Budley planting and care in the open field in the suburbs

Budleya belongs to the shrubs of the Norichnikov family. Its homeland is the warm countries of Africa, Asia and South America. In a warm climate, the plant hibernates without problems and again pleases with its decorativeness and delicate beauty of flowers. As for growing in the Moscow region, there are a number of conditions that are necessary in order to survive the winter months.

Description of the budley, types

In nature, there are about 100 species of this flowering plant. A peculiarity of budlias is late flowering and different phases of development on the same bush at the same time. You can observe the presence of flowers, buds and fruits on one branch at once. Due to the external resemblance to lilac bushes and autumn flowering, many call buddley the autumn lilac. The most popular varieties include:

• Buddley David... The plant is most adapted to cold wintering. The maximum height of an adult bush is 2-3 meters, it belongs to deciduous species. Shoots of David's budley are fast growing. The leaves are oval in shape and have pointed tips, up to 25 cm in length. The underside is densely pubescent. Lilac flowers are collected in elongated spike-shaped inflorescences. Flowering time: late August - early October. Varieties with white, dark purple and red flowers have also been bred.
• Buddlea white-flowered... A shrub with inflorescences in the form of a wide cone. The flowers are white or with a slight lilac tint. She needs shelter for the winter.
• Buddlea alternate-leaved... Often grown as a tree with a drooping crown. Delicate pink or purple flowers are collected in medium-sized inflorescences. Their smell is reminiscent of the smell of almonds.
• Buddlea snowy... A deciduous shrub with highly pubescent shoots and leaves. The flowers are lilac, collected in paniculate brushes.
• Buddlea japanese... It is characterized by fast growth of shoots and needs regular pruning. Inflorescences racemose, 20 cm long. The flowers are lilac.
• Buddleya spherical... It is considered a semi-evergreen species. Flowering occurs in May. The inflorescences look like bright orange balls. It grows exclusively in warm climates.

Budleya David: growing from seed

For the most common Buddle of David in our area, growing from seeds will be a snap. It is best to purchase planting material in specialized stores.

Seeds are planted in early spring. Before this, the landing containers are prepared. They should be wide and have holes for water drainage. A layer of expanded clay is laid at the bottom, then a soil with a neutral pH.Budley seeds are small, it is better to mix them with sand before planting - this will facilitate the process. Having evenly distributed the mixture of seeds and sand on the surface of the loose soil, it is lightly pressed against the soil and moistened from the sprayer.

Then they organize a kind of semblance greenhousescovering the plantings with glass or plastic wrap. Periodically, the shelter is raised to ventilate and moisten the seedlings. The room temperature should be 22-25 ° C, the light is bright, but diffused. Direct sunlight should not fall on landings. Seedlings appear in 2-3 weeks. To keep the seedlings of David's budlei healthy, from time to time they are watered with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate.

As soon as the seedlings get stronger, the shelter is removed. A pick is carried out when 3-4 leaves appear on the seedlings. Seedlings are planted in separate cups filled with loose fertile soil. It is advisable to mulch the top of the plant to maintain moisture in the soil. As the seedlings grow, it must be hardened by ventilating the room or taking containers outside. As soon as the seedlings get stronger, they are planted in open ground.

Propagation by cuttings

If you have a mature budlea shrub that you want to propagate, you can use cut cuttings... It is most convenient to do this after spring pruning, using shoots 15-20 cm long, you can use both green and lignified cuttings. Mature branches are cut from the bush in the fall and stored until spring in a cold basement, after which they are used as planting material.

Before planting on cuttings, remove the lower buds and process them with "Kornevin" for better formation of the root system. For planting, use garden soil mixed with peat and sand. The seedlings are buried to a depth of 3-5 cm, be sure to cover them with a film. They remove the shelter after the appearance of new shoots, when rooting occurs. This process usually takes about 2 months.

Landing in a permanent place

For a budley, planting and grooming according to the rules is essential. Up to two or three years of age, the plant is grown in containers with soil consisting of a mixture of leafy, turfy soil and sand. Budley hibernates in the basement, and with the onset of warmth it is taken out into the open air. Only a sufficiently mature and mature bush is planted in the garden in a permanent place.

