At cultivation of some cultivated flowers there is need to sow them towards the winter – only in this case they will amicably sprout and will blossom in the time. Many biannual and long-term flowers belong to such flowers about what it has to be specified on package of seeds.
Why to sow flowers towards the winter
Seeds of biannual flowers ascend when using stratification better – agrotechnical reception when some time they have to be at rest at the lowered temperature. At spring landing of it it is possible to reach the room of the humidified seeds in the fridge, and when landing towards the winter such effect is created naturally.
Unlike spring landing, such flowers grow more thickset, resistant to the lowered temperatures. Using autumn landing, it is possible to create beautiful ensemble from the unpretentious blossoming plants, and if desired and good leaving they will please the gardener for many years. Also in August it is necessary to find time for landings of bulbous spring flowers: crocuses, glade, muskar, hyacinths and tulips. This period is optimum for change of the expanded phloxes, astilba, doronikum, grassy peonies and other perennials.
How to plant flowers towards the winter
Before crops of seeds it is necessary to prepare bed: to dig over, carefully choosing roots of long-term weeds from the earth. Then it is necessary to fertilize the soil and properly to level it. It is possible to use improvised organic fertilizers: humus, ashes, peat and also full mineral fertilizer. Flowers seeds sow in grooves which need previously to be spilled water. Depth of their seal directly depends on the size, and very small seeds need just to be scattered on the surface of the soil, to condense with flat plate and to humidify from spray. It is possible to cover landings with nonwoven ukryvny fabric – in the fall it will well keep moisture in the soil and will protect seeds from death in the winter. Depending on the size of seeds also the frequency of their seeding differs: it is better to make secure against failure and to make more dense crops, in the spring if necessary it is possible to thin out them. Anyway you should not exclude possibility that the viability of seeds will appear not at height. The good viability at crops in August is shown by lupine, east poppy, coneflower, sinegolovnik, ekhinatseya. Primroses, edelweisses and other flowers with very small seeds it is better to put houses at the end of winter – the beginning of spring, applying stratification. For more effective use of advantages of autumn landing it is necessary to decide in advance on species of flowers which it would be desirable to see in garden, to collect as much as possible information on their good combinations and the correct agrotechnology to avoid disappointments.
