Conifers for shady sections. Plants for shadow garden - select the optimal range

Ponds in the garden

Why sometimes even in neighboring sites grow differently coniferous plants? In addition to running groundwater, the composition of the soil, the roses of winds, buildings and structures on the plants still affects the lighting. This is one of the main factors on which the good development of your coniferous favorites depends. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right coniferous plants for your site, or rather, for solar and shadow seats.

I am surprised that inexperienced gardeners buy coniferous trees And the bushes just because they liked. Without determining the most appropriate place For their landing. But each type, sometimes even some varieties, we need certain conditions for growth. Otherwise they will be exhausted, root, die. About one of these conditions - lighting, we will tell you today.

Remember that high-quality planting material is the key to good survival and healthy growth. Nursery Ecoplant. Always glad you help in choosing and acquiring the most beautiful coniferous bushes and trees. I draw attention to the banners in the upper left corner of the page - a huge world of coniferous plants is lighted for this veil.

Pine lighting.
Now the pines are about 100 species, they are all diverse, but very popular sinths of Waemutova, a variety of pine mountains, and of course, different varieties of pine ordinary.

In the photo of Pine Wimutova "Min":


Most of the pines love sunny places. If you have a lot of shadow on the site, then it is better to give up from a pine, or at least try to plant a pine Waemutov in a half. Here it is quite normally developing in such places. The main thing is that the shadow is not complete.

Yes, by the way, the varieties of pine trees with Petrocean, too prefer light half. Then the painting of them becomes brighter and more beautiful.

Lighting for fir.
Food species numbered much less - 50 species. And the popular very spree Serbian, ordinary, Canadian (sisaya) and barbed. They all have excellent varieties that require lighting in different ways.

In the photo spruce, an ordinary "Acokon":

But mainly ate don't really like the open sunMoreover, at the young age. Most likely, will happen sunburn. And Spruce Canadian and all of its varieties will definitely land in the shade. Then you will sleep calmly, the Christmas tree will fit perfectly. In the open place, she will not survive!

That's just a spiny spray (or blue) grows well on the lit places. Let a few hours a day fall on her shadow, but mostly the sun!

You can also classify varieties with golden cheese or multi-colored growth. And if they are in the shade, then alas, exotic color will be lost.

Lighting for juniper.
Total types of juniper numbers around 70. But most common types of gardeners are most common: Juniper Cossack, scaly, ordinary, horizontal, virgin, rock and Chinese. Most of them love light! In the complete shadow they fade, they will warm. Therefore, be sure to land them in open places.

In the photo Juniper Cossack Tamariscifolia:


But if you really wanted to plant juniper in the shade, maybe it remains such a shadow place, I advise you to plant an ordinary juniper. He will not let you down, but do you know why? Because it grows in nature in the undergrowth, and there is mostly shadow.

But columnial, elongated juniper due to such a shape of the crown can burn in the sun. Therefore, define them in the half. Or, so that they will be illuminated in an incomplete day.

Lighting for Tui.
If you are not sure that you can pick up suitable coniferous plants for your site so that they do not burn in the sun, and do not flex a shadow, then I advise you to land the western. These are perfect coniferous plants for lit and shadow seats. Even a complete shadow is not a barrier for the normal growth of the Tui.

In the photo Tuya Western Smaragd:


But I note that the Tui varieties with Petroy and yellow paintings are still better to plant on the illuminated places. Then they will have a colorful, healthy needle.

Illumination for Tsugi.
Total has 10 types of Tsugs, but the main favorite view is Canadian Tsuga. And of course, its diverse and beautiful varieties.

In the photo Tsuga Canadian Penndula:


This coniferous plant prefers only a shadow. And on the site there is always such a place where nothing really grows, but I would like to embellish him. The Canadian Tsuga is just suitable for shadow space. It will be great to grow under the woods of trees, near buildings in the shade, on the northern side of the arbor.

Soot coniferous plants in properly selected places, and you will find yourself in time in beautiful gardenWho could only dream!

What are coniferous to put on the plot? Coniferous Plants for Garden: Rules for constructing compositions. What fertilizers in spring are needed for coniferous plants?

