autumn planting pros and go over dates

Why do I recommend to plant tulips in the fall rather than the spring? To clearly explain it to do small Botanical excursion into nature.

Under natural conditions, wild tulips show their bright colors at once after the snow. But the splendor lasts, alas, did not last long: soon the plant withers. But it begins an active process of the accumulation of nutrients and energy for abundant blooms next spring

. When this natural cooling - stimulant such a process. Simply put, if the bulbs will remain without a long exposure to cold in the winter, they do not bloom or bloom will be very poor. Our task - to try to reproduce the natural conditions of tulips growing on a bed in his garden.

If you plant tulips in the spring, the cold will "handle" the onion very long. Flowering is not abundant, and will come much later than in the autumn planting.

Now to timing. They depend on the weather conditions in your area, so different dates. The main task - to plant the bulbs of tulips is not too early to plant have not had time to grow before the onset of freezing temperatures. Too late planting is fraught with late flowering.

According to the botanical features of tulips, autumn planting bulbs is best done when the depth of the ground temperature is about 10 ° C. Of course, not all of us can measure it, and a reluctance to tinker. you can use averaged timing of planting roses in the autumn of 2018: In central Russia - mid-September, in the southern regions (for example, the Kuban and the Caucasus) - mid-October.

Tulips - beautiful bulbous perennials-primroses. They bloom in our garden in early spring. They can be planted in rows (e.g., for registration curb) or flocks-islets. You can create an original composition of tulips, show imagination and bring your taste.

Pleasant chores: gardening

the placement of tulips in the garden requirements:

• necessarily sunny placeWhere early snow melts. Light - the main activator of growth and flowering. The sun will dry the soil. In the shadow of tulips bloom reluctantly and not as bright as we would like.
• Do tulips quite large root system, so groundwater should be less than 50 cm.
• Choose a bed, on which the spring is not stagnant water from the melting snow. Otherwise there is a risk that valuable bulbs zagniyut. Well, if the flower garden is located on a hill!
• friable the soil. If the ground is firm, add it in the sand and digging.

These recommendations - the key to a lush spring flowering tulips. More advice: Add a little wood ash. At firstIt makes the soil liming, reducing acidity. A tulip oh how not like acidic soil! SecondlyIt is a valuable organic fertilizer with plenty of minerals, necessary for the successful growth of the flowers and of course, flowering.

Try to plant the bulbs healthy. Planting material, on which there are signs of rot, ruthlessly culling - they are not only likely to die themselves, but also can infect the neighbors. For the prevention of fungal disease hold them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes.

Farmed varietal tulips? Try not to confuse, "where someone."
