Day-lily

Intelligent bastard…

German gardeners dedicated this funny epithet to the daylily. From the point of view of garden design lovers, the lush curtains of this flower can be attributed to the ideal inhabitants of the landscape. It perfectly tolerates shade or light shading, but in all its lush beauty it is able to show itself precisely in sunny plots.

The second name of this plant is the beautiful day or day lily. This is because each flower bestows its beauty for only one day. But since there are a great many of them in one curtain, the flowering lasts a long period.

The daylily is absolutely undemanding and will grow anywhere and under any conditions. And in order for the curtains to look neat, they are limited with a plastic rim when planting and wilted inflorescences are cut off in a timely manner.

Day-lily



The long leaves of the daylily cascade from the center of the curtain. When it is dense, the lower leaves support the upper ones and a beautiful spherical shape is obtained. But the plants left to themselves quickly grow in breadth and the curtain turns out to be loose, the leaves break under their own weight. To avoid this, the bush must be initially programmed for density. Therefore, a plastic rim is used as a growth limiter for the underground part.

This rhizomatous perennial tolerates frost well and does not require shelter. Unpretentiousness and similarity with lily flowers prompted breeders to create new highly decorative daylily varieties.

COMPATIBILITY IN SHAPE AND COLOR

Whatever the color of the flowers of Krasodnev, the bulk of the color is represented precisely by the leaves. From this they are repelled when creating a mixed flower garden with a daylily.

Leaves with white stripes will perfectly highlight a flower garden located in the shade. The beauty of flowers plays a secondary role here, because there will be few of them in shading conditions.

Traditional juicy green leaves will be excellent partners for decorative foliage plants of color other than green: it can be blue or variegated hosta, purple geyhera, variegated brunner, etc.

REPRODUCTION AND TRANSPLANT

The most common type of reproduction of the daylily is the division of the bush. For this procedure, sufficiently mature bushes about 7 years old are selected.

It is better to divide the rhizome two weeks after the end of flowering. The leaves are cut by a third to allow the roots to develop before the onset of the cold period.

Spring division is carried out during the period when the first leaves have already formed.

Try to cut the root with minimal damage. Slices are recommended to sprinkle with ash.

The survival rate of planting material is high, but adding a root growth stimulator will not be superfluous.

Reproduction by seeds is possible, but this process will not bring results soon. Flowering will be obtained only after 3-4 years.

Neither color nor texture will add volume to garden paths. In the garden, where there are a lot of plants, this nuance does not spoil the picture, but the lawn, even dissected by winding paths, paths, alas, still looks flat. Select paths on the lawn or …

Just like any textured surface has glare and shading, it is desirable to lighten the palette of an ornamental garden in some places, on the contrary, add a depth effect in others. Only in this way will the landscape that opens up to the eye acquire expressiveness, and some drama.

The opinion about the unreliability of a hedge is fundamentally wrong. Imagine a wooden jungle with distances between the trunks of about 30-40 cm. Even if it is not a branched shrub, but bare trunks, it is extremely problematic to crawl between them. Needless to say, most…