Coniferous plants - Some of the most undemanding and decorative plants Garden: beautiful all year, durable, decades do not lose decorativeness, do not require special care, do not need regular trimming and formation, supports, systematic feeding and spraying, unlike deciduous shrubs do not need to be rejuvenated.

If coniferous is planted in accordance with the requirements for growing conditions, the care of them comes down to the following:

  • watering into drought or regular irrigation on dry sandy soils;
  • introduction (optional, but desirable) nitrogen (and better than complete) fertilizers in spring and in summer 2-3 times per season;
  • shelter for the winter of non-dimest species;
  • crouching dried and very barbed old twigs.

If winter-hardy species are planted (and their range is quite diverse), it can be said that coniferous plants require the smallest care compared to all other plants for decorative decoration.

Omitting nonoraous resistant in conditions middle strip Russia of biota, cypress, cryptomeria and other conifers, give short description Winter-hardy coniferous plants and features of their use in decorative design.

Spruce. All ate enough unpretentious, grow well in the shade and in the sun, prefer moderately wet soils: they do not wear stagnation of water, do not like dry soils. Blue and silvery forms need the sun, in the shade of the color is lost. Spruce spray, Serbian and other major species are planted with groups, in small gardens - single on the lawn. Low I. dwarf species And the forms look well in coniferous kindergartens and rockers. The most popular spruce is a conical shape of Eli Siza, or Canadian, "Conika". Numerous forms of ELI SIZE differ both in height (from 0.8 m to 4 m) and the shape of the crown and in the color of the needles (from light and dark green to bluish and golden). From a variety of forms of spruce, or European, for private gardens, low decorative forms are the greatest interest - 'virgata' (tall up to 5 m), nesting-'nidiformis' (1 m), pillow - 'Echiniformis', 'Maxwelii' et al. (0.6 m), prostrate - 'procumbens' (0.5 m) and various dwarf shapes with a variety of coloring needles.

- light-minded, fast-growing breed, not demanding soils. The larchs of European and thin-blooded, or Japanese, there are garden forms: "colored", dwarf, peeling, brave and serpentine. Good in solitary landing and low species groups - in stony garden And on the lawn. Tall shapes are not recommended to plant in small gardens.


Lzetsuga (pseudotussuga) - fast-growing tall breed, extremely unpretentious. Svetigubiv, soils are unloaded, put up with the conditions of the city. Used for group and single landings. Low and dwarf shapes are planted in the garden of coniferous plants and on the rocky hill.


A varieties of popular cypressovikoviki - Gorokhbody and Lavson - can grow in a light shadow on fertile soil, moisture and dryness, dried badly. There are more than hundreds of garden forms that differ in size and shape of the crown, coloring needles; Dwarfs for rocky slides, compact medium-sized and trees plants above 5 m. Externally, very similar to that. Cypressians are still relatively common in our gardens. And, accordingly, little data on the winter hardiness of these plants. It is better to cover them for the winter while the sizes are allowed to avoid damage or death of the plant. At the same time, it turned out that the cypressian of the Gorokhornod's 'Boulevard', previously considered with us indoor plant, winter under Moscow without shelter.


All types of juniper has similar grades of growth: They are light-loving, endure a light shadow, very unpretentious, can grow on limestones, rocky slopes, sands, although preferred garden soils of moderate humidity, better than other coniferous drought. Among juniper there are sharpening forms, and colon-shaped. They are planted in rocky gardens, natural-style gardens, dense groups and solites.


- High Tree with a beautiful conical crown, similar to fir. Unpretentious, shadowed. Prefers deeply treated soil of moderate humidity. Beautiful in the alleys, a group of free shape and in a single landing. Low and dwarf shapes are appropriate in rocky garden.


- fast-growing tree. Very unpretentious, grows on poor sandy soils. Unusually light-headed, does not make shadows. It tolerates drought well. Soshibrine is used in single or group landings. Low garden shapes are planted in small gardens, spherical and column, dwarf.


