Convolvulus flower - description

The life forms of bindweed are numerous. Found in nature annual bindweeds And perennial bindweeds. They can be herbaceous plants or subshrubs with erect or creeping stems up to 4 m long. Bindweeds have creeping rhizomes with thread-like roots. The leaves of plants of this genus are usually simple, entire, alternate, petiolate, lobed or toothed, arrow-shaped or heart-shaped. The flowers, which open early in the morning, are located in the axils one or three at a time or are collected in inflorescences. The corolla of the flowers is bell-shaped or funnel-shaped with barely pronounced lobes. The fruit is a capsule with seeds that remain viable for 2-3 years.

Bindweed in the garden is every gardener's nightmare, but ornamental plant Bindweed is a fast-growing vine that landscape designers readily use. Its bright greenery, flexible shoots and delicate flowers able to drape any vertical surface. The bindweed flower reproduces only by seed method. To achieve maximum camouflage of an object with bindweed in short time, it is advisable to use seedling method plant propagation.

For seedlings, bindweed seeds are sown in March, after keeping them in water for a day. Place them in separate cups with drainage holes for outflow excess water, filled with moist compost soil or a soil mixture consisting of one part peat and two parts fertile soil. Sprinkle the seeds on top with loose soil and lightly press it with your hands. Do not sow bindweed in general box, because he does not tolerate picking well. Keep the crops at a temperature of 18-20 ºC, watering regularly, and within two weeks you can expect seedlings to appear.

Bindweed seedlings need to moisten the soil as it dries and fertilize with a weak concentration of mineral fertilizer solution every two weeks.

Planting bindweed in the garden

When to plant bindweed.

As soon as warm weather sets in and the threat of return frosts has passed, bindweed seedlings, after preliminary hardening, are planted in the ground. Usually the necessary conditions appear in mid-May, although there are years when bindweed seedlings have to be planted in the first ten days of June.

Choose a well-lit place for the plant: under the bright sun, the bindweed vine will bloom long and profusely. The plant needs permeable soil, preferably loamy, although in general bindweed is not picky about soil composition.

How to plant bindweed.

The area for bindweed must be prepared in advance: dig it up, adding 2-3 kg of peat per m² of area, and level it. Before planting, seedlings are watered abundantly so that they can be easily removed from the cups. Seedlings are planted by transferring seedlings into holes located at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. After planting and embedding, the seedlings are watered again.

Caring for bindweed

Growing bindweed in the garden.

One of the important points in caring for bindweed is its watering, which should be regular and sufficient. A lack of moisture can lead to the dropping of buds, but excessive moisture will also not benefit the plant. In a normal summer with a normal amount of precipitation, you don’t have to worry about the condition of the bindweed, but if it’s hot, don’t forget to water it, especially if you’re growing an ampelous Moorish species.

Otherwise, caring for bindweed is simple: The plant will need weeding only after planting, and as soon as the bindweed gets stronger, it is no longer afraid of any weeds. Growing bindweed may require establishing supports, and the sooner you do this, the better. Guide the bindweed shoots along the supports in a timely manner, and if the plant has spread too much, you can partially prune it without any harm to the bindweed. There is no need to remove faded flowers or fertilize, but if you think that the bindweed is not growing fast enough or blooms poorly, feed it with a solution of 1 tablespoon of Agricola for flowering plants and 1 tablespoon of Nitrophoska in 10 liters of water at the rate of 2.5- 3 l per 1 m² of planting. You can also sprinkle wood ash under the bush.

Pests and diseases of bindweed.

Bindweed gets sick very rarely; pests do not bother it either. Sometimes powdery mildew may appear on it, from which the plant is treated with Bordeaux mixture or another fungicide. The bindweed is damaged by aphids, and acaricides - Actellik, Antitlin or Aktara - will help you get rid of them.

Bindweed after flowering.

Bindweed is grown as an annual crop, but if you want to preserve it, dig it up, replant the plant in a pot, and let it overwinter in a bright, frost-free room. In spring it can be planted in the garden again. But since bindweed reproduces well by self-sowing, you will most likely see fresh plant shoots in the spring in the place where it grew last year.

How to get rid of bindweed

When you look at a well-groomed garden bindweed, you simply cannot believe that its field relative can cause gardeners a lot of trouble. But this perennial has amazing vitality and endurance. It is capable of strangling any plant in its tenacious embrace, and if you find a modest bush of field bindweed in your garden or vegetable garden, start fighting it immediately. Try to pull all its roots out of the ground using a rake. If you fail to do this, and the weed begins to take over the garden, you will have to resort to herbicides - Tornado, Roundup or Lintur. Start by applying “spot strikes” and repeat the treatment several times.

If an area is completely occupied by field bindweed in early spring, before you have planted anything yet, dig up the soil, rake out all the sections of roots, and then cover the area with a dark material that does not transmit light - roofing felt or black film: without access to oxygen and light, with strong heat, the bindweed is unlikely to survive. But just in case, in this area in this year do not plant anything other than white mustard, which will not give the weed any chance to survive. You can also sow fescue or bluegrass.

