Anemones planting and care outdoors in autumn in siberia

Delicate anemones with intricately dissected leaves and quivering corollas are equally good in the forest and among the most luxurious garden plants. Anemones, planting and caring for which in the open field are not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, take root well in summer cottages.

The main thing is to carefully approach the choice of a suitable plant and take into account its features. In the plant world, there are more than 170 species of anemones, differing in:

• natural habitat;
• size, color and shape of flowers;
• structure;
• requirements for temperature, soil and other growing conditions.

More than two dozen varieties are grown as garden plants, including the most bizarre forms and varieties of hybrid anemones. All of them are perennials with varying degrees of frost resistance.

In cold weather, plant life glimmers in tubers and thick rhizomes. They are used for planting anemones in open ground in spring or autumn.

Conditions for planting anemones in the open field

According to the observations of experienced gardeners, rhizome anemones are less demanding and more winter-hardy than their large-flowered tuberous congeners. But no matter what kind the flower you like belongs to, the best place for it will be a transparent penumbra, protecting delicate petals from the scorching sun, but not blocking full access to heat and light. Once in an open area, the plants bloom well, but their petals quickly discolor and fall off. In the shade, the corollas open less often and later.

All anemones develop well in moderately moist, loose soil, but they tolerate stagnant water very painfully. Planting in a neutral or slightly acidic substrate that allows air and moisture to pass through will simplify the care of anemones in the open field.

If the soil is dense, prone to caking, it is worth adding sand to it. The choice of an elevated site for planting will help reduce the risk of decay in the autumn-spring period.

When to plant anemones in the ground

Rhizome anemones, many species of which are found in the middle lane, easily take root in the garden if they are carefully dug up and removed from the forest. Tuberous varieties tolerate winters worse, and some of them do not withstand severe subzero temperatures. Such plants are removed from the soil in the fall, and the tubers are kept cool until the heat returns.

Planting anemones in open ground in the fall is possible only for hardy plants and in regions where flowers are guaranteed to take root and overwinter.

In the spring, when the natural growing cycle begins and there is a warm period ahead, the plants acclimatize better and faster. Rhizome anemones reproduce by root segments with multiple growth points. If there are adult plants on the site, it is more convenient to plant them before flowering, until the aboveground part has withered and the anemones are not lost among other vegetation.

When are anemones planted in the ground? The specific dates depend on the habits of the plant itself and on the climate of the region. In the southern regions, anemones are planted in open ground from April to September. The farther north, the greater the risk of spring or autumn freezing of greenery and the underground part.

When are the dates for planting anemones:

• the site for them is carefully dug up in advance;
• all weeds are removed from the soil, especially those that propagate by roots;
• the soil is mixed with selected humus, and spruce is necessary, then dolomite flour, which oxidizes the soil.

Wells for plants are made at intervals of 15–20 cm. To provide flowers with good conditions for development and to simplify care in the open field, planting anemones is carried out so that the growth buds are at a depth of no more than 3–5 cm from the soil surface.

Tuberous anemones are planted on a sand pillow, which helps wick away excess moisture and even in a rainy year counteracts rotting of roots and tubers.

Fungal and bacterial rot are the main enemies of such plants, therefore, before planting, the tubers are treated with a fungicide and a root formation stimulator. In addition, if there is a spring planting, dried tubers are soaked for 2 hours in water at room temperature, helping perennials to wake up faster. In the fall, dry planting material is planted in the ground. The soil above the plantings is compacted and watered.

Until the plants hatch and grow stronger, they need protection. It can be peat mulch, which protects the land from drying out throughout the season and suppresses the growth of weeds.

Outdoor care for anemones after planting

From the moment of planting, whenever it passes, anemones in the open field, as in the photo, are provided with regular care, including:

• manual, very careful weeding of the site;
• loosening the surface layer of the soil;
• protection of plants from cold winds and low temperatures.

