What is Ampel?
Ampel plants or ampels - decorative representatives that are grown in hanging pots, baskets, vases. The name "ampelous" comes from the Latin word Ampella, which is translated into Russian as "small bottle".
Ampel flowers
You can put any flowerpot in pots or vases, but best of all for the ampel, climbing, creeping or falling shoots are suitable... Ampels can grow in an apartment, greenhouse or in the ground.
TOP-1O most popular hanging flowers for home and garden
Ampels are divided into:
- Succulents
- Decorative deciduous
- Beautifully blooming
Also Ampels are divided into curly and creeping. Curly - release antennae... With the help of them, they cling to the net or other nearby objects and rise up. Creeping - hangs the container high above the floorin which the plant grows. The stems hang down freely.
Below are the most popular types of ampel plants:
Petunia
One of the most beloved representatives of all gardeners. Differs from other representatives in a variety of colors and shapes, long flowering... Blooms from early spring to late autumn. Easy to care for. Petunia prefers lighted, warm places. Growing rapidly. Blooming wattle fences completely cover the edges of the hanging container.
Begonia
A well-known ampel. Begonia flowers are coral or bright red. Their shape resembles a miniature chrysanthemum. You can plant this begonia in a flowerpot, box or flowerpot.... Extremely negatively tolerates heat and bright rays of the sun. Therefore, it is important to place it in partial shade.
Dichondra
It differs from other representatives in that there are no flowering on it, or they may appear periodically. Dichondra flowers are inconspicuous, dull, almost invisible. It beautifies any place thanks to its silky-green leaves with silky fringes and lashes reaching more than one and a half meters in length... In nature, dichondra grows in swampy areas. It is thermophilic, so it can be found on open terraces only during the warm season. To save the plant from frost, it should be brought indoors for the winter.
Verbena
A herbaceous flower that blooms from early spring to late autumn. Grown as an annual. But verbena can handle winter well. They are planted in hanging containers. The stems hang down a meter. Verbena grows very quickly. Leaves are dense and hairy. Verbena stalks can be blue, purple, pink or red... After flowering, a nutlet is formed. It falls into four parts. Butterflies and caterpillars feed on verbena.
Bacopa
Rarely found in Russia. It is widely known in European countries. Herbaceous, creeping and climbing perennial plant. Scourges reach 1-1.5 meters in length... Leaves are olive greenish. Bacopa blooms in waves. The buds bloom at the same time and fall off after flowering. Then new buds open. Thus, Bacopa blooms throughout the season. For the winter in regions with severe frosts, it is brought indoors.
Geranium
A hanging plant that produces long shoots or curls up a wall. Trumpet geranium differs from ordinary geranium in its long, strong shoots, which are able to withstand the weight of the leaves and a huge number of flowers.... The leaves are smooth, five-pointed, without a feather on the surface. Geranium flowers are large and bright. They are the pride of any grower. Therefore, flower growers prefer to plant different types of geraniums in one container in order to get flowers of different colors.

Campanula
Herbaceous plant with light green, round leaves with jagged edges... Campanula differs from other ampelous flowers in large and densely located on the stem.
Ampel annuals: how to grow seasonal flowers
From the same point of view (evaluating the growing process), consider annual flowers. You can breed them in three ways: purchase seeds, sow them in order to obtain seedlings, which are subsequently planted in pots; buy seedlings, place them in a container for seasonal growth; get a ready-made flower.
Important! When purchasing seeds for growing flower seedlings, you must follow the recommendations for sowing dates. Being late even by 1–1.5 decades can affect the active vegetative process.
Each option has its own pros and cons, which can only be listed: savings, additional waste of funds, long waiting for the result, difficulty of adaptation, the ability to experiment, satisfaction from the process and achievement of the goal ... Everyone himself determines the acceptability of the conditions. In any case, the result will be the same - beautiful flowers for pots on the street for the whole summer.
The advantages of annuals are abundant flowering and resistance to high temperatures.
If we try to make a comparison between the growing season and the peculiarities of caring for perennial ampelous and one-year-olds, we get the following:
- care during the season is generally the same, not counting the nuances for different species and those and other colors;
- one-year-olds are absent in winter, perennial ones need care;
- annuals have more abundant flowering;
- summer plants are more resistant to drought and high temperatures.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that more and more new types of annual ampelous plants appear in flower shops, surprising with their unique beauty. Among them, it is worth highlighting the hybrid petunia - calibrachoa. The flowers are smaller than those of the progenitor, but there are much more of them. The stems are longer, they can reach 1.5–2 m, they become much lignified.
Bacopa flowers are a miracle novelty. Photos on the Internet show fluffy green stems dotted with lots of delicate white flowers. With external fragility, the plant is resistant to high temperatures, drought and excessive moisture.
We decorate the site with "bells": Nolan's flower in the decoration of the territory
Nolana hanging flowers can be a wonderful decoration of the infield. This plant appeared not so long ago in household plots, but the demand for it is constantly increasing, since the plant has both high decorative qualities and good resistance to changes in humidity, temperature, and strong winds.
