Autumn time for dacnis - time of tense and fruitful activity. At this time, they have not only to collect ripening fruits, engage in cropping plants and the preparation of the soil by the next year, but also take care of what they will see in their flower beds in the spring. In this article, I would like to talk about the autumn landing of perennial colors.
Why squeeze flowers in autumn
At first glance it may seem to be engaged in such activities in the season of wading nature inexpediently, but it is not. Sowing cultures at this time of year has a number of advantages:
- Hardening plants. It is obvious that the sprouts made through the land of early spring, survived all winter frosts, and therefore such flowers will be healthy and resistant during the entire cycle of their existence. In addition to frosts, such cultures will be able to withstand various diseases that will be subject to weaker representatives.
- The plants tempered by cold quickly form strong roots capable of choosing moisture from the depths of the soil. This fact evidenced in favor of having to water the flower will have much less frequently.
- The land heated to the summer sun, it is much easier to jump off, rather than the soil frozen after winter. In addition, the autumn soil has long been moistened with rains for a long time, so watering after landing on bulbs or seeds is not at all.
- Perennial flowers for giving well to plant in the autumn also because such work will greatly facilitate all other activities in the area. In the spring, it is not necessary to spend an extra time in search of a place for flower beds and seed sowing, it will not be necessary to worry about frost and soil temperature. While the most healthy plants give their shoots, you can dedicate your days to other matters.
- Autumn landing is good and from aesthetic point of view. In the spring, instead of naked land on the garden, you can enjoy the variety of paints of flower petals.
The subtleties of growing perennial colors
In order to get optimal results in the form of healthy and strong plants, it is worth listening to some tips:
- In the precinct period, it is much better to plant perennial colors than to plant culture with a cycle in one year. At this time, plant seeds with a large life expectancy give pretty good shoots. And if you used to use purchased or critical seedlings, then autumn sowing will allow you to save on finance and time.
- There is one important moment: a large number of perennials blooms only on the 2nd or 3rd year, and some species even on the 5th. If you want to have a colorful bright flower leaf in the first spring, choose the seeds of the so-called express varieties. All the necessary information you can find on the packages, so carefully read the instructions before purchasing.
- For sowing, these crops are most suitable for the end of October, when the soil temperature is already low enough. At the same time, the soil is better prepared back in September: to accurate, add fertilizers and make preliminary furrows. After planting seeds in them, the depressions need to be well filled with a layer of land.
- With the onset of spring heat, after the snow is saved, cover the plot of suitable film size. This will protect the seeds from the encroachment of feathered, as well as from heavy rains that can blur the soil. When the first sprouts appear, the film must be removed.
- When the flower seedlings will release the first leaves, it needs to be dive, i.e. Place separate plants at the required distance from each other. Picking occurs as follows: Drop the flower, cut the tip of the rod root to stimulate its further development, transfer the sprout to the right place and insert into the ground to the level of the first sheets.
