Sleep-grass and plants of the kind of shots
Cultivation of sleep-grass and other lumbago
Early in the spring, as soon as the snow comes down, shaggy buds of lumbago appear at the very ground. It dissolves in April-May, when there are still very few bright colors on the sites. Whoever at least once saw this plant, inevitably becomes his admirer. Beautiful in it all: and quite large bell-shaped or cup-shaped flowers in the aureole of the thick-dome pubescence, and numerous stamens, and cut-down also fluffy leaves gradually unfolding during flowering. No less decorative is the plant with fruit bearing (end of June - July), when white fluffy balls are formed on stretched stems, formed by fruits with elongated spines (sticks).
Rod lumbago (Pulsatilla) belongs to the family of buttercups, numbering about 30 species.
These are herbaceous perennials with stem roots. Basal leaves on long petioles, narrow cauline leaves - are collected in a whorl, forming a kind of wrapper. Flowers are single on numerous peduncles. Coloring corolla from whitish to dark purple; blue-violet tones predominate. Plant height 15-40 see
Mainly to moderate areas are strewn. The vast majority of species are represented in the flora of Russia. They are distributed in the European part, in the Caucasus and the Far East, in the mountains of Central Asia and Siberia.
In the suburbs and adjacent areas it is often possible to see the open chamber (P. patens), which has long been called a dream-grass among the people. Such species as P. pratensis, P. grandis, are encountered in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, others in the mountain-steppe zone and in the subalpine meadows - the austral chamber (P. aurea), the violet chamber (P. violacea ), a dubious chamber (P. ambigua), etc.
P. Halleri and the spring vestibule (P. vernalis) are listed in the Red Book. But many more common lumbago are so beautiful that they are threatened with destruction and need enhanced protection.
Some, for example, blackening (P. nigricans), meadow throat, open lumbago, common vulgaris (P. vulgaris), possess medicinal measures (contain anemonin alkaloid and glycosides), are widely used in homeopathy.
In the Main Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences, about 15 lumbago passed the introduction test. These plants do not tolerate transplantation, especially in adulthood, as a rule, they do not breed by dividing the bush. Sowing with freshly picked seeds is recommended. Shoots appear in the fall or next spring; seedlings bloom in the 2nd to 4th year. An indispensable condition for successful cultivation is well-drained soil (plants can not stand zamokaniya). They are frosty and drought tolerant; they do not require shelter for the winter. In particularly hot and dry summers, additional watering is useful (to prolong the growing season). In August, the leaves begin to gradually die out and in September, in most species, vegetation ends. It is recommended to cut off dead shoots so that bacterial diseases do not develop in the autumn-winter period.
In addition to the most common chamber of the open, for landscaping of sunny and semi-darkened areas, as well as rocky hills, it is possible to recommend to experienced amateurs such species as a large chamber with purple flowers, golden chamber, purple chamber,
