Before planting rhododendrons, it is worth choosing the right company for them, so that the discount looks beautiful throughout the season. Thanks to the composition I used, I was able to create such an effect.
Rhododendron standRhododendrons feel great next to house walls, fences, in secluded places, sheltered from the wind.
Plants accompanying Rhododendrons
They grow well in the company of perennials, bulbs and ground cover plants. Thanks to them, the roots of the shrubs are protected - in winter and spring from temperature fluctuations, and in summer from drying out. Suitable for planting under rhododendrons:
- funkie,
- anemones,
- ornamental grasses,
- hellebore,
- forget-me-nots,
- tawułki,
- bergenie,
- cranberries,
- sapphires.
Plants should be arranged so that they are not obscured. Along with rhododendrons, you can plant other evergreen shrubs that have similar requirements. These are, among others:
- bunches,
- gaulterie,
- kalmie,
- pierisy,
- skimie.
Rhododendron discount design
In the picture below I present my flowerbed, which from the beginning of the season is full of flowers - first snowdrops, fragrant violets, honey plant, forget-me-nots and epimedias. The colors of these flowers blend with each other to create a wonderful mosaic.When summer comes, the arrangement is drowned in geraniums and bells, and the dominant colors are shades of pink and red. In turn, autumn brings relaxation in the garden. Green gives way to browns, and softens red and other strong colors. Fortunately, it is illuminated by autumn anemones, tawułki, spurgeons, marshes and forest illusions blooming in flowerbeds. In winter, it is time for white hellebores.The place under the rhododendrons is just perfect for these flowers. Lush shrubs perfectly harmonize with the riot of colors of all the accompanying plants.
