Perennials
What perennials do you grow in your garden? I don’t particularly like fiddling with seedlings, so I prefer perennial flowers that require a minimum of care. I have such flowers as cornflower, armeria, chabot carnation, peonies of different varieties, anemones, and phlox. I would like to plant something else interesting in the garden.
I have chrysanthemums growing - I simply adore them, the various varieties are just pleasing to the eye, also hydrangea, phlox, Siberian irises are blooming a little - they are beautiful.
And in our yard, for as long as I can remember, lupins have been growing - they sow themselves, grow on their own, no one takes care of them at all. And watersheds are also growing - lilac and pink, also with the same rights as old-timers.
I want a flowerbed like this, but I don’t know what flowers are suitable for it, can you tell me?
And the decoration of my garden is the common lilac Edward Harding, it is good because during flowering the double inflorescences change color three times: from the beginning they are crimson, then pink and at the end they acquire a lilac hue. You can buy this wonderful shrub here:

The nursery workers themselves brought the lilacs in a container (already quite large, about one and a half meters), I showed the place and they planted it. I was convinced that buying plants online is convenient and the price is good (without any intermediary markups)!
My flowerbed has the same set of flowers as you wrote. I also planted “September trees” - I don’t know what they are called in scientific language. They bloom in autumn with lilac flowers and still reproduce quickly. We planted only a dozen flowers three years ago, but now they have spread over a large enough area of the flowerbed that we even had to thin them out.
I also think that perennials are plants for lazy gardeners. So I planted them once in a flowerbed, and then I don’t even have to think about what else to plant there. Such a flowerbed will make you happy for several years, just make sure to water the weeds on it in time.
I love flowers, especially perennials. I also grow peonies, amazing flowers, and carnations are one of my favorites. But these have been growing for a long time, and last year I planted dahlias, primroses, and tulips.
Of the perennials, I grow daylilies, ferns, hostas, climbing roses, astilbes, forget-me-nots and perennial asters of various varieties. I’m planning to diversify my garden with chrysanthemums and dahlias; I’m a little short of bright colors in the fall.
I can recommend fern. I have three ferns planted in my recreation area, each in its own flower bed. It looks very good and impressive. Doesn't freeze in winter. Practically not susceptible to diseases. Advice. Just plant an odd number, of course. If the area is small, you can plant 1 bush; if the area allows, three to five will be quite appropriate
I love perennials. In my opinion, the ones that take root best and then grow are woodlands, viper onions, anemone and lilies of the valley.
The best option is to have perennial flowers in the country, blooming in different periods. Crocuses and tulips are good in spring, hosta is good in summer, irises and lilies are very beautiful now, and in autumn, of course, chrysanthemums.
We plant tulips, chrysanthemums, peonies, and also love ground covering plants and flowers. The site is not overgrown with weeds and although they do not bloom, they are not whimsical as plants.
I adore perennial asters, those that bloom in medium-sized pink-violet baskets with a yellow center, bloom from summer until frost, and at the same time they are probably one of the most unpretentious plants.
