Also very vital and durable areshrubsWeigela, the shoots of which grow to a height of about 3 m. There are varieties with pink or red flowers, as well as decorative leaves with a color reddish brown('Purpurea') orcream-edged('Nana Variegata'). Allshrubs floweringflower buds at the beginning of summer in the fall of the previous year, therefore spring pruning should be limited to necessary cases, i.e. removing the oldest, poorly flowering shoots . Cuts conservativeare carried out after flowering in June. The faded branches above the lower side shoots are then removed. The shoots that have grown at the base of the bush are shortened by half.
Magnolia is always wanted
Magnolia Siebolda Magnolia sieboldii stands out with its exceptional beauty among shrubs blooming in early summer. The shrub comes from Japan, where it grows in peat bogs, therefore - likerhododendrons- it needs evenly and constantly moist, humus-rich soil with acidic pH. It should grow in partial shade, in a sheltered and quiet position, preferably above water. In the case of this shrub, you should refrain from any cutting of shoots.
Shrubs that bloom in summer, such as hibiscus ( hibiscus ) Hibiscus syriacus, develop flowers in late June. Almost all species develop flower buds on this year's new shoots and are characterized by a very long flowering period.For the mussel, puzyrnik, mallow, perowski and several other species, even bad soil is not a problem. On the contrary - shrubs growing insandy soilanddry , almost completely devoid of nutrients, are more prone to lush flowering and, in addition, more resistant to freezing.
Shrub care in the garden
Spring cutting shootsis very beneficial for these plants as it promotes more lush flowering. It consists in shortening all flower shoots from last year to fragments withone ,two budsDon't be fear the effects of such a drastic stripping of the bush, because we will quickly notice that the shoot growths are exceptionally long, and the inflorescences are very numerous ( puzyrnik ) or unusually impressive (budleja). Spring cutting of the shoots will not be successful only for the garden hydrangea.Its flower buds, as well as ushrubs floweringin early summer, form already in autumn, so removing some of the hydrangea shoots will result in less vigorous flowering of the plant during the season summer.
