Over the past several years, Heuher's cranes have changed a lot. And that's literally in every way. Contemporary varieties are much more resistant, he althier and thrive.The leaves of the new varieties are characterized by a more interesting color and form.From April to September, perennials are decorated with tall inflorescences containing tiny white, pink or purple flowers.
The pink flowering inflorescences can be dried. Their color is perfectly preserved. The delicate shape of the cranberry optically loosens the compositions of dried plants.
There are so many cranes today that it is difficult to clearly indicate the most beautiful one. The task is also not made easier by the fact that the cranberry does not form a consistent genus in terms of developmental features and application.Thanks to such a large selection of different-colored varieties, the cranberry facilitates the creation of colorful plant compositions.

It is worth using various varieties of cranberry on the rabat - their color diversity will give character to the planting (Photo: Fotolia.com) |
Strongly growing varieties form clumps of up to 45 centimeters in diameter and are perfect for both cover applications, e.g. for decorating woody plants, and for enveloping, e.g. for planting the edges of a bed. Smaller varieties like 'Regina' can be grown in rock gardens or in containers.Note, red-leaved varieties should be exposed in sunny places; turn green in low light.
Cranberries with red-brown leaves create wonderful color accents on classic flower beds. If there are shades of purple in the color of their leaves, they can be combined with purple or pink flowers. cranberries with yellow and orange leaves feel best in semi-shaded places (similar to green varieties). When they grow in the sun, spots appear on the leaves.
These plants grow best in a fertile, slightly moist soil. In spring, it is worth supplementing the crops with a bit of compost, which will accelerate the development and flowering of perennialsIt is also a great opportunity to bury the root rhizomes that rise over time.Cranes grow lush thanks to underground stolons.
Plants are propagated by dividing the clump and rejuvenating it at the same time. We make the division every 3-4 years. They are planted at a distance of 30 x 30 cm. Empty spaces are quickly overgrown with young growths.Everyone will probably be happy to hear that the cranberries, despite their appetizing appearance, are being avoided by snails.