Budlea loves an abundance of sun and light. Plant it in the most illuminated place, where there are no strong drafts. The shoots of the bush are thin and fragile, easily broken by gusts of wind.

Rotted manure or a mixture of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers with ash is placed in the pit before planting. Correct landing Budley assumes compliance with a number of rules:

• The distance between plants must be at least 2 meters. Budleia bushes grow strongly. The size of the hole should be 40 × 40 centimeters, and the depth depends on the size of the root system.
• Drainage is laid at the bottom, with a layer of 10-15 cm, then a layer of soil mixed with fertilizer, and then a bush is placed.
• Root the system is carefully straightened and sprinkled with a layer of soil, lightly tamping the soil during the planting process. The neck should be at ground level.
• After planting, the budley is watered, the soil around the bush is mulched on top with compost.

In order to tolerate planting and care in the open field well, the plant is not disturbed by transplants once again. This procedure is hard to endure budleya, slows down growth and development, refuses to bloom. Therefore, in advance you need to choose a place where the plant can grow for many years.

Budley care

Since it is a flowering shrub, the plant needs regular maintenance, which consists of formative pruning, watering and fertilization... Subject to these rules, budleya will be able to give a lush flowering, and the inflorescences themselves will be large.

Pruning is done annually in the spring. Old shoots are cut in half, crooked and weak branches are cut out completely, forming the correct skeleton of the bush by pruning. As new shoots grow, they are shortened by ¾, the old ones are gradually cut out.If this is not done, the bush will lose its shape, and the flowering will become weak. Faded inflorescences are removed immediately after flowering, so that new clusters are successfully formed.

Fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out twice a season. After winter, nitrogen fertilizers are applied for abundant growth, and at the beginning of flowering, the plant must be fed with potassium and phosphorus. Organic matter is introduced periodically, alternating with mineral dressings. For this, ash, compost and humus are used.

In hot dry weather, the budley should be watered and preferably spray... This should be done in the evening. But it is important to remember that the shrub does not tolerate stagnant moisture at the roots. therefore, it is necessary to observe the measure in watering. So that moisture does not quickly evaporate from the soil, the trunk circle is covered with mulch.

Shelter for the winter

Low winter hardiness is the main disadvantage of David's budley for growing in our latitudes. The branches of the bush begin to freeze out even with a slight frost. Therefore, proper preparation for winter is very important.

Before hiding in the garden, in late autumn, the budley is watered and the next day it is sprinkled with soil, after which the bush is bent to the ground and covered with an interlayer of dry leaves, peat, spruce branches. A wooden or metal is installed on top carcass, which is covered with roofing material, slate, fiberglass - the covering material should not allow water to pass through.

The frame height should be 30-40 centimeters. This will make it possible to form a sufficient air gap so that the budlea does not freeze and do not melt. The farther north the shrub planting site, the higher the shelter should be and the more layers of covering material should be used. In this case, the budley in the garden will not die even in the most severe frosts. If individual branches are still damaged, immediately after removing the covering material, they are pruned.

Unusual exotic plants in any corner of the world always attract attention. Buddleya is one of those. You can meet him in the Moscow region, despite his foreign roots leading back to ancient China. A fountain of flowers, openwork leaves, spreading branches will perfectly decorate the landscape of a large space and a small corner of the summer cottage. But foreign roots make themselves felt - planting a buddley in the Moscow region and caring for it have some peculiarities.

Characteristics of buddleya

The buddlei bush (family Norichnikovye) can grow up to 3-5m - the height depends on the growing conditions. The plant is unusual in everything:

• long, 25cm, narrow leaves with a sharp tip;
• an inflorescence of small flowers forms either a brush up to 40 cm long, or a ball, or a panicle;
• the color of the inflorescences is varied, the classic color is violet-lilac;
• blooms from July and all autumn, attracting butterflies, insects with the sweet scent of honey;
• at the same time, seed formation, flowering and budding occur on the bush;
• life activity lasts about 10 years;
• when planted by cuttings, flowering can begin in the first year of growth.

