    Song « Childgarden»

    Children:
    1 let's remember how we once came to the d / s, guys, and

    2 why don't you come, they brought us in wheelchairs.
    We often sat on the handles, we didn't want to stomp with our feet.

    3 I remember crying every day, I was waiting for my mother, I looked out the window.

    4 And I got up to this - at lunchtime I fell asleep over the soup.
    Sometimes I ate poorly, spoon-fed me.

    5 we loved to throw sand, our vladik loved to laugh.
    Such were the naughty ones! We fought with hands and feet.

    6 yes we were all good, yes, what to take from us, after all, kids.

    Toddlers:
    educator junior gr. With the same crumbs you came to the d / s
    learned to stomp their feet, now you've grown up.
    And we have come to congratulate you on your transition to first grade.

    Carpets of flowers fascinating with their beauty, having all shades of purple - this is a shave. It is a very capricious plant with over 40 species. She is popular with gardeners. To decorate your site with this plant, you need to know the features of cultivation.

    What is aubrieta

    Aubrieta is perennial culture... It can grow very wide in breadth and spreads along the ground, forming a floral carpet. The main shade of her flowers is purple, but they are also pink, red and white. Small buds have 4 petals. Bloom begins in late spring, lasting 45-50 days. The second flowering period is in autumn.

    Above's main feature is its ability to grow in rocky terrain. Therefore, it is an ideal option for rock gardens, stone paths. Although Aubrieta is quite capricious, it can take root anywhere. It is frost-resistant, does not lose its foliage for the winter and does not fade. This makes the garden look amazing in winter. However, if the winter has little snow, this plant is covered with spruce branches.

    Most popular varieties of obriety:

    • Deltoid.
    • Cultural.

    Aubrieta: growing from seed

    Seed propagation is the most in a convenient way growing obriety. This procedure is carried out in the fall and planted immediately in open ground. Many gardeners sow seeds in late spring, but in this case, the bush will not bloom in summer anyway.

    Before sowing all weeds are removed from the soil together with the roots and loosen it thoroughly. This is necessary so that young shoots do not mix with weeds and do not die. So that weeds do not interfere with growth, aubrieta is sown on a hill or in crevices between stones.

    Young shoots are watered very carefully. It is best to spray the soil, otherwise delicate young shoots can be damaged.

    Some gardeners sow at home according to the following scheme: the seeds are dipped in vermiculite, which is part of the earthen mixture, and kept in it for about 2 months. In the first 2-3 weeks, the temperature should be 18-20 degrees, for this the seeds are covered with polyethylene. After the eighth week, they are planted in the ground.

    Aubrieta is grown in a sunny place... Any shadow contributes to the fact that the bush will not bloom, but will remain evergreen, with pale leaves. In such a place, the aubriet will not grow in breadth, but will begin to stretch in length.

    Sowing substrate should be infertile and lightweight. If there is an excess of sand in it, then Aubrieta will take it well, which cannot be said about clay soil. Be sure to feed the soil with ash or lime to reduce its acidity. Its level should be 6-7.5, a shift is possible only towards alkali. Necessarily Aubriet is fed with peat, and when it begins to bloom, a complex mineral fertilizer is introduced.

    Disadvantages:

    • If the aubrieta is grown from seeds, then it may lose the qualities inherent in this variety.
    • A plant grown from seed blooms only in the second year after planting it in the ground.

    Care

    A young plant needs a lot of moisture, but only at the initial stage. After that there will be enough rain and rare watering on hot days. Aubrieta is indifferent to moisture, so the soil is gradually drained. Excessive moisture harms the adult plant, it begins to bloom sluggishly. But it is necessary to mulch the soil after sowing three times, using river sand. The layer should be no more than 5 centimeters, and placed closer to the roots, which contributes to the intensive growth of the bush.

    Shaving care includes trimming it... After spring flowering, all stems are removed to the very root, in order to avoid excessive growth. Instead of the harvested shoots, new ones grow, which begin to bloom in the fall. It's just that the flowering will not be so plentiful, and the greenery will dominate the inflorescences. In order for the bush to have an attractive appearance for a long time, it is necessary to remove dried leaves and shoots from it. In the fall, no pruning is done; dead leaves are eliminated in the spring.

