Caring for uvulyariya correctly

North American uvulyariya has not yet gained great popularity in horticultural circles and landscape compositions. But the prospects for growing it in our gardens are very bright, since it is not every day that you can see an overseas plant that grows so easily on shady areas that are almost devoid of sunlight.

Botanical description and role in the garden

The perennial plant belongs to the Perennial family and grows up to a maximum of 50 cm in height. In the rhizome, having a horizontal shape, usually formed a lot of thin stalks, which at the top fork and leafy. The foliage is compressed, smooth, elliptical, slightly rounded at the base. Uvulyariya flowers in the size from 2 to 5 cm, hang down, as a rule, one by one and have a yellow-green fresh shade. The plant blooms at the very end of spring.

Plant species

Among our gardeners most often cultivated is the large-flowered uvularia, as this is the most attractive view of all five available. Other species have the following names:

• pierced leaf;
• sapodia;
• Florida;
• mildly pubescent

Growing conditions

Uvulyariya is a rather unpretentious and undemanding flower, so its cultivation will not be difficult. But some conditions still need to pay attention.

Flower lighting

It is necessary to choose a shaded place for planting, then the plant will develop better and bloom more abundantly. This is due to the fact that it is still originally a forest dweller.

Growing soil

The soil for growing should be well drained, necessarily with a neutral or slightly acid reaction (pH level from 5 to 6).

Landing uvulyariya

Uvulyariya is planted with the help of seeds or by dividing a bush. It is important to remember that a distance of at least 20-30 cm should be maintained between specimens. When planting, you must make organic fertilizer in the form of mulch, then well loosen the soil under the bushes. This procedure must be done after landing every spring.

Seeds

To plant unusual specimens with seeds should be at the end of the summer period. Seeds must be fresh, they should be planted on a flat surface and lightly sprinkle with an even layer of soil. It is desirable that the soil was constantly moist. The first shoots will delight gardeners within six months, starting from the second month.

Dividing bush

Reproduction of rhizomes must be done in early spring or late summer. In general, this method is considered more convenient than planting seeds, since it suggests a much faster result. The process is divided into several simple steps:

• The rhizome is dug out and cut into several parts (there must be a renewal bud on all parts).
• Cut points are treated with ash.
• In the planting, pre-moistened pit is set separated part of the plant.
• The rhizome is filled with soil, which is slightly compacted.In order to secure the bushes settled down, you need to carefully monitor the soil, not allowing it to dry out.

Plant care rules

In order to decorate your plot with a magnificent uvoliaria, you first need to organize the correct fit, and then provide it with the right care. To do this, follow some simple rules:

• For starters, do not forget about the timely mulching, as indicated above.
• Since the plant most of the time is in a humid environment, the appearance of pests such as snails and slugs can not be surprised. To get rid of uninvited guests, you must purchase special chemicals, preferably harmless to pets (for information, contact the seller or read the instructions on the package).
• Also, a guarantee of good and rapid growth of bushes will be a regular saturation of the soil with organic fertilizers and various flower dressings, to do it better once every two weeks.

Interestingly, uvoliaria can grow over the years in the same place., and, if not touched, it can grow into a huge, powerful and attractive bush, pleasing the eye with its sunny buds.

Wintering uvulyariya

These seemingly rather fragile flowers have a very high level of winter hardiness, so in the cold season they can easily do without shelter. But if winter was almost snowless, then it is better to sprinkle them with slightly dry foliage.

Gentle, decorative flowers will be excellently decorated with borders and park paths. And even in the autumn period, their attractiveness will be maintained, making usually shady and unremarkable areas bright.
