Derain white siberica planting and care in the open field

The Siberian land is rich and glorious: bird and beast, vast expanses and hardworking people ... And also because he gave the world a plant from the cornelian family, capable of looking elegant and festive at any time of the year. We are talking, of course, about the derain, which is also popularly called "Svida", "Svidina white" or "Siberica", emphasizing its origin. At first glance, it is very similar to its North American relative, the silky svidina (it is also the offspring), but at the same time it has a number of important differences. But first things first…

What does derain look like?

Derain white (aka white telikrania) is a deciduous, highly branched shrub, capable of reaching a height of up to 2.5 meters, with the following characteristic features:

1. straight flexible shiny branches of an unusual bright red color, and in the coloration, perhaps, all shades of this color are presented: from coral and blood-red to brown-red. The color saturation depends on the season and the age of the plant: the younger it is, the brighter the color. Another feature is that this color usually appears after the dogwood is systematically cut. By old age, the branches bend arched, and the color can acquire a grayish tint. Also in horticulture there are varieties with yellow bark.
2. spreading wide crown with a diameter of about 2 meters.
3. slightly folded opposite leaves from 2 to 10 cm long and up to 7 cm wide with prominent arcuate veins and specks and stripes in the center of the leaf. The leaf plates are most often oval, less often ovoid, short pubescent, dark green above, bluish below.
4. scarce flowers in the form of thick, creamy-greenish inflorescences with a diameter of 3-5 cm.
5. densely pubescent pedicels of grayish or reddish color.
6. calyx with wide-triangular teeth and corolla with four white petals 4-5 mm.
7. the fruit is a small round berry-shaped drupe that forms after flowering in place of flowers. When ripe, it changes its color from bluish-blue to bluish-white. Has a slight waxy coating.

Telekraniya differs from American svidina:

1. shoots (in the first, they bend strongly to the ground and often root at the top).
2. fruit color (milky white versus bluish-white).
3. the shape of the bones (in svidina it is almost spherical).

There are two forms of Siberian: with variegated leaves and with leaves bordered by a creamy white stripe. In autumn, they change their color to yellow, violet or purple. The plant blooms from May to June and is an excellent honey plant during this period.

Where is it used

White svidina not only attracts attention with its all-season decorativeness and beauty (it can decorate any park or garden even in autumn and winter, being without leaves), but also unpretentiousness, rare for a plant, which manifests itself in the following:

1. the ability to grow in the sun and shade.
2. cold resistance.
3. good adaptability to urban conditions.
4. the ability to preserve decorativeness, even while under the crowns of taller plants.

Due to this, as well as its unusual appearance, Siberia is used in landscape gardening and greening of cities and private farmsteads:

1. singly and in groups.
2. in combination with white-stemmed birches, dark-stemmed thuja or trees, whose leaves acquire a bright color in autumn.
3. for the design of alleys and roads, house paths and the formation of hedges.
4. to create background compositions.
5. for masking various outbuildings or creating an interesting and memorable contrast with the white brick wall of the house.

In addition to the aesthetic, telekraniya also has practical value. Its wood lends itself well to processing and serves as a good durable material for making walking sticks and various art products. Derain is also known to connoisseurs of traditional medicine, who make decoctions and infusions from its berries in the fight against diseases such as:

1. metabolic disorder.
2. obesity.
3. diabetes.
4. hypertension.
5. various skin pathologies.
6. colds.

The seeds of this shrub are often recommended by traditional healers as one of the means for curing diseases of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, veins and joints and cleansing the body of toxins and other harmful substances. However, with individual intolerance and increased acidity of gastric juice, it is better not to use them.

How to land him: tips and observations

One interesting feature has long been noticed behind the turf: no matter how unpretentious it may be, with the slightest careless care it quickly begins to run wild, and thanks to the birds that easily carry its seeds, it will spread in this form over large areas. True, it can be assumed that this is a feature not only of Siberia alone, but of at least most of the plants belonging to the cornel family. For example, our already mentioned "relative" silky svidina in the wild often forms impassable thickets. Therefore, if you decide to decorate your garden with this beautiful plant, you need to mentally prepare yourself for the fact that you will have to spend some time on caring for it.

First of all, you should choose a landing site. Yes, the turf can really grow wherever it is indicated and ordered, but if a dark corner of the garden becomes his home, the leaves will lose their famous decorative color, and the turf will simply become an invisible part of this corner. But in brightly lit or at least semi-shady areas, he will feel quite even wonderful.

