    My first hazel grouse did not bloom for six years. But now I have already learned to "manage" their flowering.
    I dig up the bulbs in the summer, when the aerial part turns yellow. I air for a week in a place protected from the sun. Then I put it in a hot, dry place - on the top shelf in the kitchen (temperature - + 27 ... + 35 degrees). It is important that during the storage period the bulbs shrink in size by 2-3 times (this is how the future flower bud is laid).
    I plant hazel grouse at the end of August so that they take root before the onset of winter cold. I choose a place for landing higher, warm, with light partial shade. Bulb planting depth is three times the height of the bulb itself. I add phosphorus-potassium fertilizer (1 tsp) to the bottom of the hole and cover it with a layer of sand so that the bulb does not rot. In the spring, I feed nitrogen on seedlings.

    Recently, climbing into the attic, where I always keep bulbous plants after digging, I discovered that the hazel grouses have turned into spiders. Plant urgently!
    The imperial hazel grouse is the very first to take root even in the air and in the complete absence of humidity - it is dry and hot in the attic. I have three varieties in my collection, but only one bloomed in the spring.

    Therefore, when buying, I advise you to pay attention to the size of the bulb, because flowering will depend on this. To be guaranteed to see it next year, the diameter of the bulb must be at least 6-7 cm (preferably 8-10). Smaller specimens will not form flowers - they still need to ripen. And you shouldn't buy planting material that has ulcers, cracks, signs of mold or decay.
    Important nuances
    The imperial hazel grouse is planted only in autumn, optimally from the second half of August to the end of September, so that the plants have time to take root before the onset of frost.
    For each bulb, I dig a hole 30 × 30 cm in size.At the bottom I pour sand with a layer of 3-5 cm - drainage, since the hazel grouse does not tolerate stagnant water.

    I prepare a nutrient mixture from humus or compost, garden soil, sand 2: 3: 1) and a handful of wood ash (for additional feeding and soil deoxidation). When I was digging out hazel grouses at the beginning of summer, I accidentally “crumbled” one of the bulbs with a shovel. Just the one that bloomed well. The experts on bulbous plants I knew told me to throw it away - they say, there will be no sense anyway, but my hand did not rise. Over the summer, the "sufferer" healed and also let in at the time of planting, at least small, but roots - for sure she will live on.

    In my flower garden grow less tall than the imperial, but very cute grouse brothers: chess and Mikhailovsky.

    The bushes of the first species reach a height of up to 40 cm, on each peduncle 1-3 bell of lilac-purple color with a characteristic pattern of cells bloom, the leaves are narrow and long, the bulbs are small. Chess players bloom in May. I take care of them, as well as other bulbs: periodically feed with mineral fertilizers, water in a drought, gently loosen the soil. After flowering, the foliage dries up, and the plant goes to rest until next spring.
    Fritillaria Mikhailovsky blooms earlier in April. In height it is even lower than chess (up to 25 cm), the leaves are similar to tulip leaves, but smaller, a pair of yellow bells with a purple border open on the stem. Kids grow up to avoid jamming on high beds. In spring, I sprinkle a well-rotted compost under the bushes.

    In any case, you can not grow grouse on the site. The bulbs, planted in the autumn, did not shoot for two consecutive years. What could be the cause of failure?

      The hazel grouses are most vulnerable compared to other plants of this family. The slightest damage to juicy, unprotected scales during excavation can lead to their death. The same result is the drying of bulbs or the appearance of mold on them during summer storage.

      Often, flower growers make mistakes during planting. It is better to do this no later than mid-October, so that the low temperature and humidity of the soil, observed at a later time, do not provoke the decay of the bulbs. For the same reason, it is very important that there is no water stagnation at the site, it is better to choose elevations with a low groundwater level.

    I like the hazel hens of the emperor for his unpretentiousness. In the second half of September, in loose soil I plant bulbs (to a depth of 4-5 of their diameters). The distance between the plants is about 20 cm from each other.

