Gameshark On Gpsphone

still it blooms ....


Great contrasts arise in the moment in the gravel bed. The brilliant red background is a normal red barberry, including Panicum virgatum lights 'Warrior', which grows very straight upright and has a beautiful yellow in autumn. To the right is the Feast of Crocosmia 'Lucifer', which begins slowly wither from the tips of her. Also in the picture: left Aster pringlei 'Monte Cassino', in front of lavender, sedum, a solitary ground-cover rose and a book.


is still in bloom in Strobilanthes rankingensis (in the network there is also the name S. rankanensis, and I'm not sure if it's the same kind). The genus Strobilanthes has many garden worthy representatives of the, although praised for years in garden blogs, catalogs and on websites of gardeners, still practiced on a little. The plants are from the Himalayas, where they form of rich, misty forests of large bushes. Very sensitive to the various species are also with us but not enough not to dry any location in partial shade them to thrive. The species is shown to a height of 70cm and is on highly branched branches numerous light purple flowers that in late summer to frost (and obviously even later) . Appear
caution is appropriate in the spring, because the plant is driving only very late and could therefore easily be forgotten or overlooked. Determined this way would also be on the north side of perennial beds to good use, possibly related to Persicaria amplexicaulis, grasses, Leucanthemella or white anemones.


in the garden last year one of their species is Aster tataricus, an impressive game with Aster krenartigen leaves, very rapid growth in rich soils and up to 2m high stature. They bloom until the end of October and goes so well with attractive seed heads of other perennials or Boltonia, late chrysanthemums or even trees with red autumn color.

What Happens If U Drink Scope

shade beds during the year


When browsing photos of my garden this year are two perspectives I have noticed that I have photographed at least twice: once in mid-June and again in early October. They show the shadow area in two apple trees, a walnut and a hedge, which is equipped with my spring shade perennials, hostas and many bulbous plants. Unfortunately there is no spring view, but I'll subsequent filing next year.

The left opposition fall particularly Astilboides tabularis, Fallopia japonica 'Variegata' un the various Hosta on. The right image is particularly the swing of the beds and the light mood. For two photo-times barely bloomed plant, what shade beds is not necessarily typical, except they are filled mainly with spring flowers and foliage shrubs, as I ;-).

shade beds before winter


spring shade beds planted with mainly geophytes see in the fall, they are empty. From previous transplantation experience wiser, I add now no more plants, "because it is so empty," but wait until spring - when everything is full wiedr anyway. Visually, the beds are currently no special experience, but they see not messy, because many plants either completely recovered or are they grown so high. Work make the shade beds now no more. I sprinkle each autumn, some leaves on the surfaces and cut soon back in the spring, because many plants sprout as early as March.
In the photo above you can see a pretty hederifolium cyclamen, a rosette of Chrysosplenium macrophyllum, a leaved Golden Saxifrage and also Hepaticas and Epimedium protrude into the picture.


Some plants, such as Lamium maculatum this 'Pink Pewter' or right Corydalis cheilanthifolia drive, even now in late autumn more new leaves and thus bring color into the flower beds. The shown Corydalis is a particularly beautiful plant that casts bronze in spring and has yellow flowers.


The time of the ferns this is over. Except for the evergreen ferns such as Polystichum that until the spring green fronds bear, wither and decay, most with the first frost. You can dry your own fan but definitely leave, as some are stable and thus bring some structure into the otherwise empty shade beds.
