An alternative, though excellent, to any fence can be a hedge. But if her task is not to protect against unnecessary views and penetrations, then hedge in a summer cottage may well consist of flowers.

If you just want to visually separate any territory, you can plant a border of flowers along its border. Each one selects these flowers in accordance with his personal taste, but there are some general recommendations. And in order to enjoy your hedge as long as possible, it is better to stick to them.

If you want to have a dividing hedge, a tall plant combined with shrubs and the same flowers is chosen as the central accent for it. It is only necessary to ensure that all these plants are harmoniously combined with each other. Since the dividing hedge also has a decorative function, it can be made of roses. Overgrown, this "Queen of Flowers" turns into a dense, insurmountable wall of prickly branches, strewn with fragrant flowers. But planting roses as a hedge from the road is impractical. There, it is too often damaged by passers-by.

To create a separation and decorative fence, you can use flowering shrubs, such as Kuril tea (aka potentilla, aka five-leafed), False jasmine (mock orange). Both of them bloom very beautifully, you can choose the varieties of the desired height, color of leaves and shade of flowers. Hydrangea Bretschneider is also interesting - both its flowers and its leaves can change colors under different conditions.

A hedge along the road usually looks spectacular, but not all plants, especially flowers, will look good, showered with roadside dust. Marigolds tolerate such conditions well. Depending on the variety, they can have 20 - 50 centimeters in height and bloom from June and almost to frost, varying the color from yellow to brown-red. These flowers are not very demanding on conditions; they can grow both in the sun and in a small shadow. Propagated by seedlings, seeds can be sown in open ground.

Flowers for hedges, can be used as you like, you just need to carefully select their combinations and take into account how suitable this or that species is in each case.
