Indian lilac - garden decorations all year round

What gardener does not dream of having his garden evergreen and beautiful all year round. Indian lilac will be a real decoration for any garden, because the beauty of the bush will delight the eye for all 12 months. Despite the name, the homeland of this plant is Korea and China, although very often it is also called Lagestermia lilac or Indian lagerstermia.

In the natural environment, the plant is represented by shrubs and grows in the tropics. But domestic amateur gardeners managed to develop varieties of Indian lilacs, which take root in our country. Indian lilacs come in a variety of sizes, with different leaf shapes, colors and flowers. Indian lilac begins to bloom in early summer, when the longest days come.

For her to take root in the garden in our regions, it is important to plant the plant in the correct soil. This should be a mixture of clay soil with sand and part of the dive ground. All parts of the soil are taken in equal proportions.

In view of the fact that the plant retains foliage throughout the year, it must be dug up and kept in cool rooms for the winter. During the dormant period, lagestermia does not need light in large quantities, but during the growing season for lilacs, light and heat are very important, therefore, you should choose a well-lit place in the garden where sunlight will fall on the shrub all day.

Watering Indian lilacs in the summer is necessary often so that the soil is always moist. during the dormant period, the shrub is watered from time to time. Since spring, along with water, Indian lilacs must be fed every 2 weeks; since September, the plant is not fed.