    Aubriet practically not susceptible to pest attacks... Only aphids can pester. Leaves begin to wrinkle from it and shoots dry. You need to fight it with insecticides, but only very carefully and in the most extreme cases. Instead, prophylaxis is carried out - they begin to intensively feed the soil during sowing and then mulch. You can spray the bushes with nettle infusion.

    Aubriet can only get sick with powdery mildew, as a result of which it is all covered with a white bloom. It is treated with colloidal sulfur, which is dissolved in water. If the disease has spread to the entire bush, it must be destroyed so as not to infect other healthy plants.

    Characteristic features of aubriets

    Aubrieta, growing from seeds of which is not particularly difficult, is a fairly frost-resistant plant that tolerates cold winters. The most interesting thing is that in the cold season, the flower not only does not change its color, but does not even shed its foliage, standing out as a bright green spot against a snow-white background. In any case, it is better to protect the plant from frost by covering it with fallen leaves of trees. Already in April-May, it is covered with attractive bright inflorescences, delighting with their flowering for a month and a half. The fruits are pods with elongated brown seeds.

    Surely every lover beautiful decor wants to have an evergreen carpet on his site that a shave can create. Growing from seeds at home takes a little longer than propagating it by cuttings or dividing a bush. Nevertheless, the seed method is very simple and allows you to grow a plant, so to speak, from scratch. It is enough to purchase the seeds of the desired variety or several of its types in aggregate, which will create a beautiful natural picture.

    Aubrieta: growing from seed

    When to plant seeds? How to do it correctly? When to wait for shoots? Such questions often arise among beginners in floriculture, and experienced gardeners once again they are trying to make sure that the disembarkation dates are correct.

    Sowing planting material It is produced outdoors in spring (May) or in autumn (September). You can plant aubrieta indoors, and with the arrival of warm days, the emerging seedlings can be planted in the ground. In this case, sowing must be done under a film a couple of months before the arrival of warm weather.

    The film must be removed when the first sprouts of such an attractive plant as shaved appear. Growing from seeds (photo fully conveys simplicity this process) is a very popular method, simple and labor-intensive.

    Shaving care

    The soil intended for sowing should first be mulched with a sandy mixture, and in order to avoid visual loss of young seedlings among weeds (in open ground) Aubriet seeds should be sown in even beds. The site for future plants should be chosen in a sunny place. The plant is able to take root in almost any soil, however, preliminary enrichment with lime, chalk or ash will be a good start so that shaving feels comfortable on such land.

    Growing from seed requires timely watering, but no frills. Otherwise, excess moisture will lead to active growth of aubrieta leaves and minimal or no flowers. The timely cutting off of wilted peduncles and dried leaves will contribute to the preservation of the attractiveness of the plant.

    Aubriet, the cultivation of which is the most in a simple way its reproduction, it can lose the qualities inherent in a certain variety. This is a disadvantage of the seed method, as well as the long wait for the flowers to appear: in the second year after planting.

    Cutting as one of the ways

    Gardeners often use the cuttings method, which allows them to effortlessly get such a beautiful plant as hybrid aubrietta. Growing from seed is a more time-consuming method than cuttings. In this case, it is required to separate the shoots from the adult bush that are not fully ripe. Future flowers need to be planted in a greenhouse with a soil composition of peat and sand. Aubriet should be planted in a permanent place of growth around August, making sure that roots are present on young plants.

    Top dressing aubriets

    Fertilizing the plant should be done carefully, because an excess of fertilizer can adversely affect the growth strength of the shaved. It is optimal to introduce feeding material 2 times a year. This is the spring period (before flowering) and autumn (after the final pruning of the plant in the current year). Pruning is carried out immediately after the end of the flowering of the aubriet, almost to the very base. This will give a start for the growth of new, stronger shoots, which, after a short time, will be covered with beautiful flowers of various shades. Thus, Aubrieta pruning is aimed at the formation of its non-stop flowering throughout the summer.

    Like any plant, Aubrieta is prone to being affected by various diseases. She most often suffers from powdery mildew. When the first signs of an illness appear, the plant should be treated with an aqueous composition of colloidal sulfur. With the ineffectiveness of the drugs used, the only correct way out will be to cleanse the area from the diseased plant: unfortunately, the living carpet will have to be pulled out and destroyed.

