When it comes to the golden age of phlox

Breeders are working on breeding new varieties of Phlox paniculata already since the XIX century. The exact figure I could not find, despite the painstaking search. Plants of different varieties differ in color, height and flowering time ...

Flowering phlox depends on the particular grade. Binding to those oriented towards climate central Russia, but the timing is stored for each region:

• Group "very early flowering": Bloom in late June. A typical representative of society bustler - pale lilac with a white center "Amadeus."
• early please grower with a delay from the previous approximately 2 weeks: the border of June / July and the first decade of July.
• Grades related to "Medium early"Fragrant buds open in mid-July. This most Phlox paniculata, reigning on our sites. If you do not know what your "grandma" phlox, then most likely, it refers to the middle-early.
• average It blooms in late July / early August.
• srednepozdnie - mid-August
• late - end of August
• very late - only in September.

Application of knowledge in preparing floksariya in the country of purchase and the respective cultivars will help to create a flower bed continuous flowering, fragrant from late June to September inclusive. Sounds tempting, is not it?

landing

From where growing phlox, it depends directly on the length, the brightness and the profusion of fragrant flowering.

Be sure to place the seedling where there is no stagnant moisture. Other flower requirements for the soil - looseness and fertility.

FROM fertility understandably. There is a need organic and mineral substances - the flower grows and blooms beautifully, no - phlox shallow and capricious. About looseness: Be sure to dilute the mixture of sand and loam humus and other heavy soils. Otherwise the roots will have a hard time!

Flowering phlox on a bed subordinate the influence of the sun. It is noticed that in the shadow of inflorescences and smaller bush "looser". The plant, designed without compromise to shine on the site, it is inexpressive.

But there is one nuance: Varieties with dark colored petals better planted in partial shade, for example, near a tree or shrub loose. Because of the direct rays of the sun the petals fade quickly and become faded.

Care

Among the gardeners have a saying: "Plants like care. owner care away from them». And in this strange expression there is some truth. Phlox - a plant that can literally smother love.

enough:

• Pull weeds from the roots. When on the ground formed a crust, loosen it. Very carefully so as not to damage the roots of our phlox.
• Watering, when the summer heat combined with dry weather. Under adult, well developed bush poured a bucket of warm water. We need to try to moisten the earth only, not getting on the leaves.
• Make a dressing for the season 3-4. Or at least a couple. I use granular fertilizer. As a sign for schedule details!

Techniques that can help make the beautiful flowering phlox

You can try on one bush and see the result. To me such life hacking liking:

• How glad Florist, seeing a lot of spring shoots of phlox. But if the plant is not able to "pull" all the flower stalks, each received a fine. Therefore advised to leave only 5-7 stems, cut the rest. You can go on and on to another, more complex way: constantly "feed", fertilize the ground with humus or compost and regularly using mineral supplements.
• If you shoot enough, you can prischipnut top. Go new branches and bushes will be much more elaborate. But topping postpone bloom a week or two.
