Furry clown. Planting and care

One of the most hardy, luxurious and majestic herbaceous plants that are a natural adornment of the garden is the clopogon. Planting and caring for it does not cause any difficulties even for beginners. Luxurious foliage adorns every corner of the garden, and when the clown blooms, it is impossible to look away from it. Such an interesting name was given to the plant due to the fact that one of its species is used as an insecticide. The Latin name sounds like a tsimitsifuga, but in translation it means the same thing. But the German name is more aimed at describing the beauty of the plant and is translated as "silver candles".

Bug for a personal plot. Planting and care consist in the selection of fertile and well-moistened soil. Plants are decorative since early spring, when their first luxurious foliage appears, and up to strong autumn frosts. Flowering begins closer to the end of the season, then the tsimitsifuga throws out slender shoots with beads-buds, which, becoming fluffy, become like fluffy brushes.

A semi-shadowy place is just perfect for a plant like a clopogon. Planting and care means a constant fertilizer site organic, as for tsimitsifugi it is very important. It can even grow in shady and damp places, where other flowers simply do not survive. Fallen foliage retains moisture and serves as a natural soil fertilizer, so in one place the bug can safely grow without transplants until 20 years. For a season it is also necessary to make four complex additional fertilizing.

At any convenient time, you can transplant the bug. Planting and care involves digging a bush together with an earthen lump, so you can avoid stress for the root system. To watering the plant is very demanding, in hot summer days it is necessary to ensure a moderate supply of water under the bush. It is not worth pouring, as it can start to rot the root.

Single-seat plantings and groups look great klopogon. Caring for one bush is a constant mulching and loosening of the earth to a depth of about 5 cm. You can plant any low-growing plants such as saxifrage, gill, hornbeam, etc. near the plant. Flowers above 15 cm should be planted a short distance, because the stems of the clopogon need airing . Excellent looks group of several tsimitsifug of one species.

Planting bug on a site with one-sided lighting leads to the fact that the inflorescences are directed to one side, closer to the sun. This gives the bush a natural charm, but still, if you want the fluffy brushes to stand exactly in the center, then they need to tie a string. For tall stems, this will only be useful, as they may suffer during a violent storm or a downpour. Klopogon not only decorates the garden or flowerbed, but also stands well in the cut. In order for the flowers to stand longer in the vase, the stems need to be cut a little along.
