In the desert family there are few species suitable for cultivation in gardens and parks. One of them is the narrow-leaved desert.In June, beautiful canary-yellow flowers bloom on the plants.Under natural conditions, the desert mite occurs in the steppes of central Asia.
Narrow-leaved desert - developmental features
Pustynniki reach a height of up to 100 cm. Flower ears are embedded on naked, oval (cross-section) stems.Inflorescences can be up to 40 cm long. The flowers are in the form of bells and are densely collected.Fleshy roots grow in a star-like shape (resembling a starfish).
Stand for the desert worker
Pustynnik prefers well-drained, fertile, sandy soil. It should be cultivated in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind.
Planting a desert house
The planting time is between October and November. The tubers should be planted flat in the wells, making sure that the shoots are not more than 15 cm deep (from the ground). Tubers should be planted carefully as they are very fragile and brittle.
Narrow-leaved desert - maintenance
The cultivation of deserters is also fed with compost under the tubers. To protect the emerging plants from late frosts, we should cover the plants with fleece or pots.In late autumn, it is worth covering desertniks with compost.
Narrow-leaved desert - application
Pustynniki can be cultivated individually or in groups.Peonies and poppies are proven companion plants. Inflorescences look nice against a dark background.
Tip