Low pine pine and its dwarf molds Also light-headed and unpretentious. Plant in stony gardens, on a sandy slope.


Different with shadowness. Does not carry out the stagnation of moisture and drought. To the soils are not demanding. Fast growing breed, relatively resistant smoke and soot. There are low and dwarf shapes, shapes with a bluish cheese. Plant single or group, in the garden of coniferous plants and in rocky garden.


Pine cedar European, or cedar European (not to be confused with the true cedar - atlasmight, Himalayan, Lebanese, which we do not win), - a slowly growing high majestic tree. In the young age of shadow, grows on moderately wet soils. Decorative dwarf shapes with a height of 0.4 to 0.8 meters are planted on the Alpine slides.


- Shrub height 3-5 meters. Slightly, to the soils are undemanding. Sensitive to dry air and soil. Use in stony gardens and on the slopes. The shape with a bluish mustache is the most spectacular.


- Extremely slowly growing plant. Unpretentious, exclusively shadowed. It grows on moderately wet soils containing lime, but can grow on dry. Drought-resistant. By the way, drought-resistant and at the same time shadowish plant - rarity B. vegetable world. May grow in extreme conditions, under a canopy of large trees. It is suitable for industrial areas, transfers air pollution, grows well in normal conditions. There are about a hundred species, from soil plants to columnar trees. The shrub shape of the berry tees is widely used for living ingots, free and cutting (well tolerate trimming). The column form is an exceptionally elegant soliter.


It grows in the sun and in a half-way on any sufficiently damp nutrient. Transfers excessive moisturizing, on dry shady places Krone radiates. It tolerates the haircut well, settled in the living hedges. A large number of A variety of garden forms makes it possible to use in all kinds of decorative designs. Often, the incident of large areas of conifers significantly reduces plant decorativeness. In the conditions of the middle strip of Russia, the frost resistant is only the Tui Western and its shape. Thuja eastern and folded (giant) frozen.


The most unpretentious and decorative - tears, spruce, fir, juniper and pines. These coniferous plants have such a number of garden forms and species, completely unhappy among themselves, that, choosing only from them, you can arrange a garden for every taste.

When used in the design of Tui and cypressians, some caution is needed, which is explained by a large number of garden forms similar to each other. In the absence of catalogs in Russian, it is impossible to be guaranteed to determine the plant and, therefore, it is impossible to know its final sizes, the form of the crown, the peculiarities of the departure and the degree of winter hardiness.

Garden forms of coniferous plants (spherical, breaking, column, "color", etc.) are more demanding on growing conditions than natural species and, as a rule, more frequent and less winter-hardy. Village strambed forms will need more attention than the cornesological.

Coniferous plants with the correct form of the crown (conical, column-like, spherical, pyramidal) possess asymmetry relative to the parties of the world: the northern side of the plant looks worse, the branches are shorter and less often than from the south side. It is advisable to place coniferous so that the review is with a southern, more winning side.

Conifers grow with a different speed. Hutting them into a single composition, it is necessary to take into account not only the final dimensions that plants will be achieved in several decades, but also a growth rate, otherwise you can find that fast-growing foreground plants were overtaken in growth and obscure slow-growing conifers, which in final The variant should be above the first, but after many years. I am doing the growing conditions of most conifers allow to plant them together without breaking the principle of biological unity.

It is worth knowing and remember

For normal development, coniferous plants require a sufficiently deep (at least 60 cm) layer of moisture and air-permeable structural soil. When planting conifers on heavy clay soils on the bottom landing pit Located a 20-centimeter layer of drainage consisting of a mixture of gravel (pebbles, rubbents, broken bricks, etc.) with sand.

Cypressians and Tui are very sensitive to humidity of soil and air, do not tolerate cuts. In some species, even one-time soil breaking can lead to yellowing and eliminating parts of the needles (fuel cypress). Weekly spraying and watering: 1-2 buckets on the plant. In the arid summer, the number and frequency of irrigation and spraying dwells (*). The rest of conifers in additional irrigation need only in drought. Ate, fir, larchs are watered at the rate of 1-2 buckets (depending on the size) per week on the plant all arid period. Juniper, teasing, pseudootsuy and young pines - 2-3 times in the summer. Adult pines in additional irrigation do not even need drought.

