Gaylardi Perennial, Description
The flowering plant, Gaylardi, has a somewhat similar names among themselves: Gailaria, Guyardia or Gaillardia from Latin Gaillárdia. This genus of plants received its unusual name in honor of the French judge Guyara, who was extremely fond of Botanic, was considered her patron and patron. Gaylardi Pumplings - a drought-resistant herbaceous plant related to the Astera family. His homeland is considered to be North and South America, there are currently about 24 species of this plant.
The inhabitants of America were first called this flower "Fiery Wheel" and compared its distribution over the Prairies with a fire, which captures more and more territories. And indeed, multiplying in the wild Summer, Gaylardia quickly spreads in the district.
In the homeland of the origin of this flower there is even a legend about his appearance. In the distant times, in one Indian tribe lived skillful weaver, manufacturing incredible beauty of carpets and blankets. For many years, people bought these wonderful products from him. But when the master was aged, he decided to finally seize the unique beauty of the blanket from the favorite ornaments of yellow, red, brown threads. When the elder died, he was buried, wrapped in this amazing bedspread. What was the surprise of tribesmen when the same flowers appeared in the spring on his grave: yellow, orange, red and brown shades. Willingly colors quickly broke through the territory of Prairies and won the love of the Indians. In honor of this master they called the "Indian blanket" flower. So, according to the parable, and Gaylardi appeared.
Gaylardi Pumplings - a small snoxidate bush, height from 25 to 70 cm, depending on the variety of perennial. Branched stem, richly covered with leaves. The sheet form resembles a blade or extended oval, eliminated by thin hairs.
The mainest property of this plant is colorful, bright, terry flowers. The size of the flower in diameter reaches an average of 10-15 cm; Collected in inflorescences - baskets with a convex bed. In the semi-world basket, the tongue flowers are located in 2-3 rows, and terry consist of born median flowers, a funnel-shaped form. It blooms abundantly, starting from the second half of June and to the most frosts.
Gaylardia flower is surprised by a variety of color gamut. Shades vary from light yellow, orange and purple to brick, brown and brown colors. If you look closely, you can see on one shrub of plants flowers of different color. As a rule, the edges of the petals are lighter than the middle of the inflorescence. Such a bright contrast makes the flower even more attractive. In addition, the colors retain their freshness for a long time and after cutting, allowing them to admire them by one day.
The plant is not demanding in care and perfectly carries out almost on any plot. These qualities, as well as its attractive form, contributed to the widespread use in flower growing.
Gaylared Perennial, landing
The cultivation of Gaylardia many years does not require much effort, but the highlights must be labeled.
Considering that this is a perennial plant light-cuply, it is necessary to plant it in the appropriate place: open, well-lit and not shaded.
Soil for planting is suitable any, preferably - light, aligned, nutritious and drained. It is better to avoid heavy soils with moisture stagnation and increased acidity.
The perennial multiplies in two ways in two ways: seeds and division of the mother bush.
- The easiest way to multiply Gaylardi Perennial - vegetative, that is, the division of the bush.
Choose a large, lush bush and gently separated part of the plant, trying to damage the root system as little as possible. This procedure is carried out either in early spring (approximately in April), or in the fall (after trimming colors, no later than September). This moment is important, as a condition that allows a new plant to be rooted either before the start of flowering (when planting in the spring), or before the onset of cold weather (when landing in the fall).
Before boarding, a bed is prepared accordingly: fertilize, make holes, abundantly moisturizing them with water. For fertilizer, humid, wood ash, compost and mineral fertilizers are introduced into the soil (on average 35 g per bucket of water), then the garden is drunk and cooked well. After planting the plants are also watered with water. Next year, the plant is already growing rapidly.
Considering that the bush of this perennial grows slowly, it is not necessary to divide it on a lot of small parts. In order to get a full-fledged bushes of Guylardia, a rather parent bush is divided into 3-4 parts.
- Reproduction seeds It occurs both spontaneously and artificially. The easiest way to grow Gaylardia many years of seeds - self-sowing. It is only necessary to leave the best, large and bright inflorescences to the late autumn, of which the seeds will fall into the ground and in the spring will go. If it is necessary to then streamline the flower, it will only be necessary to swing it and sear the searches received.
It is important to know that with seed reproduction, the color of new perennials will most often differ from the parental individual.
