Perennials blooming with fire

Although the beginning of this year's summer did not spoil us with beautiful and sunny weather, it was still very hot in many gardens.And all this is due to the fiery colors of flowerbed decorative plants: red, orange and yellow in all possible shades.Thanks to them, each planting acquires a truly Southern European temperament.

The selection of plants for flowering planting at the peak of summer is enormous.The leading among them are irreplaceable roses, but also annual lobelia and marigolds.Sunflowers are worth recommending, whose exorbitant height is impossible to achieve for most annuals.

Long-flowering specimens, such as dahlia, bead and crocosmia, are also indispensable in the fireplant palette.The latter has a very evocative coloration, with flaming colors dancing at the apex of the flower stem.Thus evoking the sight of a torch.

In the shaded parts of the garden, fiery colors lose their power, but still play a leading role. The tawułki of the 'Glut' and 'Rotlicht' varieties are worth recommending.Against the backdrop of fiery flowering plants, species with colorfully colored leaves, keeping their shape throughout the summer until autumn, are interesting.Here the palm of priority is taken over by trees whose leaves burn with all possible shades of red and gold. Beautiful colors are e.g. maples.

Suitable for partial shade rebate: Imperata cylindrica grass and new varieties of cranberry in bright shades of orange and red, such as 'Creme Brulee', 'Caramel', 'Miracle' and 'Peach Flambe'. The coloration of these varieties varies from spring to autumn.

Exotic potted plants bring a truly summer mood. Attractive flowers in yellow, orange or red can be proud of lanthanas, datura plants, coral Erythrina tree and puff. Ornamental plants such as petunia, pelargonium and nemesia are equally remarkable flowering.The colors of small garden architecture are not without significance for the reception of the arrangement: the colors of benches, pergolas, pavement surfaces.Remember that warm colors, e.g. shades of red and yellow optically zoom in, while cool ones zoom out.
