Grass herbs - welcome guests in any garden. And the point is not at all that these plants are confidently settled on the pedestal of fashion, slightly pushing the recognized favorites. The secret of their delicate charm - in combination of a "priestly character" and amazing all-season. The cereals are very unpretentious and grow practically on any, even the poorest soil. They are perfectly tolerated drought and almost not afraid of frosts, which means they do not need special shelters. Even in the summer, when the garden is striking with bright colors, they are not lost on a common background, and in the fall and at all play the first violin at all: they change the color, painting in yellow, red, orange and silver tones. And if you do not cut flush sweaters until the next spring, then in the winter they will serve as an elegant decoration of a monochrome snow-covered garden. And most importantly, cereals are ready to take direct participation in any landscape composition. Do not believe? Let's experiment together!

In flower beds, cereals look more than original - they give the compositions a contrast and ease, at the same time having fully sharing their neighbors. Fluffy inflorescences are very moving in the wind, their drying will provide the dynamics of garden landscape. On monoclumbach, where the plants of one color or type are usually assembled, cereals will also become welcome: they will dilute and revive the picture, give it the originality. To make sure this is enough to plant the Iris and cereal herbs in the neighborhood. On lawns, the cereals look impurities in garden modules or in the curtains. But remember: It is important for such landings to pick up the most spectacular cereals of herbs, because here they solo. Even a live fence can be made up of tall cereals. Such an exotic live fence will look much more effectively, rather than a fence from shrubs or conifers, and you will not have to care for him - the herbs will do everything themselves.

Garden of cereals - perhaps the most spectacular and trendy landscape object. For its device you will need a lot of various cereal herbs, which differ from each other with a height, a curtain form, silhouette, tint of foliage and even inflorescences. Planting the selected plants should be as well as the flowers on the flower bed, consistent with the basic laws of the composition. For these purposes, select the outdoor sunny corner and land the grass with separate curtains closer to each other. IMPORTANT: Despite his unpretentiousness, one "Caprice" in the cereal grasses is still available. Before living in a permanent place, they should gain strength in the "school" - on a small separate bed with well-treated soil, otherwise the more powerful plants will not allow them to turn around in all its glory.

To properly choose plants for different garden corners, focus on their height. Low cereals (up to 20-50 cm) are good as soil crops. Use them to decorate rockers or creating curbs and carpet flower beds. Plants with a height of 50 to 100 cm are suitable for mixboraders and multi-tiered flower beds, and "giants" (more than 100 cm) look great in the form of soliters or in group landings in combination with coniferous cultures.
