Plants with white flowers: from ground covers to tall trees. Red-leaved trees are favorites of summer cottages in royal garb. What is the name of the tree that blooms with white flowers?

White acacia - a beautiful tree with an openwork crown and white clusters of flowers that are fragrant during the flowering period is not a genuine acacia.

Real acacias of the genus Acacia, heat-loving plants, are found in nature more often in the savannas of Africa or Australia, and here, perhaps, only in botanical gardens. The tree that we used to call white acacia should actually be called Robinia or false acacia. It belongs to the legume family

Acacia became the mascot of Paris and the symbol of Odessa.

Interesting: In the center of Paris, under the walls of Notre Dame, among the concrete supports, a 400-year-old Robinia, grown from those seeds that were brought from the New World, is still blooming.

In Ancient Egypt, acacia was considered the “tree of life.” The Egyptians believed that the god Horus came from the acacia tree. The Bible also mentions acacia. According to the texts of the Holy Scriptures, Noah's Ark was made from acacia wood. In this regard, it is interesting to remember that ships were actually built from acacia wood in Ancient Egypt.

Acacia is considered the tree that gives birth to life. She promotes procreation, and both spouses ask her for relief from infertility and the birth of a child. Girls use acacia flowers to tell fortunes about marriage. You need to pick an acacia brush, at home, without looking, tear off part of the inflorescence and put it under your pillow and wish for a wish whether you will get married this year. In the morning, take out part of the inflorescence and count the flowers. If there are an even number of them, then the wish will come true. If not, you'll have to wait.

Yellow acacia - a well-known and very common shrub or small tree from the legume family. Under natural conditions, it is sometimes found in the form of entire thickets in the forests of Western and Eastern Siberia. There is especially a lot of it on the slopes of the Altai mountains.

Yellow acacia flowers symbolize the Sun and rebirth.

Acacia pink - the undisputed leader among its sisters in the beauty of flowers! It is also called silk and, looking at the beautiful pink-lilac delicate flowers collected in large inflorescences, you begin to understand why in all the most ancient civilizations acacia was revered as the feminine principle.

They are so tender, so beautiful and sophisticated! The graceful pink petals of acacia flowers exude a silvery glow, similar to that characteristic of expensive types of natural silk. Rich color, constant grace, tenderness - this is what excites us so much about the blooming pink acacia.

Seed propagation in the garden strawberries we are used to, unfortunately, leads to the appearance of less productive plants and weaker bushes. But another type of these sweet berries, alpine strawberries, can be successfully grown from seeds. Let's learn about the main advantages and disadvantages of this crop, consider the main varieties and features of agricultural technology. The information presented in this article will help you decide whether it is worth allocating a place for it in the berry garden.

Often, when we see a beautiful flower, we instinctively bend down to smell its fragrance. All fragrant flowers can be divided into two large groups: nocturnal (pollinated by moths) and daytime, whose pollinators are mainly bees. Both groups of plants are important for the florist and designer, because we often walk around the garden during the day and relax in our favorite corners when evening comes. We are never overwhelmed by the scent of our favorite fragrant flowers.

Many gardeners consider pumpkin to be the queen of garden beds. And not only because of its size, variety of shapes and colors, but also for its excellent taste, healthy qualities and rich harvest.

Scotch eggs - incredibly delicious! Try to prepare this dish at home, there is nothing difficult in preparation. Scotch eggs are a hard-boiled egg wrapped in minced meat, breaded in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and deep-fried. For frying, you will need a frying pan with a high side, and if you have a deep fryer, then that’s just great - even less hassle. You will also need oil for frying so as not to smoke in the kitchen. Choose farm eggs for this recipe.

One of the most amazing large-flowered tubs of Dominican Cubanola fully justifies its status as a tropical miracle. Warm-loving, slow-growing, with huge and in many ways unique bells of flowers, Cubanola is a fragrant star with a complex character. It requires special conditions in the rooms. But for those who are looking for exclusive plants for their interior, a better (and more chocolatey) candidate for the role of indoor giant cannot be found.

Chickpea curry with meat is a hearty hot dish for lunch or dinner, inspired by Indian cuisine. This curry is quick to prepare but requires some prep. The chickpeas must first be soaked in plenty of cold water for several hours, preferably overnight; the water can be changed several times. It is also better to leave the meat overnight in the marinade so that it turns out juicy and tender. Then you should boil the chickpeas until tender and then prepare the curry according to the recipe.

