What flowers can and should be planted in August. What flowers to plant in August

Seeds of biennial flowers germinate better when using stratification - an agrotechnical technique, when for some time they should be at rest at a low temperature. When planting in the spring, this can be achieved by placing moistened seeds in the refrigerator, and when planting before winter, this effect is created naturally.

Unlike spring planting, such flowers grow more stocky, resistant to low temperatures. Using autumn planting, you can create a beautiful ensemble of unpretentious flowering plants, and if desired and well cared for, they will delight the gardener for many years. Also in August, you need to take time to plant bulbous spring flowers: crocuses, blueberries, muscari, hyacinths and tulips. This period is optimal for transplanting overgrown phloxes, astilba, doronicum, herbaceous peonies and other perennials.

How to plant flowers before winter

Before sowing seeds, you need to prepare a bed: dig it up, carefully choosing the roots of perennial weeds from the ground. Then you should fertilize the soil and level it well. You can use improvised organic fertilizers: humus, ash, peat, as well as complete mineral fertilizer. Flower seeds are sown in grooves, which must first be shed with water.

The depth of their placement directly depends on the size, and very small seeds just need to be scattered over the surface of the soil, compacted with a flat board and moistened with a spray bottle. You can cover the plantings with non-woven covering material - in the fall it will well retain moisture in the soil and protect the seeds from death in winter.

Depending on the size of the seeds, the frequency of their sowing also differs: it is better to insure against failure and make more dense crops; in the spring, if necessary, you can thin them out. In any case, do not exclude the possibility that the germination of seeds will not be up to par. Good germination when sown in August is shown by lupine, oriental poppy, rudbeckia, eryngium, echinacea. Primroses, edelweiss and other flowers with very small seeds at home in late winter - early spring, applying stratification.

To use the benefits of autumn planting more effectively, you need to decide in advance on the types of flowers that you would like to see in the garden, collect as much information as possible about their good combinations and proper agricultural practices in order to avoid disappointment.

“A resident of the Northern capital, a summer resident gardener with 10 years of experience, asked what flowers can be planted on 15 acres in August. I love gardening, especially planting flowers. Looking forward to your recommendations!

Daisies are the best plant to plant in late summer.

Most landscape designers prefer to plant flowers in August. Next, we will consider which flowers can be planted in the month of August, descriptions of these flowers, their use in landscape design, and the features of their cultivation and care are given. For those who want to see constantly blooming flower beds in their dacha, it is necessary to plant in August, in addition to perennials, biennial plants, so that they will please with a long flowering period next summer. Moreover, there are a lot of biennial plants on sale - just pay attention to the description on the bag of seeds.

Consider the most popular flowers that can be used to create flower beds in August:

Chamomile

This is a worthy decoration of any flower garden. In design in the country, chamomile is used to decorate high borders, but it looks good near fences and walls of structures. In August, excellent weather sets in - the heat is reduced, and the cold has not yet come. This time is suitable, including for its transplants, but it must be remembered that it is necessary to transplant chamomile after flowering.

Phlox flowers

They have large inflorescences and a bright color, thanks to which they look good in any flower garden. There are a huge number of varieties of this plant, but it is better to choose those that will bloom in early spring until late autumn. Phlox height can be from 40 cm to a meter. Phlox flowers will look good on alpine slides. And here you can see how to deal with phlox diseases.

We select phloxes for planting in the country in the summer

Rudbeckia flowers

Such perennial and biennial plants have a bright color, mostly yellow. If you plant it in August, you can enjoy flowering in July. Rudbeckia should be planted in an open sunny area with well-drained soil. At the end of the summer period, you can already plant in the country not only biennial, but also perennial varieties.

Chinese carnation

This beautiful Chinese carnation will be a gem in your country house. They are mainly used to decorate the border - they cover them like carpets. When choosing a carnation, you need to look at whether it is a frost-resistant variety. Most varieties of carnation are heat-loving plants, and for the northern regions it is best to buy cold-resistant varieties. Basically, these varieties have strong stems and at the same time are unpretentious to weather conditions. Chinese carnation care.

bluebell flower

This biennial garden plant, if planted in the country in August, will begin to bloom at the end of May next year. However, these flowers need careful care. Because slugs prefer to gather near the bells, so they will need to be constantly removed. And to prolong the flowering period, it is necessary to cut off already faded plants.

