3 Flowers That Will Blast Your Garden With Color Until September: Sow in March

While you are looking for rare varieties of roses, smart gardeners plant three “weeds” in March that bloom like crazy.

The first is the snapdragon. Its seeds germinate even under the snow, and by June the bushes are covered with "dragon" inflorescences of all shades.

Snapdragon loves coffee: once a month, add used coffee grounds under the roots - the inflorescences will become more luxuriant.

The second is nemesia. It is called the "silent killer" because it crowds out all the weeds, turning the flowerbed into a rainbow carpet.

Nemesia will survive even in asphalt cracks, but if you add a pinch of soda to the hole, its flowers will acquire a neon hue.

The third is Diascia. It does not need to be watered: the drier it is, the brighter the flowers.

Diascia can be “cheated”: pinch off the tops in July, and it will bloom again in September.

Plant them in boxes on the balcony in March and transfer them to the ground in May.

The secret is to sow the seeds in frozen ground: the cold awakens the wild power in them.

Important: never fertilize these flowers with manure: it will burn the roots. And one more important note: do not plant the listed plants next to roses: the "modest ones" will crush the queens of flowers with their aggressiveness.

And if you want to extend flowering until frost, spray them with water and sugar (1 teaspoon per liter) once every two weeks.

Already in June, your neighbors will be asking if you bought flowers at the store.