Buddleya is grown as an ornamental plant and is used in group, single plantings, to create hedge compositions with perennials. Low-growing plants. The size of the bush allows you to hide buildings, some flaws, pipes. The bush also looks beautiful in flowerpots - the lower leaves are cut off, they form a crown.

It is interesting! Drugs based on buddleya lower the temperature, soothe, have an analgesic effect, and have antioxidant properties. It is used in the cosmetic and perfumery industries.

Site and soil requirements

A sunny area with loose soils, protected from through winds - ideal for planting buddleys. The correct choice of location will simplify further care in the changeable climate of the Moscow region. Light partial shade is acceptable, but shady areas with high groundwater levels are not suitable for light-loving shrubs. It is convenient to plant it along the fence, buildings, near verandas and terraces, given the distance to the bush - the crown is spreading, sometimes reaching up to 3m in diameter.

Soils with a high clay content are diluted by adding sand and humus, sandy loam and sandy soils are fertilized with ready-made manure - 1 bucket per 1m².

Growing buddley seeds

Sowing seeds and growing by seedlings is a convenient way of planting and care for the Moscow region, where frequent return frosts in spring, and constant positive temperatures are sometimes established late. Growing by sowing seeds in open ground creates certain difficulties: you need to close the plantings in cold weather and open in warm weather, water regularly, and in remote areas this is not always possible.

Sowing seeds is carried out in early March. Before planting, the seeds are kept on the lower shelf of the refrigerator for 2 weeks for stratification. The soil of neutral acidity, poured into containers, should be spilled with boiling water 3-4 days before sowing. Boxes, containers, pots should be wide and have drainage holes.

Reference! Coconut substrate is suitable as soil.

Procedure:

• for convenience, mix small seeds with fine-grained sand;
• seeds scattered on wet soil are not buried, but only slightly pressed with a spoon, a ruler and moistened from a spray bottle;
• cover containers with transparent material (glass, cellophane) and put in heat (20 ° -24 °), where there is no direct sunlight;
• periodically raise the shelter to remove condensation;
• when shoots appear, rearrange the containers to a cooler place and remove the shelter;
• watering with water in a pan, it is important, alternate with watering with a weak solution of manganese - prevention of black leg infection;
• make a pick into individual containers, best of all in peat pots, if there are 3-4 leaves;
• to compensate for the lack of lighting with the help of backlighting;
• gradually accustom the growing plants to the conditions of open ground, taking them out to the balcony, loggia, on the terrace or by opening the window leaf, window (without drafts).

Planting seedlings in open ground

The site must first be dug up, weeds and plant roots must be removed. Planting is carried out in pits with a side of 40 cm and a depth of 20 cm. Taking into account the growth of the crown, keep the distance between the pits at least 2 m.

Be sure to put a layer (15 cm) of drainage from coarse sand on the bottom, pour a mixture (5 cm) of compost and a complex of minerals on top.

Place the seedling, together with the ground, evenly in the hole so that the neck is at ground level, cover it with earth, slightly compact and water. Dig in the garter peg at the same time. Apply mulch to the soil to retain moisture and protect against weeds.

Growing buddley from cuttings

Cuttings, 15-20cm long, can be cut during spring pruning or autumn, keeping them in a cool place until spring. For planting, you can use cuttings from young shoots and from old branches with dense bark. Sliced ​​in the spring, planted immediately, removing the lower buds and keeping for several hours in a root growth stimulator. Planting is carried out under the film, deepening into the ground by 3-5 cm. The shelter is removed when shoots appear after about 2 months.

Planting care

Caring for the planted buddleya seedlings is simple: watering, weeding, loosening, feeding and pruning - everything that is carried out with other plants:

• Watering is carried out only when the soil dries up - 1 bucket per plant. Precipitation and mulched soil enable the soil to become saturated with moisture. In hot weather, you can freshen the bush with evening spraying.
• Top dressing. In the spring, during the period of active growth, nitrogen fertilizers are applied. Before flowering - fertilizers with potassium and phosphorus, during flowering - organic matter in solutions (infusion of manure, greenery 1:10).
• Pruning. In early spring, cut the branches of low-growing bushes up to 30 cm in length, tall varieties - up to 1 m. The procedure helps to form the crown, rejuvenates the plant. Dried and withering inflorescences need to be cut off.

