Adonis, dawn - folk names of lychnis, very accurately conveying the main feature of this flower. Lychnis is immediately noticeable in any flower bed: a bright flower is simply striking. Lychnis stems are straight, from 30 cm to 1 m in height, depending on the type of plant, of an unusual ash color with a few lance-shaped leaves. Inflorescences are usually white, pink or red.

Lychnis bloom

Perennial flowering lasts about a month, and if dried flowers are removed in time, you can lengthen the specified period by several more weeks. Another feature of the plant is soapiness (rhizome, petals can wash), therefore lychnis is also popularly called "Tatar soap" or "soap dish".

Lychnis, planting and caring for it are not particularly difficult, therefore the flower is recommended as one of the first for growing by inexperienced gardeners.

The genus lychnis contains more than 30 species of plants, both annual and perennial, but 10 species are most widespread in landscape design, including crown lychnis, chalcedony, alpine, and Viscaria.

What other perennial flowers can be grown in the garden (with video)

Lily is a perennial bulbous plant. The height of the stems is from 5 cm (in the alpine form of the Daurian lily) to 3 m (in the giant lily). Flowers are varied in shape: tubular, turban-shaped, funnel-shaped.The color of the flowers is white, pink, red, yellow, orange in pure colors and with specks. Lilies are propagated by seeds, bulbs, and scales of bulbs.

18 species of lilies grow in nature. In our zone, you can successfully grow white, regale (royal), tiger (Thunberg), etc. Scaly bulbs ranging in size from 2 to 20 cm, depending on the species. The roots of the bulb are perennial

Therefore, when transplanting, the bulbs are carefully dug up and stored without drying. Some species (regale) form annual roots on stems above the bulb

These lilies need a deeper planting.

For a successful culture of lilies, they must be planted in open, sunny, sheltered places from the wind. The best planting time is August - September. Planting depth depends on the size of the bulbs and the presence of supra-bulbous roots. Lily species with stem roots are planted to a depth of 15-20 cm, without stem roots 7-8 cm, counting from the bottom to the soil surface. The distance when planting is 20-40 cm. Lilies are transplanted after 4-5 years, keeping the roots of the belly roots.

Peonies. Peony is one of the most decorative and at the same time unpretentious perennials. The plant is winter-hardy, in one place it can grow for more than 15 years. The flowers are very large, double, semi-double, simple, solitary, or arranged in groups of 2 - 3 flowers at the ends of the stems. Depending on the variety, they differ in a variety of colors: white, pink, red and less often yellow, in pure and transitional colors. The most decorative varieties are distinguished:

Memory of Gagarin

Anniversary

Bloom from late May to July. Peonies prefer a sunny place with loamy cultivated soils. Peonies are propagated by dividing the bush. In a separate part (division) there should be at least 3-4 buds and a part of the rhizome. The best planting time is late August - early September. Peonies are planted in large pits (50 cm deep, 70 cm wide), well filled with fertilizers: 20-25 kg of humus, 300 g of superphosphate and 75 g of potassium fertilizers.

Below you will find out what beautiful biennial flowers can be planted in the garden.

Caring for a swimsuit in the garden

Transplanted young bathers need to be systematically watered and protected from direct sunlight for the first four weeks. Bushes at the age of 2-3 years, growing in sunny areas, have a height of about 0.5-0.6 m. If the swimsuit is planted in a shaded place, then by this time its height may be 0.8-0.9 m, at the same time, both leaf petioles and shoots grow longer. But it should be borne in mind that a bush grown in a shaded place blooms less abundantly, and the color of its flowers is not so saturated. If, for a flower, an area located in the shade is chosen, then its development and growth takes place more slowly, while in this case it reaches its maximum value only at 6 or 7 years.Lack of light has an extremely negative effect on the splendor of the flowering, as well as on the color of the flowers, which becomes very pale.

How to water and feed

Both young and adult bushes should be watered systematically and abundantly, especially in a dry and hot period. You need to water the swimsuit with settled warm water, which should be heated by the sun, and this is a prerequisite. Experienced gardeners recommend placing a large container on the garden plot in a well-lit place, in which water will collect during the rain. After the rain has passed or the plant is watered, it is imperative to loosen the soil surface, while pulling out all the weeds.

During watering, the plant can be fed with a urea solution (for 10 liters of water, 1 tsp. Substance). It also reacts well to feeding with Agricola or Nitrofoska, while the solution should be prepared in the same way as the urea solution. You need to feed the flowers during the opening of the buds, as well as before they bloom.

How to propagate and transplant

This crop can be grown from seeds, but this method of propagation is not very popular among gardeners. As a rule, such a plant is propagated by dividing the curtain, it is carried out 1 time in 5 years in the last days of August or in the first days of September. Healthy and well-developed bushes are suitable for dividing, the age of which should be 5-6 years

Such bushes are distinguished by a large amount of vitality, which is very important for such a plant, since it does not tolerate transplantation well. These shrubs tend to tolerate transplant stress much more easily.

The parent bush is removed from the soil, residues of soil must be removed from its root system, after which it is thoroughly washed. After that, with a very sharp disinfected knife, the bush is cut into several parts, it should be noted that each division must have several rosette stems with roots. Places of cuts are subjected to processing with wood ash or a solution of potassium permanganate. Then, parts of the bush must be immediately planted in the holes, which must be prepared in advance, a distance of 0.3 to 0.4 m should be kept between them. they need to be removed. Young leaf plates will grow back after half a month.

Wintering

This culture is highly resistant to frost, therefore, it is not necessary to cover the bushes for the winter. In September or October, the leaf plates of the bush should die off, after which they are removed in such a way that only petioles, reaching 20-30 mm in length, rise above the surface of the site. These petioles will be able to provide protection to the bud located in the middle of the outlet. A peduncle will grow from this bud next year.

Diseases and pests

This plant has a very high resistance to diseases and pests. However, although it is rare, the plant still gets sick. Most often, it is improper care that causes fungal infections of the bushes, for example: smut or septoria. If the plants get sick, then as soon as this happens, it is necessary to cut off the affected parts of the bush or dig up the entire plants and destroy them, the surface of the soil and flowers must be sprayed with a fungicidal preparation

It is important to understand why the infection occurred and try to eliminate any deficiencies in care.
