When to plant seedlings of flowers for open soil

Seedling method, some grow only flowers. These include snapdragons, sweet peas, asters, barhary, ageratum, sweet tobacco, Salvia, Petunia, nasturtium, Dahlia, Portulaca, annual Phlox, poppies. The most suitable period for planting into the soil from mid April to late may. However, planting heat-loving flowers is better to postpone until warmer times, when all the danger has passed frost.

Before transplanting, prepare the soil well in the garden: the land should be dug and fertilized. Use of organic and mineral fertilizers. In the spring make sure you add nitrogen to the soil: 30-40 g per cubic meter flower garden. And in the fall make 50-60 g of phosphate and potash fertilizers.

To cold-resistant flowers include poppy, verbena, cornflower, Aster. They can be planted earlier (late spring). Heat-loving flowers: barazi and nasturtiums planted in early summer. The distance between planted trees should be such that flowers freely grow, not shaded and do not oppress each other. Therefore, when planting seedlings, consider the duration of flowering and the size of future flowers. Plant height, diameter of the flower, the degree of branching should be thought out and harmoniously in the garden or flower bed. In this regard you will need the basics of landscape design.

Thus, the peonies planted at a distance of one meter from each other. The Phlox, astilbe and the catchment is sufficient 50-60 cm between plants. Annuals plant a few leaves at a distance of 30-40 cm Saplings and low-growing flowers planted at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. Note that after transplanting, you will need to perform certain operations, such as tilling. Therefore carefully calculate the width of mizuragi. Plant the plants so that it is convenient to use a hoe or "cat." However, some weeds will still have to weed by hand.

Before planting, water generously seedlings in the box and wait until the water is absorbed. So the plants will be easier to remove from the soil. It is desirable to keep the clod of earth on the roots when transplanting. Then the flowers are less exposed to stress when planting in the open ground. In the flower garden make holes or grooves and put some flower pots at the right distance from each other. The roots of the plant in the hole carefully spread so that they are not bent. Then sprinkle the seedlings with earth and liberally pour.

The transplant process is very important to choose the correct depth. If you plant flowers shallow, they are poorly to stay in the ground and they have to Spud. While too deep planting some flowers can die. Try to land so that the heart or the cotyledon leaves were above ground. Traditionally, the seedlings roots into the soil 1-2 cm deeper than in the box. And only baracy tsiniya and Salvia are not afraid of depth when planting as may form on the stems of new adventitious roots.
