replace the first wave of flowering. May is their month. Thanks to their good root system, they easily endure winter.

They are very undemanding to themselves, but it is still worth creating the minimum conditions for their living comfort. Plants do not like lowlands, where moisture lingers for a long time. Their regular diet is ammonium nitrate and superphosphate. But manure, especially unrotted manure, should be excluded from feeding.
If you want to extend the flowering period, then regularly pick out the resulting seed boxes, because the process of their ripening will require a lot of work. additional forces and energy.
Clusters of soft pink flowers attached to a thick stem, and rounded shiny foliage - this is how it can be briefly described.

You need to remember minimal attention to the plant, especially in spring.
During the period of awakening, the flower is very sensitive to fungi. Therefore, treatment with protective drugs will be very useful.
Where will the culture take root better and look more impressive? These are rocky locations in garden plots, flower beds where groups of different species are planted, borders and (rectangular flower beds).
Colchicum
Colchicum is the middle name of Colchicum. It convincingly resembles a crocus. But its flowers are slightly larger and endowed with a delicate aroma. The bulb of this individual is very prolific and can form up to four inflorescences.
The short flowering period, which is just over three weeks, is compensated by the beauty it creates, albeit short-lived.
The crop is quite undemanding both in terms of fertilizing and lighting, as well as in soil composition.
Colchicum looks advantageous not only on alpine hills, but also in flower beds with long-term flowering. Yes, simple flower beds are also suitable.
