Be beautiful throughout the summer season.
Easy to care for.
Frost-resistant, able to withstand our difficult winters.

Winter-hardy, beautifully flowering shrubs

Below are the names and characteristics of just such ornamental shrubs: frost-resistant, unpretentious and beautifully flowering.

Many shrubs have proven themselves to be winter-hardy, undemanding and at the same time very decorative in our climate. I’ll tell you about the most popular ones, which can be planted in almost all regions of our country.

Derain white

Famous for its brightly colored red bark. There is a form with large green leaves, which become multi-colored by autumn, and a more compact turf with white-edged leaves. To ensure that the tree bark is always bright, the bushes are pruned short every year, leaving stumps of shoots - a few centimeters above the soil level. With this formation, the bush forms expanding thickets.

Shrub height from one and a half to two meters.
Blooms in early summer.
Derain is exceptionally frost-resistant, decorative and unpretentious in all respects.
Grows in any soil and tolerates heat and shade well.
Suitable for planting in the background of a plot or along a fence, as well as for hedges.

This type of turf is especially beautiful in the fall.

This is a type of tree with green leaves that turn burgundy in autumn.

And this is variegated turf.

The leaves of this plant remain painted with a white pattern all summer.

This shrub is quite suitable for creating hedges.

Derain grows quickly and in order for the hedge to be always neat, it will have to be carefully looked after.

This is how the turf blooms.

The plant can be formed into either a lush bush or a small tree.

Derain does not lose its decorative effect even in winter.

Well, where else can you find a bush with such original, red shoots?

Deciduous barberries

They are distinguished by enviable winter hardiness and are easy to care for. The color of the leaves can be yellow, green, purple, red. Barberries are suitable for any fertile soil, open space or partial shade. They are easy to trim, but you don’t have to trim them, limiting yourself to removing damaged and excess branches in the spring.

The height of different types and varieties varies from 60 cm to 2 m.
An extremely unpretentious, frost-resistant shrub. Grows in shade, sun and almost any soil. The colors of the leaves are striking in their diversity.
The application is universal, from planting low-growing varieties on hills to creating hedges. It can serve as both a background and an edge; it looks beautiful on a green lawn.

Barberry hedge

Picturesque and practical hedges are made from barberry, but we must remember that this shrub is terribly prickly and not particularly pleasant to work with. Read more about using barberry in garden design

Spirea

Almost all spirea are fast-growing, frost-resistant shrubs, unpretentious and profusely flowering. There are two groups of spirea - spring-flowering and summer-flowering. In spring-blooming species, such as Ash Spiraea, the drooping branches are entirely decorated with tiny white flowers. These spirea bloom once. In spring-flowering spireas, old and weak branches are cut out after flowering.

Summer-flowering spirea are characterized by long flowering. Pink (various shades) flowers are usually collected in flat spherical or spike-shaped inflorescences. Of the summer-flowering spireas, interesting is the Boumalda spirea (height 60 cm), blooming with graceful, carmine-pink flat inflorescences. The Goldflame variety has young leaves that are yellow and orange, so the bush looks very elegant in spring.

Varieties of Japanese spirea (height 60 cm) are also very interesting. For example, the Crispa variety is distinguished by very decorative bright flowers.

The height of the bushes, depending on the variety, is from 0.5 m to 2 m.
If you select spring-flowering and summer-flowering varieties, flowering can continue almost throughout the spring and summer.
Spiraea does not require fertile soil. Grows quickly in both sun and partial shade. Most spirea are winter-hardy and do not need shelter even in frosty winters.
These shrubs are not only decorative, but also have a wide variety of sizes, bush shapes, leaf colors and different flowering times. Thanks to these qualities, you can decorate the garden with only spirea.

Spiraea Vangutta.

Such tall shrubs are suitable for single plantings or for growing in hedges.

You can create such a picturesque corner by planting spirea with hostas and juniper.

Spiraea japonica

The low-growing Japanese spirea makes elegant borders. It also looks appropriate in rockeries.

Hydrangea

Tree hydrangea, a shrub of North American origin, proved to be the most winter-hardy. Other species (originally from China and Japan) are less frost-resistant and more difficult to care for.

