In any garden shop you can see a wide selection of annual garden flowers. Bright sachets with seeds are moving on the shelves of the showcases or decomposed in chubby albums for photos. But it is enough to watch buyers a little, and it becomes clear that you choose a very limited list of cultures. These are ordinary vehicles, nasturtium, annual asters and other popular flowers. Tens of plants remain unclaimed for many years. We will expand the horizon. Meet - Papaver. Have you heard such a name?

If you look for this plant among seeds, you can find it under the names: Papaver, Papava Garden, or Pione-shaped papaver.

By photos, you already understood that this is a terry poppy, and Papaver is the Latin name Poppy. Sometimes on the package it is written: poppy pionic. However, in the gardens, other varieties of poppy are growing more often.

Everyone knows the terry poppy, similar to Mac East. It has large red-orange flowers with a diameter of up to 18 cm. The terry forms have a poppy maca with small flowers (up to 8 cm in diameter).

Papaver, or popioniform, differs from the names of poppy by the fact that the flower he really looks like a peony. It is a large, dense, and petals are cast silk.

Created varieties with strongly dissected petals. In the form, such flowers are more reminded not to peony, but a huge carnation.

You can find on sale as a mixture of varieties and separate varieties of different color. Very spectacular flowers of dark burgundy shades. These include varieties of black winch, purple velvet, black dragon. For contrast, put a variety of dairy dragon (white), dawn (pink) and red-raspberry varieties.

We are against the discrimination of Papver!

The terry poppy is a beautiful plant, but they are wary of the poppy. Remember the time when the povels were hunting.

A pronounced narcotic action has only one type of poppy, but most of them were exterminated in the gardens. Now almost no one pops. It's time to fix this injustice.

First, the papaver is not similar to the poppy. Secondly, it is possible to put it so that it is not visible to others. And thirdly, immediately after flowering, cut the boxes, and they will not attract unwanted guests.

Papaver is an excellent garden decoration. He is especially good when planted by a group. Red, white and pink varieties look perfectly on the background of the Tui and any green shrub, for example, the canbushnik.

For dark varieties of poppy, you need to pick a light background. It can be a wall of a brick house or a bush of man with white-motley foliage.

A cheerful mixture of different colors is good everywhere!

For example, papaver pioneed charlotte (mixture) is a decorative plant with a height of 70-80 cm. Flowers are large, 8-15 cm in diameter. Flowers in June-July for a month.

How to grow papaver

Papaver straight sowing in the soil in spring. Seeds do not sprinkle soil. Water cautiously from the watering can with a small pitch.

Often, seeds cannot climb if the crust formed on the soil. To avoid this, before sowing, you need to pour a layer of homogeneous purchased soil or sifted compost to the ground. Split the surface and only after that sow. Shoots appear in 8-12 days.

To obtain large flowers and strong stems, the seedlings are thinned, leaving between them 15-20 cm. Sowing can be carried out in several times with intervals of 2 weeks.

Place for sowing should be bright. But it is better to choose it so that the flowers are closed from the scoring rays at noon. This is especially true of dark varieties. Either sow poppy in a light shadow, where the flowers do not appear longer.

Papover care is simple. While the seedlings are small, it takes a weeding, otherwise the plants will stretch and will not give strong flowerons. Watering is needed only in drought, usually grabs precipitation.

About reproduction Papaver

Better every year to buy seeds in the store, they are inexpensive. And if you want to collect your own seeds,

put on the color paintings paper bags. Do not wait for full ripening when the boxes are open, cut them into the house for dosing. The fact is that the same beautiful flowers grow out of the collected seeds and sown spring. But Samosov gives the usual simple poppy, which has to be removed from the garden.

And even for bouquets!

It is believed that the poppy is not at all in a vase. This is due to the fact that when cutting, milky juice is distinguished, which clogs the vessels. Flowers are withering literally in front of her eyes.

But it turns out, the papaver can be used for cutting. For the first time I saw him many years ago in Moscow. Grandmother at the station sold these luxurious flowers, and I bought them. Then no one knew such a name - Papaver, everyone said that it was a terry poppy.

