The main requirements that shrubs must meet:
- the ability to winter with minimal losses;
- drought resistance;
- wind resistance.
The climate of Bashkiria is distinguished by its stability. The main part of Bashkortostan is located in the southern part of the Urals, where the continental climate prevails. Winter is frosty, without sudden jumps and changes in temperature. V winter time thermometer readings are rarely below minus 20-22 ° С. The snow cover is sufficient to prevent freezing of the roots of perennial frost-resistant plants.
The temperature below zero is set at the end of October, and its rise begins in the first ten days of April. Return frosts are possible until mid-May, in rare cases, they occur until the end of the month. When choosing shrubs, it is best to plant late. flowering varieties so that the frost does not spoil the beauty of the plants during flowering.
In summer, there is little rainfall, so it is preferable to opt for plants that are not demanding on the irrigation regime. Heat in summer period almost never happens. Average temperature 20-23 ° C.
Due to the proximity to the steppes of Kazakhstan and the Orenburg region, in summer there are strong winds... It is better not to plant shrubs with brittle shoots.
The main criterion for the selection of plants is that it is important to be based not only on decorative qualities, but also on adaptability to the climatic conditions of the region. Frost resistance and drought resistance will allow shrubs to bloom beautifully and decorate the garden with minimal maintenance. Other plants may need shelter for the winter and constant watering.

For annual abundant flowering, cut out the faded tops of the shoots. This should be done immediately after flowering, until seeds have formed on the brushes. With late pruning, there will be no flowering next year.

Output
A variety of species and varieties of unpretentious shrubs allows you to design garden plot so that he is beautiful throughout the season. Properly selected plants make the garden bloom from May to September, and the ornamental shrub leaves add brightness and contrast.
Who does not dream of a beautiful, well-groomed garden, where you can take a break from the daily hustle and bustle, chat with family or friends, relax and lie in a hammock, or just wander along the shady alleys on a hot, sunny day. But this business is troublesome and requires not only certain efforts, but also knowledge, experience and great desire. Today we will talk about ornamental shrubs and flowering shrubs for summer cottages - invariable companions of any garden. And also about what they are, how best to arrange them and about the basic rules of care.
Shrubs are divided into decorative and fruiting. As a rule, when good care they have a long life expectancy (20-40 years). That is, plants will decorate the garden for many years. The options for how to use the bushes for a summer residence are varied: this is the background for compositions from plants, these are green hedges, planting in groups and a single arrangement. Shrubs make the garden cozy and familiar. They smooth out imperfections, cover unsightly places, create color accents and, importantly, do not need constant care.
Selection and placement
The choice and composition of garden shrubs is not easy. It all depends on your desire. What kind of garden do you want to create: in Japanese, English, French style or a style close to natural? What to focus on - decorativeness and color contrasts, or you need fruit bushes for garden? We will dwell on some points. 
Our visual perception is arranged in such a way that first we perceive the color, and then the form. Natural garden does not have sharp color contrasts that would be conspicuous. The main color is green. The variegated color scheme looks very gentle against the backdrop of greenery. Therefore, we use variegated varieties, of which there are now a great many. Plants with yellow foliage during the day they "light up" the garden, and in the evening they create the illusion of sunlight. Red foliage is also good at sunny weather, but in the evening it fades. Color makes it possible to expand or contract the space. Yellow visually makes the space wider, while red, on the contrary, narrows it down. So, when creating compositions, you can expand or lengthen them. If there are a lot of color accents, it can be annoying, and not cause peace and tranquility. After all, any garden is, first of all, a place to relax. The texture of the crown, the shape and size of the leaves are also important. How to place decorative shrubs in landscape design can be seen in the photo. 
When creating compositions from ornamental shrubs and flowering shrubs, follow the basic rules:
- Don't buy a plant just because you like it. Find out how it will take root in this climatic zone, about its frost resistance.
- Clarify how the plant relates to "clipping" to give it the desired shape.
- In any garden, the dominant color is green, others create spots of color against the background of greenery.
- Consider lighting when planting variegated forms.
- Do not create sharp contrasts, play in semitones.
- Model your garden space by creating different combinations.
The place for the shrub should be sunny. Shade-tolerant plants will be planted under the crowns of larger shrubs or trees. The soil is as fertile as possible, but a significant amount of organic matter can be introduced into the planting pit. So, what shrubs to plant in the country?
Blooming forms
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the information about what kind of flowering shrubs for summer cottages in the Moscow region are.

With a combination of both, flowering in your garden will be constant. Characterized by rapid growth and frost resistance. These beautiful shrubs good at compositions.