Rhubarb cannot be found in every garden plot. It's a pity. This plant is a storehouse of vitamins and can be widely used in cooking. What is not prepared from rhubarb: soups and cabbage soup, salads, delicious jam, kvass, compotes and juices, candied fruits and marmalade, and even wine. But that's not all! The large green or red rosette of leaves of the plant, reminiscent of burdock, acts as a beautiful background for annuals. It is not surprising that rhubarb can also be seen in flower beds.

Today, the trend is to experiment with unusual combinations and non-standard colors in the garden. For example, plants with black inflorescences have become very fashionable. All black flowers are original and specific, and for them it is important to be able to select suitable partners and location. Therefore, this article will not only introduce you to an assortment of plants with slate-black inflorescences, but will also teach you the intricacies of using such mystical plants in garden design.

3 delicious sandwiches - a cucumber sandwich, a chicken sandwich, a cabbage and meat sandwich - a great idea for a quick snack or for an outdoor picnic. Just fresh vegetables, juicy chicken and cream cheese and a little seasoning. There are no onions in these sandwiches; if you wish, you can add onions marinated in balsamic vinegar to any of the sandwiches; this will not spoil the taste. Having quickly prepared snacks, all that remains is to pack a picnic basket and head to the nearest green lawn.

Depending on the varietal group, the age of seedlings suitable for planting in open ground is: for early tomatoes - 45-50 days, average ripening periods - 55-60 and late ones - at least 70 days. When planting tomato seedlings at a younger age, the period of its adaptation to new conditions is significantly extended. But success in obtaining a high-quality tomato harvest also depends on carefully following the basic rules for planting seedlings in open ground.

Unpretentious “background” plants of sansevieria do not seem boring to those who value minimalism. They are better suited than other indoor decorative foliage stars for collections that require minimal care. Stable decorativeness and extreme hardiness in only one species of sansevieria are also combined with compactness and very rapid growth - rosette sansevieria Hana. The squat rosettes of their tough leaves create striking clusters and patterns.

One of the brightest months of the garden calendar pleasantly surprises with the balanced distribution of favorable and unfavorable days for working with plants according to the lunar calendar. In June, you can garden and garden throughout the entire month, while the unfavorable periods are very short and still allow you to do useful work. There will be optimal days for sowing and planting, for pruning, for a pond, and even for construction work.

Meat with mushrooms in a frying pan is an inexpensive hot dish that is suitable for a regular lunch and for a holiday menu. Pork will cook quickly, veal and chicken too, so this is the preferred meat for the recipe. Mushrooms - fresh champignons, in my opinion, are the best choice for homemade stew. Forest gold - boletus, boletus and other delicacies are best prepared for the winter. Boiled rice or mashed potatoes are ideal as a side dish.

I love ornamental shrubs, especially unpretentious ones and with interesting, non-trivial foliage colors. I have various Japanese spirea, Thunberg barberries, black elderberry... And there is one special shrub, which I will tell you about in this article - viburnum leaf. To fulfill my dream of a low-maintenance garden, it is perhaps ideal. At the same time, it is capable of greatly diversifying the picture in the garden, from spring to autumn.

Now let’s admire the luxurious blooming of southern tropical trees. Blooming gardens and parks of warm countries are a magnificent and stunning sight! And strange flowers and trees that we have never seen before bloom here. They bloom not only in spring, but also in summer and autumn...

The rest of the colors of the rainbow - to be continued

A garden in which white flowers set the tone, framed by delicate green foliage, has a special charm.

White color, as a symbol of purity, can bring a touch of tenderness and solemnity to the atmosphere. Acting as an optical mixture of all colors, white accumulates a rainbow within itself, filling the space with strength and extraordinary lift. Landscape design in white tones creates the effect of visually increasing space, bringing a feeling of lightness and freedom. In this article we will look at which white flowers to choose for the garden in order to create a harmonious landscape and make the shaded corners “shine”.

• One- and two-year-olds

The idea of ​​decorating gardens in one color palette is not new. Modern designers, who set trends in gardening, only continue the endeavors of creators who created picturesque plant compositions back in the Middle Ages.

Gardens built on the principle of monochromatic colors were widely accepted hundreds of years ago. In the play of halftones and shades, the main role was played by the sizes and shapes of plants.

Compositions of white flowers look especially great during twilight, when the last rays are reflected on the light petals.