Delphiniums

These are tall flowers with bright blue flowers that will not leave anyone indifferent. You can dilute the palette with blue colors using delphiniums. It is full of any shades, from dark blue to light blue. The delphinium loves well-lit areas, but at noon it needs to be hidden in shady areas. These flowers do not prefer dampness, they tolerate hot weather very well. To get bright flowering, the plant must be fed with organic and mineral fertilizers (you can see here).

Another August flower - Chinese carnation

white daisies

These flowers are usually grown as biennials, however they are perennials. These are one of those flowers that are most likely to re-bloom in the fall.

garden mallow

This is an unpretentious plant that is in demand among landscape designers and summer residents, which will not be difficult to grow. Mainly used for decorating various border compositions. They like to sit near fences. Since mallows are tall plants, they need to be tied up. These flowers are perfect for creating the background of a flower garden. In addition to biennials, in August you can start planting existing perennials - lilies, iris, primroses, peonies.

Choosing perennial flowers

If you still have not decided which plants to plant in your summer cottage at the end of summer, then you can choose perennial plants. They do not need an annual transplant from one place to another. They only need to be rooted once and will please the eye for a long period. The recognized leader among perennials is luxurious dahlias and fragrant peonies, which, when they bloom, create a huge white-pink-red cloud from the flower garden. Get ready to have a peony decorating your yard for 10 years or more. This dominant perennial plant blooms vigorously throughout the summer period, and the rest of the time the decorative task is performed by its dark green color.

Bluebell is another great flower to plant in the month of August.

Peonies - non-capricious plants: in the autumn period, you can only remove their above-ground area. There is no need to cover or wrap the plants from frost so as not to damage the sprouts in the spring. Peonies are great for individual plantings, and for group plantings, and even for the formation of lush flower beds. They love well-lit and sun-warmed places for landing. The condition for planting is drained and fertile soil. Although peonies bloom in June, you still need to think about their reproduction and transplantation in August so that they have time to take root and prepare for wintering.

Landing Care

Planted plants need care:

  • Feed the rhododendrons, for this we add 40 g of potassium sulfate and 20 g of double granular superphosphate per square meter.
  • It is recommended to feed gladioli with superphosphate (15 g) and potassium sulfate (30 g), dissolving them in 10 liters of water.
  • As early as possible, we cut off the wild shoots of roses and ornamental varieties of shrubs grafted on the trunk. We free the root part of the neck from the soil and, using a pruner, cut off the shoots near the very base.
  • We install supports for gladioli, tall dahlias and tie up geleniums, rudbeckia and mallow.
  • We collect ripe seeds of annual plants. In marigolds, cornflowers and rudbeckia, you can collect unripe seeds.
  • It's time to repot the lilies that have been growing in the same place for about three years now.
  • This month it is good to propagate lilies with bulbs. After the lilies have faded, the bulbs begin to separate perfectly from the plant and, having collected them, can be treated with a 0.1% solution of potassium permanganate in 20 minutes. We plant the bulbs at a distance of about 5 centimeters from one another in grooves about a couple of centimeters deep.

Rudbeckia flowers

  • We prepare roses for the winter period:
  1. To do this, we reduce the watering of plants.
  2. do not loosen the soil under the flowers.
  3. do not cut the shoots, so as not to provoke the growth of new ones.
  • At the end of August, we plant the grown seeds of biennial and perennial plants in a permanent place.
  • We feed perennials and shrubs for the last time (they eventually stop their own growth) with phosphorus-potassium mineral fertilizer. Thus, we contribute to the laying and maturation of buds, lignification of shoots and their better frost resistance.
  • Laying new lawn. August is a great month for this because the ground is warm and the grass comes up pretty quickly. We feed the old lawn for the last time.
  • We are still fighting pests and plant diseases. You can also plant plants near them that repel pests.

I hope you have already been able to decide which plants you will plant in your garden at the end of summer, and our tips will help you take better care of the flowers planted earlier.

Some autumn work can be started already now: throwing a protective net from birds over the bushes of chokeberry, hawthorn and sea buckthorn, trimming hedges, etc. Peonies, phloxes, delphiniums and many other perennial flowers have already matured well and prepared for winter, they can be planted for rejuvenation with dividing the bush ... However, like other ornamental perennials, for example, ground cover plants. The more movement in the garden, the more stable and healthy it is, therefore, planting old bushes (over 5-7 years old) and creating new compositions can be very significant and long-term - they can be started.
Bushes of middle age, that is, strong enough and well flowering, are usually divided into 3-5 parts, no more, in order to keep flowering for the next year. From older bushes, with weakened flowering, the most viable parts of the rhizome are cut out along the periphery of the bush, they may be small and may not bloom next year, but the plant will undergo rejuvenation and then create a large healthy bush.