    The site I choose is sunny, high so that groundwater does not accumulate in the ground and the bulbs do not rot. You can artificially raise the flower bed, pouring a little river sand or earth. To small bulbs grow well and develop, I plant them in clean compost. Waiting for flowering will have two, or even three years. But it's worth it!

    Tell me, do you need to dig out the royal hazel groves after flowering? Does the hazel grouse refer to them with the coloring of flowers in the form of a chessboard? What are the hazel bulbs afraid of and how to store them? When is it better to plant in a flower garden?

      The genus of hazel grouses includes 179 species. Peduncles of the hazel grouse of the imperial reach a height of 1,5 m, and drooping yellow or orange flowers are like bells. Inflorescence is decorated on top of a bundle of narrow green leaves.

      Every year you need to dig out large bulbs of the hazel grouse of the imperial, small bulbs are enough to dig out once in 2 year. Do this in the middle - the end of June, when the foliage begins to turn yellow. Dry bulbs are removed from the bulbs, washed in a solution of potassium permanganate and dried. Store the excavated bulbs in a dark, dry place at a temperature of no more than 30 ° C. At the end of August on the bulbs formed roots and a new sprout, at this time it's time to plant them. Before planting, the roots should be cut off, but if you are too late for planting, they need to be retained. Plant hazelnut bulbs of the imperial at the end of summer to a depth of 20-25 see the land mulched with peat. In the snow-less winters, they are additionally covered with straw or lapnik.

      On the petals of the hazel-grouse flower, alternate dark and light spots of a clear geometric pattern. There are two variants of coloring - brown-maroon and white-yellow. The height of peduncles 10-35 cm, on each 1-2 flower appears. The bulbs are small, with a diameter of 2-6 cm, oblong, slightly flattened. Every year, they are not necessary to dig out, but they are expanding rapidly, they begin to press each other, so they dig out and plant them once in 3-4. Do this in August, with the bulbs preferably planted immediately after digging to a depth of 7-15 cm, depending on their size. If necessary, they can be stored in a cool place, in moist sand, but not for long. This species is one of the most unpretentious.

    Spring flowers are adorable, but in most are small in height.
    Only the imperial hazel grouses proudly raise a whole bouquet of bells-flowers high above the flower carpet, crowned with a crown of green leaves. I gathered in my garden an impressive collection of these handsome men: with red, orange, yellow, cream flowers.
    Like most spring flowers, hazel grouses are bulbous plants. Only their bulbs are huge, the size of a male fist and weighing up to 0,5 kg. In the spring of them, the peduncle develops very quickly. After flowering, when the flower stalk dries, I dig the bulbs, dry them and plant them again in the ground in early September, simultaneously with tulips. And in general, the care for hazel grouse is the same as for tulips: they do not like fresh organic matter, stagnation of water, they can suffer from rot.
    In most varieties of grouse, the bulb is divided annually into 2 children, so it is easy to multiply the variety you like. Some varieties still form a small baby. True, a plant grown from a flower will blossom only through 3-4 years.

    The only drawback of hazel grouse is the smell. Some of them have an aroma, frankly, for an amateur. And the bulbs secrete substances that inhibit other flowers. Therefore, the rest of the floral "retinue" is best placed at a respectful distance from the "emperor".

    The large, stately grouse imperial is a notable plant in your garden. To make it look decent, plant it in a place protected from the wind.
    And that the stem does not break, tie it to the support, for example, to small pegs or iron props, which are sold in the garden center.

    This year, on my hazel grouses, someone severely tore off the leaves and a few buds. What is this pest and how to deal with it?

      What you describe looks like damage to the onion cracker. These are leaf beetles, the larvae of which inflict heavy damage, eating leaves, buds and even the stems of plants of the lily family, adult beetles have a bright red body and a black head. They are the first to appear on crops in the spring, leaving the wintering grounds. If you do not take any protective measures, then from May to June will have to deal with the larvae, which are very voracious and can only leave hemp from grouse or other lily cultures. Therefore, when red beetles appear on the site, one must proceed to a mechanical method of struggle, namely, the collection of insects by hands.
      Insecticides can be used "Sonnet", since it has a long period of action and suppresses the production of offspring. Good results are also given by preparations of "Agar", "Confidor", "Actellik".