In the 16th-17th centuries in ancient India and East Asian countries, such gardens were called “lunar”. They got their name due to the fact that at dusk they created amazing pictures of white silhouettes of flowers.

To emphasize the whiteness of the delicate flowers and enhance the reflective effect, the plant compositions in the garden were complemented by stones coated with white paint, artificial ponds and sea sand sparkling in the moonlight.

One of the most famous gardens in the world, in which everything is subordinated to a single color, is Sissinghurst White Garden in England. It was created at the beginning of the 20th century, but still remains a role model that inspires many gardeners to create their own “living” masterpieces.

Walking through such a garden is a pleasure: tens of thousands of graceful white flowers of different shapes and sizes make this place especially romantic

To decorate the garden, varieties with silver-white edging of leaves and flowers of various shades of white were used. Its creator, the English writer Vita Sackville-West, managed to so skillfully select an assortment of flowers of the same shade that the composition pleases with a riot of flowering throughout the year.

There is nothing difficult about bringing such beauty to life in your garden. You just need to decide which flowers with white flowers to prefer and how to create compositions so that the plants, without competing with each other, reflect the general mood.

Choosing herbaceous plants in white tones

The White Garden is beautiful at any time of the year. You just need to choose the right plants to decorate your site, taking into account the assortment available in your arsenal and the climatic conditions prevailing in your area.

One- and two-year-olds

In the plant world, white is not uncommon. We see it every spring, enjoying the flowering of trees, under the canopy of which picturesque meadows dotted with snowdrops are hidden.

Primroses are the first to greet the fine days, basking in the gentle spring rays: snow-white crocuses and miniature double galanthus bloom like bright stars on the bare ground.

A little later, the bulbous primroses will be replaced by delicate lilies of the valley, decorated with miniature light bells, and cute Alba primroses.

In spring, alyssum, which is also known as marine lobularia, will be an elegant decoration for a rock garden or alpine slide. An unpretentious, low-growing annual with small oval leaves and tiny flowers collected in dense clusters, it will delight you with flowering throughout the growing season.

Alyssum belonging to the Tetra schneereiben and Carpet of snow varieties looks unusually beautiful, the caps of which gently sway when the wind blows.

Having planted tulip bulbs in the fall, you can enjoy the beauty of these marvelous flowers in the spring months. Among tulips, the petals of which are painted in white shades, the following varieties are famous for their special decorativeness: White Parrot, White Marv, White Triumphator, fringed Daytona.

In early May, entire glades will bloom with ground covers: perennial carnation and Caucasian arabis. Against the background of delicate spring greenery, the Turkish carnation will look interesting, the fringed cut petals of which spread a subtle, delicate aroma throughout the garden.

Among the varieties of Turkish carnations, many gardeners especially love Albus or Dianthus plumarius for their decorativeness and ease of care.

Ground covers will pass the baton of flowering to herbaceous peonies and irises. Against the background of green foliage, handsome irises with corrugated flowers of the following varieties look unusually impressive: Jayceetee Grosvenor, Arctic Express, Sword-shaped, Mesmerizer Byers.

Beloved by many gardeners, violet is famous for its variety of shades. But thanks to the efforts of breeders, monochromatic varieties, for example, “White Crystal,” can also be found on sale.

Ageratum will delight you with flowering from July to October. Decorated with dense fluffy inflorescences, it will retain the color of the flowers until the first frost.

Floral arrangements in white tones look great against the backdrop of silver and blue-gray conifers with their needle-like foliage

As a background for a flower arrangement, you can safely choose: thuja, spruce, brilliant cotoneaster. Silvery conifers can highlight the cool elegance and sophistication of white-flowering plants.

Perennial flowering species

The middle of summer is rightfully given over to the power of blooming roses. You can safely dedicate the entire garden to roses, and it will only benefit from this: a picture featuring these unusually beautiful flowers turns out picturesque, bright and memorable.

Roses look equally impressive both in the design of flower beds and borders, and as hedges dividing the area into zones

White roses look very beautiful as elements of vertical gardening. Climbing roses can be planted on trellises, arches and pergolas, creating green covered arcades that give a pleasant feeling of security. The following varieties are perfect for decorating alpine slides: Swany, Kent, Sea Foam.

