The inflorescences composed of single flowers gathered in spikes have the greatest ornamental value.The flowers of the bead can be red, orange, yellow, pink or white, depending on the variety.The flowering of the plant lasts from June to October.
The Indian Paciorecznik has thickened rhizomes that resemble tubers. The leaves are large, oblong to oval, and have a green or brown color.Tall varieties reach a height of 100-150 cm, and short varieties less than 50 cm.
Indian Paciorecznik is a marsh plant, so it should be grown in moist, fertile soil in full sun positions.It is worth remembering that even a small shade causes the flowering to be weaker.
Rhizomes can be planted in the open air from mid-May. Plants intended for container cultivation are planted in the flower soil mixed with sand in the spring.
Water the plants daily from the beginning of their spring growth and feed them once a week with liquid fertilizer.As the plants grow, we increase the amount of water.Rhizomes should be moved to the quarters before the first frosts and stored until March in pots with sand. In winter, we water it sporadically.
Low varieties are perfect for balconies and terraces, and tall varieties are perfect for a bed with grass.
Low-growing potted varieties are transplanted every year to fresh flower soil with the addition of compost.