• Prevention of diseases and pests. The plant is sometimes affected by gray mold.Sick leaves and shoots noticed during examination must be removed, trying to avoid contact with neighboring branches, and disposed of (not on the site). Treat the entire bush with a fungicide in dry, calm weather in the evening.

From pests (whitefly, spider mites), preventive treatment with insecticidal preparations will help.

Preparing for winter

Sharp temperature fluctuations in autumn and winter can damage the buddleya. Without shelter, branches, especially young ones, freeze at low temperatures, even small ones.

With the onset of autumn cold weather, before proceeding to the shelter, the plant must be well watered and the trunk must be spud. Then bend it, fix and install a frame (metal, wood) on top, at least 30-40cm high. At a lower height, the air gap will be insufficient to protect against frost in winter, and in the fall, branches may begin to flutter due to temperature fluctuations. Cover the space inside the frame with dry foliage, peat, spruce branches, and cover the outside with any material that does not allow water to pass through (roofing material, slate). In the spring, free from the shelter, inspect and cut, if any, frozen branches. The colder the winter, the thicker the shelter layer.

Information! In buddleya purple, flowers in inflorescences are smaller than in other species - only 2 cm. They have a very bright lilac color and brighten up the territory wonderfully, standing out against the background of other flowers. Planting this variety in the Moscow region and caring for it does not differ from other species, therefore this species can often be seen on personal plots - it is impossible not to notice it.

Buddleya purple

Growing seedlings takes place without problems, planting in open ground too. Seedlings grow well, rooting after planting is quick. The planted seedlings are actively growing and by autumn they gain a height of up to 1 m. In the future, much depends on the weather conditions in summer and autumn. It often happens that a bush that has gained color does not have time to bloom due to the cool summer and cold weather that came earlier than usual. If the summer is warm and the weather is mild for a long time in autumn, flowering lasts until frost. Those who ignored the shelter for the winter, in the spring, most often, get frozen branches or a completely frozen plant.

Comparing all observations, we can conclude that the cultivation of thermophilic buddleya in the Moscow region largely depends on weather conditions. But, given the climate of the region, creating favorable conditions and observing agricultural techniques, you can get a flowering plant and save it in the difficult climate of the Moscow region.

A budlea shrub, planting and caring for which in the open field is not particularly difficult, can become a highlight of a dull autumn landscape in a country courtyard. This plant blooms in late summer and autumn, at a time when most ornamental crops have long since faded.

Budleya - what is she like?

Budleya belongs to the Norichnikov family. Asia, South Africa and America are considered its homeland. The plant got its name from the name of the botanist Adam Buddle.

People call budleya autumn lilac for the similarity of the shape of its inflorescences with traditional lilacs. The flowers of the plant have a strong honey aroma that attracts various insects, including butterflies. Therefore, this shrub is very often called a moth tree or a butterfly magnet.

Flower growers know more than 100 types of budley, both evergreen and deciduous. These can be herbaceous plants or shrubs, sometimes reaching 3 meters in height. The shape, color and size of the inflorescences are also very diverse. Plants bloom for a long time: from mid-late summer to late autumn.

On the budleia bush, you can see simultaneously opened inflorescences, only buds that are forming and already set fruits.

Despite the fact that the homeland of the plant is countries with a warm climate, in colder regions it is also possible to plant budlei and care in the open field. For the winter, you need to cover the shrub so that the ground part of the plant does not suffer from frost.

How to propagate budley

Reproduction of budleya is possible in two ways. Each of them has its own right to use.

