In general, annual dahlias do not exist, just perennials are grown as an annual culture. Kush Georgin, which grows to a height of up to 80 cm, looks lush and greatest. Its inflorescences are achieved in the diameter 11 - 12 cm, and their total amount on one plant is 13 - 15 flowers. To grow beautiful bushes annual dahlias, plant seeds of several hybrid plants.

Landing in the garden of annual dahlias

Annual dahlias bloom much longer than perennial. The riot of paints begins with the arrival of the first summer month and fuses only on the eve of the first frosts. Unpretentious and completely undemanding to the composition of the soil and frequency of irrigation Flowers will get to grow rapidly at any garden plot. However, there are some features that, when landing annual dahlias, it is necessary to take into account at the preservation site.

The cultivation of annual dahlias begins with the fact that the fertile land is prepared in the fall, and in the spring, in late April, seeds seeds to seedlings. Immediately before omitting the seeds into the ground, the soil is calcined and treated with a solution of potassium mangarteed weak concentration for disinfection. At the bottom of the landing box first poured the layer of crystal sand and only then the earth.

The seeds of dahlias are laid out on the surface of the Earth in the landing box, sprinkled with a layer of sand and slightly tamper, after which they watered. Capacities with seeds must be in a warm place where there are no drafts. Optimum temperature for germination is 27 ⁰ S. The first sprouts will appear after 6 to 7 days. When a couple of first real leaves grow on them, seedlings are seeded in separate pots. In the last days of spring, when the weather is already steady warm, seedlings of young dahlias are transferred to a permanent place in open ground, observing the distance of 40 cm between individual instances.

Seedling is hardly adapted after the transplantation, so to minimize stress in new rashes, young annual dahlias are carefully transferred from the planting capacity in a predetermined well, and after shed a weakly concentrated solution of potassium mangartage. If the probability of night frosts is still preserved, the landing is certainly protected using geotextiles. The location of the site also affects the landing time: in the northern regions, the seedlings are transferred to the open ground in early June, and in the southern regions of Georgina are ready for "moving" to a permanent place since mid-May. In early June, seedlings grown in greenhouse conditions should bloom. Young dahlias watered very moderately, because excessive humidity can be ruined not yet a faster root system.

Sowing seed Annual Georgin in Open Soil

There is another option for the transformation of your site by annual dahlias. In May, immediately after the leaves of frosts, the seeds of colors are planted in an open ground. In August, abundant bloom begins when summer plants are already fighting. Annual dahlias prefer a slightly acidic or neutral soil. In order for flowers to quickly go into growth, the land fertilizes with an organic composition or feed the complex fertilizer. In the spring, it is impossible to fertilize landings by manure, since the roots of young plants are simply burned. The best plant will feel at a well-lit plot. In the shadow, the inflorescence of dahlias is immediately minor, and the bushes themselves bloom very reluctantly.

As young dahlias are growing up, they need to cut forward, eradicating weak slowly growing seedlings. Take into account one interesting feature: the higher the annual dahlia will grow, the later it will bloom.

What flower beds will look like, depends exclusively from you, or rather, on what kind of colors your choice falls.

How to deal with diseases and pests of the plant

Practice shows that dahlias practically do not hurt, and the invasion of pests happen rarely. Nevertheless, always carefully examine the bushes of their favorites - it will help in time to discover insect pests or notice the first symptoms of one or another disease and take action on time.

Here are some diseases sometimes occur in annual dahlias:

1. Gray rot. The disease is easy to identify the brown spots covering the leaves. After a while, dead plots are growing and the leafle is killed, and the rotting continues to spread throughout the above-ground part of the plant. If the microorganism penetrates into buds, they will also die. Most often, the appearance of gray rotes provoke excessively wet soil and too dense bustard.
2. Fusariosis. The disease attacks the roots of the plant and the "snack" dahlia at the base.
3. White rot. Pinged processes affect individual shoots, coloring the surface of their leaves and stem by brownish stains. The inflorescences are dying.

The radical methods of treating these diseases do not exist, so it is best to take preventive measures in advance: choose places for landing Georgina, taking into account all its features, follow the soil where flowers grow, was moistened to moderately. If the disease still failed to avoid, from the affected copy you need to get rid of immediately to protect the adjacent bushes.

From insects, the greatest troubles may be brought:

Tar can be easily noted with a naked eye, it is enough to inspect the inner side of the georgin sheet plates: there will be a sticky liquid or the so-called breast cancer. What to do in such a situation? If you are sure that the insects appeared quite recently and the infection did not have time to acquire a massive character, cut the sick bush and burn it. If the wave managed to attack several bushes, carry out chemical treatment of plants. Suitable "Aktellik" and "Phytoverm".
2. Slug. In the dahlias of these mollusks attract the juicy leaves. Pests are dissolving leaf plates of plants with longitudinal stripes and holes. To save the bush, the slugs are collected manually. Also on the soil where Georgin grows, you can pour a layer of superphosphate, wood sawdust or red pepper. These substances irritate the gentle tentacles of mollusks and thus protect flower bushes from voracious pests.
3. Bugs. Insects cause irreparable harm to plants on which they will settle. They drink juice and eat juicy leaves of Georgin. Damaged tissues cease to receive nutrients and in a short time the leaves are dying - yellow and fold.
