Large-leaved rodgersia: planting and care
Thanks to the expedition of Admiral Rogers to Chinathe world learned about such a beautiful garden plant, like rodzersiya. Planting and caring for her do not cause any problems, therefore bushes are very popular in America, Europe and have already liked many Russian growers. Plants grow up to a meter in height. Depending on the variety, the peduncles can reach 1.5 m with inflorescences colored in pink or white. Rogersia is attractive with its huge leaves, whose diameter reaches half a meter, in shape they resemble foliage chestnut.
Such bushes are a real decoration of anyof the infield. If you compile a list of the most attractive garden longevity, then among them, of course, will be rogiersia. Planting and care (the photo will help beginners find out what's what) will not take much time, you just need to know some of the features of the plant. The fact is that every year the bush takes up more and more places, therefore, by planting a small process, it is necessary for him to leave the place "for growth", there should not be undersized flowers near him.
Rodgersia is very supportive of moisture. Planting and care involves regular watering and mulching the soil. Lack of moisture in severe drought leads to yellowing of the leaves, their edges become brown and lose their natural beauty. Rogersiya in one place can grow for more than a decade, while it forms a dense colony. For this reason, the plant negatively relates to permanent transplants, for it it is necessary to immediately determine the place and not to touch it in the future.
On sunny areas, in partial shade, on shadyterritories - everywhere it feels good. Landing and leaving presuppose a choice of a place depending on climatic features of the region. The bush is very afraid of spring frosts, which spoil the leaves, so it should be planted in the shade, then it will grow later and avoid low temperatures. On the sunny plots, you can place rodzersiyu in the event that it is possible to constantly water it, on a marshy, wet soil, it will grow luxurious foliage even in the tropics.
This is a very voracious plant that needsin the fertile land. The soil must be loose, deeply worked and, if possible, diluted with peat. From a well-prepared soil receives the maximum amount of nutrients rogiersia. Planting and care also imply the introduction of nitrogen fertilizers in the spring, which have a good effect on the growth of foliage. Nearby you can plant only the same bushes, different varieties must be planted at the farthest corners of the garden. Plants tend to hybridize, so in a few years there will not be pure rodgers in the garden, instead of them there will be impostors.
