Or at least let's create this pink world in our garden. Pink is the color of romantics, it gives hope and joy, adjusts to spiritual harmony with the outside world, calms, creates a feeling of comfort.

Many artists have created amazing, unforgettable gardens with their own hands, which have become living works of art. Perhaps the most famous is the impressionist painter Claude Monet's garden at Giverny.

The master chose the plants himself and in such a way that every season of the year the garden would dress in its own unique color. The result is an amazing combination of fruit trees and many flowers with a rich palette of colors. Thanks to this garden, many paintings have appeared.

Our garden plots were originally intended for fruit, berry, vegetable and flower plants.

Some splashes of white flowers will emphasize the tenderness and grace of the main color. To make the colored "strokes" brighter and more expressive, several specimens of each species or variety should be planted side by side, usually 3-5, and more ground cover and bulbous ones. At the same time, the height of plants is taken into account, placing undersized plants in the foreground, medium-sized plants in the second, and tall ones in the background.

It is important to arrange and arrange the plants according to their requirements for growing conditions: light, moisture, soil. When flowers are in "their" places, they feel great, bloom profusely, and it is more convenient to care for them.

Interesting new varieties of primrose auricula with bell-shaped flowers resembling gloxinia: they are decorated with a white border and the same pharynx.

Japanese primroses, Florinda have multi-tiered inflorescences. One of the last to bloom is Siebold's primrose with umbrellas of lilac-pink fragrant flowers, similar to phlox. For primroses and daisies, semi-shady places with moist fertile soil are suitable. These plants multiply easily by dividing the bushes into separate rosettes, and this should be done as the clumps grow. They can be transplanted throughout the season, even during flowering.

Among the light-loving ground cover species, the subulate phlox, obrietia, have pink, lilac flowers. Armeria seaside from compact outlets throws out low peduncles with capitate bright pink inflorescences. Flowering occurs from late spring to early summer.

In June, a pink-lilac cloud of small fluffy flowers blooms basil aquifer. In terms of size, leaf shape and requirements for growing conditions, it is very similar to aquilegia (catchment).
