What are victims perennials?


commentary Torsten Matschiess, garden shows Alst

Recording Aralia californica surrounded rival in the first spring of Geum.

Since circulating the concept of perennial victims already, I would like to extend a little definition to. As the garden fresh
Alst yet received a sea of Christmas trees and life was, it was at social evenings going so slow with the planning. By placing my original idea, first small patches as islands in the meadow in order to plant the first large perennials, we could divert our friend Hermann (www.garten-groene.de) quickly. On the one had in any case, the entire plan, we, had these islands can create and the other offered Hermann , it's harvested in his own garden, not to plunder say. In the further planning was soon clear that the major perennials not in the background, but should be positioned close to the many paths, but without ruining the long term. In late summer, they should create their staggered arrangement of structures, increase the room look and lines of sight along the way but not make it through the beds himself. What
in a staggered in height discounts usually takes less attention, was an interesting question in our planning: how we replant the large shrubs, so that they can develop appropriate and their environment is attractive in the spring. Anyone who the development of Aralia (continentalis or californica) or Aconogonon speciosum locust cloud has followed for years, to know what immense space they take up about that time. So we were looking for perennials that bloom early in the year and deal with during the year increased shading (by the large bushes) came. Furthermore, they did not have to be very durable as they are replaced over time anyway. In this context, I found the term victim perennials appropriate. (At this point, one-year would not have come into question Can you see how dogmatic we were in these things ....)
were as perennial victims then quickly select the following candidates: Papaver orientale, Geum rivale, Pulmonaria officinalis, geophytes, Bistorta affinis and other ground cover for more semi-shady environment.
soon followed by a couple of examples from practice. Here and gardening groene.blogspot.com.
the way: having the name of victims perennials, that is, "the victim (Homa) plant utilizing" is a cult name of the priest Spitama from Avesta "Spitama Zarathustra."
