Multi-tier flower beds for flowers

Beautiful and original design of the site will please every gardener, especially if he likes a large number of colors. Many like multi-tiered flower beds, which always look original and unusual. In addition, in most cases, such a structure can be built from improvised materials.

Fundamental rules

Any multi-tiered composition requires an attentive approach regarding the selection of colors. We offer the simplest rules, due to observance of which your flowerbed will look at the site harmoniously:

• An important role is played by the background: it must be a passive green shade. Florists recommend decorating multi-tiered flower beds with a hedge or a ground lawn.
• Flowers in the composition should be of contrasting shades or, conversely, of the same color scale, but it should be avoided.
• The shape and size of the inflorescences is important. For example, within the same tier the flowers should be the same size. An interesting option is landing on each subsequent tier of smaller plants. The main thing is that all varieties grow about the same amount of time.
• The picked flowers should be resistant to moisture, that is, moisture-loving, as in the rain all the water will flow down to the lower tiers. So the lowest layer is to be formed from plants that need copious watering.

How to make multi-storey flower beds so that they look harmonious on the site? It is worth remembering that no matter what option is chosen, the main thing is to mark out the territory and think over the sketch of the future structure taking into account the materials and colors that must be planted.

Of stones

A flowerbed of stones can become a picturesque element of the landscape design of the territory . It is made of sandstone, limestone, shale, pebbles or volcanic tuff. In the form of various geometric patterns, you can lay out a brick composition.

Flower bricks with their own hands are built in random order or laid out with an original geometric pattern. The brick can be any: white silicate or red ceramic. Look good on the site of elevated multi-tiered flower beds, when the wall of bricks rises at a height of 30 cm to one meter. To make such a flower arrangement is easy. For example, in the form of an unusual staircase, which is attached to the house. First, compartments are made, the bottom of which is filled with gravel, sand or construction debris - these materials serve as drainage. Then black earth is poured on top, where mineral organic fertilizers are added. After careful ramming the flower bed is planted with flowers.

Of wood

Traditional for the design of the suburban area can be considered wooden multi-tiered flower beds. The photo shows how a variety of solutions makes it possible to translate this material into reality. So, on the basis of wooden spili of the same length and diameter, you can lay a rectangular or square flower bed.

Make it yourself simply:

• First, the place where the structure will be located is marked.
• Wooden spills are inserted into the moat, which breaks out along the planned line.
• The site is covered with soil.
• The next tier is formed: it will be smaller in size than the lower one, but it is done by the same analogy. The other tiers are formed in the same way.
• Now it remains to build a drainage and fertile layer for plants.

It is possible to make and from old boxes multilevel flower beds by own hands. The photo shows that these compositions look authentic in the summer residence. Using boxes, you can make a flower bed of very different shapes - square, triangular, polyhedral. In most cases, five boxes, which can have different sizes, are enough. The main thing is to treat them for protection from rot, moisture and insects. You can make the composition brighter if you paint each box in your color.

Of tires

Rubber tires are popular with many flower growers, because they can be used to build a variety of flower gardens, including multi-tiered flower beds with their own hands. The photo of the process shows that there is nothing difficult in this, and the material itself is among the most accessible. A flower bed made of tires is created simply: for the first layer we use three tires, for the second one we use two tires, for the second one we use two tires, for the top one - one, and even better - a vase cut out with figured cutting.

Each tire is filled first with drainage, then with a fertile layer. As a bottom, you can use boards or plywood, but be sure to build some moisture-resistant material. A flower bed can be painted in any color.

Lesenka

Many-tiered flowerbeds in the country house can be erected with their own hands of any design. For example, a beautiful and elegant looking ladder. Make it simple:

• A simple staircase of several tiers is knocked together from the planks of a suitable size;
• It should be attached approximately at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall;
• On each tier flower pots or special boxes are put;
• To protect the structure from external influences, it can be coated with varnish or paint.

Many-tiered flower beds are easy to make on the basis of flower pots of different sizes. So, the largest pot in diameter will serve as the basis of the composition. On top of him in turn put all smaller and smaller in size. A beautiful multi-tiered composition is created on the basis of plastic containers, which are stacked in the form of a pyramid.

What plants?

Many-tiered flower beds are modern, fresh and original. But making them is not so easy in the sense that you need to be able to pick flowers. The basic rules for selecting plants for such designs are as follows:

• Flowers of dark shades are located below light.
• Plants should bloom at one time.
• In the lower tier there should be flowers that are resistant to moisture, since it will flow down from here.

Many-tiered flower beds in the country house, photos of which convey all the riot of colors, can be created on the basis of a number of colors: petunia, garden geranium, or pelargonium, calendula, pansies, begonias of various types, undersized marigolds.

To design the lower tier of the flower bed, you need to use unpretentious flowers that will not be demanding either for care or for the influence of the external environment. Among them you can note garden chamomile, primula, daylily, dicentre, astilba.

Draw conclusions

A multi-level flowerbed is beautiful and unusual, but it's worth remembering that it's not easy to make it. It is necessary not only to think out its design, location, but also to choose suitable plant varieties, so that they blossom at one time and stay on the flower bed for about the same period. On the other hand, a beautiful flower garden can be created even from improvised means, the main thing is to remember that each plant has its own height.