Perfect for a white garden:

• Bourbon roses Boule de Neige with fragrant full-double flowers;
• polyanthus roses Yvonne Rabier with medium-sized flowers;
• musk roses Trier and Prosperity with fragrant flowers in creamy white shades.

In the carpet flower garden, be sure to plant chickweed, chickweed and saxifrage. Ground cover varieties with miniature flowers look advantageous in combination with decorative white gravel.

When forming a monochrome flower bed, focus on the range of textures in the plant composition. Let the flower garden be filled with plants that differ noticeably in the shape of their leaves.

If, when creating a variegated flower bed, such texture will go unnoticed, then in a monochromatic flower garden it will catch the eye, like a “3D” effect

Aconites and large-flowered daisies can transform even the most inconspicuous corners in the garden. These amazing crops are ideal for creating landscape gardens with a forest character, which are characterized by mystery and mystery.

Daisies will bloom in the summer months, and large aconite inflorescences will decorate the garden with majestic “candles” at the end of the season.

Don't forget to complement the flower garden with cute daisies with pompom baskets of The pearl variety and fragrant Snow ball petunias

Petunias are so beautiful in themselves that when creating a picturesque landscape design, you don’t need to be particularly sophisticated in coming up with complex compositions. Plants will look great both in flower beds paved with stones and along fences.

By choosing hanging varieties, you can decorate hanging pots with flower garlands. Floral fragrant “clouds” will be a worthy decoration for a gazebo, veranda or terrace.

The grayish shades of the openwork foliage of Cineraria maritima, lovingly referred to by gardeners as “silver dust”, will help to dilute the white “blanket” in the flower garden.

Among the popular varieties of seaside cineraria, it is worth highlighting: Cirrus with oval leaves and Silver Dust with carved foliage. The silvery tint and carved leaves of the plant can favorably emphasize the color of the flowers and set off the greenery that frames them.

The beautiful lilies deserve special attention. Royal trumpet lilies, Asian and oriental hybrids can easily tolerate mid-latitude conditions.

Lilium candidum is one of the oldest species of white lily, to which Hippocrates attributed divine origin and healing properties.

Airy snow-white clouds in a sunny flower bed form numerous gypsophila flowers. For the lightness and weightlessness of the miniature, bead-like flowers, gardeners nicknamed the ground cover “the bride’s veil.” Among the decorative varieties, the most attractive are Bristol Fairy with double white flowers and Monstrosa.

The branched stems of low-growing gypsophila, reaching a height of 20-50 cm, are decorated with paniculate inflorescences of light shades, framed by graceful foliage

Lush flowering in white tones in the summer months will be ensured by:

• calimeris notched;
• bellflower Grandiflora Alba;
• catnip Nepeta x faassenii;
• delphinium Casa Blanca;
• Silver Queen wormwood.

With the onset of autumn, you can maintain your palette using the “queens of the autumn ball” - chrysanthemums. It is believed that unusually beautiful flowers can prolong life. But this perennial is revered among gardeners for its ability to revive the garden in the autumn, making it play with new colors even when there is already snow on the ground.

According to Chinese legend, the reigning monarch of ancient times was able to live for more than seven hundred years thanks to the dew from chrysanthemums he drank.

The perennial aster is loved by many gardeners for its delicate flowers, which, like the strokes of an artist’s brush, paint the garden in light shades. Its snow-white hemispheres look great not only in a flowerbed, but also in a bouquet. The varieties of tall aster Agleni, whose branches are abundantly strewn with small white flowers, and Weisser Schirm deserve special attention.

The delicate panicles of astilbe will be a worthy complement to the delicate flowers of the aster. Spreading branches with spectacular inflorescences feel comfortable even with slight shading.

Among the most famous varieties, it is worth highlighting “Deutschland” with white airy inflorescences and Schtrausenfeder with fluffy diamond-shaped panicles

In late summer, an excellent addition to a white garden will be:

• Japanese anemone Wirbelwind;
• Phlox paniculata White Admiral;
• yarrow Achillea decolorans;
• Echinacea purpurea Alba.

All of the proposed types of crops are famous for their abundance of flowering and ease of care. Therefore, it will not be difficult to compose compositions adhering to the flowering dates. In case of difficulties, you can always play it safe by adding variegated leaves to your compositions. Heucheras, comfrey, hostas, and lungworts can successfully cope with this task.

The white-edged hosta can become the “princess” of any flower bed, giving the composition a touch of sophistication and elegance.

