Flowers in the garden can be propagated in several ways, incl. by sowing seeds, division and rooting of shoot cuttings.Propagation by sowing is the most labor-intensive and space-consuming.It can be done at home, in a greenhouse or in an inspectorate. Usually the plants are sown from February to April in containers with moist peat.
Throughout the seedling production period (at least several weeks), high temperature, good substrate and air humidity should be ensured. Flower seedlings should be hardened before moving outside By division (and using other vegetative methods), mainly cuttings of perennial flowers, e.g. dahlias, pelargoniums and fuchsia flowers, are propagated.
Where to buy and how to arrange flower seedlings?
Sometimes the home propagation of greenery is unprofitable. Then it is worth obtaining ready "material".Points where you can buy flower seedlings: online store, garden center, nurseries and florists.It is not recommended to buy in supermarkets and fairs - plants may be neglected and not suitable for growing in the garden. In the garden, you can compose a variety of garden flower seedlings. It's worth getting to know popular genres and arrangement rules in advance.
The basic rule is for the final size of the green: small plants are planted in the front, medium-sized ones in the middle, and tall plants in the back. If the flower bed or flowerbed is in the shape of a circle, tall plants are placed in the "inner" ring - write Ewa and Mariusz Chojnowscy in "How to Establish a Garden".The compositions should be selected so as to take into account the species that bloom in spring, summer and autumn. Specimens with a long flowering period are especially valuable.
To enrich the arrangement, as a supplement, you can plant ornamental plants of leaves and fruit.The colors of flowers are composed by avoiding the combination of colors adjacent to the rainbow.The most universal are plants blooming in white - they can basically be combined with all flower seedlings.
Annual flower seedlings - what is worth choosing?
The advantage of annual species is the great flexibility of the composition - the arrangement can be freely changed every season. Flower seedlings, as a rule, are transferred to a permanent place from the second half of April. With species sensitive to frost, it is better to wait until "Zimna Zośka".
The most beautiful low (up to approx. 30 cm high) annual (and biennial) plants include the seaside dragonfly, large-flowered purslane, Asian ranunculus and shiny sage. For medium and tall flowerbeds it is worth cultivating rose holly, snapper, marigold, Chinese aster, silvery celosia, bearded carnation, purple foxglove, fragrant lacquer, California poppy, garden helminths, hemlock, summer lily, damascus cumin , castor, and elegant tin. In dry places, the cultivation of cornflower, double feathered cosmos and field poppies will work well.
An important phytosanitary role is played by the leaf velvet. Its roots secrete compounds that destroy pathogenic soil nematodes - says ekiawogrodzie.plIn turn, the greater nasturtium is a trap for aphids. Pests in the first place attack this species en masse, so they can be easily eliminated.In the seasonal cycle, seedlings of balcony flowers are grown, such as verbena, plectrant, urticaria, petunias, surfin, bacopa, heliotropes and lanthanas. Increasingly, in container cultivation, you can also find flower seedlings: mexican flower, pilei, laurencia and gaura.
Perennial flower seedlings - stability in the garden.
Perennials give the garden greater stability and save time - the sowing and planting treatment does not have to be repeated every year. In addition, there is a greater variety of species on the market compared to "summer flowers".
The low species used as border plants and in the foreground of the flowerbed include spring love, feathered carnation, eastern sunflower, forget-me-not and stemless primrose.For medium and high rebates, it is recommended to choose seedlings flowers such as: aconite, azure dye, garden spotted eagle, forest parrot, Neo-Belgian aster, cord beetle, large-flowered sliver, garden delphinium, purple coneflower.
Suitable rockeries and ground cover plants include Buchanan's acena, long-tailed oakwort, mountain swamp, Caucasian geese, coastal lynx, garden shag, blackberry, scattered gypsophila, evergreen garment. The choice of green is of course much wider - the species presented above are just examples.
