One
day in early spring several years ago , I looked at the birds that
visit the beautiful white clouds wildflowers serviceberry trees . This reminds me of concrete plants and shrubs that would make a lot of birds in my yard and gardens of native forests .
Instead of a group of one-of - a-kind shrubs boring , why not try different sizes, shapes and densified . What about mixing and vines fruiting shrub with several plants ? Mixed hedges provide many benefits for your garden, gardens and songbirds .
· Flowers , fruits and flavors
· Shelter from storms and predators
· Nests protected insurance
· That attractive to beneficial insects help pollinate plants and flowers all native
· Protein required in the form of caterpillars and insects to help grow strong and healthy chicks
I started with a fragrant spice bush blooms in late June and early July. Always a pleasure to see so many swallowtail butterflies , black and yellow , all dependent on this dark pink , lilac as aromatic Bush. Aussi saw some amazing butterflies and Ruby throated pay many visits to my spice bush . It was an excellent choice to start my mixed coverage .
The following year I planted some shrubs weigela . I like variety , so I chose dark red cultivars , dark pink , white and varied. Those mixed with pink spirea that was planted at the same time . This year , I received a double lilac my mother as a birthday gift . The following year, on 6 Rose of Sharon plants interspersed in my other planting hedges (1 double and 1 white lavender , dark pink 2, 2 and deep throat white with pink). They make light in early August , show butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial insects in abundance.
Since then, little by little I added black raspberry bushes a climbing rose (Robin Hood) and American Fly Honeysuckle with bittersweet and American holly plant . There is a climbing hydrangea ICT journey began three years green and on the east side of the house. Last spring, a vine hummingbird, and cheekbone and blackberry hedges joined . Meanwhile, spirea and black raspberries are grown to have its own , and I suspect that birds too.
Two months ago , I planted seeds Northern Bayberry , elderberry , raspberry and grape red fox. Deer fern fragrant comes from this area , and mingle with old factories and shrubs , with wild blueberries . Can you guess how many birds I have in my yard at once?
Next year I want to add silver lace vines to the landscape. American highbush blueberry, and flowers and fruit on Viburnums and Virginia Creeper vine on my list for future plantings . While some of my plants are considered invasive , I think the significant size at the end of the flowering season does wonders to keep everything under control. Furthermore, when densely planted in a mixed coverage configuration , each plant seems discovered another monitor , so that growth is not produced.
You can see in my history of the plantation that you do not have to install everything at once . I think it's best to be a fire sale at the end of the awards season . Each plant will have a label, if you know where to grow better. Consider the hours of sunshine you have, the part of your yard (protected or not) and their specific soil conditions . Also make sure you choose plants native to the area. This is what you are looking for birds will be, and the plants are acclimated to your area to have the best chance to thrive .
Over the years my garden has become a bird sanctuary makes me feel very proud and happy. There are fragrant and colorful flowers everyday thing here . And this is the best testimony that I can give to plant a mixed hedge .
More plants to birds :
Dogwoods · Produce flowers and red fruit plenty of birds to enjoy red or white roses .
· Provide fir and cedar fruit and seed that falls in the winter months .
· Fall Staghorn Sumac has beautiful bright red clusters prolific red berries that last all winter foliage .