Hostas forming airy “cushions” will visually soften the transitions between colors, bringing harmony to the composition. Variegated foliage interspersed with blue, gray and silver will highlight the whiteness of the delicate flower petals.

Shrubs and trees with white flowers

In addition to herbaceous crops, you should definitely use trees and shrubs in the design of a white garden. Successfully planted tall plants can “brighten” the most shaded corners of the garden.

Weigela undoubtedly leads in this subgroup. An ornamental shrub with tubular buds delights connoisseurs of true beauty. Among the varieties with white color, Candida, Black and White are especially beautiful. The shrub can grow well in light shade conditions, reaching a height of 1.5-2.5 meters.

Weigela with hanging branches is decorated with dozens of tassels of inflorescences that bloom in early May and decorate the garden for the next 20 days

Flowering ornamental shrubs are especially pleasing to bloom in the first month of summer, as if giving the herbaceous crops the opportunity to rest and gain strength to bloom to their fullest.

From spring to summer you imperceptibly pass under the aroma of blossoming lilacs, which creates a special cozy and romantic atmosphere in the garden. The shrub is ideal for forming hedges and creating multi-level plant compositions. Lilac will look good in tandem with herbaceous peonies, which will bloom at the same time.

Integral features of a summer garden in white colors will be paniculate and tree-like hydrangeas, the blooming “balls” of which can transform even the most inconspicuous corner

Singing an ode to magnificently flowering trees, I would like to highlight the already beloved bird cherry with its immense openwork, almonds and jasmine strewn with snow-white “stars,” and blackberries with textured flowers on arched shoots.

In a monochrome garden, be sure to plant a snowberry. Berries decorating the hanging branches of a bare bush will add their bright note to the overall symphony of the white garden.

Snowberry bushes, dotted with white, waxy berries, like beads, appear in all their glory with the onset of cold weather.

The compositional completeness of a garden in white tones will be given by decorative elements selected to match the monocolor: garden figures, benches, improvised mills and wells. The romanticism of the atmosphere created in the garden will be emphasized by the filling of white crushed stone.

White flowers are an example of unobtrusive elegance. There cannot be too many of them; they coexist well with other plants, including flowering ones. These include herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees. Some of them will definitely have a place in the garden.

All plants with white flowers can be roughly divided according to the size of the flowers, the type of rhizome and the type: herbaceous, shrubs and trees. All of them can either successfully complement each other or be the center of a landscape composition.

Small flowers only 5 cm in diameter with 4 rounded petals and yellow stamens appear at the end of May. The lawn stops blooming only in autumn, for which it is loved by many gardeners. But in dry summers the period is shortened, and the plant retires in August. If you prune a lawn bush, the flowering will last until the onset of stable frosts - in the middle zone this happens only in October.

Lily of the valley

A popular low-growing plant with white bells. It is an unpretentious perennial with wide lance-shaped leaves. It blooms in May and June.

Many of the bulbous plants have beautiful white flowers. In combination with feathery leaves, they look very impressive.

Whiteflower

Externally, the white flower looks like a snowdrop, but its flowers with 6 equal petals are larger. The height of many plant species reaches 40 cm. Although many bulbous plants prefer spring to bloom, some varieties of white flowers will delight the eye in summer and even in autumn. One of the advantages of the plant is that it grows well in shady corners.

Perhaps the most popular bulbous plant used in flower beds. They received such recognition for their early flowering and unpretentiousness: they do not require special care. The exception is hybrid species, which are more capricious.

Tulips

They can compete with narcissists in popularity. They have approximately 10,000 varieties, including white-flowering ones. Their height ranges from just 10 cm to an impressive 1 m. Tulips bloom in open ground in spring.

Hyacinths

Hyacinths gained their fame not only for the beauty of small flowers collected in brushes, but also for their unique sweetish aroma. These are low plants, the tallest species of which reach 30 cm. Unlike daffodils and tulips, they are more demanding of heat; Therefore, the bulb is planted in sunny areas. White hyacinths are the embodiment of spring grace.

Lilies

Of course, speaking of bulbous plants, one cannot fail to mention lilies. Large flowers look good both in a flower bed and as a cut flower. They have many fantasy hybrids, including those painted white. The flowering time of lilies varies, usually occurring in June and July.

Bulbous plants will take their rightful place in any area. Moreover, many of them bloom when other inhabitants of the garden are just gaining strength after hibernation.
