Milin - silhouetteMilin - developmental featuresA post for milinMilin - careMilin - applicationAdviceMilin comes from Asia and North America.Due to the original structure of flowers, it was formerly called a trumpet or a trumpet.
The American Millionaire clings to the supports with the help of adhesive roots, easily reaching a height of 10-12 meters. The multiflorous triticale creates few adherent roots and wraps the supports with the ends of the shoots.The name shows what is his greatest asset.
In both species, the flowers are funnel-shaped, 10 centimeters long and up to 5 centimeters in diameter, appearing from July to September. Depending on the variety, they are yellow, orange or scarlet.Milinus is also decorative with leaves and fruits.
Cultivars from the tagliabuana group obtained from the crossing of the American Millina with Multiflower, characterized by high frost resistance (in some varieties down to -15 ° C) and lush flowering are very popular.It is worth recommending, among others variation of 'Mme Galen'.
Milina is planted from autumn to spring in a warm, sheltered, sunny location where the substrate is well-drained and fertile. The south-west and south-east exhibitions are the best.
In the spring, the plants are fed with compost, and in the summer they are watered regularly. The substrate should be mulched to reduce evaporation.Shorten flower shoots after flowering (or in February, March) to a length of 3-4 stitches.Such a cut stimulates plants to set flowers.
Milin can be led on a pergola, support, trees, and also large shrubs.
Milinus blooms several years after planting, so at the beginning it is worth combining it with flowering annuals.