Tree hydrangea is common in our gardens, but for some reason everyone wants to see plants with blue, pink or even reddish inflorescences in their gardens. Such hydrangeas, of course, are spectacular, but more capricious, although among them there are varieties that some gardeners successfully grow in the northern regions.

But if you haven't grown hydrangea in your garden, start with tree hydrangea - an easy-to-care, showy shrub with huge caps of white flowers.

Hydrangea paniculata grows well in the harsh regions of Russia, a very beautiful wintering shrub up to three meters high (ours does not reach such a height) with a dense spherical crown. The inflorescence is a wide-pyramidal panicle 15-30 cm long and 30 cm wide. The flowers are white, turning red in autumn.

The height of the bushes is up to two meters.
Blooms from mid-summer.
Hydrangeas are extremely moisture-loving, tolerate shade well, and love well-drained, fertile, acidic soil. Therefore, peat is added when planting. The soil can be acidified with iron sulfate.
Hydrangeas are planted as single bushes or in groups. The plant goes well with other coniferous and deciduous ornamental shrubs.

Such a picturesque shrub is sure to attract attention.

Cinquefoil shrub

Deciduous shrubs, prostrate or compact. The bush-like forms of cinquefoil have three names at once: Kuril tea, bush cinquefoil and five-leaf plant. Cinquefoil is made attractive by the abundance of small flowers. The most common is the form with yellow flowers.

The flowers are solitary or in a few racemes or umbellate inflorescences, medium-sized. The plant's bright green, small carved foliage is also decorative. Cinquefoils do not tolerate dry air well.

Bushes one to one and a half meters high.
The shrub blooms for a very long time - almost from the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn.
Cinquefoils are photophilous, although they tolerate slight partial shade, are quite drought-resistant, and require rich soils, which must be moderately moist.
Winter-hardy: species forms can withstand forty-degree frosts, varieties are less tolerant of low temperatures.
Cinquefoil is suitable for creating borders and low hedges, looks elegant in single and group plantings, and combines harmoniously with coniferous plants.

Here is such a neat bush of Potentilla fruticosa.

Cinquefoil tolerates clipping well and makes colorful hedges and borders.

Bladderwort viburnum

Large, frost-resistant shrub. Both of its forms - both with golden and purple leaves - are always decorative: in the spring, when the leaves bloom, during flowering (it blooms with white corymbose inflorescences) and after it, when clusters of red fruits are formed.

The height of the bushes, depending on the variety, is from one to three meters.
Flowering in early summer, for 20 days.
Bladderwort is unpretentious, drought-resistant and shade-tolerant, but it is better to plant in full sun so that the leaves retain their bright color.
Suitable for tall hedges and single plantings.

Diabolo bladderwort.

These are the different types of vesicles. There are shrubs with different leaf colors.

Bladderwort Luteus.

Snowberry

Snowberries come in white and pink. If you are interested in the most cold-resistant shrubs, then plant white snowberry; it can easily tolerate even the coldest winters.

Over time, it grows strongly and can grow in any conditions, both in the open sun and in the dense shade of trees. The shrub is valued for its many large, decorative, white marble-like fruits that form in the fall.

It lends itself well to pruning; bushes are thinned out in early spring and trimmed in summer.

It grows up to 2.5 meters wide and 1.5 meters high.
Snowberry grows on any soil, prefers a sunny place. Minimal care: the plant is drought-resistant, does not require fertilizing, can easily tolerate heat, and is not susceptible to diseases and pests.
With its white fruits it looks good on dark greenery: on the lawn, against the backdrop of conifers.

Snowberry hedges look elegant and require very little maintenance.

Ornamental shrubs for summer cottages with average winter hardiness

The plants described below, although they are not particularly frost-resistant, do not require special shelter for the winter. In most cases, simply covering the bushes with snow is enough.

Deytsia

If the action is given room, in June it will be covered with small flowers. The color of the flowers (and they can be both double and non-double) varies from white to intense pink.