Plants planted in spring are immediately watered in moderation. And with the growth of greenery, the anemones are fed. For rhizome plants, mulching with a mixture of peat and humus is enough, and tuberous and large-flowered hybrid varieties should receive a more complete set, including minerals and trace elements.

To prolong flowering helps to remove faded corollas. In this case, nutrients are spent on the formation and growth of new buds.

Properly cared for rhizomatous plants grow well and even sow on their own, so they need to be thinned out and limited space available for life. They are fully suitable for planting anemones in the ground in Siberia, the Urals, in the Non-Black Earth Region, that is, where the most luxurious flowers can only be grown in a container culture.

Tuberous anemones are not so aggressive, some of them do not hibernate at all in the ground, and more frost-resistant species need careful cover with foliage, spruce branches, and non-woven material. The most delicate tubers are dried at room temperature after digging and then stored in a ventilated dry room, for example, in a basement, at a temperature of 3-5 ° C above zero. If winters allow the tubers to be kept in the soil, every 3-5 years the planting is rejuvenated.

Anemones

- graceful herbaceous plants, captivating with a variety of colors and shapes of buds. These perennials look spectacular when surrounded by other flora and stones. They are able to decorate any garden plot with their presence.

Anemones Among the generous assortment of varieties there are both unpretentious specimens and plants that require special care. This feature is explained by the presence of two categories of anemones - rhizome and tuberous... The first more or less calmly react to the "flaws" of cultivation, expressing dissatisfaction with only a certain loss of beauty. But for representatives of the second category, mistakes in leaving are very dangerous.

Planting anemone

Choosing a landing site

The requirements of different types of anemones to the level of lighting, moisture and soil composition differ significantly. But there are universal conditions in which all varieties will feel normal:

• penumbra;
• good drainage;
• fertile loose soil.

All varieties of anemones will feel good in partial shade. These rules are especially relevant if the type of acquired anemones is unknown or in doubt. To create the ideal soil structure, you need to add regular sand to it. The presence of bulk material will not only loosen the soil and provide good air circulation - the sand will increase the level of water permeability. The same function will be performed by drainage - a layer of fragments of bricks or small stones.

Soil composition

is also important. Too acidified soils are not the best place for planting anemones. Therefore, before placing plants in the selected area, it is worth adding a portion of wood ash or dolomite flour to the top layer of the earth.

Sowing seeds

Anemones can be propagated by seed. But it is worth noting that their germination rate is quite low. At best, only a quarter of all seeds will germinate. And then - only freshly harvested seed can boast of such indicators. But it is still possible to grow anemones from seeds.

Anemone seeds

To increase the germination rate, you need to take care of

stratification

... This procedure consists of keeping the seeds in cold conditions. With podzimny sowing, the need for stratification disappears. It is relevant for seeds that are planned to germinate in the spring.

The embedment depth is insignificant. Rare seedlings that are lucky enough to hatch are rather fragile - they are not able to overcome a thick layer of earth. Therefore, it is worth using a loose, light soil with a porous structure.

When sowing in autumn, the seeds hatch in early spring. If the planting was carried out in spring or summer, then the first shoots usually appear within a month. Young seedlings must be carefully protected from waterlogging to prevent their death.

Vegetative propagation of anemone

Seed propagation is an extreme measure. Usually it is used quite rarely. After all, it is much easier to get a full-fledged planting material in other ways. It is very easy to propagate varieties with a branched openwork root system. It is more difficult, but quite realistic, to grow an anemone from tubers.

Anemone tubers

The division of rhizomes is best timed to coincide with the spring. During this period, the movement of the juice is slowed down, so the plant will calmly respond to the procedure. When cutting the rhizome, it is necessary to ensure that several renewal buds are present on each separated piece. They are responsible for building up green mass.

Varieties in which the usual root system is replaced by tubers need

seedbed preparation .

The planting material must be immersed in warm water for several hours and left so until the tubers increase in size - they swell. This technique helps to accelerate germination. The tubers are planted to a depth of 3 to 7 cm. The soil should be moistened carefully, but regularly.

