Shelter flowers for the winter

Perennials are mostly frost-resistant and do not require special preparation for winter. Some simply need to be cut to the root and then covered with warming compost bedding. Some should be covered with foil. Other perennials require more care.

Roses, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas and some other tall species are cut off the stem to 20-30 cm, cleaned of leaves and damaged segments. Climbing plants are removed from the supports and laid on the ground, having previously cleared of dried leaves and shoots. Plants should be covered with peat or sawdust to cover them with spunbond or spruce branches.

If you are preparing bulbous plants for wintering, then cover the well-rooted bulbs with spruce branches, and mulch the rest from above. Make sure that your bulbous plantings are not flooded in the spring. Thus, you can easily prepare perennials for a quiet winter in the garden.