In our climate, Deutzia rough is considered the most unpretentious. It blooms with white and pink flowers. It is not very demanding on the soil; it grows well wherever water does not stagnate. Adapts to both sun and partial shade. Faded branches are pruned after flowering. Old branches are cut down to the base.

Most varieties of deutia do not exceed 120-170 cm in height.
Flowering in spring and summer (depending on variety)
The shrub is easy to care for; drought-resistant and not susceptible to diseases and pests. In winter, it is advisable to press the branches to the ground (at -25º the buds freeze slightly)
Deutia makes picturesque, unformed hedges. You can plant a mixborder in the background or cover the base of tall bushes.

Beautiful deutzia.

Planting deutia hedges in the northern regions is not recommended. Still, this shrub is not winter-hardy enough for such purposes.

In the southern regions, deutzia is quite suitable for creating hedges

Keria japonica

An unpretentious shrub that blooms annually in April-May with yellow flowers. May bloom again.

The non-double form is very elegant: slender, slightly drooping branches, reaching a length of one and a half meters, yellow flowers, similar to large buttercup flowers. And after flowering, the bush looks lovely, thanks to its very beautiful bright green leaves, similar to young birch leaves.

The height of the bushes is up to two meters.

Keria is distinguished by early and bright flowering.

This plant can also be grown in pots. Of course, the size of the bush in this case will be much more modest.

Keria can also be grown on the balcony.

Weigela

When in bloom, it is the most beautiful of all the shrubs listed above. But to show off its drooping branches in all its glory, it requires a lot of space. Loves fertile soil and annual pruning, but is generally unpretentious. Immediately after flowering, branches with faded flowers are shortened.

Weigela Variegata is more compact and restrained in growth - a bush up to 120 cm high with pale pink flowers and yellow-edged leaves.

Weigels do not like to grow in the wind. When planting, it is necessary to maintain a distance between seedlings of at least two meters.

On average, the height of weigela is 1.5 - 2 meters.
It blooms in May-June with pink, white or ruby-red tubular flowers. Prone to re-blooming.
Weigela grows in any soil, in direct sun and partial shade.
The most frost-resistant varieties that winter well both in Siberia and in the Moscow region: “Alba”, “Striatum”, “Shtyriaka”, “Bristol ruby”.
Considering the high decorative value of this shrub, it is usually planted in the foreground: at the entrance to the house, along the paths or on the lawn.

Weigela will harmoniously fit into any corner of the garden.

Weigela Red Prince

Chaenomeles (Japanese quince)

A very common shrub because it can grow on any soil, both in the sun and in the shade. It blooms brightly in spring and bears golden, fragrant fruits in autumn. The bushes do not need pruning: they are thinned out occasionally.

The diameter of Chaenomeles flowers is 3 - 5 cm.

It should be noted that weigela, deutzia, and kerria can have severely frozen branches in severe winters. But nothing bad will happen: the bushes grow quickly.

Of all the listed assortments, I love summer spireas, weigelas, vesicles and barberries most of all for their beautiful and long flowering, high decorative value throughout the season

Shrubs should be placed in accordance with their growth and ability to grow in breadth.

About the rules for pruning ornamental shrubs

All of the plants listed are not rare; they are quite easy to acquire.

An important role in shaping the landscape of a personal plot is played by a competent combination of plants: annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees with varied foliage and beautiful inflorescences. A properly selected assortment of plants will delight the eye from early spring to late autumn.

The topic of today's conversation will be beautiful flowering shrubs, with the help of which you can not only diversify the landscape, divide the territory into zones, but also bring joy and celebration to it.

When planning to plant shrubs on a site, you should take into account the height and width of an adult plant, so that it does not happen that low-growing specimens end up in the “shadow” of taller ones, and their beauty will be almost unnoticeable. Although, of course, you can shape the crown of plants using garden shears.

Flowering shrubs for the garden - spring

As soon as the snow melts and the first rays of spring begin to warm the earth, it’s time to bloom forsythia (forsythia) , which, like a light, opens its yellow flowers even before leaves appear on its branches. Forsythia was named after the Scottish botanist William Forsyth. Plant height is from 1 m to 3 m.

