If the plot is shaded and the soil is far from black soil, this does not mean that you can not grow beautiful flowers. There are a number of flowering crops that actually prefer little light and feel good on badlands.
Gaylardia is large-flowered
Surprisingly, gaillardia is a plant that excessive care can harm. Do not worry about specially preparing flower beds for these flowers; throw the seeds in that dry place in the garden where nothing else will grow. The only thing that flowers will ask for growth and abundant flowering is a sunny place.
You don’t even need to water the gaillardia, it will be enough rains and morning dew, if it is not about extreme drought. It is really easy to grow flowers: do not fertilize these plants, they only need a little compost when planting to start the growing season.
Individual plants, as a rule, live 2-3 years before they die. The only possible problem that you may encounter is the tendency of the flowers to spread beyond the original territory.
Anacyclus
Carpet daisy will become an adornment of the sandy part of the garden, on which capricious plants take root poorly. A creeping stalk, pretty flowers and plenty of greenery justify the name and turn the flowerbed into a flowering carpet. Plants up to 30 centimeters in height almost do not require watering, are resistant to seasonal changes in temperature and frost. The anacyclus begins to bloom in April-May and throughout the summer pleases with generous flowering.
The flower is widely used in landscape design, serves as a decoration for rock gardens, but is also easily grown as a pot culture.
Crepis
Krepis is an unusually hardy and beautiful annual, it is considered almost the easiest crop to grow. It begins to bloom in early July and until October covers the area with rays of light yellow or pink-purple flowers.
Sow the seeds directly into the ground from late March to April. Plants grow better on dry calcareous soils, preferably in sunny places.
Adonis spring
Adonis is usually a short plant, although some species can reach 50 centimeters in height. These are yellow, red or white flowers resembling buttercups. Perennials bloom in early spring, and annuals in summer. They are great for gardening and can decorate paths or rock gardens.
Plants prefer semi-shady areas, but you can grow them in full sunlight as long as the soil remains moist. Adonises are usually easy to care for, perennial varieties require fertilizer during the growing season, and in winter thick mulch.
Origanum common
Oregano prefers dry areas on calcareous soils. The plant is hardy and not afraid of frost. It blooms from July to September, and the seeds ripen from August to October.
The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by bees and butterflies. It is suitable for light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-drained areas and can grow in poor soils. Oregano feels good both in partial shade (light woodland) and in the open sun, and also easily tolerates strong winds.
Leia graceful
Leia does not require laborious cultivation and care. Flowers patiently treat heat and drought. They like sunny areas where they enjoy a long flowering period. The plant prefers loamy and sandy loamy soil with moderate humidity. Although Leia will grow on any soil, wherever it is planted. The main thing is that the trees and shrubs do not create her shadow. Quite unpretentious to watering, Leia can tolerate several extra days without water, but if the top layer of soil is very dry, it is still better to water the plant.
Anemone
One of the most attractive and productive spring flowers, anemones bloom just three months after planting, bloom profusely throughout spring, often producing up to 20 flowers per bulb. When grown in the middle and northern regions, they are covered in winter with a layer of mulch. The plant loves the full midday sun, but also blooms in partial shade. The soil before planting can be improved by adding compost, humus leaf or other organic fertilizer.
