How to plant daylilies

Daylilies – hardy plant, undemanding to the conditions of detention. Nevertheless, there are times when a grown daylilies not bloom. Usually this is due to a bad landing. At one point trazodne can spend 6-10 years, so his choice growers very carefully.

Perennial develops best in well-lit areas, tolerates light shading in the afternoon. Next there should be tall plants, fences or structures, the daylilies need space. From sites located in nizinnyh or close the flow of groundwater, it is better to refuse, as cracogna not tolerate waterlogging of the soil.

When you can put

Planting daylilies in the spring in the open ground is determined, considering that he needs an average of two months for full rooting. It is important that the roots have time to grow and get stronger before winter. The varieties with early flowering times enough month – that is why they are preferable for regions with late cold spring and autumn frosts.

Planted the daylilies immediately after the threat passes the return of frost and the soil has warmed to 15°C. the Exact timing determined on the basis of the climatic characteristics of the region. In Moscow region the right conditions come the middle of may. In the areas located South to plant the daylilies in the mid-end of April; and the inhabitants of Siberia and the Urals will have to wait until the end of may. Depends on time of planting and the characteristics of the variety. Hardy daylilies with late flowering can be planted early, thermophilic, respectively, later.

Flowers which features daylilies

When planning a flower bed, gardeners choose plants that harmonize in color and form. Determining the place daylilies in landscaping, please note the following points:

1. The daylilies with rounded beaters are best combined with flowers of the same shape.
2. Krestniy with green cores harmoniously fit into the contrast of the composition.
3. Flowers with yellow and orange necks better combined with garden greens, especially with variegated hosts. You can put them next to the evening primrose.
4. The red daylilies it is best to plant separate groups or surrounded by garden greenery, colorful "environment" will "score" the purity and brightness of color.
5. Yellow and orange daylilies combined with botulinium and gravitate.
6. Pinkish, crimson and purplish with astilbe, monogamy, geraniums.
7. Purple looks great against monacoproof or bells.
8. Motley well, "shade" yellow-green cuffs.
9. You can safely combine the daylilies matching colors, but different pattern.

Day lilies in landscape design is often combined with Phlox, flowering which occur in the months of July. Next to tall plants, they try not to plant the shrubs and ornamental trees "overshadow" the beauty of blooms and inhibit growth.

Preparation of planting site

The growth of daylilies is inhibited in alkaline or highly acidic soils. The optimal pH for them is 5-7; more acidic loam neutralized with dolomite flour. It is desirable that the soil was air-permeable, so a heavy black soil is loosened using peat or coconut fiber. Peat moss for these purposes is not used because of its high acidity.

The daylilies to "enjoy" the presence in the ground a small amount of sand, which prevents its caking and waterlogging. Training suburban area starting 2-3 weeks before planting. Dig over on a bayonet of a shovel, removing all the weeds, add well burned out last year's compost.

Preparation of seedlings

Planting material choose in the spring; the daylilies are sold in form of sleeping delanoc. They should not be dried or rotten roots, dark spots and rough sections. Before planting the daylilies are stored in the vegetable section of your refrigerator wrapped in newspaper.

Directly before planting the rhizomes carefully inspected by removing, when present, all dried or rotten roots. The sections necessarily are processed by the crushed coal. If over time, grown leaves, they are pruned to 10 cm Planting material for a few hours soaked in the stimulant Epinay or Carnivine, dried.

Landing sequence

Planting daylilies in the open ground is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Dig planting holes so that they were 2 times wider than the roots; depth about 30 cm Water.
2. The distance between holes is 70 cm tall and 30 cm for dwarf varieties.
3. At the bottom of the hole poured a little sand and peat; you can add a pinch releases slowly phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, e.g., superphosphate.
4. The rhizome is placed in the hole, gently spreading the roots.
5. Sprinkle the ground, leaving an open root collar. Tamped, watered again.

Drilling depth – not more than 6 cm, otherwise the bushes will be weak. After planting, mulch with peat, sawdust or straw.

Care daylilies outdoors

Gardeners love daylilies, because care in the open ground behind him almost not time-consuming. They bloom usually in the first year of planting, although adult bushes are budding more abundant. Care daylilies in the spring is reduced to make dressing; in the summer, to timely watering.