The second thing to consider when planting deren is the soil. In principle, the Siberian unpretentiousness of the plant is at an altitude here: the dogwood feels equally well on any land that a person can offer him, but it will fully manifest its beauty and singularity on slightly acidic soils with loam or sandy loam. If the soil is heavy or light, you can adjust it by adding sand to it in the first case, and clay in the second. Also, the derain will treat the use of humus or peat favorably - naturally, within reasonable limits - and will respond to it with faster growth.

Finally, the third thing to choose is the landing method. Derain can be propagated and planted by any of the known methods - seed, dividing the bush, cuttings, layering - however, when choosing and using them, some nuances should be taken into account. For example, the seeds of Siberia develop for a long time and, in addition, require mandatory stratification. Derain, planted with seeds, blooms much later than the one planted by layering or cuttings, so gardening experts still recommend planting this shrub in one of these ways. Cuttings must be properly prepared: cut off the right amount from an adult bush at the beginning of summer, plant them for rooting in moist soil and, after waiting for them to turn into seedlings (and this will happen next year), transplant to a permanent place. For the winter preceding the transplant, they can be insulated or, having dug out, transferred to the basement, and with the onset of spring, transplanted straight from there to the place chosen for the deer.

The landing scheme of Siberia is as follows:

1. dig a hole in the selected soil into which the numerous roots of the plant would fit freely.
2. place a seedling in it so that the root collar is at ground level or 1-2 cm below it.
3. fill the hole and water it well.

The most favorable time for disembarkation is early spring or autumn. The shrub is distinguished by its rapid and violent growth, so if you plan to plant it not one by one, then the distance between the bushes should be at least one meter, and in the hedge - up to 50 cm.

Caring for the plant does not seem particularly difficult, the only condition is its timeliness. At the first stage, when the seedlings are still young, they need to be watered regularly, especially in the first months of spring and summer. Then, when they turn one or two years old and they come into force, this can be done only in very intense heat, but it must be done, otherwise the dogwood will dry out quickly. In normal weather, an adult plant has enough moisture obtained from precipitation, additional watering, carried out from time to time, will only contribute to the formation of thicker shoots and brighter color. Also, young shrubs need to be weeded out of weeds that will inhibit their growth, and mulched to keep the soil moist. Fertilizers after planting can not be applied at all, with the exception of humus or peat in small quantities, which are usually used in summer. True, some sources still recommend feeding deren bushes with complex mineral fertilizers in spring, but most likely this depends on the region in which you live and the quality of the soil there.

From the age of 3 years, the turf can be trimmed to form a proper and correct crown and in order to stimulate its branching in the lower part. Old branches and those that protrude beyond the profile of the plant are pruned so that it does not look unkempt, unkempt and unkempt. Experienced gardeners do not recommend leaving shoots in the crown of a shrub that are more than three years old. This procedure must also be carried out because without timely circumcision the Siberian will become naked, which is undesirable to allow. Finally, pruning it helps control the size of the plant and prevents it from overgrowing the entire garden or park. The height to which the plant can be cut can be very different - even at the level of 15 cm from the ground.

As for garden pests, there is no mention in any authoritative source on gardening that the white derain should be afraid of any of them, except, perhaps, hooligan people, whom any plants and flowers should be afraid of. But if, nevertheless, some harmful bug wants to encroach on Siberia, then they usually fight with it in the same way as in all other cases - with insecticides or acaricidal preparations.

Conclusion

In a sense, the white soddy of Siberian can be called a stylish garden shrub - of course, if it is cared for. If you take care of him, then he is able to delight your eye with his flowering and appearance for more than 25 years. Well, if you do not look after, then it is enough to look at some picture, which shows how silky svidina looks in the wild ...

There is one shrub in the Kizilov family, which is calleddogwood white Siberica Variegata... This plant has long been loved by gardeners for its originality, singularity and beauty, as well as unpretentiousness and ease of care. The tall shrub will decorate every garden, and its original colors will attract the eye at any time of the year.

Peculiarities

On a note. Dogwood white - according to Wikipedia - this is the same white telikrania, white Svida or White Svidina - a type of plant that appeared in Siberia. It is a member of the genus Cornel of the Cornel family.