Flowers stood at grandmother in the bidon. She brought them by train, and the road occupied at least two hours. However, the flowers were fresh.

I asked: "How did you manage to keep them?", And the granny shared the secret. Immediately when cutting, still on the garden, you need to put flowers in warm water. Then, after 5 minutes, put it in cold. Change water every day. If the flowers begin to wither, take warm water again and make a cut under water.

Of course, compared to Astrami or daisies, the poppy is kept in a vase for a short time. But if you leave the garden, you still can capture a bouquet of these charming colors with you. At home, they will delight you with their terry hats.

Buying colors seeds, remember the papaver, (or popioniform). Be sure he will like it.

There are representatives of the clan in areas with a subtropical, moderate and even cold climate. They grow in arid places - steppes, deserts and semi-deserts, dry and stony slopes. In the culture, the poppy flower is grown not only as decorative, but also as medicinal plant. In some countries, the poppy cultivation is prohibited due to the fact that many of its species contain a narcotic substance, and other countries are grown by the poppy in an industrial scale: opium is obtained from its immature boxes, which is a raw material for the production of sleeping and painful drugs.

Gradually, this vicious tradition spread farther to the east, and China became the largest consumer of Opium. In 1820, the government of this country banned the importation of dopeful poison, but, losing in the "opium" war of England, who received a huge profit from the supply of this product, was forced to resolve the import of opium. Today sleeping Mac. Grow in China, India, Afghanistan, Central and Asia Minor. And the decorative poppy and its hybrids were tremendous popular in garden culture.

Flower Mac - Description

Macs - annuals, two-year and perennial rhizable grassy plants. The root in poppy is a rod, deeply outgoing in the ground, and the suction roots, located along the periphery, are easily broken during transplantation. The stalks in poppy are straight and durable, bare or pubescent, leaves are regular or opposite, solid or peristracted, most often covered with volosist-bristy input. The right top flowers with numerous stamens located on long and durable flowers are usually single, but some species are assembled in bundled inflorescences. Petals in flowers are large, solid, painted in red, orange, yellow, pink, salmon or white colors.

Poppy fruit is a mace-shaped box with seeds, "clogged" with a convex or flat disc. When ripening, the box bursts, and the seeds are thrown at a considerable distance. The germination of poppy seeds retain from 3 to 4 years.

Growing poppy from seeds: landing poppy into outdoor ground

An ever-making method for growing annual poppy is not used, since the seeds are perfectly attended when sowing directly into open ground. In addition, Poppy seedling is unlikely to transplant. Mac long-term is sometimes grown through seedlings, and when the seedlings have a first pair of real leaves, they are divened to a permanent place.

When to plant Mak.

Poppy seeds implemented in stores, the Internet or garden pavilions, as a rule, do not need pre-free preparation, but the seeds have a preliminary stratification, for which they are in areas with a soft winter sow in the soil in the autumn or at the end of winter, pursuing the goal to vomit Seeds in cold soil. If you intend to sow poppy in a later spring time, you will have to hold their months two in a vegetable box of the refrigerator for stratification, and only after that sow. Surprised seeds germinate badly, and seedlings of them grow and develop very slowly.

How to plant poppy in the garden

Almost all types and varieties of Poppy prefer to grow at sunny areas. As for the composition of the soil, then each of them has its own preferences. If you grow a variety, well-developing in non-fermented soil, you are lucky: you will not have to prepare a plot for culture in advance. But if your poppies require fertile soil, reap the area with bone flour or compost.

Poppy seeds before sowing is better mixed with small sand in a ratio of 1:10. Sowing is carried out on the surface of the soil loosened to the depth of 3 cm, after which the seeds are only slightly sprinkled with soil. No need to sow pop-up, since the seeds are hardly kept where you put them. Plot with crops need to be kept in moderately humid state. When sprouts appear, and this will happen in the spring sowing after 8-10 days, to sprink them in such a way that each flower has a small space for growth and nutrition - from 15 to 20 cm. Blossom will occur in 3-3.5 months from Sowing and will last 4-6 weeks.

