Lilac tree - garden decoration

On the plot there are many different bright and decorative flowers, but the eye stops at the beautiful queen and the main highlight of the garden - on a large lily. The origin of this word has Greek roots. It is translated literally, as "cardio" - "heart", and "krion" - "lily", the full name turns out - "heart-shaped lily".

The fact that it grows in the garden, you can guess on a gentle, but fairly persistent characteristic odor. So the fragrance can only exude a surprisingly harmonious and aristocratic lilac tree. Many breeders who are breeding new varieties want to impress our imagination with amazing, new species of this flower.

For example, scientists have brought a new species of these plants - hybrids, which belong to the class of OT. They got another name - a lily tree. This new selection variety was created in Canada, and in scientific circles it is called - Oriental X - tubular lilies. Why are they so interested in gardeners and fans of this plant? Most likely, because the lily tree astounds its decorativeness and unusual appearance.

This fireworks color and shades are very atypical for garden flowers, in addition, the plant does not cease to amaze with its size. For example, such a beauty on your site, provided that the care is correct, can grow into a master's growth or even more. There are cases when the lilac tree reached a height of up to 2.5 meters. At the same time, the number of spectacular buds was numerous, and the flowers were the size of a children's panamka and had the form: tubular, cupiform or chalmoid.

This new class of OT-hybrids is called "Goliath" by foreign breeders. This name was determined because of the size of the foreign beauty, which begins to take root gradually and in our latitudes. Of course, in order to grow these new varieties of lilies of marvelous beauty, one must work hard, however, do not be afraid of difficulties, gardeners with experience know that the most pleasant is the anticipation of the miracle and its quivering anticipation.

New varieties of lilies from the class of OT-hybrids with a clear use of instructions will reach peak flowering and their optimal growth only in the second, and maybe even in the third year of your efforts. In this case, care for them is not very different from the traditional. To ensure the decorativeness of the flower and give it the opportunity to show all its beauty, we need correctly selected and effective fertilizing and special planting conditions.

Remember, this is an unusual plant, because it has a high flower-bud and many flowers. In order for them to fully develop, it is necessary to plant uninjured bulbs in a sunny place, at a depth of at least 25 centimeters.

Land for planting is first deep digging and provide the necessary drainage. Lilies are hygrophilous, but do not like ground and surface water in autumn and winter. If you decide to plant a few bulbs, then the distance between them should be at least 1 meter.

Do not forget about weekly watering and growth stimulators. There are a lot of them, but give preference to the analogues of "Epin". Note that an adult plant with huge flowers will require a serious support. That's the lily! Do you need to hide the tree in some way for the winter? The answer to this question is simple. The tree is cut, as usual, with the shelter of any plant for the winter. Only, in this case, you need to make a dry warming of the plant, as this will save bulbs from harmful microbes and at the same time from the advancing colds.

Do you know that lilies have excellent medicinal properties and are used in food? This plant helps with burns, and from the bulbs grind flour and bake flat cakes. Bulb starch is popular, because it turns out to be of the highest quality, but most of all this flower is interesting for its exquisite beauty and delicate aroma.
