Liatris in the photo looks very attractive
It so happens that caring for vegetables planted in a personal or garden plot takes a lot of time. There is practically no left for caring for flowers that sit down to decorate the site.
When planning what kind of flowers to plant in the spring, it is advisable to take this fact into account, choose flowering plants that are unpretentious, do not require special care and a lot of time, and, of course, please us with beautiful flowering in the summer months.
One of these can be recommended spikelet liatris, which is popularly called deer tongue. How the beautiful thickets of the liatris plant look in the photo can be seen on the Internet.
- It should be noted that the liatris thickets look just wonderful with a purple hue, they are able to decorate not only an ordinary flower garden, but also a site with an exquisite landscape design.
- In addition, the dried plants collected during flowering will warm you with the warmth of the sun and remind you of the blooming summer - Liatris is the best suited for drawing up dry bouquets.
The plant propagates easily, for this it is enough to divide the roots and the tubers of an adult plant formed on them by ordinary division. Separated rhizomes are planted to a depth of about 10 cm, with a distance of at least 30 cm. The plant is extremely resistant to drought and high summer temperatures. Of course, when planted in well-fertilized soil and when watering, the plants turn out to be more luxurious and delight with their bright flowering throughout the summer.
If it is not possible to get the rhizome of the plant, you can dilute it with seeds. Looking at the liatris in the photo, you can also notice that there are several different plant varieties. It will be interesting to purchase seeds of different varieties, white, lilac, purple, hybrid plants look especially attractive. The only drawback is that the flowering of liatris will not begin immediately - only plants of the third year of life and older bloom.
I saw him at the neighbors' dacha, but somehow I forgot to ask the name of the flower. Now I will plant it for sure in the spring. Moreover, he is unpretentious.