Poppy Care in the Garden

How to grow Mak.

The cultivation of poppy and care for it is unreasonable: water is watered only in a strong long-lasting drought. After watering between the poppies, the soil is loose, so that the crust does not form, and remove the weary grass, and if you close the mulk plot, then water, and loosen, and you will have much less frequently.

On fake Mac in open soil Very responsive, although they are not mandatory. Sometimes you have to handle the poppy from diseases or pests, but such trouble happens to infrequently.

Pest and Poppy Diseases

Due to adverse weather conditions, MAC affects such diseases as malievable dew, peridosporosis (false torment dew), alternariasis and fusariosis.

Poppy after flowering

Annient poppy after colors is just destroyed, but if you want to extend the bloom, remove seed boxes as soon as they begin to form. If you do not cut the seeds, then the next spring will appear from self-seams in this place. In the fall, the plot is purified from plant residues and hammer.

Mac long-term after flowering loses decorativeness, and its ground part is cut at the surface level. In the shelter for the winter, many years of tops and varieties do not need, but if you are afraid of frosty and mad winter, throw a plot with poppy dry foliage or spruce sweetheart: it will not be worse than this poppy.

Pipaver pione-like - bright, spectacular herbaceous plant of the poppy family. The word "poppy" in relation to it is rarely used because of the long-standing prohibition of poppies, although this flower is undoubtedly an excellent decorative decoration of any garden or flower beds.

Botanical description

It has medium leaves in the form of teeth and large, terry flowers with numerous solid petals. Flowers can be different shades: from white to dark burgundy and even black. There are varieties with strongly dissected petals resembling. The flower fruit is a box with small cellular retina seeds.

Spread

Pipaver pionoid is widespread in moderate and subtropical areas. It grows in Europe, Asia, North America, often found in the Caucasus.

In a natural environment, it grows both on the plains and in the desert terrain. Perfectly feels on the mountain slopes.

Did you know? More Ancient Egyptians noticed the beneficial properties of poppy. They specially grown it on plantations and used as an analger, calling "sleepy potion."

Paporet Ponya varieties

4. Stems - SIZO-GREEN, PERFORMING, WITH WILL BACK. Flowers are dense, in the form of white-cream balls, diameter up to 15 cm.



Growing at home

Papaver pionoid does not represent a special difficulty for growing. It is necessary to create the right conditions for the growth of the flower and do not forget to water and feed.

Selection of place for landing

For landing, you need to choose a sunny and bright area. Pipaver Pionoid feels very well under the open sunshine. It is necessary to plant in a well-swollen soil (8-10 degrees Celsius) and immediately at a permanent place of residence. Macs are distinguished by a strong rod root, which is easy to damage when digging and transplanting. Flowers are sufficiently frost-resistant and in additional shelter do not need.

Soil and fertilizer

Papover pione is not demanding for soil acidity, the main thing is that it is light, crumbly and well-drained. Periodically, the soil must be disappeared, while removing the growing weeds and trying not to hurt the roots of poppies.
Maks are very responsive to feeding. It must be carried out at the beginning of spring and during the period of bootonization of plants. Soluble complex mineral fertilizers will give the stems and leaves more juiciness, and flowers - color saturation.

Watering and humidity

Pipaver pione form need to regularly water, the volume of water and the frequency of watering depends on temperature ambient. In the hot season you should water at least once a week.

It should be noted that the plant reacts poorly to stagnation. For poppies, it is better small enough that excess moisture.

Reproduction

The plant breeds both seeds and cuttings.

Seeds

Maks are driving at the beginning of spring into an open ground without seedlings, as they do not tolerate the transplant and can begin to root. Pipover seeds are very small, so it is better to mix them with sand to disembark them, so as not to get too thick shoots.