The growth form of the plant is a deciduous shrub that grows from 1.5 to 2.5 m in height.He has a spreading wide crown, the diameter of which can reach 2 meters. But landscape designers liked him not for the shape, but for the fact that at any time of the year this amazing shrub has high decorative qualities:

• bright and even variegated color of the bark - from coral-red to brown-red and even with a grayish bloom;
• variegated fringed foliage that changes color in autumn (leaves can sparkle with yellow, purple or purple);
• early and lush flowering - the shrub blooms in the last decade of May;
• after white flowers, berries form on the bush;
• after planting, a bush of white turf blooms in the second or third year;
• the plant can bloom twice a season.

Even in winter, the red shoots of the sod of white Siberian against the background of snow look amazing and contrasting. Therefore, the plant is often used for landscaping paths or create a hedge from it.

On a note. White dogwood of Siberica Variegata is often planted in urban areas, thereby using it for landscaping - it has perfectly adapted to urban conditions and does not suffer from gas pollution.

In the genus cornel, there are up to 60 species and four subgenera. Derain white belongs to the subgenus of svidina (svida), therefore it is often called white svidina by the people.

The very name of the bush - "Siberica" ​​- indicates its homeland - this is Siberia, Korea and China. It is in this part of the world that the plant is often found in the wild.

In its natural environment, the bush can grow both in the shade of other trees and in the sun. And due to its Siberian origin, the dogwood is highly frost-resistant.

Choosing a place to grow a bush

There is an opinion that white dogwood can grow everywhere. This is true, but in order for the bush to have high decorative qualities, you need to take a closer look at the choice of the place of growth.

For planting white turf, slightly acidic soils with a predominance of sandy loam or loamy soil are better suited. The bush does not tolerate clay soils, as well as heavy ones. If the site is exactly like this, then sand is introduced into the ground before planting the bush. And if the soil is too light, you need to make it heavier by adding clay to it. For rapid rooting and development of the root system, humus can be added to the soil by mixing it with peat.

The area where you plan to plant the white turf should be well lit. But the plant will grow well even in the shade of tall trees with an openwork crown. If the area is too dark, then the bush loses its decorative color.

On a note. Derain white is an excellent melliferous culture. Its wood is often used in the manufacture of art products. And berries and seeds of the culture are popularly used as medicinal products!

Reproduction

White dogwood can be propagated in several ways:

• cuttings (lignified);
• by dividing an adult turf bush;
• by the seed method;
• layering.

The longest and not always successful way of plant propagation is by seed. Its advantage is that with this method, you can bring out a lot of planting material (seedlings). But this is a difficult path, since a flowering ornamental bush from this seedling is obtained only after a few years.

Cuttings

Most often, gardeners practice a vegetative propagation method for the described shrub. Cuttings are harvested in early summer, cutting them off from healthy adult bushes. Then the cuttings are dropped into damp ground and left to take root. They are insulated for the winter and do not require any maintenance until spring. With the beginning of spring, rooted cuttings can be transplanted to the chosen growth site.

By dividing the bush

White derain, the planting process of which is really very simple, can be propagated even easier: by dividing the bush, layering or offspring. In the first case, the root system of a separated bush is already almost fully developed - it remains only to plant it in a permanent place of growth.

Seeds

If the choice fell on seed reproduction, then this can be done as follows: in the fall, collect ripe berries, plant them in the soil (shallow), sprinkle with a small layer of sand and cover all with fallen leaves. Seeds will sprout in the spring. Of these, you should choose the largest specimens, and pull out the small and inconspicuous ones. The remaining seedlings are left untouched for two years, after which they are transplanted to a permanent place of growth.

Layers

Also, sod can be propagated by layering. To do this, the lower branch of the bush is bent to the ground and buried in, attaching something heavy on top or securing it with a bracket. By the next spring, a root system is formed under the cut, so the plant can be separated from the mother bush and planted in its main growth site. Something similar is carried out with the offspring: as soon as the offspring of the deren of white Siberia gains strength, it is carefully dug up and transplanted.

Landing

The first condition that must be observed in order for the bush to take root and grow faster is to prepare well the site for planting and choose the right planting material.

When buying Siberica seedlings in a nursery, it is better to choose a 1-3-year-old plant: such seedlings quickly acclimatize in a new place and take root. If the seedling is large, then before planting it in the open ground, the roots of the bush need to be held in water for several hours.

Planting a white turf begins with digging a hole ranging in size from 30 cm to 0.5 meters - its size depends on the age of the culture and on the degree of root development. The root system of the bush is shallow, so you don't need to dig too deep holes.