Forsythia belongs to the olive family. As soon as flowering reaches its final stage, foliage and young shoots appear. The plant is very popular in Europe; some types of forsythia are frost-resistant, therefore suitable for growing in central Russia.

Forsythia will take the baton of flowering magnolia star - a low deciduous shrub, native to Japan, reaching a height of 2.5 m, with white flowers emitting a pleasant delicate aroma, which appear in the same way as forsythia before foliage. The shrub feels great in the European part of Russia.

More frost resistant Magnolia Siebold and Kobus – blooms in early June.

In southern regions with warmer climates and mild winters, a greater variety of magnolias are found in the form of ornamental shrubs or trees, with flowers ranging from white to deep pink. Most popular in gardening construction magnolia lilyflower - an unusually beautiful tree during the flowering period.

Mid-May – flowering time spirea Grefshein — a small shrub up to 1.5 m high, with snow-white flowers collected in numerous inflorescences located along the entire stem. With hanging stems, the crown looks very openwork. The shrub is light-loving, drought-resistant, and not picky about soil.

Chaenomeles "Japanese quince" - a very beautiful, unpretentious shrub of the Rosaceae family, eye-catching. Flowering period - late April, early May. Color range – white, pink, orange, red.

You can plant a low-growing specimen in an open space, or in a rock garden among stones. In the third year, the bush begins to bear fruit; the fruits are yellow, similar to small apples, edible and very useful. Branches not covered with snow sometimes freeze and need to be pruned.

Tolerates frosts down to -25 °C. Flowering period: beginning, mid-June. The shrub is used for group and single plantings, as well as as a hedge.

An extremely common plant in Russia - lilac , with beautiful inflorescences and a delicate aroma, flowering time is June, belongs to the olive family. For abundant annual flowering, the bush must be formed; this requires regular pruning. The color palette of lilac flowers is very diverse (white, pink, bluish, pale purple, deep purple). A luxurious, hardy shrub that thrives equally well in both southern and northern regions.

Shrub roses or rose hips of the Rosaceae family will certainly become a decoration of the garden, especially species that do not require shelter for the winter and tolerate frost well. The shrub, 1-2 meters high, blooms in June-July, although not for very long, but their red or orange fruits, ripening in August-September, look impressive against the background of green foliage and will delight the eye until late autumn.

Park roses require more careful care, love sunlight. A bush planted in the shade of trees will not produce abundant flowering. Many varieties are quite winter-hardy, some require shelter for the winter. They bloom in the first half of June and bloom for a long period - a month or more.

Extraordinarily beautiful bushes hydrangeas . Tree and paniculate hydrangeas are considered the most unpretentious and winter-hardy species - shrubs with a height of 1 to 3 m. Large lush inflorescences, abundantly located throughout the bush, look very elegant. No wonder it is most loved by gardeners.

Most species bloom with yellow flowers, but there are also varieties with white or pink flowers. The shrub looks great in rock gardens or group plantings, is undemanding to soil, and winter-hardy.

Snowberry Blooms all summer through September with white, pink or red flowers. But its decorativeness is not limited to this.

The uniqueness of this bush is that in the fall you can contemplate flowers on it at the same time as berries. The height of the plant is 1-2 m, it can be used in row plantings when creating a hedge or in group plantings.

Mackerel leather - a shrub that is unusually beautiful not only in summer, during flowering, but also in autumn, thanks to its foliage.

In autumn, the foliage turns crimson, first the edges and veins of the leaves turn red, and then the entire foliage, bluish and purple hues appear.

To make your garden or vegetable garden look beautiful, it is advisable to have plants of different heights on the site. Flowers and beautiful grass will be located near the ground, trees will cover the upper niche, and flowering shrubs will take their place between these levels. It is the latter that will be discussed in this article.

Shrubs blooming in spring

Many plants bloom in spring. Bright and warm sun, birdsong and the scent of flowers are the main signs of the arrival of spring. And what plants can be planted in the garden or vegetable garden so that they delight their owners with flowers during this particular period? But there are a lot of such options.