Forms of coniferous plants with atypical coloring needles (yellow, bronze, golden, sizo-blue, silver) in the shade lose their painting partially or completely, but this does not apply to white-motley plants.

Many young pines can grow in a half, but if over time they do not break to the sun, they will dry and die.

Young coniferous plants The first year or two after the landing is better to strengthen the plant and on top of the snow. Adult plants (of those listed above) is enough frost-resistant and do not need in shelter.

You can never buy coniferous plants with bare roots, for sure. Saplings must be with a packed lore land or in a container. Unlike deciduous plants, conifers cannot restore the turgor when soaking in water. At the dying coniferous plant, the needles can still hold on, not attenuating, creating the illusion of a live plant. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully examine the coniferous plant, and buy it only if the fresh increase and the tips of the branches retain flexibility, and do not break. At the same time, some triumpament or rose confusion in the fall is quite natural, the plant is preparing for winter, so coniferous is better to buy in the spring when the increase in the roots of the current year is visible, and not in the fall, when it is difficult to distinguish the dying plant from the preparing for winter.

The use of coniferous plants in the garden design is very diverse. Coniferous plants can be planted with free-shaped groups and single on the lawn, small modular compositions of 3-5 plants, in a separate garden of coniferous plants as a peelers of coniferous boron, in alive hedges and alleys, low and dwarf shapes - in rocky garden and slopes. In small gardens, you should not land a lot of tall coniferous (ate, fir, false lines, larches, cedars). Over time, they turn into large trees that occupy a lot of space give a complete shadow, and, as a result, suppress the surrounding plants. The most suitable range of conifers for such a garden - little plants Pulling and colonid form in combination with 2-3 large plants or, if the dimensions of the site do not even allow this, at least with one tall conifer as an accent. Garden from some low coniferous plants may be boring. The coniferous ministry has a natural beautiful crown shape and do not need to form. But spruce, thui, juniper and tess can be cut to create a living hedge or figurine trimmed solitizers in the garden with regular layout. Some plants only correct natural shape: it is usually cut in the form of a cone, so western f. Globosa - in the form of a bowl, although they can be formed otherwise. The formed TISS due to slow growth can long retain the form given to him.

Living fence from coniferous plants, common in Western countries, will require additional concerns compared to freely growing. In addition, the cutting hedge from the Tui in good condition is not often found, it is usually all in the brown spots that are released on a flat right surface. In the hedge of a free form easier to hide flaws. A cutting fence from the shrub shape of the berry berry is impeccable, but it grows too slowly and in our climate does not exceed 120 cm.

The garden of coniferous plants on the rocky hill is a common option. As a rule, low, dwarf and sharpening forms are planted. Relatively high plants - only columns. The higher the plant, the need to be Croon. Growing conditions here are special. Groundwater is far away, and rainwater flies quickly from the slopes, without having time to absorb them, so there is always a lack of moisture. From lovers of dry soils - one pinea da juniper Cossack, the rest of coniferous is not useful. The problem of watering can be solved, jumping next to the plants planted by 2-3 vessels with small holes in the day. Water, filling the vessels with water, which is slowly absorbed into the ground through the holes and falls to the roots, and not to the foot of the rocky slide, as it happens with the usual watering method. It is convenient to use as vessels plastic bottles From underwear, circumcised to height 12-15 cm. They are easily assembled by the desired amount, it is not difficult to pierce the holes, they will not hurt the frozen water in winter, the unintelligine neck can be masked.

The garden of coniferous plants does not require much care, but even the most unpretentious plants Weighing weeds. Coniferous on well-groomed black earth look, of course, beautiful, but maintain the coniferous garden free of weeds is not easy. Rechant properly selected soil plants significantly simplifies care. Frequently landfills, Yaskolki, Shilovoid Floxes, Carnations, Arabis, Oblatives and others soil plants - Not at all good option: Plants with small narrow leaves do not form with a jewelery of an expressive contrasting combination. In addition, the plants listed are needed other conditions for growing than coniferous. The soil repair is required dry, poor organic, but containing lime land. Conifer needed soil wet and nutritious. Yes, even coniferous will shade soil, very demanding on the conditions of lighting. It is easier to loom everything in a row than choosing weeds from the soil.

