Types and names of wild plants. Wild plants: name and meaning

The wild flowers in the garden provide a ton of color in late spring - a reminder of the blooming fields of yesteryear. Unfortunately, weeds are a serious problem in most soils, and even if they are not present, the site looks very dull when the flowers are absent.

Clusters of wildflowers growing among rocks and/or natural trees and shrubs are more attractive to many people than a meadow with wild flowers. Plant care is easier, and constant planting on the site provides some interest when the wild flowers die back.

A wild flower garden tends to be like a piece of countryside near your home - it can take up all or part of the area you own. A key feature is the blooming meadow with planted natural species that produce their delicate pastel colored flowers in spring and autumn. The design style is usually landscape, and its elements should match - wattle fences, rural benches, etc.

Creating a garden with wild flowers is not the easiest option. First of all, you need to remove the top 5 cm of soil, as you need infertile soil for wild flowers. In a small area, wild flowers can be planted in seedlings as an alternative to sowing seeds.

Cutting takes place in July - carefully mow down to about 10 cm and a few weeks after that remove the trimmings with a rake. Never apply fertilizer: In fertile soil, wildflowers can be quickly drowned out by weeds such as wheatgrass and nettles.

Natural garden is not the same. It will contain areas of wild flowers, but its key feature is the presence of objects that attract wildlife - birdhouses, water, piles of logs, berry bushes, natural and cultivated plants that attract butterflies, and so on.

Below are some photos of popular wild flowers and their names for your garden.

Meadow plants are a fairly rich community that develops more dynamically than mountain or steppe ones. Meadow flowers and grasses compete for light, nutrients, water, so they grow much more actively than their forest counterparts, as well as representatives of the mountains and steppes. Grassland plants include thousands of species, and most of them can be grown in your home gardens.

You can find photos and names of meadow flowers and herbs, as well as a description of meadow plants on this page.
