Sowing in open ground

daisy daisy planting and care in the open fieldSeed-planted cornflowers will bloom only the next season. In the first year, their root system will develop, and a bush will form. Sowing is done in spring or autumn.

Having chosen a place suitable for growing a daisy, it is necessary to dig up the beds and make grooves on them with a distance of 20 cm from each other. The planting material is sealed to a depth of two centimeters and covered with soil. The soil spills well.

Spring sown seeds will rise in about three weeks... Seedlings of garden chamomile grow slowly, therefore, only by the end of summer, seedlings are formed, which will need to be cut down. This must be done before the onset of cold weather, so that young plants have time to take root and get stronger.

Seedlings are transplanted into holes with dimensions of 30x30 cm. Each hole is fertilized with 300 g of humus or compost and 20 g of complex mineral fertilizer. A young plant is dug up along with a clod of earth, planted in a new place and watered well. The soil around the bushes is mulched with sawdust. After about two weeks, the seedlings are watered with a special solution, which is prepared from 20 g of saltpeter and a bucket of water.

Seeds sown in the fall will germinate only next spring. Seedlings are planted in a permanent place in May.

  2. The earthen mixture is spilled with a solution of potassium permanganate and leveled.
  3. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1 cm, sprinkled with a small layer of earth and moistened with water at room temperature from a spray bottle.
  4. Seeds should germinate at a temperature of + 22C. You can not cover the boxes with a film on top, you just need to make sure that the soil does not dry out.
  5. As soon as the first seedlings emerge, the seedling containers are placed in a well-lit and cooler place.
  6. When 2-3 true leaves appear, the seedlings dive into separate pots.
  7. Humus is added to the earthen mixture for transplanting seedlings.

Care features

daisy daisy planting and care in the open fieldNivyany like well-lit, ventilated areas. In partial shade, they will also grow and bloom, but their stems will begin to bend.

The soil for growing garden chamomile should be fertile, well-drained and soft. The plant needs to be watered regularly, especially after hot summer days. The constant dryness of the soil leads to the rapid wilting of the flowers and the aging of the plant. However, the nivyan does not need excess moisture. On poorly drained soils and with stagnant water in the plant roots begin to rot firstand then the stem.

Twice a month, garden chamomile is fed with nitrophos.At the beginning of active growth, nitrogen should prevail in the top dressing, and during the formation of buds, potassium must be included in the mineral fertilizer. If it is possible to feed the plant with a mullein solution, then it will not need mineral fertilizers.

Regular weeding, loosening of the soil and removal of wilted buds will help to get a beautiful and long flowering of the daisy plain, semi-double or double flowers.

Nivyanik ordinary cultivation and care

The blooming period of the daisy begins from the end of May and lasts about two months, after which re-blooming occurs at the end of the summer and autumn periods. To increase the flowering period, wilted peduncles should be removed immediately. In addition to decorating your garden, most varieties of cornflower produce an excellent cut that will last for about ten days.

Common cornflower is not only beautiful, but also very unpretentious in cultivation. Prefers fairly sunny areas with well-drained, fertilized and most importantly non-acidic soil. The daisy flower does not tolerate light sandy or heavy clay soils.

The plant responds very well and responsively to watering, but at the same time does not tolerate locking. On deeply cultivated nutrient soil, it forms rather lush bushes with larger flowers. In one place it usually grows no more than four to five years, over time the middle of the bush becomes bare, for this reason it needs to be planted and divided every three to four years.

The cornflower is winter-hardy, however, it needs a winter shelter, for preventive purposes, with leaves or coniferous spruce branches, in particular large-flowered and terry forms need this.

Leucanthemum nivyanik growing from seeds

The plant is fairly easy to propagate by seed. Seeds are sown for seedlings in March, the optimum temperature for seed germination is twenty-twenty-five degrees. Sowing depth - no more than half a centimeter.

The first shoots may appear within five days, but sometimes germination is delayed up to three weeks. Seedlings are planted in a permanent place in May at a distance of thirty to forty centimeters from each other.

Sycamore seeds can also be sown in March-April in a greenhouse or in April-May, as well as in the late autumn period in rows of open ground. In this case, young plants are planted in flower beds in August or September.

Nivyanik seedlings usually bloom in the second year after sowing, but there are varieties that bloom already in the year of sowing.

daisy daisy planting and care in the open fieldNivyaniki are often considered an ordinary chamomile. The inflorescence has the usual chamomile shape, only as a rule they have larger flower baskets. In our gardens, common or meadow daisies grow (l.vulgre) and the largest (l. maximum), as well as its hybrids. But the variety of colors is incredible.

Common cornflower blooms from the beginning of June for 2 months. It can be found in almost any flower garden. He is not picky about the soil, winters well, does not need shelter, and he has excellent decorative properties.

Nivyanik growing, let's talk about the intricacies of caring for this garden flower.

The height of the species is 60 - 70 cm, the flowers are white, 5 - 6 cm in diameter with a yellow center. The flower has a powerful, branched and creeping root system that can grow over long distances.

Nivyanik is prone to self-seeding - its seedlings can be found far from their parent to their surprise. For these reasons, it is best to plant the flower separately from other flowering plants.