Among the most popular among gardeners Shrubs that bloom in spring include the following:

Where does black elderberry grow in Russia and what climate suits it best:

Summer bloom

If you want your garden to be filled with flowers not only in spring, but also in summer, then here too you can choose a suitable option for perennial shrubs. To decorate the area The following plants can be used:

Most often found at our dachas bush rose. This beautiful ornamental plant is often used as a hedge due to the presence of rather sharp thorns. Today there are quite a lot of varieties of bush roses, some do not require special care, others need more careful care. But in any case, everyone can choose a suitable option, which will definitely decorate their garden.

Perennial shrubs blooming in autumn

In the autumn, when nature is preparing for the winter cold, you especially want to see flowering plants at your dacha. Such plants will allow you to extend summer a little and lift your spirits with their beautiful and fragrant flowers.

The enchanting lilac aromas have never left anyone indifferent, and varietal lilac is always the highlight of any garden plot:

To perennial shrubs that will delight you in the autumn, the following varieties can be classified:

Hydrangea - will delight you with its beautiful and bright “balls”;
Common heather - gives its pink, purple, red and white flowers until the end of autumn;
The brilliant dogwood is an unpretentious perennial ornamental shrub that can often be found not only in dachas, but also in city squares and parks.

But not only the flowers of perennial shrubs can bring joy in the autumn. At this time of year, the leaves of many plants turn into the most bizarre colors. Shrubs were no exception. You can easily choose several beautiful and low-maintenance options.

What to look for when choosing?

When choosing one or another perennial ornamental shrub, you should first of all pay attention to conditions for its growth. The fact is that not all plants will feel good in some regions of our country. Some of them grow in cold climates, but require special care. When making a choice, it is worth keeping this in mind.

In addition to the conditions for growth, it is advisable to choose options that will decorate your garden or vegetable garden throughout the year. Shrubs can be evergreen or deciduous. Of course, the first option, from a decorative point of view, is more attractive; it will be nice to see a green bush in the winter garden. But such plants are more finicky than their deciduous counterparts. It is best to choose shrubs that look beautiful even after the leaves fall. For example, rowan will decorate your garden with its clusters of berries.

Also, when choosing a perennial shrub for a garden or vegetable garden, you should take into account its shape and size. These parameters will be important when determining a landing site. In addition, a large shrub will take up too much space, and planting it in a small area is impractical.

If we talk about forms, then here The following varieties may occur:

Wide shrubs are an option where the plant is wider than it is tall. Such plants often act as hedges;
Spherical shapes - become a beautiful, free-standing element of landscape design;
Vertical option - the shrub has a small width, but grows tall. Can be used as a free-standing element or as part of a hedge;
Columnar is a tall and narrow shrub that resembles a column of leaves. Can be used for zoning.

In height, perennial shrubs can be low (up to a meter in height), medium (from 1 to 1.8 meters) and high (in adulthood they reach a height of 3 meters). Some tall and medium-sized shrubs can be shaped like trees. In this case, all forms of vegetation will be represented in your garden, while remaining enough free space.

In Russian gardens, heather is rare and not known to everyone. But if you plant this plant with unusually beautiful inflorescences on your site, it will immediately fit into the landscape design and transform the garden:

Another factor to consider when choosing a shrub is its ability to tolerate pruning. At a young age, such an operation may not be necessary, but over the years the plant will grow and will need to be shaped. If the shrub does not tolerate pruning well, then such a design will not work, and it will need to be replaced with a young plant.

Conclusion

In a garden or vegetable garden, to make it look beautiful and well-groomed, it is advisable to have various forms of plants. In addition to grass and trees, without fail shrubs should be represented. These perennial plants will occupy a medium-height niche and will transform your site.

You can choose a wide variety of perennial shrubs; the number of varieties is very large. But when making a choice, it is worth considering some nuances. First, the plant’s ability to grow in your climate zone. Secondly, the size of the bush itself. Besides, don’t forget about the aesthetic side. Some of the varieties bloom in the spring, others will brighten up your garden in the summer, and others only become beautiful in the fall. If you take into account all these nuances, then perennial shrubs will become a harmonious addition to the design of your site.