Experts recommend that you immediately determine the location of the permanent location of the plants. This requirement is especially important for anemones with a tuberous root system. Young anemones most often easily take root after transplantation.

Immediately decide on the site of planting the anemone For adult plants, this procedure can end in failure. Alternatively, a transplant with a voluminous lump of earth. This approach will help alleviate stress.

Care for anemones

The main difficulty in caring for anemones is maintaining optimal humidity levels... An excess is detrimental to the root system. But the lack of life-giving moisture will have a detrimental effect on the condition of the plants. In the first case, planting plants on a hill and arranging drainage will help. In the second, the use of mulch.

Mulch will help maintain optimal moisture levels.

Mulch is a free-flowing material, which is traditionally used as fallen

leafyatorf

or special decorative mixtures. It not only prevents moisture evaporation and soil compaction, but also prevents growth

weeds

... For anemone, foliage is best.

fruit trees

... The layer thickness is about 5 cm.

It is recommended to use complex mineral preparations as fertilizers. Moreover, they should be applied only during flowering... And if the garden bed was fertilized before planting, then you can generally exclude this procedure from the anemones care schedule. If these measures are not neglected, ideal conditions for all varieties of anemone will be guaranteed.

In the conditions of the middle lane, almost all varieties

can be left to winter in the open field ... Previously, you should increase the thickness of the mulch by 2-3 times and equip a shelter from spruce branches or branches of deciduous trees. In a harsh climate, you will have to dig up rhizomes. Tuberous varieties are especially sensitive to frost. The underground part is dug up, dried and kept cool until disembarking.

Types of anemone

The genus anemone has more than one and a half hundred species. The following types are most popular with florists:

• forest anemone;
• but. crown;
• but. Japanese;
• but. tender.

Forest anemone (Anemone sylvestris) - dense bush up to half a meter high. The buds are located singly, they can be both regular and double. The diameter of the flower reaches 5-6 cm, for some varieties this figure increases to 8 cm. The leaves are large, with long petioles.

Forest anemoneCrown anemone (A. coronaria) - a compact plant 20-30 cm high. Buds up to 6 cm in diameter, can be of different shades. In the center of the inflorescence are stamens and a black pistil. The leaves are collected in an outlet.

Crown anemone

Japanese anemone (

Anemone hupehensis var. japonica)

- a bush about 40 cm high. The leaves are dark, the colors of the buds are pale or richly bright. The palette of shades is quite wide. The buds are collected in groups in loose inflorescences.

Japanese anemone

Anemone tender (A. blanda) is a stunted perennial. The maximum height of the stems with openwork leaves does not exceed 20 cm. The color and size of the chamomile inflorescences depends on the variety.

Do anemones live in your garden?

Anemone is a plant found in both hemispheres of our planet. It grows mainly on flat areas in regions with a temperate climate. The anemone is represented by a fairly large species diversity, and many varieties grow so differently that sometimes flower growers are simply lost. Further, about the intricacies of planting a plant in open ground, caring for it, diseases, as well as when it is necessary to plant an anemone (photos and instructions are attached).

Anemone: features, types of plants

Anemone is a plant of the buttercup family, which is actively cultivated by domestic gardeners and is known to most by the beautiful name "daughter of the winds". In appearance, anemone is very similar to ordinary poppy.

The plant is represented by a large species diversity, among which there are both undersized and tall varieties. The latter, unfortunately, do not take root very well in our climate, therefore, domestic gardeners grow mainly undersized species.

Interestingly, among the anemones, you can find those species that require extremely difficult and troublesome care for an amateur grower (this is often due to the peculiarities of the root system of the plant), so we will consider only those species that are unpretentious in care and growing conditions.

Among these, the following varieties can be noted:

• Anemone is tender. A tiny plant only 5-10 cm tall.

Anemone tender

• Anemone is oak. Not very common in our latitudes. The plant is medium in size - it will grow up to 0.3 m in height. The flowers grow medium in diameter (about 3-4 cm) and are characterized by a pale white color. True, sometimes there are varieties with pale blue or lilac flowering. The varieties related to this variety are very unpretentious.

