The unpretentious low-growing perennials
Low-growing plants is always appropriate in the landscape, because they can draw the edge of the lawn, front flower beds, to create living borders. If you perform great low-growing perennials to Siberia, then this list will include only some.
Contender #1 — primroses and snowdrops
Please flowering before all. I can’t stand the heat, but get along well in high humidity and cool. If in southern areas, these plants try to plant in the shade to over the summer is not fading roots, Siberians can be decorated with primroses absolutely any piece of land.

Flowering plants
Perennials with bright colors differ in that they can’t be decorative all summer. As a rule, after flowering, the aerial part of the plant becomes inconspicuous and gradually dies to lay the flower buds for the new season. This is especially true of tuberous and bulbous, which thus protect themselves from excessive use of power.
