Already in the first days of May, we can discount plants such as: marigold, gypsophila (gypsophila), dragonfly, Chinese aster, black seed, garden hell, tuna and snapdragon. In the second half of May, after the so-called cold gardeners (May 11-15), it&39;s time forsummer-flowering annuals with higher thermal requirementswe plant plants such as: continuously flowering begonia, mexican mexico, celosia, zinnia, gazania glossy, rezeda, sage, amaranth and sunflowers (with delayed flowering). It is also an appropriate date for planting Impatiens, Coles, Nemeses, Heliotropes and Climbing Kobei. "

When planting annual flowers in Mayit is worth remembering the following rules:

Before planting seedlings, harden them beforehand Hardening the seedlings involves airing the plant room, then exposing the plants to the balcony for a few days for the day and putting them back in the room overnight. As a result, the seedlings will gradually get used to the conditions outside. Only such a hardened seedling can be planted in the garden
Immediatelybefore planting, water the seedling wellso that the soil does not crumble in your hands.
Permanent placewe plant only he althy specimens , with a well-developed root system.

The beginning of May, weather permitting, is the right time forplanting summer and autumn flowering perennialsFor perennial flower beds, we plant such plants as: tongue, rudbeckia, edelweiss, tawułka, yarrow garden bell, garden bell, garden divider and larkspur.

What flowers do we plant on the balcony in May?

In May, we plant geraniums in the boxes on the balconies . We can start planting them in pots at the beginning of the month. Only the English geraniums, which are more sensitive to the cold, are waiting until the second half of May, when the danger of frost is over. In the second half of the month, we can fill the containers with begonias, coleus, impatiens, sage, lion maws and lobelia without any restrictions. The balconies can also host traditional balcony flowers, such as: fuchsia, petunia and surfinia, long-tailed claw, woolly hell and climbing kobea.
Perennial plants can also find a place in balcony boxes and pots. The most common are irresine, bellflower, catnip and blush kurdybanek, recommended especially for shaded balconies. We plant them in the second half of the month.

What kind of bulb flowers do we plant in May?

" The term bulb plants are understood to mean not only those plants with an onion as an underground part, but also tuberous plants (e.g. dahlias) and rhizomes (canna). "
The second half of May is the time of plantingnon-overwintering bulb perennials that bloom in summer and autumn. These are dahlias, angelfish (kanna), freesia, gladiolus, crocosmia, moss, anemone, Asian buttercup, gloriasis, wasmena, and xia. It is also worth buying a few less known bulbous plants, such as sparaksis, tiger beetle, braid (eukomis), g altonia, Abyssinian gladiolus or nerina. They will refresh our garden with the richness of colors and interesting appearance of flowers.
Beforeplanting the bulb flowerswe prepare the soil. We clean it of weeds, dig deeply and smooth it out so that no cavities are formed in which water can remain. If in the garden the change is too concise, we must loosen it. We do this by mixing it with peat and sand to the depth of one spade. Fertilize the soil that is too barren with compost.
Plant bulbs, tubers and rhizomes at a depth equal to three times their height.A practical solution is to plant the bulbs and tubers in plastic baskets to protect them from rodents. The use of baskets will allow us to be sure that we will dig out all the bulbs from the ground in the fall.After planting, water the soil abundantly and cover it with garden bark, limiting excessive evaporation of water and the development of weeds.
Bulb flowers are best plantedevery year in a new place. Thanks to this, we will reduce the risk of diseases and attack by soil pests.