Therefore, the most optimal is the cultivation of aubrieta in the open field with seeds.

    Find appropriate place shaved for planting, and it will decorate any site

    Before you start sowing, you should decide on a place for future plantings. Aubrieta is a rather capricious culture. In the southern regions, it prefers to grow in partial shade, and in the northern regions, on the contrary, places with a lot of sun. Aubretia usually grows in rocky crevices, on stony soil, as well as in cracks in walls with dry masonry.


    Aubrieta

    A perennial herb from the cruciferous family - an irreplaceable ground cover plant with dense gray-green pubescent small foliage, OBRIETA - is able to decorate any backyard with its abundant floral carpet.

    The people also call Aubriet a windbag. Its squat and creeping shrubs are ideal for planting on alpine slides. She feels great in rocky gorges, as well as in crevices of dry masonry walls.

    Aubrieta is unusual, first of all, in that it does not throw off foliage for the winter, which is not afraid of even severe frosts. Its color, bluish in summer, turns bright green in winter. If the winter is too harsh, with a small amount of snowfall, then to preserve the bushes, it is better to lightly cover them with dry leaves. A in early spring, after the snow cover has melted, bright aubriet bushes will already delight the eye in the middle of a site that is still empty. Its flowering period begins in May and lasts more than 1.5 months. The plant blooms again in the fall.


    Growing obriety

    Aubrieta grows best and blooms best in sunny locations in moderately hot climates. It is better to choose a soil for planting light, neutral or slightly alkaline calcareous, not very fertile. In no case is it recommended to grow Aubrieta on clay, sour or fatty peat soils... Excessive moisture harms the plant, especially in winter, contributing to decay of the root part, therefore the best place for planting - rocky slides, hills or areas with good drainage.

    Mandatory regular watering is recommended only in southern latitudes. Watering too often can cause overgrowth of green foliage and poor flowering. With insufficient moisture intake, the plant also loses its decorative effect, but after the resumption of watering, it comes to life again. In temperate climates, only young plants can be watered during their active growth.


    Aubriet cultivation and reproduction during one season it is recommended to mulch the soil near the plants two to three times. A layer of sand 3-5 cm thick is poured under the roots of the bushes, which has a very positive effect on the growth and condition of the plant. In the spring and autumn periods, it is recommended to feed the plant with a complete mineral fertilizer. After the first spring flowering, the stems of the aubriet must be cut almost to the root to prevent its growth and stimulate the growth of young herbaceous shoots.

    After pruning, the plant will bloom again in the fall, although not so abundantly. The stems that have grown after pruning, covered with dense decorative foliage, will create an excellent backdrop for other rock garden plants that bloom later. To preserve decorativenesswilted branches and peduncles should be removed in time.


    Reproduction of obriety

    The easiest way to grow new plants is from cuttings. Cuttings are taken from cut branches without flowers. The rooting process should take place in greenhouse conditions, in peat-sandy soil. Cuttings can be transplanted to a permanent open place at the end of summer. In this case, before the onset of cold weather, they will have enough time to settle down and gain strength for a successful wintering. The recommended distance between planted cuttings is up to 15 cm. If you are still afraid that young plants will not be able to successfully overwinter, especially if they are taken from a very valuable variety, you can leave them in a greenhouse until spring. With each passing year, mature plants are losing their resistance and becoming more and more vulnerable to environmental conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to annually carry out cuttings of all varieties in order to avoid their loss.


    Another good way to grow obriety is from seeds. They are sown in beds in a permanent place in September or May and mulched with a sand mixture. If you sow seeds out of the blue, not limited by a ridge, then tender seedlings can easily get lost in the weeds. Flowering with this planting begins in the second year of plant growth.


    It is highly discouraged to divide the Aubrieta bushes for its reproduction - the plant tolerates this procedure very poorly. If the need for an emergency transplant nevertheless arises, it is worth treating it with all caution.


    Aubrieta is quite capricious, she requires constant care and attention, otherwise it is very easy to lose her. Of the diseases, Aubrietu is most often affected by powdery mildew, which covers with a bloom and deforms its stems and leaves. You can get rid of the fungus by treating the bushes with a solution of colloidal sulfur. Too damaged bushes will have to be removed.
