Unpretentious annual: blooms all summer until late autumn
If I was asked what is the most interesting thing about a plant with a little-known name to Russian growers - garden bidense, then I would answer: this is a cultivated sequence. "Bidense" is translated exactly as a series. Looking ahead, I will say that it is very beautiful and very unpretentious (cultivated varieties have adopted undemanding nature from natural species).
On the one hand, in the United States, the ferulele species grows like a weed. Blocking even the space between the sidewalk tiles. On the other hand, now cute varieties have been bred that are alien to whims.
Biden is now gaining more and more popularity in landscape design. But what is there, in design: landscaping an ordinary dacha and even an open balcony of an ordinary Russian will become more fun and unusual if you use this flower.
By its very nature, biden is a sprawling shrub with long shoots. Of course, such a decorative sequence will look beautiful on the garden bed, enveloping the soil. But, as I think, the true beauty of a flower can be traced in its planting as an ampelous plant.
Before writing the basics about caring for the bidense, I note that the plant looks very beautiful in hanging baskets together with another beauty - lobelia. It's a very interesting contrast, don't you think?
- Biden grows fast and confident! By planting seeds for seedlings in April, you will see beautiful flowering in June.
- The only thing that stops the flowering of the decorative series is deep autumn frosts. If you know how long salvia blooms, then you can imagine the time of the "little" suns of bidense.
- Does not need additional feeding. But, if you deign, then the flower will respond to fertilization with double gratitude)
- The plant, for all its beauty, is surprisingly drought tolerant. This does not mean that the plant does not need moisture at all. But in the heat, it is enough to water the bidense without fanaticism only once a week. I don't know about you, but for me this prospect sounds very tempting!
If I have any gaps in the seedlings of annuals, then I will definitely choose Biden. Especially now, having seen enough of beautiful pictures on the Internet)