Yellowed leaves and flower stalks are cut off from seedlings. If some green leaves are preserved, it is better to leave them, this will facilitate the installation of the plant in a new place.

There is no doubt that your divided perennials will take root in a new place, but their future size depends on the amount of fertilizer in the soil. Well-deployed compost can be poured directly into the holes when planting. If you use slurry, liquid humate or herbal fertilizer - they all contain a lot of mobile nitrogen - then they should be poured into the soil at some distance from the planting pit, 10-20 cm from its edges. Watering, duty pegs (so as not to accidentally knock down a rhizome hidden in the ground with a chopper) - that's the whole planting.

It is possible to make flowers bloom in the garden at any time, but for this you need to choose the right time for planting. For example, in August it is better to plant two-year-old flowers so that they bloom next summer. On many bags of seeds they write a biennial, which means that it can be safely planted, because there are a lot of flowers - biennials.

It will be useful for beginner flower growers to find out what flowers are planted in August and plant them by creating a new flower bed.

Chinese carnation. There are both perennial species, and annual, and biennial species of carnations. The types of carnations for borders look especially beautiful. The most spectacular carnations with large double flowers and serrated petals, but they are too thermophilic. Therefore, if you live in central Russia, choose cold-resistant border carnations with large flowers and a strong stem. For planting in August, only biennial cold-resistant carnations are suitable. When choosing carnations for planting, pay attention to the description, as different varieties of garden carnations bloom at different times of flowering, flower height and size.

Phloxes. They have inflorescences up to 10 cm in diameter, flowers with rounded or pointed petals. More popular are modern compact varieties with bright colors. The flowering time depends on the type of phlox, if you pick up phlox according to the timing of flowering, they will decorate the garden from spring to late autumn. Phloxes live very well in the garden if their growing conditions are close to natural. Low-growing varieties have a height of 40 cm, medium 60 - 90 cm. Therefore, depending on the species, these biennial flowers can be planted in August on an alpine hill, in a flower garden, and in a monoculture garden.

Stock rose or mallow are considered border perennials. It is very easy to grow, unpretentious, therefore very popular and created for growing along walls, fences and hedges. They plant it along the fences or in the background of the flower garden, since they are mostly tall varieties that need to be tied up. Mallow is a very unpretentious and decorative flower.

garden chamomile- decorative, it is fashionable to use it for planting in high borders, in group plantings on the lawn, along fences and walls. Garden chamomile is unpretentious and you can plant and replant it not only in August, but at any time when the plant does not bloom. But nevertheless, it is better to plant these flowers in August, since there is no longer a strong heat and the plants will take root better.

Delphnium. If you want to bring blue to the garden, be sure to plant delphiniums, they are rightfully considered the "king of blue flowers." These tall blue plants need a well-lit area with some shade during the midday hours. The plant is drought-resistant, does not like dampness and stagnant water. Caring for a delphinium requires top dressing with mineral and organic fertilizers. In addition to blue varieties, there are also species with pink and white flowers.

Rudbeckia. Perhaps this is the brightest perennial that blooms in the second half of summer and autumn. Flowering is long enough. It blooms in large yellow inflorescences with a cone-shaped black or brown core. Planting rudbeckia is possible in any well-drained soil, in a sunny place or in light partial shade.

garden bell(flower bed species) are usually grown as biennials. Paniculate inflorescences appear in early summer, flowering time May - July. In spring, bluebells protect against slugs. Removing faded flowers prolongs flowering. Undersized bells look great in rock gardens, borders, planters. Tall sprawling species - as part of mixborders, where they are placed together with other lushly flowering perennials (daisies, loosestrife, scabiosa, foxglove, cornflower and others).

