September is an amazing month. It imperceptibly seeps out with a yellow glow, little by little scattering its drizzling clouds and whitish mists.
September allows summer to slowly say goodbye to us, leaving autumn flowers on the ground. This is probably why the flowers of September are touching and very beautiful...
Autumn will always remain the brightest time, even despite the approach of cold weather, the areas are decorated not only with an abundance of colors of fallen leaves, but also with a mass of autumn flowers. They will decorate the environment and become a cradle for the fall asleep autumn garden.
Let's walk together autumn garden and look at the gifts of the past summer.
Dahlias.
One of the most unpretentious and beautiful flowers. There are about 20,000 species of dahlias. They differ from each other in the height of the bush, in the structure and shape of the inflorescences, and in the size of the flowers.
Our gardeners equally love anemoid and peony dahlias, collared and needle-shaped, nymphal and spherical.
Dahlias bloom in September and will decorate the autumn flowerbed until frost. In the meantime, while the sun is warming, dahlias delight gardeners, decorating the autumn garden.
Chrysanthemums
The chrysanthemum in the autumn flower bed is so good that it undoubtedly occupies the very top of the flower charts.
The various colors of chrysanthemums never cease to amaze us: pink and bronze, white and cream, yellow and orange, red and lilac... chrysanthemums alone can decorate the whole world.
Chrysanthemum - flower short day, which is why it blooms when the day is waning. There are many varieties of chrysanthemum, they will decorate any autumn flower bed.
But, large-flowered chrysanthemums are quite difficult to grow in our conditions, but a large number of magnificent smaller forms are also pleasing to the eye. Today flower growers have given their preference to unpretentious Korean chrysanthemums strewn with joyful flowers.
Chrysanthemums are planted in borders, flower beds, in group plantings and along paths.
These cute flowers look like spring primroses.
Light and gentle, they captivate with their defenselessness the day before harsh winter, creating a contrast between the soft purity of the petals and the cold withering of nature.
This beauty is a classic of the genre in the autumn flower bed.
A wide variety of shapes and colors for autumn is a real gift from nature.
Throughout September, the aster will blaze with all the shades of the past summer: lilac, pink and violet flowers.
Dahlias
Great decoration summer cottage. They are shade-tolerant, grow on almost any type of soil, love moisture, but cannot tolerate excess moisture.
There are 6 main types of dahlias:
- peony-shaped,
- anemoids,
- needle-shaped,
- collar,
- spherical,
- nymphaeal.
The main difference is the shape, doubleness and size of the flowers, reaching 10-12 cm. Today, this amazingly beautiful plant has approximately 20,000 varieties.
Dahlias are heat-loving, so their flowering usually continues until the first cold weather, since even slight frosts have a detrimental effect on them.
Dahlias look impressive when decorating paths, colorful parterres and large group compositions against the backdrop of a lawn.
Rudbeckia hairy
Everyone knows these beautiful bright yellow and orange flowers with a dark brown core, very reminiscent of a large (5-6 cm) daisy. The plant has straight, elastic, rough stems 45-65 cm high and thick, rough, elongated leaves.
Rudbeckia blooms until frost, loves fertilized, moist soil, is shade-tolerant and has no special requirements care She's wonderful combined with coniferous shrubs, looks great against the backdrop of lawns and rockeries.
Zinnia graceful ("majors" or "majoriki")
This culture is also widely known among gardeners. The stems of zinnia are vigorous and erect, with hard fluff. The shape of the flowers depends on the species, varies from simple to double, and their dimensions reach 10 cm. Flowers have a wide range of colors and are characterized by their abundance.
Their choice for the garden is varied - it includes varieties of annual asters, zinnias, delphiniums and many others.
These annuals often grow not only in outdoor flowerpots, but also in window containers.
Zinnias love light and tolerate drought; they bloom until the start of frost, that is, until mid-September.
In damp weather conditions, the plant can quickly wither, but if you find a suitable place on the site, large zinnia inflorescences in bright colors will decorate the garden for a long time.
These autumn flowering plants are biennial, but are grown as annual crops. , known as brassica, reaches its peak in early autumn.
The tall leaves of the plant can have different widths, and can also be straight or wavy. Also, depending on the variety, their edges are trimmed with teeth and cuts of different depths.
Cabbage foliage can be one color or multi-colored, including shades of green and even red and purple. Usually, on the outside, the leaf is painted in one color - green, but several tones can be combined in the rosette.
To care for brassica, it is enough to remove weeds and loosen the soil. The amount of watering is affected by the amount of precipitation in summer. Cabbage tolerates temperatures down to -10°C, because in summer it accumulates a large amount of nutrients. Thanks to this, the plant blooms not only until November, but even in winter it will continue to decorate flower beds.
Delphinium (larkspur)
Depending on the species, the plant can be either annual or perennial. Its height varies between 0.4 - 2 meters. White, purple and blue delphinium flowers are collected in pyramidal inflorescences.
Larkspur should be planted in sunny areas and protected from drafts. On too hot days there is a risk of burns, so it is advisable to place the plant in a windless place where it will be in the shade for at least 2-3 hours a day.
