Catnip is still rarely found in gardens, although it is a wonderful long-flowering plant that covers the flower garden with a delicate blue cloud from June to August. You can plant a couple of varieties - lower (30-40 cm) and higher (50-80 cm).
It goes perfectly with all varieties of roses, so it is appropriate in the rose garden.

To ensure that your garden is surrounded by flowers and does not need your close attention, it is worth planting plants that do not require special care. Here are some of these crops.
The elegant anemone flowers bloom in late August. They look great in a flower bed, and also make up beautiful bouquets. Plant different varieties of anemones to create a colorful flower bed.
This unpretentious plant will bloom beautifully and luxuriantly even in the shade. But for this, astilbe should be well watered.
The crop blooms in July and pleases with its bright elongated inflorescences for 10 weeks.
This plant forms lush spherical bushes up to 50 cm high. In September, when the plant blooms, each stem turns into a bouquet. But even without flowers, this bright ball looks very elegant.
If you choose the right helenium varieties, it will bloom in your garden from June to October.
For abundant and long-lasting flowering, these bright “suns” should be planted in a lighted place and watered periodically.
Add to the garden of blue color– it is often missing. Magnificent geranium does not require special attention. It grows up to 50 cm in height and can bloom even in partial shade. Although the plant blooms for a short time (from May to June), in the fall it reminds itself again: the foliage acquires a reddish tint.
This plant is especially popular in regions where it is impossible to grow lavender. Catnip is an unpretentious perennial that blooms especially profusely and brightly in sunny areas.
And if you prune the catnip after the first flowering, it may bloom again.
Oriental poppy will not cause much trouble either. This plant with fairly large scarlet flowers will become a bright accent in your flower garden. If you plant early and late varieties, then you can extend the flowering of the crop from May to July.
It is difficult to imagine a flowerbed where sedum would be inappropriate. The culture decorates the garden throughout the entire season, even though the plant blooms only at the end of August.
Sedum is very unpretentious, but prefers sunny places and sandy soils.
Chamomile is a win-win option for decorating a flower garden, because it blooms for a very long time and does not need special care. All this crop needs is watering and fertilizing. Perennial daisies require less attention than annual daisies. This plant also lasts a long time when cut.
Another garden “sun” is rudbeckia. Bright yellow flowers adorn the plant from late summer to mid-autumn.
All you need to take care of when planting this crop is to choose a sunny place for it.
Tiny yarrow flowers would not look so impressive if they were not collected in inflorescences-baskets. Be sure to plant this plant in your garden if you are unable to visit your dacha often. Yarrow blooms from June to September - a surprisingly long time.
12. Phlox
Phlox will also be indispensable in a “lazy” garden. They are different colors, there are even “chameleon” varieties that change color depending on the lighting.
At the same time, the plants are so unpretentious that they can be compared to weeds: they take root well and grow quickly.
The topic of floriculture is alien and indifferent to those who are not able to understand and feel the soul of these lovely creations of nature, the enchanting and silent harmony of color.
True connoisseurs of the music of flowers need only look at this natural masterpiece to imagine with their hearts and personally create the magic of unearthly perfection, combining style, shape, color and sound together.
Unpretentious spring flowers
Not experienced gardeners I'm concerned about the question - what unpretentious flowers should I plant in my dacha, so that with the onset of the first warmth, they will announce the arrival of Spring with their blossoming, filling my soul and heart with joy?
After all, the arrival of heat, especially in the Russian Middle lane, often drags on. 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.
Without a doubt, the owners of a country estate will receive the highest aesthetic pleasure when planting crocuses in groups. During flowering, they will appear in all their splendor, effectively decorating flower beds.
A festival of colors of incredible beauty with large white flowers and blue stripes will delight you until the onset of summer. The inflorescence can have a blue or blue color. The height of the stem can reach 20 centimeters.
Like many bulbous plants, Pushkinia prefers good lighting or light shading.
They look harmonious and impressive with small daffodils, broken hearts and a motley carpet of sedums.

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 saturated with minerals - this perfect option. 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.
Narcissist is 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.

Just as the varieties vary, so do the stem sizes. They can reach 50 centimeters.
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.
