Flower growers advise to do landings of bulbous plants, many annual, long-term flowers in the fall. At this time plants manage to take roots and well transfer winter frosts, but also, they grow strong and resistant to various diseases.
Autumn landing of bulbous
At the beginning of September plant melkolukovichny plants: crocuses, pushkiniya, Scylla and many others. In the middle and until the end of September - narcissuses. Then there comes the turn of tulips and hyacinths. The bulbous plants planted in the fall will please with beautiful blossoming in the spring.
One of the most important conditions when landing – in advance paved way. Dig over the earth on depth not less than 30 cm, introduce humus and complex mineral fertilizer with the insignificant content of nitrogen (about 50 g on square meter). Let's the prepared bed stand about 1-2 weeks, during this time the soil "will acquire" fertilizers and will a little sink.
Before landing of bulb carefully examine, remove patients and damaged. Put healthy planting stock in pink solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour. After that it is possible to start planting of flowers. Make grooves, spread out in them bulbs, powder with the earth and stamp. The additional shelter is not required.
To calculate landing depth simple, usually it is equal to three diameters of bulb, that is, the planting stock is larger, the more deeply it it is necessary to sit down.
Autumn landing of perennials
Experts advise to plant bushes of peonies, astilb, host, daylilies and many other plants towards the winter. It is reasonable to carry out change and division of perennials to the same time. Prior to the beginning of cold weather the flowers will manage to take roots, and in the spring with approach of warm days will at once go to growth. At the end of August — the beginning of September prepare for them the place and landing hole. Put in it humus and a little complex fertilizer. In week it is possible to plant saplings and allotments. Put sapling vertically, straighten backs, fill up hole with soil and zamulchiruyta perennials layer of compost about 3 cm thick, it will help to prevent destruction by frost of flowers. Towards the winter plant also some perennials which are grown up from seeds and much of them need landing just before the onset of cold weather as they need cold stratification. The lupine, poppy east, akvilegiya, erigeron, gipsofila, primrose and many other long-term flowers are suitable for autumn landings. Crops of seeds is made on the frozen slightly soil. They need to be spread out on surface, then to powder with soil, to stamp and fill up with snow.
The perennials planted by seeds will begin to blossom for the second year after landing, will grow stronger and healthy.
Landing of annual plants
This way of planting of flowers will reduce your time and forces by cultivation of seedling in the spring. However it is necessary to consider that towards the winter it is necessary to plant only cold-resistant plants. It can be Drummond's phlox, kosmeya, the lion's pharynx, calendula, marigold, carnation Chinese, cornflower, iberis and many other plants. Dig over bed under landing of annual plants in September, and sow seeds since October and prior to the beginning of November. In the prepared grooves spread out seeds, than they are larger, landing has to be that more deeply. Fill up them with layer of fertile soil and slightly stamp. In the spring when the first present sheet appears, thin out sprouts, further flowers need normal leaving: weeding, loosening, watering and fertilizing by complex fertilizers 2-3 times during the season.