Seed propagation

This is a very time consuming method. The seeds can be bought at a specialty store or harvested from a bush in late autumn. But whether the seeds collected with their own hands will sprout depends on whether they ripened well enough. The fact is that, for example, planting a budley and leaving in Siberia in the open field behind it is possible. But seeds in cold climates do not have enough time to ripen. Therefore, it is better to give preference to purchased seeds.

The soil used for sowing must be neutral in acidity. The seeds, since they are very small, are best mixed with sand. They are sown on loose soil and slightly nestle. The container is covered with foil or glass. Watering is done with a spray bottle. The container is placed in a warm and bright place.

The planting material should be regularly ventilated and moistened. The first shoots appear on days 14-21. At the stage of appearance of 3-4 leaves, the seedlings dive into separate pots. Only with the onset of persistent heat in the spring begins planting and caring for budley in the ground in the open air.

Propagation by cuttings

For propagation by cuttings, you can use young spring shoots 15-20 centimeters long or woody twigs cut in the fall. On the cuttings, the lower buds are removed and treated with a growth stimulant. The twigs are buried 3-5 cm in the ground and covered with foil. Rooting takes place over two months. The film is removed only after the appearance of new shoots.

Regardless of which method of plant propagation is chosen, the first stages of germination and rooting are best done at home. Planting and caring for a budley in the open field is possible only after the onset of warmth.

Features of planting and caring for a budley

Choose places for planting budleia bushes should be sunny and protected from strong winds and drafts.

The plant prefers soil that is moist and well fertilized.

The distance between budleia bushes should be large enough (approximately 1-1.5 meters), as the plant grows rapidly.

When planting and nursing outdoors, the budley should be pruned regularly. In the first year after planting, young shoots are cut to half. The next year, the newly regrown stems are pruned. It is recommended to leave 2 kidneys on them.

Pruning not only helps to shape the bush, it promotes longer plant life and stimulates active flowering.

Wintering budley bushes

To get a gorgeous flowering bush, it is not enough to provide more planting and maintenance in the ground. Wintering in a warm place is the main condition for good growth and vigorous flowering. Budlea is very demanding on wintering conditions, since there are practically no severe frosts in its native halo of growth. In the climatic conditions of the middle zone, the ground part of this southern plant (if it is not covered) completely freezes in winter. Only the roots hidden in the ground remain alive, capable of giving new growth in spring under favorable conditions.

In order to be able to admire the flowers of the budlea in autumn, planting and care in the ground in the suburbs involves the creation of special conditions for the wintering period. From about the end of July, you should stop making any kind of plant nutrition, including mulching the trunks with compost. Also, from this period, ash and other fertilizers should not be applied to the soil. This is necessary so that the plant has time to prepare for winter.

The signal that it is time to cover the plant is the leaves that have begun to turn black. This usually happens in October or November. To cover the bush, you should choose a dry, sunny day. The shelter should be built in the following order:

1. Sprinkle the bush with dry soil up to the level of the third bud.
2. Cut off the protruding stems, leaving branches approximately 20 cm long.
3. Cover the bush with spruce branches.
4. Cover the structure with a large wooden box on top.
5. Place roofing material or slate on top of the box to protect the shelter from rain.

There should be enough air in the shelter for a safe wintering of the budley. Therefore, the film and sawdust are unsuitable for insulation. Under them, the branches of the plant, as well as its roots, can trample.

The construction of winter shelters makes it possible to plant and leave the budley in the open ground in the Urals, and even in Siberia. In these regions with cold winters, keeping the plant is much more difficult, but still possible. The main thing is to wait for persistent spring heat without frost, and only then open the bush. Snow also helps a thermophilic plant to winter well. It retains heat well inside the shelter.

Growing budley in harsh conditions unusual for it, you should rely on wild, seed-grown plant varieties. Seeds are also desirable to be collected from bushes grown in the middle lane, and not in hot countries. This fact, combined with proper care and proper organization of wintering, will help you grow a wonderful exotic plant in your garden.

Corollas can be painted white, cream, pink, yellow, orange, crimson. Flowering begins in summer and lasts until late autumn. It is interesting that at the same time on the bush there may be unopened corollas, flowering inflorescences and fruits. The fruit is an oblong seed capsule. The folk names of buddleya are a magnet for butterflies, autumn lilacs. In fact, the honey scent attracts insects, and the spike-shaped inflorescences are like lilacs.