Dubravnaya anemone

• Buttercup anemone. An unpretentious plant, characterized by an average height - it reaches a height of only 25 cm, blooms very luxuriantly with beautiful small pale yellow flowers. At the same time, the plant is very unpretentious to care and is able to survive in almost any soil.

Buttercup anemone

• Japanese anemone. Unlike previous varieties, the Japanese anemone (like the variety presented below) is large perennials with a well-developed root system. The plant is distinguished by large and even peduncles, reaching a length of about 0.8 m.

Japanese anemone

• Anemone hybrid. The variety is represented mainly by semi-double rather large varieties with lush bright flowering.

Planting anemones in open ground

Before planting a plant, as usual, a number of preparatory activities are carried out, including the selection and preparation of a site for planting the anemone, as well as the preparation of planting material.

The area for planting anemones must be shady, perfectly protected from the wind and at the same time very spacious.

Advice. When choosing a place for planting anemones, be sure to take into account the specifics of the growth of this plant: it needs a lot of free space, which is due to a powerful large root system.

The soil on which the anemone will grow must be light, loose, well-drained and nutritious. The ideal option for anemones is loose loam or deciduous soil with the presence of peat.

If the soil in your area is heavy and, in general, not particularly suitable for growing anemones, try to improve its structure by adding a little fine sand to the soil (this will make it lighter and looser) or dolomite flour (if the soil acidity is high).

An unpleasant feature of the anemones is the finickyness of its seed material: the seeds of anemones sprout very poorly and require careful preparation before planting. We are talking about all the well-known stratification. There are several ways to harden anemone seeds. The simplest of them is as follows: the seeds should be placed in boxes with a light soil mixture and immersed deeper into the soil on the site, not forgetting to cover them, for example, with spruce branches. During the winter period, the seeds will naturally freeze, and in the spring you can safely plant them on the site.

Seedlings of anemones

If you plan to grow an anemone by planting its tubers, they should also be prepared: soak them in warm water for several hours, then transplant them into containers with prepared substrate (peat and sand) to a depth of about 5 cm.

Seedlings are planted in a permanent place only by the second year of the plant's life, it is advisable to carry out this process in the spring (while each plant should have at least 2 leaves). Although it will be quite successful to grow anemones during autumn planting, only in this case the area with the planted plant should be carefully covered with branches or foliage.

Attention! If the plant is grown by seed, be prepared for the first bright flowers to appear on the plant no earlier than 3 years after planting.

The subtleties of plant care

Caring for the plant is not at all burdensome: you just need to constantly maintain the desired level of moisture in the soil and feed the plant only with the right feeding.

Throughout the growing season, the anemone should be watered generously and regularly. In a particularly hot summer period, watering should be very abundant. But you should be very careful, because excess moisture in the soil can lead to rotting of the root system. To avoid this problem, choose an area located on a hill for planting anemones.

In the spring or moderately warm summer, it is enough to water the growing anemone only once a week.

During the flowering period, it is advisable to feed the anemone with liquid organic matter (everything is suitable except for manure), in the fall - to provide the plant with nutritious mineral complexes. If nutrients were introduced into the soil before planting the anemones, the plant will not need additional fertilizing at all.

Anemone loves generous watering

With proper care, anemone is practically not susceptible to any disease. Sometimes, however, a site with an anemone can be visited by slugs or snails. It is enough just to collect them by hand and treat the plant with a solution of metaldehyde. Sometimes the anemone suffers from leaf nematodes. In this case, the only effective solution would be to remove the damaged plant from the site and destroy it.

If the cultivation of anemones takes place in a temperate climate, it is advisable to remove the tubers from the soil with the onset of cold autumn and prepare them for wintering: dry slightly, remove the ground part of the bushes, and store the tubers in a humid cool environment, placing them in peat / sand.

That's all the subtleties to remember when growing anemones in the garden. Good luck!