On the bottom of the pit we lay a layer of drainage (the turf does not like swampy soil) and sprinkle it with a nutritious soil mixture made by mixing humus and compost. After planting a bush, mulch is laid in the area of ​​the root circle and watered.

Care

Having planted white turf on the site, it will be very easy to care for it, especially when it has already turned into an adult plant. More careful care is required only for young plantations.

On a note. Derain white Siberica Variegata very rarely gets sick and is affected by pests, so every amateur gardener can grow it without appropriate experience.

Watering

With prolonged droughts, young bushes need to be watered at least twice a month - just pour 20-30 liters of water under the bush. The plant can grow well without special feeding. But in order for the plant to bloom magnificently in spring, it can be fed with a complex of mineral fertilizers (about 150 g per plant). In the summer, the soil is flavored with organic fertilizers (up to 7 kg per bush) - this will allow the turf to develop a root system and gain strength to endure the winter.

Pruning

For a plant such as white turf, care also consists in pruning branches. This is done twice a year, but only if the plant is already three years old. Moreover, after spring pruning, cuttings can be cut from the branches for propagation.

Pruning single bushes consists in removing sick, old shoots from them. In general, about a quarter of the shoots should be removed from the bush - this will make it more compact and the crown of the plant neat.

Circumcision care is also done in order to get even more young brightly colored shoots. If the white deren plant is planted as a hedge, then the shoots are pruned at the very beginning of summer and before the onset of autumn.

It is so easy and simple to plant and care for the white turf of Siberia in the future that today this plant can be seen both near an elite cottage and on the personal plot of an inexperienced gardener. This bush will make any area beautiful, original and contrasting.

In the photo, examples of the use of white deren in landscape design

Siberian Derain is a lush shrub plant from the Cornel family. Used in landscape design, planted in the form of improvised alleys, for zoning the site.

Description

The shrub grows up to 3 m in height. Young shoots are bright red, erect. Turn brown with age. The crown becomes spreading, up to 3 m wide.

Derain Siberica Variegata loses its decorative color of leaves when grown in a dense shade

The leaves are dark green above and light green below, with a white border or spots. In the fall, the foliage turns orange-red, while the edging color or mottling remains.

The plant blooms in May-June with inflorescences up to 5 cm in diameter, consisting of white small flowers. After flowering, strawberry-like fruits appear on the bushes.

The most popular species is Siberian Variegata sod - a shrub 1.5 m high and up to 2 m in diameter.

The dark red shoots become brighter in spring and fall. Dark green leaves with a white border acquire a purple-violet hue with the onset of autumn. The color of the border is preserved.

The plant is resistant to adverse natural conditions, but is afraid of direct sunlight.

Planting and leaving

The plant is undemanding to the content. Differs in frost and drought resistance. Easily adapts to urban conditions.

Dogwood propagates by dividing the bush, cuttings and seeds. The seed method is long-term, therefore it is not in demand in gardening.

Correct planting of a shrub requires compliance with the following rules:

• Choosing a place. Plant your turf in partial shade or in areas with access to shaded sunlight. With a lack of light, Siberian loses its color saturation. The plant is not demanding on the soil, but growth is improved on moist, drained soils with humus content.
• Well preparation. Make the distance between the pits 70-100 cm, taking into account the further transplantation of the bush. The depth of the pit is 50 cm.
• Disembarkation. Place in the hole a young growth, separated from the rhizome, or a cutting, cut from the top of the bush. The stalk takes root within 1 season.
• Transfer to open ground. Plant the rooted seedling in the spring in a hole fertilized with compost or humus. Bury the rhizome so that the root collar is 1-3 cm below the soil level.
• Powder the planting with a 2: 2: 1: 1 mixture of turf, compost, sand and peat. Water.

When propagating deren by seeds, prepare the planting material in advance. Stratify the seeds for a month at a temperature of +4 C. Plant in the soil in early spring or autumn. The plant will reach its adult size in 5-8 years.

Care for Siberia consists in feeding with mineral and organic fertilizers, pruning and watering during a drought.

The unpretentiousness and year-round decorative characteristics of the plant explain its relevance for planting on the scale of city parks, alleys, as well as private gardens, summer cottages as hedges and plant compositions.

White Derain (Cornus Alba) is an original garden culture with unique decorative qualities. The shrub is able to decorate the garden area, delighting with its beauty throughout the year.

All types of turf are considered to be spectacular ornamental crops, but white turf has won particular love among Russian gardeners.

