Autumn planting times are not suitable for all flowers.
We will look into a number of features of plants that are planted in winter.
What flowers to plant before winter
Let's start with the fact that flowers planted in winter should have a number of important features:
- ability to reproduce by self-seeding;
- short growing season,
- no need for additional stratification;
- frost resistance;
- short shelf life.
That is why winter sowing is considered the most favorable for bulbous plants. Also, during this period, you can divide the rhizomes of perennial flowers.
The autumn period is considered ideal for planting the following types of bulbous flowers:
- daffodils;
- tulips;
- muscari;
- imperial hazel grouse;
- ornamental onions;
- crocuses;
- hyacinths.
In addition to annuals, perennials are also planted in winter. These include aster, columbine, astilbe, loosestrife, delphinium, Carpathian bellflower, lavender, primrose, peony and phlox.