Viburnum has only one drawback: it easily becomes infected with pests. 
Rose hip

It does not get sick during transplantation and pruning, it grows quickly. The rosehip hedge becomes impassable over time. Grows in sun and shade. Good in combination with trees and shrubs. It does not require special care. 
Forsythia
It is a shrub with yellow flowers. It blooms in early spring and looks fantastic at this time. Then the flowers fall and young foliage grows. Looks great in single planting or surrounded by early flowering bulbs. This sun lover freezes in cold winters and is therefore not suitable for northern regions... V middle lane it is thoroughly mulched, and the shoots are tilted to the ground. 
Lilac
Previously, one type of lilac was grown - common lilac. Now varieties have been bred - from lilac to purple. It is still one of the garden's favorite flowering shrubs. It is advisable to plant in a sunny area separately from other plants, leaving more free space around. The plant is not demanding on environmental conditions. 
Hydrangea
Works well in a shady, damp area. Grows on acidic soils, but does not tolerate the windy side. Characteristically long flowering... Elegant inflorescences look great when cut, you can create winter bouquets. Two types are frost-resistant: paniculate and large-leaved. They hibernate under the snow, wrapped in spruce branches. Go well with hosts, ferns.

The fruits are used for processing (jams and jellies) and in medicinal purposes... The sun is very important for flowering and fruit setting. It is used both in hedges and in single plantings.

Carved foliage is very unusual, and in the fall it also acquires rich colors. It can grow in the shade, tolerates drought well. The disadvantage is the rapid growth of root growth, which easily captures adjacent areas. The plant successfully hides sheds, fences, unattractive buildings due to its rapid and abundant growth. 
Beautifully flowering shrubs for the Moscow region, photos and names can also be found on the Internet.
Decorative leafy forms
Flowering plants invariably inspire admiration, but plants with variegated, red or yellow leaves are no less attractive. If autumn yellow leaves are common, then red ones evoke enthusiastic emotions. When the flowers fade, various shrubs with unusual, bright foliage fill the void.
Ornamental shrubs for summer cottages include:
Barberry
Has purple and burgundy leaves with edging. Shrubs of different species have different leaf colors, which can be combined in compositions. The hedge from this plant looks neat. And it is well adjacent to conifers (juniper, thuja, pine). There is a dwarf barberry, which is used for small compositions, for example, in a rocky garden. 
Scumpia
It grows in regions with a warm climate, but has already taken root in central Russia, and is an excellent ornamental plant for summer cottages. In the spring it forms inflorescences - pink fluffy panicles, and in the fall the leaves turn purple, orange or burgundy (it all depends on the variety). First, the veins turn red, and then the entire sheet is colored. Loves sunny, windless places. It grows well, so it needs space. Resistant to pests and diseases, but may require shelter in winter. 
Derain white
Looks smart all year round. Variegated plant, which has a white border around the edge of the sheet. The bush looks elegant and light. It has semicircular shape that needs to be maintained by removing old shoots. Unpretentious, frost-hardy, shade-tolerant. But he loves fertile, well-moistened soils. It is decorative in winter: red shoots are clearly visible against the background of snow. 
Bubble plant
It is beautiful in spring, when its large foliage is painted in rich purple tones, and the inflorescences collected in shields are white-pink. Later, the foliage becomes darker and slightly gloomy. Now there are new varieties in which the color of the leaves does not change. The plant is frost-resistant, unpretentious to the composition and moisture of the soil. It is good in longline plantings, as an ornamental shrub for the garden. 
Elderberry black
Will take a worthy place on your personal plot. You can plant a bush with golden foliage, or you can choose a more elegant one - red with carved leaves. It is better to plant it in a little shade, under the crowns of other trees, since the leaves can fade in the bright sun. And the rest is very unpretentious. It grows on any soil and does not require special care. It is also not necessary to cover for the winter: the plant is frost-resistant. In August, bunches of ripe berries (black or red) ripen, which makes the bush even more decorative.

Honeysuckle
It translates as "youth" and "life". Slowly growing, but life expectancy is 100 years. Does not freeze even in very coldy and looks beautiful in any corner of the garden. Disadvantage: berries in some varieties fall off when ripe, so you need to harvest on time. 
Irga
A beautiful shrub up to 3 m high, which is good both during flowering and during berry picking. High-yielding, berries are harvested from early July to mid-August. Berries are useful and medicinal. 
Caring for many shrubs, although not particularly laborious, requires a number of mandatory actions.
Watering should provide the root system with water. And evenly. To do this, the near-stem holes are torn apart and filled with water, which is done repeatedly. After absorption, the hole is buried in earth. The irrigated area corresponds to the crown projection area. Young shrubs require more frequent watering. Loosening and mulching: important procedures. Loosening is shallow, it is better to carry out it after rain or watering. Mulching is carried out in the spring. Peat, biohumus, compost are used as mulch.
The consumption of nutrients depends on the age of the flowering or ornamental shrub. First feeding nitrogen fertilizers should be done in the spring, the second - in the fall, during the period of leaf fall with potash and complex fertilizers. As top dressing, microelements are used, which are sprayed on plants in the morning or in the evening in calm weather. 
One of the major activities is pruning. This is the removal of dry and diseased branches, thinning of the crown and its formation. Shelter for the winter is also important. Shrubs special materials(for example, roofing material). Creeping forms are covered with spruce branches. Flexible shrubs tilt to the ground. Open them after freezing.