The shrub is also called white dogwood and pork. And in the west and in the United States, the dogwood is called a dogwood. This is probably due to the fact that the deren fruits resemble wolf berries. However, it is possible that dogwood is a modified form of the word dagwood, which means "wood." Previously, in fact, shrubs made weapons from this wood - knives, daggers. Also, among the people, the bush is called krasnotal.

The shrub belongs to the Cornelian family. Derain white belongs to the species that get along well on the territory of Russia, since it is perfectly adapted to harsh winters. This is a large culture. Its branches are spreading and flexible. Branch bark coloration: red, red-brown.In natural nature, krasnotal is often found along roadsides, on the shores of reservoirs and on forest edges.

The shrub is beautiful all year round. At the end of the summer season, fruits ripen, which are round and white in color. Their diameter does not exceed 8 mm. At this time, white small flowers appear, which are collected in inflorescences. In the autumn, the foliage of the shrub is decorative. It takes on possible colors: burgundy, orange, crimson. And even in winter, against the background of white snow, the reddish bark of the deren looks very beautiful.

Varieties

Thanks to the work of breeders, varietal species of this plant were bred.

Siberia (Sibirica)Is a popular variety in Russia. This is an ornamental shrub. Differs in spreading branches, the bark of which has the color of corals. The bark takes on a particularly bright color in winter. The bush grows up to 3 meters in height. The leaves are oblong and dark green in color. With the onset of the autumn season, they acquire purple and burgundy colors. After the rains, the color of the foliage becomes even juicier, while drought is fraught with their pallor and rapid fall.

From early summer to autumn, Siberia blooms with white flowers, which are collected in inflorescences in the form of shields. At the same time, the fruits ripen. At first they are white, and as they mature, they become bluish.

It is shade-tolerant and frost-resistant. It is widely used in garden design. Shrubs grow out in groups, from which beautiful hedges, mixborders from shrubs are created. It can also be used for landscaping parks, squares and squares.

Siberica

Elengatissima Is a common shrub variety. Differs in large size - up to 3 meters in height and width. It features spreading branches, decorative bark and foliage throughout all seasons of the year. Can live for over 50 years.

Flowering begins in May and ends in late June. Flowering is represented by small flowers that are colored white. They are formed into inflorescences in the form of scutes. The foliage of the leaves is very decorative. Green leaves are distinguished by the presence of a wide white border. Can be up to 8 cm in length. In autumn, they take on yellow, orange or purple hues. At the beginning of the autumn period, berry-like fruits ripen, which have a bluish color.

The variety is characterized by fast growth. For a year, it can grow by 40 cm both in height and in width. Elengatissima is a drought-resistant, frost-resistant and shade-tolerant variety. The shoots are distinguished by a red bark, they look especially great in the winter season.

The variety is good for group plantings, planting in cities, squares and parks. It goes well with other shrubs. The ideal application is the creation of hedges.

Elengatissima

Siberica Variegata (Sibirica Variegata) - varietal variety, somewhat similar to Elengatissima. Moreover, its dimensions are somewhat smaller. The height that the bush can reach is 1.5 meters. Shrub diameters - up to 2 meters. Branches are spreading, deep red.

The leaves are large, dark green inside with a cream-colored border. From a distance they resemble just a white spot. With the onset of autumn, the leaves turn purple, while the border remains light. This makes the shrub very decorative throughout the year. It blooms with white small flowers with a greenish tint. The flowers have a pleasant aroma. White fruits take on a bluish tint as they ripen.

It is shade-tolerant, winter-hardy and drought-resistant variety. It is used for group plantings, goes well with deciduous and coniferous shrubs. Perfect for small gardens and hedges.

Siberica Variegata

Shpet (Spaethii)- decorative variety. On average, it grows up to 2 meters. It is distinguished by its incredible beauty in the autumn period due to the purple color of the leaves with the preservation of the yellow border.

Castings are large in size. In summer they are light green with a wide yellowish border, and in autumn they turn purple, while the color of the border remains. The bark of the branches is red-brown. Looks great in winter against the background of white snowdrifts. Berry-like fruits ripen in September, they are characterized by a bluish tinge. Small white flowers form inflorescences no more than 5 cm in size. Flowering lasts from May to July.

The variety is distinguished by shade tolerance, drought tolerance and frost resistance, however, it often freezes during winters with little snow and cold. Shpeta is a good specimen and also great for planting in groups. One of the uses of the variety is the creation of hedges.