    FROZBIK UNDER THE WINTER
    Hazel from the seeds? Have you ever heard of this? But in fact a hazel grouse can be grown from seeds independently. Sow them better fresh and under winter. We sow them in boxes at the end of autumn into a substrate consisting of a mixture of leaf land, sand and peat (in the ratio 3: 1: 1), we leave the boxes in the garden. The first shoots will appear in the spring. They are rather gentle, it is better to pritenyat of the bright sun. In boxes, young plants live 2 a year.
    On the third, in early spring, they will need to be dug into the ground and a year later - to be planted in a permanent place.
    Seed boxes grow in early summer. In order not to lose seeds, cut the boxes at the moment when their walls begin to lighten. They will ripen at home on the windowsill.

    When to plant grouse
    Hazelnuts of hazel grouse can be excavated from the earth when the period of vegetation is fully completed. In this case, you can be sure that they have accumulated a sufficient number of nutrients for the rest period.
    Planting material is stored in cool, well ventilated areas. Plant bulbs in the open ground, when they have small roots. Usually this is August or the beginning of September. Know that the bulbs of the hazel hen of the imperial are devoid of protective scales, so do not buy them at late autumn sales. But if for some reason you can not plant the bulbs on time, then in this case you can put their 80 moist peat and store in the refrigerator. If you plant hazel grouses after September, then there is a high probability that next year they will not bloom. Before planting bulbs, they can be disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate.
    Before planting in the soil, it is desirable to add peat or humus. The depth of planting is equal to 2-3 diameters of the bulb itself (about 20-25 cm). At the bottom of the landing hole it is necessary to pour sand or peat, then put the bulb down, spreading the roots, and fill it with soil.

    Why do not hazel grouses? Two years ago I bought the bulbs of the hazel grouse of the imperial. I paid a lot of money for them, but they do not want to bloom. And now there are no buds. How to feed plants to achieve flowering?

      Top dressing is important for grouse, as for all bulbous cultures. The period of growth is short, and during this time they must accumulate strength for flowering next year
      But top dressing is not the most important thing when growing grouse. There are cases when they bloom beautifully on poor soils and without top dressing.
      The most important thing is to dig up grouse and store them in a warm place in the summer. The fact is that at home, hazel grouse grows in the conditions of a hot, dry summer. The bulb sleeps in dry land. During this period, the laying of flower buds takes place.
      At us the summer cool and damp, therefore the artificial period of rest is necessary. At yellowing of leaves (in the beginning of June) bulbs are dug out and cleaned in a dry place. The temperature is desirable not lower than 25 degrees (can be stored on the second floor of the garden house). In September, the bulbs are again planted in the soil. With such agrotechnics hazel grouses bloom every year.

    Why did the red imperial grouse cease to blossom?

      If flowering is missed once, then most likely, the flower bud died in the winter. Although this if happens, it is rare, as a rule, in long, snowless frosts. Most often, the flowering is extinguished due to the fact that the bulb itself is weakening. What is the reason? Ryabchik Imperial easily builds up additional bulbs, as a result, the "living space" for each individual bulb shrinks, and it is no longer able to "pull out" the flower bud. That is why these grouse are advised to dig out every year.
      However, for this council there is one more reason. To form a flower bud you need a sufficient amount of not only nutrients, but also summer heat, which we do not always have enough. Therefore, they are also dug out when the stem turns yellow (the first half of June), and stored in a warm dry place until August, when fragile roots start to grow. In principle, do not wait for the roots, plant bulbs in the ground in mid-August, to hold out until September does not make sense.
      First, the broken roots will not recover and the grouse will have to grow new ones. Secondly, the bulb may begin to dry up, which, although not deadly, is not necessary and not useful.

