Application of copper crops in decorative plant crops

Nowadays ornamental plants in the soft landscaping of the inhabited areas play an important role to improve their microclimatic, sanitary and aesthetic qualities. They are used in the flower beds near almost every house, school, organization, but their range is very poor: tulips and daffodils bloom in spring, petunias and marigolds grow in summer. The article discusses the prospects for the use of 12 bee plants for their application in decorative plant growing in the design of flower beds of the city and countryside. The composition of the flower garden includes such strong bee plants as phacelia ( Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. ), blueweed ( Echium vulgare L .), catmint ( Nepeta faassenii L. ), violet sage ( Salvia nemorosa L. ), lungwort ( Pulmonaria hibride L. ), spring adonis ( Adonis vernalis L. ), alpine rock-cress ( Arabis alpine L. ), dropwort ( Filipendula vulgaris Moench. ), sanguinary ( Achillea millefolium L. ), field scabious ( Knautia arvensis L. ), purple echinacea ( Echinacea purpurea L. ), goldenrod ( Solidago x hybridа hort. ). Honey plants are sown from April to May. They bloom from April to late September what creates a flower-nectar conveyor. The use of honeybees in landscape design will benefit insects-entomophages and honey bees. Increasing the species representation of herbaceous plants will improve the decorative quality of the territory and the biological diversity of ecosystems.
