Planning planting plants along the fence.

However, it is not worthwhile to plant everything that comes to hand. By planting plants should be approached carefully.

What to consider when choosing plants

Before you finally decide what to plant behind the fence, you must consider a number of factors:

  • soil composition, proximity to groundwater, climate specificity, so that the plant does not die due to inappropriate conditions;
  • features of plant care;
Important! It is not recommended to plant a difficult-to-care crop if there is no one living at the dacha and there will be nobody to look after the greens.
  • the purpose of planting (decorative, protective, to create additional shadow, etc.);
  • wind blowing area and the presence of light;
  • cottage planning;
  • characteristics of the fence itself (height, technical condition, color, etc.);
  • compatibility of different cultures. For some plants, the neighborhood is highly undesirable;
  • plant life cycle and features of their development. Some cultures have a powerful root system that can damage the foundation of the fence. In addition, plants should be included in the composition along the fence, which bloom at different times to ensure a decorative effect.

Important! On the traditional 6 acres it is not necessary to place large tall plants, since they not only create an undesirable shade for crops, but also require a lot of space.

How does the type of fence affect plant selection?

When choosing which bushes to plant along the fence, it is necessary to take into account the type of barrier.

If the fence is wooden, the choice is practically unlimited - any trees and shrubs will feel great here (barberry, hawthorn, lilac, elder, thuja, cherry, plum, hydrangea, and many others).

The metal fence can be heated in the sun, so it is recommended to plant strong, unpretentious plants - rosehip, birch, maple near it.

The grid-chain-link will serve as a support for climbers - actinidia, m of maiden grapes, decorative beans, climbing roses, sweet peas. Care should be taken with hops, as it spreads very quickly over the area and is poorly displayed.

Important! Do not plant crops too close to the fence. Distance required - 1-2 meters.
Flowering plants will attract additional attention to the fence, so it must be put in order (cleaning, painting, protection from rot and rust).

What to plant along the fence

It is also important to properly organize planting, having the plants in size and flowering time.

We select mixborders

Unpretentious plants for hedges can be combined in mixborders - compositions of perennial ornamental crops.

Did you know? Mixborders were invented in England.
When forming, consider the following rules:

  • emphasis is placed on the side of the mixborder, which is better viewed;
  • the lowest plants are always planted in front;
  • to view from the side between the fence and planting it is desirable to leave a strip of lawn;
  • cultures mixborders grow quickly, so you need to ensure that they do not interfere with each other and maintain a decorative appearance.

For shrub compositions it is best to choose plants with a small crown and a long flowering period. Most often gardeners prefer rhododendron, forsythia, spirea, hydrangea. Complement them with magnolia, iberis, boxwood.

A great solution would be planting near the bushes of plants that cover the ground - stonecrop, periwinkle, yaskolki, carpet phlox. The space between the bushes is filled with daisies, hosts, viols, primulas.

Coniferous mixborders of cedar elfin wood, fir, thuja, juniper, dwarf pine trees and spruce look along the fence very effectively and unpretentious in the care. The composition is supplemented with irises, daffodils, daylily, geyher, and also decorated with curly stones, lichen, moss, gravel.

The most difficult is the floral mixborder type. Classic is considered to be a combination of roses with lupins, decorative onions, digitalis, delphinium and chamomile with cosmeye, calendula.

Landscape designers recommend planting together blue, red, yellow flowers, as well as crimson, purple, green, orange shades. Universal are white flowers. They select plants not only in height and color, but also in texture.

Beautiful ornamental shrubs

Fruit bushes

Summer residents think not only about which bushes to plant along the fence, but also how to make them useful. A wonderful decision will be fruit bushes.

The barberry will not only protect the site from prying eyes, but will also give excellent-tasting berries, which are widely used in cooking. Hazel will delight you in the summer with lush greenery, and in the fall - with tasty nuts.

Trees

Most trees wonderfully perform the function of a hedge, so each owner chooses what to plant. The hedge of fir trees grows high, securely closes the area from prying eyes. Trees require treatment at the beginning of the season from diseases and pests.

Unpretentious tue can be given almost any shape. Fir has a beautiful crown, easy to care for. Juniper perfectly adapts to weather conditions. Pine will appreciate the excellent decorative qualities, but will require regular cutting and watering in hot weather.
