Day beauty - botanical description

Daytime beauty or bindweed tricolor (C. Tricolor) is planted in dachas more often than other cultivated members of the family. The birthplace of this flower is the coast mediterranean sea. As a decorative culture, it has been used since the 17th century.

If you soak the seeds in a stimulant (Silk, Epin) or simply in water separated from chlorine for 1-2 days, they will germinate much faster. Landing in open ground carried out in early June every 30 cm.

Annual bindweeds for the garden are cold-resistant, withstand small negative temperatures, so when the soil warms up, the seeds can be sown in open ground. In the suburbs, this happens at the end of April.

In the future, flowers are not sown on purpose, but they are given the opportunity to multiply by self-sowing. Seeds remain viable for up to three years.

bindweed care

Bindweed blooms luxuriantly on organically fertilized loams and sandy loams, tolerates slightly acidic and slightly alkaline soils. The plant is valuable because it can tolerate partial shade. However, the plant does best in full sun. The optimum temperature for development is +20 degrees; in heat and drought, plants stop growing, lose their decorative effect, but do not die.

Plants cost the most moderate care. Water them when it's hot. Every two weeks, any complex fertilizer can be added to the water.

To preserve the decorative qualities, faded flowers are cut off. This makes flowering more lush, since the plant does not expend energy on the formation of seeds. The plant reproduces by self-sowing, therefore, if the plantings need to be saved for the next year, some of the ovaries are left on the branches.

Diseases and pests

Daytime beauty is not annoyed by any phytopathologies. This is a strong flower with stable immunity to mushroom and bacterial diseases. Its leaves are poisonous to most pests.

Occasionally, aphids appear on the plant or spider mite. In wet weather, it can be affected - the leaves and stems are covered with a white coating, as if they were sprinkled with flour.

Mauritanian bindweed (c. Mauritanicus) is more suitable for hanging than others. Its shoots hang down beautifully from baskets and containers. A single plant on the soil surface can cover an area of ​​almost a meter. A plant growing in a container flows down like a waterfall. The usual color of the corollas is lilac, white varieties are less common.

The plant blooms from July to autumn frosts. The soil requires loose, nutritious. Mina adores heat and sun and can be used for landscaping south walls, pavilions, fences and other vertical surfaces facing south.

You can get flowering plants only from seeds. They are sown at home at the end of March - each seed in a separate cup. When shoots appear, they almost immediately need to put a support, since the stalks of the stellate bindweed can only grow by clinging to something.

Seeds can be sown outside when the threat of frost is gone. Such plants are stronger and hardier, but bloom late - at the end of summer.

With the advent of the first warm days, sprouts-threads appear with small oval leaves. And soon they fill the earth around with cobwebs, so that later they bloom with gramophones of pale pink flowers, which are popularly called bindweeds. Bindweeds caused a lot of trouble for gardeners and flower growers, but some varieties of this plant have become a wonderful decoration for a flower bed, but an elegant element of landscape design in its simplicity.

It is interesting that many flower growers do not even suspect that a flower that attracts with a combination of three different shades of colors comes from a field bindweed, a weed that interferes during the growing season, wrapping around the stems of plants. If you do not weed it out in time, then the nondescript plant will bloom with small white gramophones. It was this attractiveness that breeders noticed.

Today there are over two hundred species cultivated plant, among which there are curly, non-curly, annual and perennial flowers. They amaze with large constellations-gramophones, monophonic and multi-colored. It seems that the artist, reflecting on the eternity of beauty, mixed colors, choosing shades. In moments of reflection, the paint from the brush dripped onto the white petals of the flower - and a unique charming combination appeared.

daytime beauty

This is what gardeners call bindweed tricolor, the colorful charm of summer. They noticed that multi-colored gramophones open at the moment when the rays of the sun glide over the plant. And then they delight all day with their elegance. It's a shame that bindweed shows its beauty for just one day, but this pushes gardeners to a little trick. So that the plant does not stop flowering, a person removes dried inflorescences, because there are a lot of buds on the plant, waiting for their turn. It seems that flowering lasts forever.

The scientific description of bindweed tricolor may be as follows:

• flowers in shape resemble a funnel, reach five centimeters in diameter;
• the leaves are small, oval or lanceolate, their color is dark green;
• the plant is low, up to forty centimeters;
• on the central stem there are many side shoots that spread along the ground or rise up, clinging to any support. When creating flower displays, this feature must be taken into account and bindweed should be planted in front of tall specimens.

Instance landing question

You can grow a plant by seedlings or direct sowing of seeds in the ground. At the same time, you need not get confused with the timing: seeds for seedlings are sown in prepared boxes with the advent of March, in open ground - in mid-April. In any case, the advice of experienced gardeners should not be neglected:

• A place should be chosen for planting in the eastern part of the flower bed: then the sun illuminates the bindweed plantation in the early morning.
• The soil on the site should be loose and fertile: you will have to mix the soil with peat and sand.
• Before planting, the material should be soaked for twenty-four hours.
• The grooves are shallow, seeds are scattered in them and covered with soil mixture.
• It is better to cover the sown area plastic wrap: "greenhouse effect" will contribute to the rapid germination of seeds and protect the emerging sprouts from frost. The film is removed after the threat of frost has passed.
• In the morning or in the evening, the crops are watered, but from a watering can. The soil should be moist, but the water should not stagnate. Experienced gardeners know that if you overdo it with watering, the plant will not bloom.
• Rows with seedlings are thinned out, taking into account the fact that as the flower grows, more space will be required.
• Bindweed grows quickly and blooms profusely, and therefore needs to be fed. Twice a month it is watered with water with complex fertilizers dissolved in it.
• The plant can bloom until late autumn, but with the onset of cold days, watering should be reduced, because the abundance of moisture and lower temperatures will contribute to the occurrence of the disease - powdery mildew.

Can be grown

If desired, bindweed can be grown in a container to decorate the balcony of the loggia, veranda:

• the soil mixture is poured into the container, but not to the very edge;
• the soil should be watered abundantly, allow time to dry;
• add a new layer of loose soil mixture and shed again;