Watering and fertilizing

The roots of daylilies can accumulate moisture, so they tolerate small periods of drought. In summer, during flowering, shrubs are watered abundantly, the bucket, every 1-2 weeks, depending on temperature and availability of natural precipitation. Frequent and shallow irrigation only hurt the daylilies, its roots, as in the case of carrots, in the "search" moisture begin to grow horizontally, getting to the warmed upper layer of soil, where it is sintered. After watering the earth loosened and mulched.

Fertilizing daylilies important for abundant bloom. You can use a loose mineral mix or ready to flower feeding on the basis of peat. Dry buried in the soil around the bushes; a liquid mixed with water for watering.

In the spring the bushes need nitrogen for a set of green mass. Organic matter is not used. Fertilize with NPK at half the concentration of the specified manufacturer's standards: too much nitrogen can have a negative impact on budding. Summer feed mixtures with a predominance of phosphorus and potassium. In the fall, to "help" the rhizome to recover from the season and prepare for winter, make potassium sulfate.

Care during the autumn and preparing for winter

After flowering cut off the arrows. The leaves give themselves to yellow, giving nutrients to the roots, then cut them. Under the bushes put a layer of compost 2-3 cm thick, This measure allows to prevent age-related exposure of the root of the neck and additionally provide daylilies with nutrients.

Trazodne tolerates winter even without additional shelter. Hybrid varieties can be covered with a layer of peat, straw or fallen leaves. In regions with harsh winters, mulching is necessary; additionally put on top of spruce branches or twigs. Shelter be removed as soon as the snow melts.

Breeding daylilies

The most common method of propagating daylilies – division of a Bush. The rhizome is dug in early spring, washed. Cut so that each part should have been 3-5 points of growth and the developed roots. Slices be sure to sprinkle powdered charcoal or activated carbon, dried. Large can be directly planted in a permanent place; a small grown several years in temporary beds. Sometimes young daylilies form a child sockets, which can be disconnected without digging up the parent plant. They are very visible in late summer. Such delenki until the spring, keep in a closed room.

Seed propagation is used only for breeding purposes. Most daylilies are hybrids, so self-collected seed parent signs repeat will not. Grown from seed plants bloom only for 3 years. Seeds need the mandatory stratification cold. The sowing is performed in spring or a winter in temporary beds, closing up to a depth of 2-3 cm.

Some varieties of daylilies can multiply stem cuttings. This is typically late blooming daylilies that form the "children" in the axils of stems. Sockets with a piece of the stem is separated after usyhanija peduncle. The leaves are pruned by a third. Planted in a mixture of sand, peat and leaf soil in pots. Until next spring kept indoors, providing moderately cool, about 0...3°C temperature.

Transplant

Daylilies can be transplanted once in 5-6 years. They can grow in one place for longer, but the bushes over time degenerate, and the buds are shrinking. Allowed transplant daylilies in the summer, but better to do it in the spring, so the bushes had to "grow roots" in new places until frost. If there is a need to dig up the daylilies in autumn, the rhizome stored in a cool (about 7°C) dry place wrapped in paper until the spring.

Transplanted daylilies so:

• prepare planting holes;
• dig up the bushes, trying not to damage the rhizomes;
• cut dry and damaged roots, if any.
• cut off the leaves, leaving "stumps" 10 cm;
• transplanted to a new location.

Be sure all the slices are dried and processed coal.

Possible problems when growing

The daylilies are resistant to most pests and diseases. Occasionally as the result of swamping the bushes can "attack" the root rot. When the first symptoms daylilies are dug, roots washed light pink with potassium permanganate, remove all damaged areas. Slices treated with fungicide and dried; as caring for Delancey.

When daylilies yellow leaves, it tells about abnormal circulation of mineral salts, namely iron compounds. No need to feed the bushes with nitrogen, it will only aggravate the situation. Check soil acidity: the pH rose above 8, and the iron is moved out of reach of the roots form. Take steps to return acidity within the acceptable limits.

Common streak, a specific fungal disease of daylilies. When it first appear "dropsy", then the leaves turn yellow "stripes". Develops when excessive moisture, the moisture on leaves and dense planting. Reduce the intensity of irrigation, treat the bushes with systemic fungicides.

From garden pests can become infested with gnats daylily or caterpillar shovels. In the first case, the symptoms will be deformed slow-growing buds. They pluck and burn the outside of the flower beds. The second attack scoop – damaged young shoots and buds of plants. In both cases planting is treated with systemic insecticides.

The appearance of daylilies can influence and violation of farming. With insufficient watering dry leaf tips. If not in bloom daylilies, this speaks to the recessed landing or strong shading – the bushes have to "lift" or move to a more appropriate place.