The plant loves loose homogeneous soil, especially well grows on sandy areas.Clay soil can be too dense for seeds, and they will not be sprout. Before landing, the land is abundantly moisturized and the poppy is surrounded, without sprinkling soil. Top is once again sprayed with water from the sprayer.
Shoots appear on the seventh day after landing, and flowering can be expected after 1.5 months. After the appearance of shoots, they are thinned, leaving between the plants a distance of 7-10 cm. If you leave a thick landing, then the poppy will grow, the blooming can not hold the flower, and the peony effect will not be released.

Papover Pionoid is perfectly breeded and independently. In the fall, he drops his seeds, and they are scattered on the plot around Mac. The seeds are very lungs, and the wind can attract them for quite a long distance from the plant itself. After that, in the spring it is enough just to proper shoots.

Important! Radiated flowers are better to immediately delete, not allowing the boxes with seeds or attract unattended guests to the garden. This simple technique will allow to extend the flowering time almost twice.

Cherenca

For disembarking, side shoots or sockets are more suitable, which grows early in spring or by the end of summer. They need to carefully separate and sit down from the main plant (until autumn). After rooting the cutlets, it is necessary to grow for about two years.

To increase the survival rate of the plant, you can withstand the cuttings in the solution of the drug "Routener". And after disembarking, heal the plant residues of the solution.
For landing, a sufficiently deep fertile layer of soil is needed, because the poppy has a rod root system. At the selected place, it is necessary to break the soil and prepare a hole with dimensions of 30 x 30 cm. Add some kind of garden compost to the landing pit, after planting a little pouring plants. Not allow an excessive watering!

Papver care

Pipaver pione is a very unpretentious flower that does not require much care.

How to care for poppy

So that the plant grew well and pleased with its beautiful external species, It is necessary to water him in time, at the same time carefully wearing the earth around the poppies and deleting. After a day after irrigation, it is possible to explode a little soil. And do not forget to feed the poppies in the spring period complex.

Possible difficulties in cultivation

When growing a flower, you can encounter such problems:

• expandable watering can lead to reinforcement of the roots of the plant;
• insufficient feeding - the reason for the weakening of the poppies and the appearance of small and less bright flowers;
• thick landing and weeds lead to a minor of plants;
• lady flowers in time can lead to pests.

Collection of seeds

Poppy seeds are assembled after the yellowing of the plant leaves. The process consists in collecting boxes, extracting seeds and packaging them in varieties. Store seeds better in paper bags or envelopes in a dry and cool room.
No preset seed preparation requires. Moreover, the pionee-shaped papaver propagates independently, waving on loose and fruitful soil.

The household plot or the local area is easy to diversify and decorate using flowers for this. Fortunately, today it is not a problem to acquire seedlings or seeds of various plants, both annual and perennial, easy to grow.

However, despite big choice flowers of different typesMost of the gardeners for some reason prefer the same plants that makes all the areas to pain like.

For example, among those of the same and constantly used colors, you can allocate:

• roses;
• asters;
• peonies;
• velvet;
• nasturtiums and others.

Although there is an incredible set of others at least, but maybe even more beautiful and attractive colors, but which are not popular. Among them you can allocate the annual plant of Papaver.

Today we will talk about him. This article provides instructions for the cultivation of a flower, which will be useful as those who first hear about the plant and those who are already familiar with him.

general information

Growing a garden papaver from seeds is a really difficult lesson. The main thing is to know which seeds to buy.

In particular, in stores they can be submitted under the following names:

• papaver;
• papaver ordinary;
• papaver garden;
• pipaver pioneward.

Note. The name of the plant translated from the Latin language means poppy.
Some films point to the packaging with seeds that is this name - poppy pionic.

The flower can be identified according to the following characteristics:

• similarity with peony;
• size;
• thick terrace;
• visually petals resemble silk.

Interestingly, in profile stores and on the market you can find how pure varieties of this flower and the mixture.

Plants are distinguished by a pleasant color.

For example, it is necessary to highlight the varieties of dark burgundy tones:

• "Black dragon";
• "Violet velvet".

Among other varieties of mention deserve inflorescences:

• white color ("Milk Dragon");
• pink colors ("Dawn").

Unswashed flowers

Unfortunately, forced to admit that such a flower, like Papaver, is underestimated by most of the gardeners.