Shpet

Ivory Halo Is a decorative varietal variety. Its height does not exceed 1.5 meters. The shoots are cherry colored, they form a compact crown. The green leaves have a wide yellowish border. In autumn, the leaves change color to purple.

It blooms with small yellowish flowers. They form in inflorescences in the form of scutes. The fruit ripens in September. They are white and spherical. As the fruits ripen, they take on a bluish tint.

Ivory Halo is suitable for planting in groups and as a tapeworm. It goes well with other deciduous and coniferous shrubs. Good for the formation of hedges and urban landscaping.

Landing

Planting deren Sibirica, Elengatissim and all the others does not require special skills and knowledge. The shrub is unpretentious. It is not required for the composition of the substrate. At the same time, it grows better and longer on fertile soil. It is better to choose cultivated soil that is free of stones and various debris. However, the vacant lots and streets of the city are also suitable for the successful growth of deer.

Derain white does not like acidic soils, so it is better if the soil is neutral or slightly alkaline. The shrub is fond of the high content of humus in the soil. In addition, a good drainage layer is required. There should be no stagnation of water in the ground. It is advisable to choose areas for planting where the soil is loose. In such a soil, the root system will develop much better.

For planting, it is best to choose places well-lit by the sun. However, the lawn grows well in partial shade, since most varieties are shade-tolerant. However, in strong shade, the leaves will not be as bright as in the sun. This is especially true for such varieties as Elengatissima, Sibirika Variegata, Shpet.

Planting is desirable in early spring, when the earth has not yet had time to thaw. If a seedling was purchased that has a closed root system, then it can be planted at the end of autumn. It is better to do this at least a month before the arrival of stable frosts, so that the plant adapts to such conditions.

The planting hole should be slightly larger in diameter than the size of the root system.

Care

Adult specimens tolerate drought well, but young plants need high-quality watering. Watering should be abundant so that the entire root system is saturated with moisture. Insufficient watering can lead to drying of the shoots. Adult plants should not be watered as abundantly as young plants. An exception is a prolonged drought.

Rolling leaves and drooping branches are a clear sign of a lack of moisture. If this happens, then the culture needs to be watered abundantly, moistening not only the surface of the soil, but also the entire root ball.

It is impossible to water the culture during the midday heat. The optimal time is early morning or evening hours.

Spring care includes pruning, top dressing, and occasional watering.

Top dressing is mainly needed only for young specimens. It is recommended to feed with humus or humus. Adult plants need fertilization only after diseases or pruning, as well as if the bush develops poorly or slowly.

Shelter for the winter is not required, since white turf is a frost-resistant crop. For example, the Elegantissima variety is able to withstand the most severe frosts. Even if the trunk of the bush freezes above the snow cover, then with the arrival of spring the plant will quickly recover.

Propagation by cuttings

Seed propagation of sod is a long and difficult process, therefore it is used extremely rarely. In view of this, propagation by cuttings is used for varieties of Elengatissim, Siberik and others.

Semi-lignified or lignified cuttings are used for propagation. If there are many cuttings, then they can be planted in cold greenhouses. If it is not enough, then separate containers are taken, flower pots will do.

Propagation by cuttings is carried out in the spring.

Planted cuttings should be watered and sprayed regularly.

This method of reproduction allows you to get a large number of new plants.

Pruning and trimming

Anti-aging pruning is necessary in the spring. You can do this in the fall, but in the winter the culture looks very decorative, so pruning in the fall is not worth it. When pruning, all old branches are cut off. Pruning stimulates the growth of new young shoots. Leave the height of the shoots about 20 cm from the stump.

Several times a season (about 3 times) the crop is sheared. Since the crown is very spreading, it needs to be shaped. Usually given an oval or spherical shape. In addition to improving the visual appearance, trimming helps to preserve the decorative properties of the shrub.

Varieties (Elengatissima, Siberica and others) lend themselves well to pruning and shearing.

Application in landscape design

Derain white is used in single and group plantings, used for mixborders from deciduous and coniferous shrubs. With the help of it, hedges are created, as well as winter gardens.

Ivory Halo

In addition, the shrub is great for urban greening. It is often planted near schools, medical institutions, on city alleys and squares. This is possible due to the deren's resistance to urban conditions. He is not afraid of dust, exhaust gases.

Deren white partners can be:

• Coniferous shrubs;
• Spirea;
• Barberry;
• Ferns;
• Alissum;
• Ivy.
