Unpretentious hedge

It is no secret that many gardeners, passionate about growing fruits and vegetables, as they forget that the purpose of garden to please the eye, and not just to satiate our stomachs. And then there is the important detail. Important: as laid out plot of how the "inscribed" in the suburban landscape, the house and outbuildings, planted by the fence.

Lately the idea of green fence-the fence is growing. Indeed, you will agree that it is much nicer to have in front is not uniform the surface of the fence, even if made of the most expensive materials and beautiful green wall. Hedges not only improve the garden, but also protect us from strangers, not always benevolent views, as well as visits of uninvited guests – both two-legged and four-legged. In addition, they significantly reduce the noise from the carriageway of the street and act as a dust curtain.

Yes, and the site hedges can also be very helpful. They can be used to visually divide the garden into separate functional areas, highlighting, for example, the front part near the house, or to hide unsightly economic structures. This technique is often used in modern landscape design.



Plants for hedges, which do not require special care

The West is very popular sheared hedges. They are well "organized" garden, but their maintenance requires more effort, and this will agree, is not in our nature. The Russian people prefer a hedge that does not require special care. In this case, it is possible to plant shrubs that retains its shape growth and do not require regular cutting.

For high fences suit different videoarchiv and barbarisov, yellow acacia caragana. A medium-height green wall will create a cotoneaster brilliant and in the spring, kinds of spirea – Spiraea van gutta, gray, arguta, dubravkina. Well, low green hedges, the borders can be done Izmailskogo tea (cinquefoil), barberry Thunberg and low species Spiraea – Spiraea Japanese, Bumalda. These spirea is not only compact, but also were late flowering: blooms in late summer — when almost no flowering shrubs. A particularly good variety of Japanese Spiraea "Shirobana", effectively changing the color of flowers from white to pink and crimson red. And cultivar "Golden Princess" — "the Golden Princess" — a very beautiful yellow leaves. The shrub is similar to the cute yellow ball.

In the South of Russia a very popular plant for low hedges is boxwood. More recently all publications on gardening together wrote that for an average strip of Russia, this plant absolutely does not fit. With this we can agree, but only partly. Boxwood winters in the middle lane, but freezes above the level of snow cover. If you want to grow a big Bush of boxwood, in the suburbs, you are unlikely to succeed. However, for a low green hedge, this plant is quite suitable. Of course, every spring it will have to be cut, removing the tops of the shoots, but the bushes are thick and lush.published