Daisies. It is a perennial plant grown as a biennial. Daisy blooms in spring and summer, from May to July, re-blooming in autumn is possible. You can sow daisies both directly into the ground and into seedling boxes, planting seedlings in autumn in flower beds. Seeds germinate in the light, so they should not be deepened, just lightly sprinkle with soil and press (roll) so that they fit more tightly to the ground. And you can divide bushes and transplant plants at any time, even flowering

Forget-me-not. Low-growing varieties of forget-me-nots are traditionally planted in spring flower beds along with tulips. Tall varieties can be used in a grassy border. The usual color is blue. If grown as a perennial, flowering will decline over time, so plant and repot plants from time to time.

What flowers can be planted in August, except for biennials

In addition, in August, perennial overgrown bushes of iris, peony, lily, lily of the valley, and primrose are divided and transplanted.

These flowers have already finished their growth and are in a stage of relative dormancy until September. So it's time for their reproduction by dividing the bush. Carefully dig up the plant, clean the soil from the roots and cut off the leaves. Gently divide the bush into parts with your hands (although I divided a large peony bush with a shovel, cutting it into 4 parts, it was so huge). You can cut the bush with a knife into parts. Sprinkle wounds with charcoal. Fertilize the planting holes well so that the plants bloom beautifully for several years. When planting flowers in August, be sure to check the lunar calendar and the weather forecast. If there is a 30 degree heat outside, then it is not worth transplanting flowers by division. There is a high chance that they will not survive.

August's main concern is dividing and transplanting perennials.

At this time, peonies, delphiniums, phloxes, many types of primrose and others are usually divided. The optimal time for planting lilies is mid-late August. In the southern regions, the planting dates are shifted about a month later, in the northern regions, on the contrary, earlier. In August and early September, we plant seedlings of biennials sown in spring and early summer in flower beds. We sow in the ground the seeds of those perennials that lose their germination during storage: backache, bathing suit and others. In late August-early September, clematis with lignified shoots can be planted and transplanted. Also in late August-early September, planting of small-bulbous and bulbous plants begins.

Small-bulbous plants are planted first: scilla, muscari, pushkinia, hionodoxes, crocuses. At the beginning of the second decade of September, daffodils are planted. About a week later, behind the daffodils - hyacinths. Tulips are planted last, in late September - early October.

The best time for planting grafted roses in central Russia is autumn (from September 1 to October 10). Many gardeners are afraid of autumn planting, believing that the bush will not have time to take root before winter. This is wrong. If the roses are planted on time, then by the winter shelter they will already take root and start growing faster in the spring. Also, in late September - early October, we plant small onion sets, which are almost impossible to keep until spring, and winter garlic. September - the first decade of October in the middle lane are also suitable for planting many trees and shrubs. The main thing is to have time to plant everything no later than a month before the soil freezes. It is better not to plant seedlings of weakly winter-hardy species of trees and shrubs in autumn, but to dig them into the ground. Until the end of October, you can plant lilies of the valley. October planting of their rhizomes is recommended in areas with a good snowy winter, otherwise plantings may suffer from freezing. With the onset of stable frosts, the plantings of the first year will need to be mulched with peat or compost. We are starting to prepare for the winter sowing of decorative perennials and annuals.


You can watch the beautiful flowering of multi-colored hats until late autumn, only the main thing is to know when to plant flowers and their flowering period. Before choosing flower varieties, you should pay attention to the period of sowing seeds or planting seedlings - some cannot be planted in the fall. Biennial flowers are still a good choice for August, they should say on their packaging that the variety is biennial. Such plants will bloom only next summer.

But avid gardeners and gardeners continue to sow and plant various crops at this time. What exactly in the middle lane can be sown in August is described in the article. In order to correctly use the information presented below, one should not lose sight of the fact that southerners carry out the same work about a month later, and those who live to the north perform them almost the same time earlier.

Let's start with the garden

Many vegetable and green crops are sown in the August vegetable garden

In August, green and vegetable crops with very early and early ripening periods can be sown in the garden on the vacated beds. From such plants in September or early October, you can get fresh garden products.

Dill, parsley, salads (including watercress), arugula, salad mustard can be sown in August. These crops will give a good harvest in September.

Please note that for planting watercress it is better to take a late-ripening variety, it will not have time to give arrows before frost.

They are sown at the same time. In the spring he will give friendly shoots.

On the beds vacated after picking cucumbers, you can sow radishes and daikon. At the beginning of the month, you can also sow the winter radish, although this is the deadline for it. July would be the best time.

These three crops cannot be sown, as they belong to the same cruciferous family and are subject to the same diseases.