The varietal daisies have a much larger diameter of flowers than the species, in addition, they do not grow so much. However, it should be noted that there is no particular variety in the varieties. Nivyaniki differ mainly in growth: high - up to 1 meter. The most common variety is Mei Queen, the length of the peduncles of which is about 50 cm.

daisy daisy planting and care in the open field

mei queen

Breeders paid attention to the largest daisy, from which they received many varieties. It is less durable and stable than ordinary, lives only 3 years (although winter hardiness is high). Therefore, it must be divided every 2 years.

The height of the varietal daisies varies from 30 to 100 cm, and the diameter of the inflorescence is 7..10 cm. The main difference between this species and its varieties is the later flowering than that of the common daisy.

In the middle lane, flowering occurs in mid-July and lasts until September. It is such a long and abundant flowering that takes a lot of energy from the plant, making it unstable to adverse conditions, as well as wintering.

The growth and formation of new shoots throughout the season is a property of young plants. Therefore, the largest daisy is grown practically as a biennial. A flower with a rosette of leaves overwinters.

Nivyanik varieties

There are only two colors - white and yellow ...

And what a variety of hybrid varieties of cornflower have appeared recently! Semi-double and double, high, low, pure white and the color of baked milk, there are reed flowers, with curls, elongated, with rounded and ragged edges.

One of the most unusual varieties to date - Lacrosse (lackrosse) - appeared not so long ago. It is not high 40 cm, with white petals, cut at the ends, slightly twisted into a tube.

There are forms of daisy with simple inflorescences, in which white reed flowers are located along the edge in one - 2 rows, and with double, where the inflorescence is filled with many rows of white reed flowers.

Double-flowered varieties are somewhat different from each other. The Snow Maiden (Snehurka), Aglaia (Aglaia) and others have funny flowers of a button with short petals, sometimes of different lengths and an open yellow center.

Nivyanik varieties with simple petals attract a great variety. Low (up to 30 cm) Snow Cap - can be used as casing or to create a low long-flowering border.

Approximately 2 years ago, varieties of daisy appeared with yellow and lemon-yellow color of reed flowers, for example, Banana Cream. In the garden, the variety immediately stands out effectively with the compactness of the downed bush, as well as the abundance of flowering.

Banana Cream

At Goldfinch and Sonnenscheine, the color is brighter when dissolved, and then gradually, especially in the sun, it becomes lighter, the color of baked milk.

With the participation of "chamomile" - the nivyanka, flower beds look very refined and elegant.

Every year such interesting flower cultures appear more and more actively, delighting flower lovers.

Nivyanik cultivation: feeding, lighting

The flower needs attention. Nivyaniki love good nutritious soil, an open sunny place, frequent division, feeding twice a season.

Moreover, in the spring they can be watered with an organic solution, and after flowering - with mineral fertilizers, also better in liquid form.

Nivyaniks have many enemies - they are easily affected by fungal diseases, so do not get carried away with nitrogen fertilizing, carry out preventive treatments with biological fungicides (Alirin, Gamair, Fitosporin) in the spring and chemical when diseases appear.

Aphids can also damage flowers, use Confidor systemic insecticides, as well as its analogues.

When growing a daisy for cutting, the bushes must be divided annually, prepared well-fertilized organic soil and watered regularly.

Flowers reproduce vegetatively, with seed propagation the characteristics of the variety are not preserved. The exception is the Crazy Daisy variety.

daisy daisy planting and care in the open field

It is better to divide the daisy bushes in the spring: in the fall, many plants die. Cut in the second half of summer, while planting small basal rosettes.

Designers classify nivyaniki as stable ornamental plants. They can be used in mixborders, beddings, they are good in group plantings. These magnificent perennials are excellent partners for many flowers: bells, cornflowers, paniculate phlox, and especially spotted, if the "daisies" are tall.

Nivyany give excellent cutting. Bouquets of the simplest snow-white varieties with inflorescences of astilbe, gypsophila or basilis look great. They stand in water for a long time, especially when adding HB-101 (according to the instructions).

Nivyaniki in the cut

Flowers stand well in cut. However, if you need to keep the flowers for a long time, they are wrapped in paper and placed in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator (+ 2 ... + 4 degrees).

In this case, vegetables and fruits must be removed from there, otherwise the flowers will quickly wither. So they can be stored for about 2 weeks without losing their appearance. It is important that they do not receive light at the same time, so the paper is used in several layers.

After the nyvyaniki were taken out to compose a bouquet, the cuts of the stems need to be updated. Then wrap it in a paper cone, fasten its edges with a stapler on top and put it back in water until they restore turgor. After about an hour, the paper is removed.

Nivyanik cultivation: cuttings

Nivyaniki is easy to propagate by dividing the bush in spring or autumn, and the largest one is better in spring or at the very beginning of autumn.

The rhizome usually grows quickly; in a couple of years, a small clearing will already turn out from a small piece. Of course, many new varieties do not differ with such agility. Delenki need to be provided with at least the minimum space - an interval of 30 - 40 cm.

It is possible to cut the daisy in the first half of the season, first cutting off young green shoots, later - coarse (semi-lignified), which are divided into parts up to 15 cm in size.

Usually only new varieties and cultivars are grown from seeds, sowing before winter or spring in pots or a garden bed. Many daisies (excluding rare species) set seeds well, they have time to ripen, and are actively sown.
