Draba fladnisensis (lat. Draba fladnisensis) - one of the most common representatives of the Draba genus, belonging to the Cabbage family, or Cruciferous. In nature, the species is distributed in North America, in the western and eastern regions of Siberia, the mountains of Europe, as well as in the Arctic regions of Eurasia. Often the plant can be found in Scandinavia. Nowadays, the Fladnician Draba is cultivated on the private plots of European countries and in Russia. The plant is loved for its active growth, abundant flowering and ease of care and reproduction.

Characteristics of culture

Draba Fladnician, it is also Fladnician crumbs, belongs to the disgrace of perennial herbaceous plants, not exceeding 5-7 cm in height. As the culture grows, it forms abundant lush rugs, strewn with small greenish-white flowers, which give the total mass a special zest. The foliage of the species under consideration is small, does not exceed 1 s in length, has a linear, oblong or lanceolate shape. By the way, the leaves are pointed at the tips, ciliate, pubescent, rather fleshy, collected in rosettes, from which a straight or slightly winding naked peduncle emerges.

Dense racemose inflorescences of small flowers rise above the peduncle, usually one brush bears up to 12 flowers. The flowers are equipped with the smallest rounded petals, they are equipped with bare thin pedicels. The fruits are presented in the form of pods, the top of which is blunt or slightly rounded; they bear small brown seeds, which are most often self-seeded.

Flowering of the Fladnician drab is observed in early summer, usually in the first or second decade of June, sometimes later, depending on the climatic conditions of cultivation and proper care. The species belongs to a number of winter-hardy ones, it is capable of lowering the air temperature to -29C, therefore it can be grown in the Urals and Siberia.

The subtleties of growing

Draba Fladnicia reproduces by seed and vegetatively, that is, by dividing the bush. The second method is the most relevant, since it does not take much time, and is subject to even a novice gardener and florist. With the seed method, the collection of seeds is carried out as the pods ripen, if this procedure is not carried out on time, then the seeds are self-seeded.

Sowing is carried out without preliminary preparation in seedling boxes in late March - early April. As a rule, seedlings are pleasing with a friendly composition in a week, the main thing is that the air temperature varies within 15-20C. With the appearance of two leaves on the seedlings, a pick is carried out in different containers. Landing at a permanent place is carried out not earlier than the beginning of June, when the threat of frost has passed.

Reproduction by division is carried out throughout the summer. The Fladnician draba grows, as well as the nearest "relatives" rather quickly. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the growth of the culture, and, if necessary, suppress it, otherwise the plant will occupy large areas and displace other crops in the garden. It is possible to plant Fladnician Draba in rock gardens, near the walls of a house and outbuildings, as well as along a fence and on gravel. The main thing is that the location is sunny or with a light diffused shadow.

Caring for the culture in question is as easy as two or two. For normal growth and development, as well as abundant flowering, it requires standard procedures. We are talking about watering, weeding (at first, in the future, the plants themselves will suppress any weeds), if necessary, feeding. Although without them, the plants feel good, because they are suitable for growing in poor soils. Shelter for the winter Drabe of Fladnicia is not required, although if severe frosts are expected - below -29C, then warming with fallen leaves is welcomed.