Note. Some refuse to land, fearing the invasion of drug hunters, which can or even the entire garden.
After all, they published, after flowering when a seed box is formed, the papaver resembles poppy.
But if you cut the seed box as soon as the petals fall, then no problems will arise.

Plant plant to maximize their attractiveness, recommended by groups, while choosing varieties of different colors:

• pink;
• white;
• red.

They incredibly look beautiful on the background of green, for example, such as:

• cUBUBUS.

If you have chosen the dark varieties of papaver, then in this case, to play on an attractive contrast, it is recommended to plant them on a light background, for example, perfectly suitable:

• light wall;
• light fence;
• bushes with light green leaves.

Features of growing and reproduction

Any varieties of plants, whether it is a garden white papaver or a flower of another color, quite easily grow even with your own hands.

For this you need in the spring:

• sow seeds into the ground;
• do not sprinkle;
• gently pour from the watering can, but it is necessary that she had a small strain.

Note. Sometimes shoots can not break through due to the crust formed during watering.
In order to prevent it, the seeds are recommended to suck into a sidewal compost.
Also suitable for this purpose and purchased soil.
Its, as well as compost, must be predetermined.

Typically, shoots appear in eight days, but no later than twelve.

If you want to get strong stems and the same strong, large flowers, you need to cut forward shoots. There should be from fifteen to twenty centimeters between individual seedlings.

Special attention is paid to the place where you will sow Papaver:

• it should be light;
• but at noon there must be a shadow to prevail so that the straight sun rays will not fall on the plants.

Flowers do not require some special care, quite a small weeding, and even that, until the seedlings are strengthened. But you need to water the flowers only in those periods when there are no rains for a long time.

Features of breeding

In principle, considering that the price of seeds of Papaver is low, you can not waste time and strength to reproduction.

But if you just wonder on our own growing, collecting seeds will not be difficult:

• put on the color of the regular packets of paper;
• when the boxes are finally formed, but do not dare, cut them out and put them in the house;
• this will allow you to collect seeds.

Of all the varieties of poppies that exist in nature, the most beautiful, fabricated in the gardeners is considered precisely the poppy east long-term. Landing and maintaining this luxury flower will not require you special skills, knowledge of agrotechnology. Some difficulties may occur only when transplanting already adult plants - about these, other nuances I want to tell you.

With its beauty, this flower can stand even with a rose, and many common garden inhabitants can just eclipse. Large saturated red poppy buds bloom with the arrival of summer, the stalks of the plant can reach a meter height. Mac grows with powerful bushes, and thanks to the efforts of breeders now boasts a wide range of color gamut, a variety of petals texture.

Graphic and pink varieties, photo:

Mac Eastern Perennial can be multiplied by sowing seeds into the ground, dividing the bush, green processes. Cuttings (side shoots) must be pre-rooted, must pass about 2 or 3 years so that they give color. It is quite difficult to transplant this plant, but still possible, despite the fact that it reacts poorly to move from place to place.

When to sow east poppy?

If one-year poppies bloom in the same year, then many years, most likely, will make their buds for the next season (for example, if you sow seeds in the fall). If you sow in the spring, then the flowers on the bushes will appear later than the autumn sings. To the very beginning of the summer, throughout the 2nd weeks bloom Maks. The fruit of Poppy represents a box, covered on top of the "cap" when this box dries out, then small holes are formed between it and the cover. If you leave boxes with seeds on the bushes, then by self-saming, through these very holes will be saturated with seeds. This cycle can be repeated annually if you do not collect boxes.

How to collect east poppy seeds? There is nothing complicated here: you need to wait for a complete drying of boxes, carefully cut them, stored in a dense fabric bag. You can leave small, grayish-black seeds right in boxes, and you can remove the lid, clarify the sowing material in the glass container. Sometimes in areas you can see the flower head wrapped with marral cloth - it is also one of the ways of collecting seeds, which does not allow seeds to wake up on the ground. As you know, poppy seeds can be used not only for flower breeding, it is also a food product, quite widely used in cooking.

Boxes with seeds, photo:
