Hawthorn grows equally well in dry and wetlands, in the shade and in the sun, easily adapts to weather conditions.

Another medicinal and, of course, beautiful plant is viburnum. common- a tall, lush bush, with brown bark, dense green foliage, which turns red in autumn.


For low curbs, you can use a low and dense grade. boxwood(Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa) is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with very beautiful shiny dark green leaves.

Boxwood is perfect not only for decorating a balcony in an oriental style, but also for ceremonial trimmed borders. Several varieties of boxwood have been bred, which differ not only in the shape of the leaf, but also in the variegated color of the leaves.

Boxwood is shade-tolerant and drought-resistant, prefers fertile loose soils without stagnant water. For the winter, it is advisable to cover the boxwood with an agrospan to protect the leaves from winter and early spring sunburn.

For border plantings, it is quite possible to use some varieties. Fortune's euonymus(Euonymus fortunei) is a slow-growing, very low, creeping shrub up to half a meter high with long, up to 3 meters, easily rooted shoots in internodes. These shoots are quite capable of clinging to the support, if any. At Fortune's euonymus, small green leathery leaves are 2-5 centimeters long.

This species, as well as its hybrid forms, for example, Forchun's variegated euonymus (Euonymus fortunei Variegatus) with white-green leaves and pink veins, which can also be used as a ground cover plant. And ripening fruits will not only add decorativeness to the bushes, but also serve as food for birds.

Forchuna's euonymus prefers a semi-trunk, is sufficiently drought-resistant, tolerates pruning well.

Karagana(Caragana) has long been used as an ornamental plant. Perhaps most of us know it as an acacia growing in forest belts and parks, but in fact it is a caragana. For example, types such as caragana prickly(Caragana pygmaea) and caragana orange(Caragana aurantiaca) are capable of creating even impenetrable thickets if they are not cut.

Orange caragana is a loose bush up to 1 meter tall with numerous protruding shoots.

It grows well in urban conditions, tolerates drought well, and is not at all demanding on soil fertility. It needs to be trimmed constantly to get a solid green border. Caragana prickly differs from orange only in yellow flowers.

Very handsome in a hedge snowberry(Symphoricarpos). Snowberry is a deciduous shrub up to 1-1.5 meters high, especially beautiful in autumn, during prolonged fruiting, when the branches bend under the weight of numerous white berries, which really resemble small drifts of snow. Or maybe it is called that because the berries on the bush hold for a long time, right up to the snow.

The snowberry grows very quickly, is completely unpretentious in care, prefers open sunny places, calcareous soils. Grows well in urban conditions with insufficient watering. Well tolerates cutting and bush formation. Sometimes in severe snowless winters it can freeze slightly, but it recovers very quickly.

For a low hedge, you can use a semi-evergreen honeysuckle lustrous, or shiny(Lonicera nitida) with many lodging shoots, abundantly covered with shiny green oblong leaves.

Shiny honeysuckle grows well both on sandy and clay soils, if you take measures to increase fertility, make the land water and air permeable. Grows well in open, sunny places, and in partial shade. Honeysuckle is brilliant thermophilic, therefore, in our climate, it loses its leaves for the winter and can freeze slightly, therefore it requires shelter for the winter.

and capiform honeysuckle(Lonicera pileata), which differs from the first in fragrant pale yellow flowers. Fruiting, medium-sized fruits with cherry, purple color. Honeysuckle cauliflower can grow both in the sun and in partial shade; in addition, it is more hardy than glossy honeysuckle, but in cold winters it still loses its leaves.

Low almonds, or steppe almonds(Amygdalis nana = Amygdalis tenella = Prunus tenella) is a low, up to 1-1.5 meters tall, branchy deciduous shrub, especially beautiful in early spring, when it blooms with very bright, eye-catching, pink flowers blooming with leaves. Almonds are unpretentious, so they can be successfully used to create permanent garden compositions, flower beds.

Low almonds prefer sunny places, calmly tolerate drought, can grow on poor sandy soils. On clay soils, drainage will have to be done for almonds, since it does not at all tolerate stagnant water in the soil.

Suitable for low curbs Dammer's cotoneaster(Cotoneaster dammeri), cotoneaster pressed(Cotoneaster adpressus), horizontal cotoneaster(Cotoneaster horizontalis). Dammer's cotoneaster is a ground cover evergreen shrub with long, easily rooting shoots and small, only up to 4 centimeters, oval leaves. In autumn, ripening red fruits add decorativeness to the cotoneaster.

The cotoneaster is a deciduous ground cover. He has small, up to 1.5 centimeters, rounded leaves. The red fruits also ripen in September.

Cotoneaster is undemanding to soil fertility, can grow in an open sunny place, and in partial shade, do not tolerate severe waterlogging, but very responsive to watering in dry times. For the winter, these types of cotoneaster need to be covered, as they freeze slightly.

Potentilla is very decorative. Suitable for low hedges daurian cinquefoil(Potentella davutica) and shrub cinquefoil(Potentella fruticosa).