    As soon as the snow melts, the growth of the imperial grouse begins (Fritillaria imperialis). Cold spring mornings (up to minus 6 ° C) its young shoots tolerate quite well: although the stems freeze and lean towards the ground, as soon as the sun warms, the plants straighten and come to life. When the hazel grouse starts to grow, water the soil around it abundantly, do not let it dry. After the first leaves appear, feed with phosphoric fertilizers with an interval of 2 weeks until the appearance of flowers. Grouse is rapidly increasing in growth - in two weeks, by the beginning of flowering, it reaches maximum height. High durable stalks-flower stalks, even in the windy part of the plot, do not need to be tied to a support. The roots of hazel grouse often rise to the surface of the soil, do not damage them by loosening. After shedding petals, break the peduncle or remove the ovaries of the seed capsules, otherwise the plant spends a lot of energy. This is reflected in the growth of the bulbs, the root system and the deco-activity in the next season.

    Friars - from seeds
    Seed boxes in the grouse ripen in early summer. Until they began to crack, I cut them and keep them at home. And then sow the seeds for the winter in November, because they need stratification for germination. Sowing in a mixture of leaf land, peat and sand (3: 1: 1) into separate boxes, which I then drop in the garden. Spring shoots shade from direct sunlight and water. In the middle of summer, when the leaves die, I stop watering. For the third year in August seedlings from the box are transplanted to a temporary bed. And next spring (April-May) I "move" the grouse to a permanent place in the flower garden.

    When and how best to plant the hazel grouse of the emperor?

      Usually it is done in August, but I plant it in September when white roots appear (2-3 cm). Large - to a depth of up to 30 cm (to avoid curvature of the stem in the wind), smaller - up to 15-20, see. The grouse love the sandy "pillow. And do not necessarily put them on the barrel! I have never observed any decay from the alleged dropping of water into the place of stem separation. In the soil I make a complex fertilizer (according to the instructions). The place for planting is sunny, although the hazel grouse tolerates a slight penumbra. By the way, unlike many florists, I dig out hazel bulbs every year. Digging away from the stem (which usually separates itself), since sometimes the bulbs are located somewhat away from it. Very good, if it is possible to store bulbs at a temperature of + 30 degree, for two months. Such heating promotes better flowering.

    (Why the hazel grouse does not bloom For several years, the hazel grouse is growing in my front garden, there are a few plants, but every year they give me magnificent flowers, but many hazel grouses do not bloom with hazelnuts, although it rises well, develops, new shoots appear.
    For guaranteed flowering, grouse needs a little. First, you should plant the bulbs on a raised bed, on a light, humus-rich soil. In a landing pit with a depth of 20 cm, I pour wood ash, sand into the bottom, and then I lay the onion sideways. I sprinkle sand on top and then soil. In the spring, I feed the plant with complex mineral fertilizer. The second - I dig up the hazel grouse bulbs every year. This should be done after the peduncles and leaves have dried. Otherwise, the flowers are ground or flowering will stop altogether. After drying the bulbs in the shade, I put them in a box with sawdust for 1,5 months. Storage temperature 20 °.
    In September-October, as soon as the roots appear, I start landing. Autumn and spring frosts, as well as winter frosts hazel grouse is not afraid, but it is better to fall asleep leaves planted with bulbs.

    "Manage" grouse
    My first hazel grouses did not bloom for six years. Now I have already learned to "manage" their flowering.
    O I choose a place for landing higher, warm, with light partial shade. Bulb depth — the three heights of the bulb itself. I put phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (1 tsp) at the bottom of the hole and fall asleep with a layer of sand so that the bulb does not rot. In the spring, on seedlings, I feed with nitrogen fertilizer. I dig bulbs in the summer when the aboveground part turns yellow. I air the week in a place protected from the sun. Then I put it in a hot, dry place - in the kitchen on the top shelf (temperature - + 27 ... + 35 degrees). It is important that the bulb dries out 2-3 times during the storage period. In this case, the future flower bud is laid. I plant grouse in late August, so that they take root before the onset of winter cold.
