HOW TO CHOOSE PLANTS FOR LANDSCAPING IN THE CLIMATE OF KAZAKHSTAN

Before starting landscaping, it is essential to understand the climate zone of your area: the northern and central regions of the country are characterized by harsh winters and significant temperature fluctuations, while the southern regions experience milder winters but more arid summers. Wind, sunlight, soil type, and groundwater level also play an important role. For example, in the steppe regions, plants with deep root systems and high drought tolerance thrive, while in foothill areas, species capable of withstanding significant temperature variations and abundant rainfall do well. It is also important to consider the features of the plot: lighting, shaded areas, slopes, and the presence of buildings that create microclimates. The more accurately this information is gathered, the easier it will be to select plants that will feel comfortable growing and developing.

In Kazakhstan’s conditions, both decorative and functional plants have proven to be well-suited. To create vertical structure, deciduous trees such as birch, maple, mountain ash, and cherry are commonly used. Among conifers, pine, spruce, and juniper are the most popular — they are not only climate-resistant but also maintain their decorative appeal throughout the year. Shrubs like hawthorn, spirea, honeysuckle, and barberry serve multiple purposes: they create dense hedges, protect from wind, dust, and noise. Perennial flowers such as irises, peonies, lilies, and phlox add vibrant color and require minimal maintenance. Gardeners are increasingly using grasses and ornamental herbs like fescue, feather grass, and bluegrass — they are drought-resistant and blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. The selection should be not only aesthetic but also practical: plants must match the site’s conditions to avoid the need for annual replanting.

Choosing plants on your own can be an interesting process, but it is often accompanied by mistakes: overlooked soil characteristics, incorrectly chosen planting zones, and incompatible plant species. As a result, time, effort, and energy are wasted, and disappointment arises when greenery fails to thrive or loses its aesthetic appeal.
