Perovskiy is one of the perennial plants. This plant is endowed with an unusually decorative flowering that begins in the middle of summer and lasts until the fall frost. The flowers of this plant are painted in purple tones, and are also small. Perovskii flowers are collected in inflorescences, which are panicles.
The plant is endowed with wonderful aromas, and in height it can reach about sixty centimeters-one meter. Perovskia is perfect for cutting. It is noteworthy that the leaves and flowers of this plant are often used in the preparation of various dishes.
Description of the features of the care and cultivation of Perovskii
It should be noted that for the favorable development of this plant, it will be necessary to place the Perovskia in sunny areas. With regard to the choice of soils, well-drained, light, loose soils, which will react alkaline, are preferred. It is noteworthy that this plant will develop extremely poorly on heavy soils. However, it should be remembered that this plant does not need special care. In addition, frequent watering and top dressing are not necessary for the favorable development of Perovskii. This plant should only be watered on particularly hot and dry days. However, it is also quite acceptable to apply organic fertilizers during planting: such fertilizers should be compost. It is noteworthy that in one place this plant can grow for many years, for this reason, the plant does not require particularly frequent transplants. In the period of early spring, it is important to cut the shoots to the very base, while a height of about ten centimeters should remain. For the winter period of time, the plant will need light shelter.
Reproduction of perovskii
Reproduction of this plant can take place using seeds or by means of cuttings. However, it is worth noting that gardeners choose seed propagation much less often. Perovskii seeds are sown directly into open ground in the spring, when the soil warms up. It is important to note that when choosing this method of reproduction, the flowering of this plant will come only four years after sowing the seeds. Before planting, the soil should be prepared by adding compost and sand to the soil, and then digging up the soil. Seedlings must be planted together with a clod of earth. The first time after the planting of this plant has been carried out, it will be necessary to ensure regular watering.
With regard to propagation by cuttings, then such measures should be taken at the very beginning of the summer period. In this case, the plants should be planted at a distance of about fifty centimeters from each other. This will require cuttings about seven to ten centimeters long. Such cuttings are cleaned of the lower leaves, and the base itself is treated with a tool that will accelerate the process of root formation. Cuttings of this plant should be rooted in a moist substrate, which will consist of a mixture of peat and sand. In addition, such perovskii cuttings should be covered with a plastic bag.
It is important to remember that an excess of moisture can lead to the fact that the plant will develop root or stem rot. However, this plant is particularly resistant to various pests and diseases.
As for the compatibility of this plant, Perovskia will look especially impressive in single plantings or in a mixed flower garden, in which roses, mallow, lavatera, calendula, yarrow and other perennials will also grow. Such plants should be endowed with bright flowers of orange, red, pink or yellow color.