If it is necessary to prevent abundant self-sewn, which can lead to the spread of Gaylardia across the flowerba, you need to trim faded flowers immediately after flowering.
With the controlled reproduction of Gaylardia, seeds leave the best color pains to aging seeds. When the seed material completely matures, they are assembled into a special bag or a linen handbag, dry well to sow in the spring to bed. You can also assign a faded flower of gauze so that the seeds do not pour to the ground prematurely.
Seeds are sown in the prepared soil, shallow, almost on its surface. The depth of the seal should not be more than 0.5-1 cm, since the likelihood does not germinate seeds. Sometimes enough just slightly press their land, so as not to blow out the wind. The region is then abundantly moisturized with water and covered with a film. Thus, the creation of a greenhouse effect ensures the germination of seeds already 10-12 days after landing. Sowing is carried out in spring (approximately in April). At the end of summer, when shootings are growing and fixed, they can be switched, leaving the distance between bushes at least 20 cm. It is necessary in order for the adult bush to develop and branch out freely, without shading and infringement of neighboring. And although in the first year the plant forms a rosette of about 10-15 leaves, in the future it will turn into a lush and spreaded bush.
Gaylared's bloom will be only the next year, but to grow, without transplanting in one place, can be about 4-5 years.
It is important to remember that this long-term shrub does not like to oveurgement, and excess moisture negatively affects the growth and development of the plant.
For the reproduction of Gaylardia, a seaside method is also applied to the shooting of shoots. But, since these methods are very laborious, they are not widespread.

The loosening, mulching of the soil and the removal of weeds contribute to the enrichment of soil with oxygen and, accordingly, the optimal growth of the plant.
Watering
Excess moisture adversely affects the plant. The drought-resistant bush prefers a moderate watering (as the soil drying) and poorly tolerate moisture and stagnation. It was the convergence that can provoke various plant diseases. Especially important, timely watering during the transplantation of a young plant for its further rooting. An adult plant perfectly tolerates dry weather and long lack of moisture.
Transfer
After 4-5 years, the plant needs to be replant. As a rule, during this period (spring) and a bush is seed by reproducing it in a vegetative way, that is, by separation into several parts. All subsidiaries should be with full swords and rhizome, after which they are planted for a new place. While the plant takes place, you need to provide thorough care. Moderate watering, soil loosening, pruning the root skes after the end of flowering (in the first year), - these events will be able to extend the existence of many years of age for several years.
Border
To the perennial shrub did not break and not too disintegrated, especially in windy weather, it is necessary to ensure its border. Separate sticks (backups) or stable stems of neighboring plants are used as a support (for example, irises). You can also completely assign a buscher with twine, thus retaining its decorative appearance. The border must be carried out in advance, not allowing the strong growing of the shrub. This process is especially relevant for tall varieties of Gaylardia.
Preparation for winter

It is recommended to cover the shrubs with fallen leaves, peat or yelnik. In the event that in the winter the temperature is not too low, it is not necessary to strengthen the plant.
Fertilizer and subordinate
To ensure optimal growth and flowering, the perennial must be regularly feeding. It is best to bring mineral complex fertilizers, humid and compost during periods of maximum load for the plant. 3 such periods are distinguished: in the spring, when the plant actively throws out and tie the buds of future colors; In the summer, during active flowering and late autumn, after cutting all the flowers.
Diseases and pests
In most cases, all Gaylardia diseases are caused by improper departure, in particular, irregular irrigation regime. The moisture and stagnation of moisture contribute to the development of fungal diseases, such as mildew, gray rot, white rust. Proper temperate irrigation is the main preventive measure against these diseases. If the plant is already infected, you need to remove all the affected leaves (dried, discolored or covered with gray spots). Then handle the shrub of a weak solution of manganese or, in the case of mass infection of plants, special fungicidal preparations.
From the insects, the plant is most often affected by the plant and aphid. It is enough to handle a shrub of any insecticide, such as accuters and the problem with pests will be solved.
In order for the plant to bloom as long as possible, decorating the flowerbed by an abundance of bright inflorescences, you need to constantly cut the faded flowers from the shrub.
Spring lifeless and dry, at first glance, bushes quickly "come to life." It is better to immediately remove dry branches, cutting them with almost under the root, so as not to interfere with the appearance of young green shoots and did not spoil the appearance of the german shrub. Enough in a short time, the perennial abundantly seins up, it will throw off the buds and buoyo blooms.