Forest soil plants in their agrotechnical requirements are more matching conifer. Grow in the shadow and seventeen on wet nutrient soils. The best of them is hoofed. Evergreen heart-shaped shiny dark green leaves create a beautiful background, forming a contrast combination with a cheese. The hoofer is easily multiplied by the division of rhizomes and seeds, for 2-3 years it forms a dense cover, under which weeds do not grow. You can land a well-covering ground with a luggage, but the color pains with a height of up to 25 cm can obscure the peeling types of coniferous plants. Under the lowest coniferous can be planted tightly pressed to the ground, a mellite coin vebel ( moneywort). Its rapid growing shoots in one summer cover the ground with a dense carpet. It is very good when you need to close large square for a short time. The soil types of Veronica use the same as the shipyard. Barwinka is somewhat high, can challenge low types of conifers and absolutely not suppressing weeds. The valley are appropriate under large trees with thick trunks. It is not worth it as soil planting yellow and voyage plants: a calm dark green background. The most favorable way emphasizes the crown shape and the color of the needles.

Under the coniferous above 1.5-2 m, it is possible to plant sharpening shrubs - Magonia, Kizilniki, honeysuckle. Successfully combining coniferous with hens, especially since in natural conditions they often grow together. Erika more arrogant and create only additional problems.

Very nice coniferous look next to the boulders, stone blocks. The use of rubble or pebbles as a background or mulch, preventing the growth of weeds, is very controversial. To contain crushed stone in purity when the needles falling throughout the year may be harder than weeding.

Plants with colored cheese will decorate any garden. Usually they are used as accents, plant single or small groups. Blue, white-motley and silvery conifers surrounded by plants with dark cheese, especially picturesque. It is clear to the "colored" forms of coniferous plants - everything is beautiful. Only coniferous yellow and especially bronze color often cause bewilderment: a separate plant with a yellow cheevey looks very impressive, but planted among natural green plants seems to be sick or dead.

Elegant gray-blue or silvery plants try to plant closer on the front, forgetting that if dark green plants are planted behind them, the garden space is visually shrinking. So that the kindergarten seemed more, bright green plants are planted on the foreground, and the plants with the joy of muffled gray and gray and gray-colored - rear.

(*) It should be noted that the recommended fertilizers, loosenings, additional watering and spraying of moisthed conifers, of course, will benefit all the plants, especially young. If this does not do this, with conifers nothing bad will not happen, except that they will slightly retain in growth compared to more well-groomed specimens. Unfavorable only congestive overjoyment for all coniferous and long-term cuts moisture-loving speciesYes, and the lack of moisture will reflect only on the needle (yellowing and dying in the depths of the crown), artificially a plant, which may be interesting. So coniferous can sometimes leave for any time without any care.

Garden layout is due to many subtleties and nuances. Often landscape designers solve a large set of tasks, gardening garden. Of course, it is an interesting and at the same time severe task. With its device, pays great attention to the selection of planting material.


If you encountered shadow zones - no foundation is upset. For frequent, this zone can become a key element of the garden. In order for it to be decorative, it is necessary to carefully select an assortment for the shadow garden. With the right selection of landing material, this zone will find bright shades.

Material for such a garden - forest cultures. Most plants that are used in the garden device can be calmly met in the forest.

When selecting an assortment, it is worth paying special attention to color and texture foliage. Do not forget about the combination of forms. Flowering in these gardens is expressed in calm colors, minimum of bright colors. Flower beds of this type have calm shades. Whatever the gardening area looked a little contrast, it is recommended to use decorative and deciduous plants with edging white color (Elegantisima). This technique contributes to the expansion of the perspective and creating depth. With proper layout of trees and shrubs, even the shadow area can turn into a beautiful, blooming oasis.