Daurian cinquefoil is a low deciduous shrub up to 1 meter tall, blooms with white flowers all summer. Shrub cinquefoil - neat shrubs of a rounded shape, but slightly higher than Daurian cinquefoil, blooms with yellow flowers, there are varietal forms with white, pink and red flowers. In care, Potentilla are unpretentious, grow well in an open sunny area with minimal watering and top dressing. They tolerate a haircut well, they do not require shelter for the winter.

For dry areas with poor soil for hedges, you can use a steppe plant such as gorse dye(Genista tinctoria) is a dense shrub up to 1 meter tall with thin shoots directed upwards. Shoots are covered with narrow pale green leaves. It blooms with bright yellow flowers. The shrub is very unpretentious, although it can freeze slightly in snowless winters, but it quickly recovers.

the Rose(Rose) - in no way inferior in beauty to rhododendon, rather equal among equals - a worthy representative of ornamental garden shrubs. For low curbs, it is quite possible to use groundcover, miniature, patio, polyanthus, and even some low-growing varieties of floribunda roses. Neatly trimmed, or growing freely - roses never leave you indifferent.

However, in order for roses to always be in excellent condition, you need to work hard: roses are quite whimsical. The soil they need is nutritious, moderately moist. Roses need both thinning and sanitary pruning. All roses need to be covered for the winter.

For some reason to currant(Ribes) and gooseberries(Grossularia) we are used to treating only as fruit shrubs. However, it is worth looking at them from the other side. Any currant is decorative during the growing season: in spring, during flowering, and in summer, during fruiting, and even without fruit.

All currants and gooseberries are very similar, but for a short hedge is quite suitable alpine currant(Ribes alpinum) is a compact and rather dense deciduous shrub up to 1.5 meters high, a dioecious plant, female specimens are suitable for fruiting. True, the berries of the alpine currant are tasteless. Alpine currant is quite unpretentious, grows well in sunny areas, undemanding to soils, but when feeding, the shrub is much thicker, tolerates pruning well, does not need shelter.

The Japanese chaenomeles hedge is very decorative. Chaenomeles japanese(Chaenomeles japonica), or japonica- dense deciduous shrub up to 1 meter high. Chaenomeles is very beautiful during flowering, when it is covered with marvelous red flowers. When tied, small rounded fruits with a pleasant lemon taste and smell are formed, from which jam and jams are made.

However, the Japanese chaenomeles needs protection from the northerly winds. It is photophilous, grows best in fertile, well-drained soils. In winter, shoots can freeze slightly, but in spring they quickly recover. With strong thickening, thinning is required.

From this list, it is quite possible to select plants that are ideal for your site, according to the requirements for keeping conditions, fertility, acidity and soil moisture.

There is absolutely no need to go against nature and plant Mahonia or rhododendron on poor dry soils, or in wet swampy areas - almonds, gorse or boxwood. Only plants ideally suited to your conditions will grow quickly, become a real highlight of the garden, and most importantly, do not require much care.

Ornamental shrubs are an integral part of a beautiful garden. From them, you can create a hedge, decorate the area in front of the house with them, zone the territory in the country. It is advisable to choose plants so that the flowering of one follows the flowering of the other, and flowering bushes coexist with decorative leaves. At the same time, it is important to take into account the requirements of each shrub to the climatic conditions of Bashkiria and opt for zoned varieties and species. Caring for these plants will not require much effort, and they will decorate the garden all season.

Criteria for the selection of shrubs for growing in the garden

Before planting perennial plants in the garden, you should familiarize yourself with which ones are suitable for growing in Bashkiria.

The main requirements that shrubs must meet:

  • the ability to winter with minimal losses;
  • drought resistance;
  • wind resistance.

The climate of Bashkiria is distinguished by its stability. The main part of Bashkortostan is located in the southern part of the Urals, where the continental climate prevails. Winter is frosty, without sudden jumps and changes in temperature. In winter, thermometer readings are rarely below minus 20-22 ° С. The snow cover is sufficient to prevent freezing of the roots of perennial frost-resistant plants.

The temperature below zero is set at the end of October, and its rise begins in the first ten days of April. Return frosts are possible until mid-May, in rare cases, they occur until the end of the month. When choosing shrubs, it is best to plant late flowering varieties so that frost does not spoil the beauty of the plants during flowering.

In summer, there is little rainfall, so it is preferable to opt for plants that are not demanding on the irrigation regime. There is almost no heat in the summer. Average temperature 20-23 ° C.

Due to the proximity to the steppes of Kazakhstan and the Orenburg region, there are strong winds in summer. It is better not to plant shrubs with brittle shoots.

The main criterion for the selection of plants is that it is important to be based not only on decorative qualities, but also on adaptability to the climatic conditions of the region. Frost resistance and drought resistance will allow shrubs to bloom beautifully and decorate the garden with minimal maintenance. Other plants may need shelter for the winter and constant watering.