In the middle zone it blooms from the second half of June to the end of July and in the fall. The delphinium will bloom again if its flower stalks are cut off after the end of the first flowering.
Eschscholzia (California poppy)
Eschscholzia flowers can be yellow, orange or pink. Outwardly, they resemble poppies, which is why the plant received its second name - California poppy.
Eschscholzia does not require complex care for continuous flowering. Watering is sufficient in very dry summers without rain. A large amount of moisture is not needed, because the flower loves dry soil.
Please note: although each flower of this plant lasts only 3-4 days, it still blooms all summer and until late autumn, because withered buds are immediately replaced with new ones.
The growing area should be open and well-lit, as the flowers open in sunny weather and during the hottest time of the day. It is also important to loosen the soil to ensure constant influx oxygen to the roots.
This annual is characterized by long flowering and a rich aroma from its decorative bell-shaped flowers.
It was for this specific smell that the datura was nicknamed dope. Currently, there are regular, double and semi-double forms of the plant.
Datura is not whimsical; it develops not in height, but in width. With abundant light, it has a lush bush; with sufficient care, it actively blooms until late autumn.
Important to know: in partial shade the plant is not as voluminous, and growing datura in the shade can lead to its death.
During the period of active development, large foliage evaporates a lot of moisture, so the planting needs to be watered abundantly. They also monitor the maintenance of ambient air humidity, because the leaves and buds of the plant may fall off if there is a lack of moisture. The soil must be drained and enriched with organic nutrients.
The spreading datura will cover empty areas after the flowering of perennial plants, which leave empty spaces already in July. You can lift creeping flowers by making a support from branches.
This late-blooming plant is found in many gardens due to its spherical, lush flowers. The inflorescences are colored purple, blue, pink and white.
Ageratum begins to bloom in early June in the middle zone, and in the southern regions - at the end of May. Active flowering continues until frost, but to increase it, the plant is planted in a sunny place. Only slight partial shade is permissible, but not more than 2 hours a day.
Ageratums prefer fertile soils through which moisture and air pass well. The plant should not be fertilized with humus. Only mineral fertilizers for annual flower crops are used as fertilizing.
Ageratum varieties differ in the richness of colors, shapes and dimensions of the bush. Due to its high decorative qualities, the plant is grown alone or in combination with zinnias, calendulas, marigolds, and rudbeckias.
Marigolds (tagetes)
In many areas you can find marigolds, also called tagetes. The small and decorative flowers of these annuals begin to bloom in June, and if proper care is followed, they last until late autumn.
To form lush bushes, Marigolds are pruned in summer. You also need to regularly loosen the soil and weed out weeds on time. Tagetes need oxygen, so they are not grown in dense soil.
Please note: If you do not sufficiently follow the recommendations for caring for marigolds, then in the fall bushes with dull flowers and thin foliage will remain in the flowerbed.
You can achieve active flowering by removing wilted buds. To feed these October plants it is better to use mineral mixtures. In the first half of summer, the soil is moistened abundantly.
No less famous among autumn flowers is helichrysum. Its inflorescences are colored bright colors: pink, yellow, red, orange.
These wildflowers are one of the most resilient plants, never fading even in autumn. Immortelle is not afraid of drought, heat and grows in poor soils lacking nutrients.
For planting, choose a sunny, slightly elevated area. Helichrysums look great in alpine slides and rockeries. The plant is often used for cutting, because when dried it is preserved for a long time. Thanks to this, the flower was nicknamed immortelle.
Iberis or peppercorn is usually a short grass that is used to decorate rockeries, alpine slides and borders. Purple, pink or white inflorescences of Iberis, collected in umbrella-shaped racemes, bloom in May and continue to bloom until late autumn.
With his long flowering plants do not require complex care. Since Iberis is a ground cover plant, it can be damaged by root rot.
To avoid this, bushes are planted among stones. This solution is not only practical, but also decorative. If desired, the garden can be decorated with bright plants not only in summer, but also in autumn. Many autumn views do not require labor-intensive care, which allows many gardeners to grow them in their dachas before the onset of cold weather.
Every home has indoor flowers that not only decorate it, but also delight with its presence. By choosing the right flowers, you can create a blooming island on your windowsill. all year round . Long-flowering, unpretentious plants give joy, good mood and are beneficial by purifying the air.
When growing flowers at home, of course I want their care to be minimal and their flowering to last as long as possible. There are many such plants and you can choose to purchase Clivia, Decembrist, Indoor gerbera or Saintpaulia, etc.
Decembrist
When selecting a plant, you need to pay attention to the requirements for growing conditions, because the duration of flowering and appearance flower.

At air temperatures below +16°C, begonia will not bloom. It loves bright, diffused light; in the bright sun, the leaves fade, the flowers fade, and begonia loses its decorative effect. Feeding to stimulate flowering should be given to begonias every 2 weeks, alternating organomineral with mineral fertilizers for flowering plants.
