Agrotechnical cultivation
Planting perennials
When planting perennials, it should be borne in mind that they grow over time. Therefore, they are located at a distance from each other. In the first years, this distance can be filled with annual plants.
In total, there are three options for planting perennial plants:
Each of them has its own characteristics. Planting dates depend on the type of plant and the characteristics of growing in a particular case.
Over the years of growing perennial plants, certain rules and recommendations have developed. First of all, you need to observe all the features of planting and growing a particular crop. There are several nuances that need to be considered when creating decorative flower beds from perennials:
Perennial care in the Urals
Caring for perennials in the Urals does not have a fundamental difference with other regions. To obtain a beautiful flowering, you will need to carry out the entire complex of actions, in accordance with the agricultural technology of the selected perennial crop, there are still some nuances.
Watering is carried out in moderate amounts, as the soil dries out. If the summer is dry, then the volume of water increases. After each watering, loosening and weeding are carried out. Cleaning the root system of weeds is mandatory, as they are not afraid of winter and in spring they will gain strength faster than flowers.
Another important point is mulching. Straw, peat, bark are used as material for mulch, but inorganic substances, for example, polyethylene film, are the best option. It will also help preserve perennial flowers for the Urals in winter. It will not be superfluous to introduce complex mineral fertilizers before winter.
All other agricultural activities are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the plant itself. Some need to be pruned in the spring and fall, while others grow well without being clipped.
Shelter roses for the winter
Preparing for winter
Some plant varieties are not able to endure the harsh winter of the Urals on their own. To prepare perennials, two stages of work are performed:
As you can see, beautiful perennials can be grown in the harsh conditions of the Ural climate. With the right approach to creating flower beds, there will be no big difficulties. It is important to choose the right varieties of garden flowers for the Urals and provide them with acceptable growing conditions.

Whatever shrub you choose, always remember that for each certain planting rules and care features must be observed. Even an unpretentious plant sometimes needs attention.
In the Urals, gardeners have to seriously think about perennial flowers that can survive harsh winters. Delicate plants in this case are not suitable - not all of them will withstand frost. In the article, we will give a detailed overview of the most persistent, beautiful and unpretentious perennials that can grow in the harsh conditions of the Ural climate.

The peculiarities of the climate and soil conditions of the Urals do not at all prevent gardeners from creating unique compositions. Blooming in the plots lasts from early spring to late autumn. To create such beauty, you just need to select the appropriate varieties. It is quite possible to grow perennials in the garden of the Urals, without fear that the plants will freeze out in the cold winter.
When choosing varieties of perennials, one should take into account the following parameters - frost resistance of the roots and the ability of flower buds to survive in the cold of the Urals. If such indicators are absent, then it will be problematic to preserve the plant in the Ural conditions.
Perennials have enough advantages over annual species, which are distinguished by a richer palette of colors. The most worthy parameters of perennials for the Urals:
The types of perennials for the gardens of the Urals are divided into some parameters:
- flowering period;
- the height of an adult plant;
- the structure of the root system and foliage.
Perennial flowers are successfully grown in the Urals and in parks, and not only in garden plots. At the same time, delicate primroses are considered the most popular.
Spring flowers
The first step is to consider the plants that bloom first in the growing season.
Crocus

Primroses for harsh regions
The most popular and proven residents of the Ural gardens:

Different colors of bells give special decorative effect to flower beds and borders. They grow well on soils of different compositions, endure winter without additional shelter, get along well with other bulbs that can withstand the conditions of the Urals. Therefore, group plantings of lumbago are formed together with crocuses, primroses and kandyk.
Siberian Kandyk
A very beautiful plant.
It is adored by bees and lovers of kandyk honey. And to decorate a dacha in the Urals, you can pick up varieties of perennial kandyk with different flowering periods in order to enjoy the beauty of a delicate plant for a longer time. For example, the variety "White Tsar" blooms in early April, "White Fang" - at the end of the month. The beginning of May is the time of flowering of the Olga variety. They all differ in the color of flowers and leaves, which makes it possible to diversify flower beds in the gardens and parks of the Urals. At night and in cold weather, the kandyk closes the flowers. As soon as the sun appears and the air warms up, the petals open again. In a warm spring, the flowering period is slightly reduced, in a cool spring, the kandyk blooms in the gardens of the Urals for two weeks.
