The ornamental in the bed
Ornamental or simply Allium, as many gardeners call it, is undemanding and easy to care for.With his almost extravagant appearance, he makes a lot and attracts attention. So why not put him in the bed?
Pase Find partners for planting
Anyone who does not know the ornamental onion, will look worried when he sees that the plant already gets yellowish leaves towards April / May. That's completely normal. However, it does not look good and for this reason many gardeners underplant the ornamental garlic with groundcover or low-growing, horstbildenden perennials.
For example, all those plants that have similar site requirements are well suited for planting at the location of the ornamental corolla:
Which varieties are suitable for beds?
Basically all ornamental species and shrimp varieties are suitable for beds. It depends on where you want to plant the ornamental lilac. Should be more in the foreground of the bed? In the background? Or rather in the middle and between other shrubs?
For the foreground, you should choose low ornamental plants, such as the dwarf ornamental onion. For the background of the tall Giant Ornamental Lily is best suited. In the middle of the bed, the star-shaped ball-louse makes much and also the golden-lipped is not to be despised there, if it is combined with red-flowering perennials.
Fertilize and water regularly
The ornamental in the bed needs regular care. That should be self-evident:
Protect from snail
If the ornamental lily is still very young or freshly expelled in the spring, it is a delicious food for snails. They like to nibble it completely. If your bed is susceptible to snail attack, protect the ornamental spring in spring with a snail fence or similar. As of May, you can usually remove the protection.
Tips
In rough locations and sensitive varieties, in late autumn you should put a protective layer of brushwood over the area of the onion in the ground!