To create a full begonia bush and create more side shoots, you need to periodically cut off the tops of the shoots, using them for propagation.

During this period, the flower rests and gains strength. Give even unpretentious flowers a little attention and in return they will give you lush and long-lasting flowering.
Coltsfoot or Tussilago farfar is one of the earliest flowering perennial plants of the Asteraceae family. The first flowers appear early spring when the snow just starts to melt. The unpretentious plant grows on the banks of reservoirs, slopes of ravines, clay soils, in fields and even on roadsides.
Low brown stems appear in thawed areas when spring warmth is not yet felt. The first golden-yellow inflorescences begin to bloom in early April, but there are no green leaves at all. Flowering without leaves is one of the features of this unique plant.
Coltsfoot inflorescences are very sensitive to sunlight. Yellow baskets open in the morning and turn after the sun, and in cloudy, rainy weather and at night the inflorescences are closed. That is why people call them little sunflowers. Cheerful baskets delight the eye, awaken spring in the heart, and the plant is also an early honey plant. Bees collect nectar and pollen from flowers and then process them into honey. In May, flowering ends, and instead of bright flowers, achenes appear that resemble a tuft or parachute. The wind picks them up and carries them far from the mother plant. After this, the flowering shoot dries up and the stem fills up fresh juices, and after a while green leaves appear.
Summer leaves are completely different from spring inflorescences. The bright green leaves are smooth and cool on top, so they are often compared to a stepmother. The lower part of the leaf is covered with velvet fibers white that retain heat. This side is soft and warm, like a mother's touch. This is where the Russian name for the medicinal plant comes from.
A piece of history and features
Throughout the world, coltsfoot is known for its healing properties. Ancient ancestors squeezed the juice of the plant, mixed it with honey and took it as an antitussive. The dried leaves and inflorescences of the plant are still used to treat coughs, choking, toothache, to improve appetite and for other purposes. Fresh leaves Coltsfoot is applied to wounds, calluses, bruises, and the juice is dripped into the nose or gargled. Gather medicinal plant It should be kept away from roads and industrial facilities, and stored in dried form for no more than 2 years.
This unique plant grows almost everywhere. He can be found in Eastern Siberia, North America, on the territory Western Europe and even in Africa.
Dear flower growers! Help me identify the growth factor, I noticed it among my colleagues at work. They don’t know what it’s called; they jokingly called it “skeleton.” It really does look like it: small leaves are occasionally found on the bare green stem. I want to root it, but nothing works. I would look on the Internet to see how to handle it, but the word “skeleton” brings up a lot of things, but it’s all wrong.
M. (Orenburg)
Popularly, two plants are called “skeleton”: firstly, this (Hatiora salicornioides), also called “dancing bones cactus”, and, secondly, tirucalli spurge (Euphorbia tirucalli).
Judging by the photo, you are trying to tame spurge tirucalli. This comrade is originally from Africa. Today it is found in the Arabian Peninsula and the dry regions of India. In nature, this tree grows up to 10 meters in height. Leaves practically don’t grow on it, and it doesn’t need them. Green stems produce photosynthesis.
Like all spurges, they are poisonous. But monkeys eat its fruits and find them quite tasty. However, in home floriculture, spurge rarely blooms, and even less often it comes to fruit.
Thirukalli has recently been grown as a houseplant, but it is very active. Really, unusual look succulents add charm to both a city apartment and office space. But I would not recommend having him as a pet.
Euphorbia TIRUKALLI IS DANGEROUS FOR THE HUMAN BODY
Some people mistakenly believe that Euphorbia tirucalli is folk remedy from cancer. But this is not true at all. Numerous medical studies have shown that the plant is harmful to the human body.
Thus, spurge tirucalli suppresses the immune system, thereby contributing to the development of latent human diseases. Scientists were interested in the fact that in African countries, where this milky plant is used as medicine, people often suffer from Burkitt's lymphoma. It has been found that the population is often a carrier of the Epstein-Barr herpersvirus, which scientists believe is the cause of the development of Burkitt's lymphoma.
In addition, scientists have discovered that milkweed contains phorbol esters, which are also called “tumor promoters.” This means that in combination with a number of harmful factors (for example, the effects of carcinogens), the risk of malignant tumors increases.
CARE, BREEDING
But if you are convinced that you can follow all the precautions, I inform you that the plant is unpretentious. It is not difficult to grow. Care is the same as for all succulents: infrequent watering, the soil is air- and water-permeable, bright sunlight (but without fanaticism).
Propagated by cuttings. Having broken off a branch, put it in water for several hours so that the milky juice runs off, then dry it well, and now root it in a sand-earth mixture.
INTERESTING FACT
At the end of the 20th century in Brazil, the oil company Petrobras became interested in the research of Kelvin, who claimed that oil could be extracted from milkweed. He even calculated that from one acre of land on which tirucalli grows, 10-50 barrels of oil can be obtained. But how the matter ended is unknown; no other information about the project could be found.
For the first time, unusual and beautifully flowering plants began to be grown in pots or greenhouses during the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries.
