Then it is not necessary to prepare seeds for several months and wait for 3-4 years until the plant leaves the floral arrows. The fallout of the bulbs or the strengthened seedlings of the bird processor is produced in August-September, and sowing seeds - in the spring.
Selection of places for landing
In order for the bird custody to actively bloody, the landing is produced on the smooth open areas of the Earth, where there is no water stagnation. The plant grows in any soil, but blooming and rapid rise in bulbs is observed in birdhouses, which grow in fertile soil with an admixture of sand.

If the winter is cold, it is better not to leave the bulbs in the soil. You can hide a parcel with a pavement, or dig bulbs and leave for winter in the cellar.
Reproduction
There are two methods of reproduction of perennial: seeds and bulbs. The dissipation of the bulbs is carried out with a conventional transplant. Seed method involves pre-sowing seed preparation by stratification. The processing period by cold lasts 3-4 months. Then the seeds are seeded into the open ground at the end of the autumn and are waiting for the first shoots of early spring. Or seed seeds into containers with soil in the first weeks of spring. When sprouts are empty by several leaves, they gradually teach to the open soil. 2-3 weeks they are put on fresh air daily, over time, increasing the duration of staying on the street. Then the seedlings are transplanted into the garden.
Pests and diseases

For the creation of rocaria and mountaineering, the varieties of perennials with lush foliage are suitable, for example, an umbrella bird processor. And for the landing in mixlers will rise higher plants, for example, a panythron tailed.
Ornitholaums with a height of 30-40 cm are suitable for the design of a green lawn or for landing near the garden tracks.
In a pair with "Bethlehem Stars", hyacinths, primroses, muscari, hosts, aquiegia, low-spirited irises look great. These flowers come to life in the spring much later than the bird charter, and therefore, increasing, will cover him with a talked foliage.