A beautifully flowering shrub in the natural environment can be found in Asia, America, Africa.

This perennial plant is suitable for outdoor cultivation. In the northern regions, shelter is required for the winter. Even if the stems are frozen, the damaged areas just need to be cut off - and the young shoots will quickly grow back.

Growing buddley from seeds When to plant seedlings

Buddley seeds photo

To grow buddlea seedlings, pre-stratify the seed - keep the seeds in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator for about two weeks. Sow buddley in early March. Use a wide container (dish, container, drawer) with holes for water outflow. Place a drainage layer on the bottom of the container, fill with a neutral reaction substrate.

• Mix small seeds with sand, scatter over the surface of the soil, lightly press with a ruler.
• Spray with a spray bottle.
• Cover crops with glass or transparent film.
• Lighting must be bright, but without direct sunlight.
• Maintain the air temperature between 20-24 ° C.
• Ventilate crops regularly to remove condensation.
• For watering, you can sometimes use a weak solution of potassium permanganate (light pink), so that the crops are not affected by rot "black leg".

Seed buddleya photo seedlings

• With the appearance of 3-4 true leaves, the seedlings dive in separate containers. It is best to use peat pots.
• Gradually accustom the grown seedlings to outdoor conditions - put the plants by an open window, take them out to the balcony or garden, but protect them from drafts. Plant hardened plants in open ground.

How to sow buddley seedlings, the video will tell:

Seedlings develop well in a coconut substrate, and so that the plants do not stretch, use supplemental lighting with phytolamps.

Propagation of buddley cuttings

Rooted cuttings of buddleya photo

For propagation, use cuttings 15-20 cm long. Cuttings can be of two types:

1. Cuttings from green young shoots that are cut in the spring.
2. Cuttings from lignified shoots, which are cut in the fall.

Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, treat the cut with a growth stimulator. Plant in a sandy-peat mixture, deepening the cuttings by 3-5 cm, cover with a cap, ventilate, moisten the soil. After a couple of weeks, rooting will occur, the shelter must be removed and the young plants should be planted in open ground. Be sure to provide shelter for the winter.

How to plant buddley seedlings in the ground

How to properly plant a buddleya photo of Buddley David landing and leaving in the suburbs and the middle lane

Budleia bushes grow quickly, so keep the distance between plants at least 2 meters. In crowded conditions, the plant will suffer from a lack of light and nutrients.

• Dig a 40 x 40 cm planting hole, 20 cm deep beyond the size of the root system.
• At the bottom, lay a drainage layer 15 cm thick (coarse sand), allocate about 5 cm for organic feeding (mix the compost with complex mineral fertilizers).
• Together with the earthy clod, transfer the seedling into the hole, fill the rest of the space with soil, press down a little, water well.
• The root collar should be flush with the soil.
• Cover the area around the trunk with compost.

How to care for a buddleya in the garden

Watering

Buddleya may well be content with precipitation, especially if the root zone is mulched. Water only when the soil is excessively dry. It is enough to add 1 bucket of water under each bush. In the evenings, you can spray the bush with warm water.

Top dressing

To recover from the winter period, apply nitrogen fertilizers with the onset of spring. Before flowering, it is best to add potassium-phosphorus. Feed organics during the flowering period.

Pruning

Pruning is an integral part of grooming. In early spring, it is necessary to drastically cut the shoots. For low-growing species, leave 30 cm above the soil surface, for tall ones - 1 meter. This promotes the rejuvenation of the plant and the formation of a neat bush. Periodically pinch the tops of the shoots, cut off the faded flower stalks.

Diseases and pests

Occasionally, a plant can be affected by gray rot, provoked by excess moisture. Remove damaged areas, treat with fungicide. To prevent the disease from appearing, water only in very dry weather; for prevention purposes, you can spray it with a fungicide in the evenings.

The main pests are spider mites and whiteflies. It should be treated with an insecticide.
