Schizanthus in the photo and in the flower garden

Schizanthus in the photo (or otherwise it is also called schizanthus) immediately makes you want to plant this handsome man on your site.

Schizanthus flowers are very diverse in color, moreover, their petals are covered with specks and dots, stripes and a border, which makes the plants even more decorative.

Schizanthus belongs to the Solanaceae family, an annual. In the gardens of Russia, this plant can still be found not so often.

Schizanthus flowers resemble orchid flowers, abundant flowering begins in June and continues until the onset of autumn cold weather.

You can often see schizanthus in the photo, grown as a houseplant. If in the garden in the open ground it lives as an annual, then indoors it can be grown for a longer time. If it is protected from the cold, then it can bloom until October.

This plant is very demanding on the fertility of the soil substrate and on illumination. Therefore, in the garden, he needs to provide an open, sunny place with well-drained fertile and loose soil.

If you plant schizanthus bushes in a shady place on poor soil, the plants will stretch out and very few flowers will form on them.

During the period of active growth, schizanthus bushes should be fertilized regularly, but in small doses. They require moderate and even watering, it is completely undesirable to fill them.

But it is worth making sure that the soil mixture does not dry out strongly, as well as the air around is not too dry.

In a flower garden, this charming plant is best placed in the foreground to showcase its bizarre, vibrant flowers.
