Forgotten lavatera - growing a wild rose

Lavater's pink was at the peak of popularity in the last century. A beautiful tall plant decorated many country estates. People admired the meter-high stems with an abundance of large flowers and large leaves planted in groups. Today, the lava, or, as it is called in the people, a wild rose, hathma, is reborn again.

An unjustly forgotten plant belongs to the Malvian family and has only 26 species. In nature, it is common in North America, Australia, Central Asia and Europe. In Russia, the flower is also known for a long time. Today, from an inconspicuous plant, wonderful new species of lava-terriers are brought out.
One-, two- and perennial varieties are represented by rhizome herbaceous species up to 130 cm high, which grow beautiful bushes with dense foliage. In decorative gardening, varieties such as the Thuringian lava and the three-month lava are used.

The first species is a high erect perennial of two-meter height. Dark pink flowers five centimeters in diameter are stunning from the end of June to October. Huge inflorescences occupy half the height of the whole plant and are able to decorate any place.

The three-month lavater is an annual plant with a strong root system, which forms a branching bush of meter height. With its large tender carmine, pink or white flowers, it looks great on summer beds or flower beds. There are also undersized varieties (mixed Lavender, pink beauty), which will be pleased in the summer with purple, bright pink colors.

Lavaera: cultivation and care

An elegant plant is primarily appreciated for its unpretentiousness. It is undemanding to the composition of the soil, but it develops better in loose and nutritious soil. Lavaetera perfectly tolerates drought and is very photophilous. But all the same the plant needs to be watered in time. Khatma feels well both in the sun and in the penumbra. It is resistant to strong winds and sudden cold. Sprawling large specimens are recommended to tie - this will improve the appearance of the plant.

Cut flowers last a long time and look fresh if they are placed in the water immediately from the bush. Flowers are kept on the branches until the frosts.

Before growing a lavater, it is necessary to plant seeds on seedlings that will appear from the ground in a week. In May seedlings dive and transfer to a permanent place. The plant is not capricious, and the transplant is tolerated well by any lavater. Cultivation can be made and directly planting seeds in the ground, in this case, they are recommended to water with warm water. When shoots appear, they are thinned, making intervals of 25-30 cm. Like any decorative plant, the lavatera loves top dressing. This is suitable for conventional mineral fertilizer.
Blooming bushes please not only the human eye, but they are an excellent medonos, they are visited with pleasure by butterflies and bees.
Since the beginning of autumn, it is possible to begin collecting seeds, which gives the lavaera. Cultivation of new plants will begin in the next year. If the boxes are brown, dry, and when tapping from them gray seeds pour out, then it's time to assemble them. But most often the plant spreads by independent sowing.

A wild rose rarely suffers from disease. It can be affected by rust, aphids, which are destroyed by chemical preparations.

In general, the lava, the cultivation of which can be performed even lazy, is a beautiful flower that cheers up for months.
Khatma is well combined with other bright decorative colors of blue or violet color. These can be irises, roses, verbena, sage, delphinium, grown on a flower bed next to the lavatera.
