Features of growing plants
Deytion

Dheication responds well to organic fertilizing and pruning, it is desirable to carry out sanitary twice a year. For the winter, you need to cover it: cover the tree trunk with mulch, spruce branches are put on top. This shrub is a long-liver and, with proper care, will live in one place for up to 25 years.

Watering hibiscus in the dry period is carried out daily. To protect the plant from chlorosis, when feeding, often use mineral compounds with a nitrogen content, and when watering, you should sometimes add iron chelate.
Lilac 
This is one of the most frequent residents of Moscow suburban cottages. The plant is not capricious, it tolerates drought and frost well. The shrub likes good drainage, the soil prefers with a neutral reaction, but in general it is not exacting to the soil. An important caveat: in full shade lilac develops poorly, poorly blooms; on the sun, tender inflorescences and foliage get burned; as a result, the brush of inflorescences also shrink. Optimal for shrubs place with diffused sunlight.
The bush is demanding of several conditions: good lighting (poorly blooms in the shade), moderate watering (it does not tolerate dryness and excessive humidity), drainage and good “nutrition”. Jasmine needs annual pruning, sanitary procedures are carried out three times a year.
Clematis 
This ornamental shrub with a beautiful name is often planted near gazebos, arches and other supports for vertical decoration. Clematis has long roots, so groundwater in the area should be as far as possible from the surface. The plant needs lighting and protection from drafts; you should not plant it in the northern part of the garden.
Spirea 
Both penumbra and bright light are suitable for this plant. Shrub likes well-drained, loose, nutritious soil. After planting, the trunk circle covers peat mulch. Spirea root system is shallow, so it needs regular watering. The plant reacts equally well to mineral and organic fertilizers. Spirea grows heavily and needs a thorough pruning.
Hydrangea 
The bush is planted in the shade of the trees, but not very close to them, so that the plant is not deprived of moisture. It is best to plant a bush near the fence, it will serve as protection from the wind. Alkaline soil is unacceptable for hydrangea, the soil should be slightly acidic or neutral. Hydrangea loves abundant watering and spraying, it is better to use commercially available hydrangea complexes as fertilizing. Pruning is carried out no earlier than three to four years after planting.
Heather

Shrub is not afraid of excess moisture, so it is often used for planting raw and flooded areas. Derain is growing fast, loves haircuts.Watering is desirable only during periods of heat and drought, and top dressing is best done in the spring during the growth period and in summer during the flowering and fruit formation.
Euonymus 
The composition of the soil does not have requirements for a flowering shrub, but it must be loose and nutritious. Groundwater is extremely undesirable. Euonymus does not like dry soil, so after watering the soil is covered with mulch. For haircut favorably. In dressing better responds to organic.

Watering is needed only in the absence of precipitation, but in the conditions of the city (dust, exhaust gases) it is desirable to spray or wash the bush with a hose. For the winter, the trunk circle is covered; after snowfall, it is advisable to pile it around the trunk of the bush.

Magnolia 
Magnolia loves moisture, heat and light. Plant it preferably in an open sunny, but closed from the drafts place. Watering, especially during the growing season, often. Pruning per se is not needed; only old and damaged or diseased branches are removed as they appear. Sheltering for the winter is not necessary.
