Distributed in the nature of the southern regions of Primorye, the representative of the family of the Primrose vertebrate cly- cular lily-of-the-valley is a spectacular perennial with beautiful spicate inflorescences and a hard-to-pronounce official name of lysimchy, which, however, is rarely remembered by the ordinary gardener. This is an interesting plant - the hero of this publication, which will acquaint you with the rare in the garden decor culture, its requirements, preferences and rules of cultivation.

Meet: Lily-of-the-Valley Vertebral

This plant with a strong light pink rhizome, very similar to the rhizome of the lily of the valley, the signs of which are noted in the name. The tall straight stalk of the vertebrate is slightly pubescent, densely leafy and ends with a magnificent inflorescence-ear, consisting of small white flowers and having the form of an elegantly drooping cone. In height, the plant reaches 0.9-1.2 m, and the length of the inflorescence often exceeds 18-20 cm. Such characteristics contributed to the breeding of the species into culture, which happened a long time ago, more than a century ago. The most famous is the Ledi Jane variety, characterized by strong erect shoots (0.6-0.9 m tall) and very long flowering (15-20 days) starting from the second half of July. The effective appearance of the plant, atypical for other types of lysimchia, makes it possible to use it in shear compositions, and the ability to form stable compact islands, without creeping and not decaying, is widely used by landscape designers.

Verdynica lily of the valley: planting and care

Populating low-lying meadows and riverbanks, a wild-growing vertebra transmitted love to increased humidity and cultural species. Therefore, this factor must be taken into account when choosing a place for planting a plant in the garden. It does not matter the structure and fertility of the soil, the main requirement is only to ensure sufficient humidity of the site and its location is not in the bright sun. But nevertheless sites with a sliding passage of the sun, periodically illuminated and shaded, and also with not heavy ground loamy are preferable.

Verteinik lily of the valley easily tolerates stagnation of moisture, and even a close approach of groundwater will not do him any harm.

Features of reproduction

Vertebral lily of the valley easily reproduces by seeds, by division of rhizome, by cuttings, by root offspring. Vegetative methods are the most acceptable, since the plant quickly acclimates and blooms. In addition, it is much easier to breed a bush when transplanting than to sow seeds, often applying a seedling method, diving, growing and then planting it on a permanent bed. Culture can grow in one place for 10 years or more, but it is necessary to transplant it from time to time. This will help to avoid chopping inflorescences and ensure normal decorativeness. Flowering of a young plant, transplanted cuttings, division or root offspring, is expected for the next year.

Seed reproduction is rarely used. Seed or seedlings are sown on the flower beds in June. Possible and sowing for the winter, which is held in September. Blossomed lilies of the valley for the second or third year. Let's consider the peculiarities of each method of reproduction.

Fragment of the rhizome

Carry out this operation in the spring, before the plant grows into growth and leaves leaves, or in the beginning of autumn, when the flowering is over. The plant is excavated, a clean and sharp knife divides the rhizome into parts, each of which must have 3-5 renal buds. Slices are powdered with pounded charcoal or oiled with pharmacy greens. Plant the plants on the prepared place, maintaining the interval between them at 30-40 cm. Despite the unpretentiousness of the plant, the soil for planting is better to fertilize with high-quality organic (humus), adding 5-6 kg per 1 m ² .

Reproduction by root offspring

The ability of the rhizome in a culture such as the lily of the valley lobster, to creep with enviable speed, makes it possible to cut off offspring without affecting the uterine plant. Pieces of rhizome are processed with "Kornevin" or any other biostimulant and planted, deepening at the same level as they were located, being the offspring of the main root. It is better to breed a vertebra in this way in the spring. Autumn plantings are also possible, but they are carried out 3-4 weeks before the onset of stable frosts. During this time, the rootlet will have time to settle down and grow stronger, so that the winter burdens can subsequently be successfully transferred.

The main stages of care for planting

Of all the species of lysimchia, the lily-of-the-valley vertebral is the least expanding species. But you still have to control its cultivation, periodically suppressing its possible "attempts", unless it is planned. A good way to decorate the garden space is to grow a wormwood in containers. It will allow you to mobilely change the entourage of the garden and save time on caring activities. However, for the winter, container representatives should be arranged in a usual flowerbed or cool basement.

Do not forget about the special love of plants for abundant moisturizing. To dry up areas with plantings of a werewolf should not: even short-term droughts can significantly undermine the beauty of the plant. Watering should be regular and generous, welcome and sprinkling. Under winter, all the stems of the lily-of-the-valley vertebra are cut to the ground, the site is mulched with humus, which will protect the plant from frosts and feed it. Lizimahiya does not need a shelter for the winter, she is quite good at it.

Weeding and loosening is carried out as necessary, for feeding, the vertebrate is usually indifferent, but before flowering it is fed with a full complex fertilizer with microelements, which prolongs the flowering period and increases the exotic beauty of the plant.

These are the characteristics of the cultivation of this unpretentious culture, known as the Lilly-of-the-Valley verb. Care for her is also uncomplicated, but for all its simplicity, the plant gives the gardener the elegant and exquisite beauty of the inflorescences.