Nolana is a "bell".Indeed, in this ampelous plant, flower stalks resemble bells in shape and color. Small, up to 5 cm in diameter, with carved edges, flowers come in blue, blue and purple shades. During the flowering period, Nolana emits a pleasant aroma. The leaves are green, succulent, which allows the plant to survive in conditions of significant drought. The flowering period is quite long - from mid-June to the onset of sub-zero temperatures. Creeping stems, one plant can cover an area of up to 1 m².
On the Internet in the photo, ampelous flowers of Nolan are represented by several types: blue inflorescences with a yellow center, blue inflorescences with a yellow center and a white throat, purple with small white blotches along the pistil.
It is worth noting that this flower has a tap root system, which practically does not branch out to the sides. This must be taken into account when choosing a container for planting.
Nolana's hanging flowers can decorate any backyard
For lovers of bright design: ampelous nasturtium
A special place among ampelous plants is occupied by nasturtium. Looking at a pergola, a gazebo or a balcony twisted almost to the top, you might think that this perennial plant has greened the structure so much in five years. In fact, one summer season is enough for this nasturtium.
In total, there are 90 species of this plant. Among them there are 25 cultural ones. We use 4 types as decorative design:
- small nasturtium - a low plant for flower beds and front gardens;
- Canarian nasturtium - a liana, which definitely needs support;
- shield-bearing nasturtium - a shrub with creeping stems;
- large nasturtium, gives shoots up to 70 cm.
The last three types can be used as ampelous flowers for pots in the country. Pictures with titles on the Internet will help you choose the right option.
The flowers of this plant can be yellow or orange. In large nasturtium, they are large and bright. In Canary and thyroid - yellow and small.
The plant with deep red double flowers was obtained by crossing large and thyroid nasturtium.
Important! A hybrid nasturtium grown from its own seeds will not inherit maternal traits. It is better to purchase seedlings or seeds in specialized stores.
Nasturtium is thermophilic, but it is better to shade the plant in the scorching summer heat. Watering is generally required moderate, more intensive should be used during the budding period.
Florists should understand that hybrid nasturtium grown from their own seeds will not inherit maternal characteristics.
Dichondra ampelous: photo of "waterfalls", "backgrounds", "foundations"
Ampel dichondra can be attributed to those plant species that have not yet been fully appreciated. You can meet her more often in those areas that were designed by professional designers. Ampel plants are not only stems strewn with flowers. In particular, dichondra has decorative leaves. The peculiarity of the plant lies not only in their color, but also in the abundant fluffy mass, which the flower, under optimal conditions, can collect in just two to three weeks.
The most common types are the “silvery waterfall” dichondra and the “emerald waterfall”. Densely falling, rather straight stems are really associated with a waterfall. The words “silver” and “emerald” indicate the color of the leaves.
The flower is extremely unpretentious, does not require frequent and abundant watering, and can withstand high temperatures. Likes external spraying with warm water. The emerald look feels comfortable in the shade.
Quite often, these ampelous flowers for pots are used when decorating plots as a background, shading and emphasizing the brightness of other flowering plants.Several dichondras, arranged in a certain order, can form a tent, hedge and other three-dimensional figures.
Ampel plants for the garden: examples of the best varieties and some design ideas
Ornamental plants that have a long flexible stem and look beautiful in hanging pots are called ampelous. The stem of the ampelous, as a rule, is not able to support itself, it needs to either rely on something or hang down. It is this property that makes ampelous garden plants very popular among amateur gardeners. Such decorative crops - in our conditions, are mainly annuals, they grow rapidly, bloom almost all summer, and in a short time they are able to turn the territory adjacent to the house and individual corners of the garden into places of amazing beauty, beckoning to relax among the splendor of the colors of nature.

What varieties of ampelous are better to plant on the site?
Consider some garden ampelous plants that bloom beautifully and are unpretentious to care for.
Option # 1 - hanging begonia
A wonderful plant with small scarlet or bright red flowers on delicate, flexible and long stems. The flowers resemble small chrysanthemums. This is a rather whimsical plant that does not tolerate heat at all and needs frequent watering. You should not place begonias in the bright sun; you need to choose a shaded corner for it. If the summer is too hot in your area, this plant will not work for the garden.
Ivy Pelargonium.
Ivy-leaved pelargonium is an ampelous plant with flexible thin, smooth, branching, creeping or drooping stems that form a bright colored cascade of numerous umbellate inflorescences. Pelargonium ivy is planted in open ground with the onset of stable heat. She absolutely does not tolerate close proximity to other plants (shading, thickening). And it is advisable to plant the planting in the ground without removing the pelargonium from the pot, otherwise it will actively branch and grow to the detriment of flowering.
Despite the fact that this plant tolerates a drop in temperature to +5 ° C without problems, even minimal frosts are already destructive for it, therefore, for the winter, ivy-leaved pelargonium will still have to be dug out of the ground and transferred to the room.
Ivy Pelargonium does not need to be sprayed. Moreover, it is contraindicated for her: rot may appear on the leaves. It is also necessary to avoid getting moisture on flowers in direct sunlight: burns may occur.
