The most frost-resistant perennials for the north - a wide choice for every grower

What perennials for the north would you advise to plant on a private plot? While we have acquired only conifers, young pines and spruces have been planted on both sides. But I, who grew up in a warm southern climate, really miss bright colors. Our site is not yet very inhabited, we moved a year ago, I would like it to be fragrant and colorful in the summer. What flowers can survive in northern latitudes?

Real flower growers who are crazy in love with their hobby are not afraid of any obstacles. Only climatic conditions can prevent them from turning their flower beds and front gardens into a flower jungle. For example, perennials for the north should be characterized by increased winter hardiness. In northern latitudes, summers are short, and winters are especially fierce. Frosts can be all minus 40 ° C, freezing the soil to a depth of a couple of meters. Agree that only the most persistent flowers can survive in such conditions. Fortunately, these types exist.

Perennials for the north - beautiful and frost-resistant crops

Among the flowers that winter in the open field without problems, there are many plants that are adapted to the harsh northern conditions. In the spring, literally from under the snow, buds of primroses break through. Summer flowering crops bloom here a little later, closer to July. And even though the autumn is short and cold, September snow is not a hindrance for some autumn colors.

When choosing plants, give preference not to modern novelties, hybrids, but to local zoned crops. Perhaps there will not be such a variety of colors and shapes among them, but they will definitely withstand the northern climate. Especially if you cover them carefully.

Cold-hardy primroses for late spring

Primroses are among the very first to bloom in the Siberian steppes. Many of them are grown in private plots, because these plants are unpretentious and persistent.

For example, they grow quickly, are not afraid of the cold and will delight you with early flowering:

1. Sleep-grass or lumbago - they are even called Siberian snowdrops. The pubescent bells in dense curtains stand out sharply with their white, purple or yellow color.
2. Crocuses are winter-hardy bulbs of various colors.
3. Siberian Kandyk with delicate lilac flowers on a gracefully curved peduncle.
4. Muscari with small inflorescences of many miniature bells. The most common are blue and purple muscari, but there are also white ones.
5. Anemone - blooms in late spring. Wide-open white flowers with long stamens in the center do not last long, but they look beautiful.

Summer flowering perennials

Spring flowers are replaced by summer species that are comfortable in cool weather. Indeed, in the north, summer is never as hot as in the southern latitudes, and it does not last long.

Already in August, a cold snap comes, but this time is enough for them to bloom:

1. Bearded irises, among which you can pick up varieties that differ in terms of flowering.
2. The curly lily is a wild form of the plant that grows everywhere in Siberian meadows.
3. Daurian lily with large flowers of various colors.

In cold regions, it is quite possible to grow hydrangeas with roses, provided they are sheltered. Only choose the most frost-resistant species. From hydrangeas it is paniculate and tree-like, and of roses - park, climbing and floribunda.Tangut, Alpine and Siberian small-flowered clematis also successfully grow in Siberia.

Autumn perennials that will have time to bloom in the short northern fall

The list of autumn flowering species is not so long. Autumn in the north is very short, most often it lasts only a month and real winter comes in October.

But this time will be enough to admire the flowering:
