Expansive self-seeders
Someperennials floweringare not tame as we would like. Orlikiand flames without problemsspread by themselvesThe daughter plants growing from seeds usually have flowers with the colors of the specieswildand inextreme casesthey can evendisplace formscultivating , because they are characterized by much greater vitality. To avoid theirexpansion , try to cut down allpollinated wilting flowers ,before will ripen seeds
However, in the case of other wild perennialsself-seedingis a desirable phenomenon. Short-lived plants such as digitalis,menstruationandmekonops Welshdiscounts for many years,at least individual specimenswill die after two years.
Perennials are much more troublesomeperennials stolons , such astojeśćpostedLysimachia nummularia.Their development should be systematically limited by the division and removal ofparts plantsGood results are also achieved by combining expansive species with plants that are more durable and not easy overcome, such asgeraniumsandalive
A barrier for plants creating troublesome root shoots
Rhus typhina vinegar sumac is one of the trees with the most beautiful autumn colors, but its roots can make life difficult for us.Cutting out regrowthhas the opposite effect, causing more and more regrowths to appear. Therefore, the vinegar tree should always be planted in an enclosure-dam forroots
It is a strip of strong plastic 2 mm thick and about 70 cm high,connected metal rail in the hoop, dug vertically into the ground. Such a dam will keep the roots of otherexpansive plantsin check, e.g.bamboo or sea buckthorn. the rim diameter must not be too small so that the plants do not suffer fromreason drought
Problem trees and shrubs
Trees and shrubs can also be troublesome. Somespecies make up runners , others spread so numerously (e.g. maple) that every spring in flowerbeds,lots of young plants , which should be weeded as carefully as weeds. Seedlingsgrowing up inside hedgeunnoticed ininitial monthsdevelop very strongly and are difficult to remove after two years. Therefore, each time you cut a hedge, you should searchsearchandpluck
Extraordinary vitality ischaracteristic feature bamboostolon species can within a few yearsmaster a large part of the garden In addition, their shallow rhizomes are very hard. So you should give upbamboos expansive,such as Fargesia, or plant them in special covers.
