Varietyand Veronica Coloste
Currently, several varieties of Veronica of Cossel, differing in coloring flowers and other morphological features are derived by breeders. Consider the most famous varieties.
- Veronica Colossed "Rotfux".
The lowest variety, reaches a height of no more than 45 cm. Cups lush, compact. Stems strong, straight, densely humble brilliant green leaves. Veronica blooms in the middle of summer and blooms about 1-1.5 months. Flowers in perennials are small, collected in cooled inflorescences, bright pink color. Culture prefers to solar sites, with loose and drained soil. The variety is widely used in landscape design.

Strong straight shoots of low-speed (30-50 cm) perennials ends with accommodated inflorescences. A characteristic feature of the variety is numerous snow-white flowers, tightly assembled in the spike. Leaves oblong shape, green. Flowers from the second half of June to the beginning of August. The variety of sun-duct, is not demanding to fertility.
- Veronica is a hollow blue.
Small durable stalks reach a height of about 60 cm. The grade drought-resistant and unpretentious. Blue flowers are assembled in dense upshine inflorescences. Bulk abundant, begins in June and lasts 30-40 days. Landscape design uses as single or group landings.

The grade forms single or few strong shoots. Inflorescence is formed by white flowers. Plant height 45-60 cm. Egg-shaped foliage, green color. Long flowering (up to 1.5 months), begins in the second half of June. It grows well at sunny areas and drained soils.
Veronika Coloste's reproduction
Rail a perennial herbaceous plant, Veronica is a hollow, in its site it is possible to easily know the main methods of its reproduction.
The plant breeds seeds, cuttings and dividing bush. If familiar flower flows grow this spectacular perennial, it is easy to propagate any convenient way and fall on its plot. If there is no such possibility, you can buy seeds or seedlings of plants in specialized stores or nurseries.
Seed variation of Veronica Coloste
- Veronika Colossed gives a certain self-sowing, so it is better to collect seeds organized, excluding uncontrolled crops.
- In order not to miss the seed ripe phase, it is necessary immediately after flowering to track the formation and aging of fruit boxes.
- After the boxes are wishes and dried, they are broken and a little suck in a dry, dark place.
- Dry boxes are cooled, the seeds are cleaned and stored in paper bag. Naturally, the quality storage of the seed material involves the absence of moisture and light.
- Plants grown from seeds bloom not immediately, but at least for the second year after sowing.
- Veronica's reproduction of seeds does not guarantee the preservation of the varietal signs of parental individuals.
Vegetative breeding methods Veronikm Coloste
Flowers practice Veronica reproduction with cuttings or simply division of a bush plant. With such methods of reproduction, all varieties are saved.
- The division of the bush is the most common way of reproduction, is especially successful when transplanting and rejuvenating the perennial, which is carried out every 5-6 years. If it is necessary to separate part of the plant, without waiting for several years, you can do it before. The division procedure is carried out in spring (before the appearance of foliage) or in the fall (after flowering). For this, first, cut off all overhead shoots, then the plant is digging and divided into parts. Each viable part should have at least three roasting escapes. If the decens are weak, it is better to pre-roof them in the soil substrate, with the addition of peat and sand, and only after that plant in open ground. It is not difficult to dig a plant, taking into account the surface rooting roots. In addition, this method of reproduction provides faster survival and adaptation of the plant in a new place.
- For reproduction with cuttings, the upheat young shoots (10 cm long) are cut (10 cm long), they cut off their top and omit them into the water. Prepared cuttings for rooting are placed in a loose substrate from perlite and peat with sand. After successful rooting, the cuttings are planted into the open ground. It is possible to shine up the bushes of Veronica from spring to early autumn. From the second half of the fall, it is no longer worth to harvest the cuttings, as they will not have time to root to winter. In summer, landed cuttings need to pay more attention: the shoots are signed (you can cover them with a film), provide regular watering, ventilation and gradual adaptation to the light.
Growing Veronica Coloshoy
Veronica is a busty absolutely unpretentious plant, easily multiplies and quickly grows on the plot. The main condition for the successful cultivation of perennials is the right choice of space for landing and performing certain agrotechnical requirements.
- When choosing a place for landing, taking into account the light-mindedness of culture, choose an open and sunny terrain. Lightweight is also possible.
- Veronica can grow almost any soil, preferably light and loose loam. One of the main conditions is a good soil drainage and lack of moisture stagnation on the site. As a drainage, a conventional crushed stone can be used. The soil with neutral or weakly acid reaction is the optimal option for the plant.
- Drought-resistant plant, Veronica, better tolerates a short drought, rather than excessive humidity. Excess or permanent moisture stagnation can be destroyed for culture.
- Starty and life-in-law is stable even to pullouts. If you come on the bushes of Veronica, they quickly restore and raise leaves.
Seed Sowing Veronica Coloste
- Veronica seeds in open soil are sown in the second half of autumn, when the soil is not too cold and no frost has come. The depth of seed seeds into the grooves or pits is small, about 5 mm. The approximate interval between seeds is 30 cm. As it grows, the next year, the seedlings are seeded, leaving the larger interval (50 cm).
- You can sow seeds of Veronica and early spring in the boxes, on seedlings. At the same time, preliminary stratification (hardening) of seed material will be required. For this, seeds, lay out on a wet soil (peat and soil), sprinkle the ground and is covered with a film with holes. The container is placed in a cold place (refrigerator, cellar) for 3 weeks. After low temperatures, the container with seeds are placed in a warm and bright place. After 2 weeks, the first seedlings appear. Care for seedlings Normal: watering, light, ventilation and heat (about 15 0WITH).
- In any case, the seedlings will bloom only for the second year of life.
Planting Veronica Coloste
- Sutting off the seedlings of Veronica to open ground, leave the distance between the plants of about 50 cm, given the future growth and branching of bushes.
- Planting seedlings on flowerbed is carried out in spring in advanced soil (fertilizer, drainage, loosening).
- The wells or groove dig up shallow, in terms of the root system of seedlings.
- The landing site is spilled by water and plant plants into the ground.
Care of Veronica Colosity: Features and Recommendations
Not a capricious Veronica is convenient because it requires minimal care and attention, practically does not get sick and does not need feeding and winter shelter.
- Watering is carried out as needed, without moisture. Especially important is the moisturizing of the soil before the flowering period and at the stage of the extension of the seedlings. The rest of the time watering moderate, not frequent. Veronica perfectly tolerate short-term drought.

- Veronica is a hollow resistant to the effects of diseases and pests. Only with rainy weather or excessive moisture, may be infected with pulse dew, spotty or rust. If characteristic signs (spots, raid) appeared on the leaves, all the plant is treated with a fungicidal agent (for example, Fundazole). If the plant appeared on the plant - the perennial insecticidal agent should be processed (Duchar, Aktara).
- With enough fertile soil, in additional feeders, the culture does not need. With poor soils, it is better to make mineral and organic fertilizers.
- If the varieties of Veronica are spoalous enough tall, it is necessary to encourage the plant to the support.
- After flowering, the above-ground part is cut to appear new green shoots with foliage. Such a reception can be preserved an attractive decorative view of the bush to the autumn itself. Before wintering, the bustice is cut off again, leaving 3-5 cm. To prevent plant infection with pathogens, it is also necessary to constantly cut off the blurred inflorescences.
- Every 5 years need to rejuvenate the Veronica bush, separating it into several parts. Delleki will be able to actively develop and grow "with a new force."
- For the winter, the plant does not need to cover anything, it perfectly tolerates low temperatures, and even harsh Russian winters.
