Once you plant Incarvillea in the garden, you can enjoy its beautiful bell-shaped corollas for many years, admiring them from June to autumn. Rhizomes can withstand severe frosts, if you remember to cover them for the winter. The variety of flower shades and different heights of the species will satisfy every taste and type of flower garden
Rod of Incarville
A small genus of Incarvillea is represented in nature by fourteen species of perennials, which can be rhizome herbaceous plants or shrubs.
They have decorative feathery leaves and beautiful inflorescences in the form of panicles or brushes, composed of funnel-shaped or bell-shaped flowers of different shades.
Their beautiful, but difficult to pronounce name, the genus and plants received in honor of the French scientist with the same name, who lived in the first half of the 18th century.
Varieties
•
Incarvillea spicy (Incarvillea arguta) is an erect herbaceous species with a woody stem at the base. Does not tolerate frost. Differs in feathery elliptical or lanceolate leaves and bell-shaped flowers with pink or white corollas.
•
Incarvillea dense (Incarvillea compacta) - a species up to 40 cm high, does not tolerate cold well. From the basal rosette of pinnate leaves, a peduncle with red flowers rises.
•
Incarvillea Delaway (Incarvillea delavayi) is the most popular cultivated species, growing over 60 cm in height. Funnel-shaped flowers appear in May, before long, pinnate leaves. Bright pink flowers with a yellowish throat re-delight the gardener in August. There are varieties in which the corolla of the flower is white and the tube is yellow (for example, the “White” variety).
•
Incarvillea grandiflorum (Incarvillea grandiflora) - otherwise it is called
Incarvillea Mayer (Incarvillea mairei) is a dwarf species that grows up to 40 cm in height. Cold hardy plant. Deeply dissected leaves form a basal rosette. The shape of the leaves is ovate-elongated, the terminal lobule is large with a rounded edge. A leafless peduncle with large funnel-shaped flowers with a white tube, which is orange inside, and a dark lilac corolla, rises from the rosette of leaves. There are varieties of other colors.
•
Incarvillea olge (Incarvillea olgae) - medium-sized species, rising to a height of 60 cm. The most frost-resistant species. The plant has odd-pinnate leaves and purple-pink flowers.
Growing
In hot summers, Incarvillea feels good in partial shade, although he loves sunny places more. All species tolerate heat well, but not everyone can handle the cold. If Incarvillea Olga is able to withstand harsh winters without outside help, then other species should be insulated for the winter, covering them with leaves, straw, peat or spruce branches.
Incarvillea prefers fertile soils, generously flavored with humus, loose (sandy loam), well permeable to moisture, not allowing water to stagnate in one place. When planting seedlings in open ground, complete mineral fertilizer is added to the soil in spring. Planting is carried out shallowly, when recurrent spring-summer frosts, dangerous for a gentle creature, are no longer expected.
During a prolonged drought, regular and abundant watering is required.
To maintain the appearance of the plant, damaged or yellowed leaves, wilted inflorescences are removed. stimulating secondary flowering in the second half of summer.
Reproduction
Perennial Incarvillea for several years can delight with its flowering, without changing its place in the flower garden. Seeds, by early spring sowing of which the plant is propagated, quickly lose their germination, and therefore they should not be stored for a long time in storerooms. Incarville presents with flowering in the third year of his life on Earth.
Special boxes for growing seedlings are filled with a mixture of peat, sand and leafy soil, in a ratio (1: 1: 2). The seeds are not embedded in the soil, but cover the box with glass or tighten its surface with a film. Grown up seedlings are provided with personal cups in which they await planting in open ground. Watering is required when absolutely necessary.
Enemies
The main enemy of the plant is stagnation of water, which provokes rotting of the roots.
