Flowers to plant in March

 Flowers need water, Sun (light, warmth) and soil or compost to grow. Spring is the best time cause   they get the conditions they need to begin to grow.
 Showery weather gives them the water they need. The longer days which means that have more light and warmth from the Sun. And we all know the Sun is only reason why life in our galaxy exists!
 Let`s see which plants are the best to grow early in spring.

 Flowers to plant in March (I`m just gonna count them a few, my favorites):

 

Coreopsis Rising Sun

 

Also known as Tickseed.  Produces large double golden-yellow flowers, each with a charming mahogany-red eye. 

Plants begin blooming in June and continue all summer, especially if faded blooms are removed regularly!

 

 Delphinium Guardian Blue

 

 Delphinium or even called the star of the early summer.
This flower form a low mound of deeply-cut green leaves, bearing tall spikes of satiny flowers. 

Deep blue petals and strong stems that are great for cutting. Removing faded spikes will encourage repeat blooming in fall. 

 Use a high phosphorous fertilizer each year, in early spring. 

 

 

 

 

 

Echinacea PowWow White

 

Echinacea ‘PowWow White’ is a white-flowered coneflower. well-branched stems that do not need staking. Flowers bloom from late spring to late summer.

Dead flower stems will remain into the winte. If flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds.

 

 

Geum Queen of Orange

 

Common Name :Geum, Avens, Grecian Rose.

It produces slender branching stems rising above neat compact foliage with stunning orange flowers. 

Guaranteed to perform well!
Geum Queen of Orange will flower from May all the way through to August! Excellent ground cover in sun or partial shade and well drained soil.

 

 

Viola Columbine

 

Violet Columbine is a spectacular hybrid with columbine colors--rich blue with white.The basic shades are blue and white, but the composition is a lot more interesting. The scented flowers are a soft, lilac-infused white marbled and streaked with violet-blue and held about 10in high. Plants start flowering toward the end of May and carry on into fall.

 

 

 

Strawberry Elan

 

 Who doesn`t like strawberries? Everyone does, its a nice sweet, delicious flavour caused by high sugar levels.

My advice is to plant early enough (end of March)!

Enjoy the sweet taste!

How To Create Bonsai Forest

The spring season is the best time of year to create a group planting. First of all suitable trees need to be selected; a group planting should consist of different sizes of trees, a few tall ones for in the middle and several smaller ones to plant on the sides. Use trees mostly growing upright, as the composition will look unnatural when using different shapes of trees. How many trees to use in total is up to you. Selecting the right pot is very important! Choose a large and quite shallow pot. Use a soil mixture of akadama, fine gravel and potting compost mixed together in a ratio of 1/2 to 1/4 to 1/4.

After having selected the trees and the pot, follow the step-by-step plan to create the group planting:
1. Cut of several pieces of copper wire (of about 10 cm or 4’’ long) and attach these with waterproof glue to the pot. The wires will be used to anchor the roots and stabilize the composition of trees.
2. To provide for a good drainage, fill the bottom layer of the pot with fine gravel and akadama in a ratio of 1/2 to 1/2.
3. Now prepare the trees by removing any dead branches and pruning the lower branches to create a trunk (till about 1/3 of the tree’s height). Take the trees out of their pots and after having removed the soil carefully disentangle the roots.
4. Place the taller trees somewhat out of the middle in the pot and add smaller trees around them, when you are satisfied with the composition of the group planting, carefully use the copper wires to anchor the trees.
5. Use the prepared soil mixture to fill the pot and cover all the roots.
6. Use some moss to cover the surface, to protect it against erosion.

Place the newly formed Bonsai group planting in the shade for at least a few months and wait with training the trees until the next spring.