If bindweed appears in an already sown garden, you will have to do weeding every day, and the roots and stems of bindweed with seeds must be burned. Herbicides are best used spot-on or after harvest. In autumn, the soil is dug up deeply, the roots of the bindweed are removed and burned. Resist the temptation to compost them because they may sprout again.

Annual and perennial climbing plants

All climbing plants that are used in garden design, can be divided into two large groups: annual and perennial. The classification is based on their growing season. Perennials can grow in one place for decades and every year delight you with their flowering with renewed vigor. Annual plants have a limited growing season and die, as a rule, with the onset of the first frost. However, they have one feature for which gardeners love them so much - this is the most lush and abundant flowering. They, in comparison with perennials, are able to give the largest seasonal increase.

Thanks to the current diversity planting material you can, firstly, achieve the effect continuous flowering, and secondly, use each type where it is most appropriate. Of course, we should not forget about climatic conditions Moreover, when choosing colors you should be guided by this factor first of all.

Let's start with annual climbing flowers for the garden - as they are the simplest and most versatile to use. We offer you a selection of the five most popular and spectacular plants.

Sweet pea

In our opinion, sweet pea underestimated, as it is practically not in demand among landscape designers. And it’s completely in vain, because the plant has its own unique charm. Without it it is difficult to imagine such a popular Provence style and english garden. At the moment there are 10 groups of varieties and more than a thousand varieties. Powerful hybrids grow in 1-2 months to 2 m in height, and from mid-summer the bushes are decorated with large “moth” flowers (characteristic of all representatives of legumes) of a wide variety bright colors emitting a delicate aroma. There are also medium and low-growing varieties. Such diversity allows you to create a harmonious multi-level composition.

Sweet peas are among the most commonly used climbing flowers for arbors. It is unpretentious, requiring only regular watering and timely garter of the lashes. Prefers shady places where the sun hits in the afternoon. The photo above shows sweet peas planted with clematis.

morning glory

One of the most unpretentious climbing annuals- this is definitely morning glory. With her strong green hugs she will embrace everything that comes in her way. This genus of flowering plants from the Convolvulaceae family includes more than a thousand species, but several main varieties are used in ornamental gardening, which have given rise to numerous hybrids.

Morning glory prefers sunny, well-lit areas. Easy to care for and undemanding. In dry summers it needs frequent watering.

Morning glories are climbing flowers (photo above), most often used to decorate fences and hedges. In this case, the type of support does not matter at all: a neighboring tree, a house wall, etc. Morning glory creates a living carpet, decorated with many large (up to 10 cm in diameter), intricately curved funnel-shaped flowers. The palette of shades ranges from white to dark blue, burgundy and deep purple. The background of green foliage creates a bright contrast.

Kobeya

Kobeya can rightfully be called the queen of annual weaving flowers (photo above). It stands out among the wide variety of hybrids with large flowers in the form of wide bells, reaching a diameter of 8 cm. The palette of shades: from white to rich, deep purple. The plant is characterized by a high growth rate and the ability to quickly increase green mass; it can easily stretch up to 4 m in a season. The shoots are very tenacious with sensitive tendrils, do not require additional garter and can crawl independently on any surface. Flowering continues until the first frost. If desired, morning glory roots can be dug up and stored until next spring in room conditions. However, as a rule, gardeners prefer to use it as an annual.

In terms of use, kobeya is universal. With its help you can hide the most unsightly buildings and walls, decorate pergolas and gazebos, and the walls of the house. True, there is one caveat: it is built up by a plant green mass It seems light only at first glance, so it is better if the support is strong enough.

Dolichos, or hyacinth bean

Could there be anything more vibrant and exotic in Russian gardens than blooming dolichos? These magnificent climbing flowers are a novelty that deserves close attention. Gardeners often call it “climbing lilac,” a reference to the stunning large clusters of flowers that form on the plant in midsummer. Closer to autumn, no less decorative glossy purple pods appear in their place, which are also a kind of decoration.

Dolichos is a heat-loving plant. Under good weather conditions, it is capable of growing up to 4 m in height over the summer. Due to this professional designers they prefer to use it for pergolas and gazebos. The plant does not require care. However, in middle lane Russia is recommended to grow it through seedlings and plant it in a permanent place only after warm weather has established itself without the threat of frost.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium in its homeland, in Central and South America, is a perennial. However, in our climatic conditions these are annual climbing flowers for the garden. The photo clearly demonstrates the magnificent warm golden range of shades characteristic of nasturtium. The plant is unpretentious and even in cool summers can grow up to 3 m in length. Prefers sunny and warm areas.

The shoots are strewn with flowers, harmoniously combined with rounded bright green leaves. Experts recommend using it to decorate gazebos, since nasturtium is a natural remedy for annoying insects.

What to choose?

When choosing climbing flowers (photos and names of the most popular ones are presented above) for your garden, first of all compare the possibilities with the goals. If you want to get curvy green carpet, decorated with flowers, in a short time, then resort to annual plants. They will literally weave around a gazebo or fence before our eyes, at the same time hiding all the defects of the site. If you are planning to arrange a place to relax for a long period, then it makes sense to think about perennial climbing flowers. They will grow longer, but the annual question of what to plant this time will disappear.

When leaning towards choosing one option or another, you need to take into account some nuances in advance. Thus, climbing plants, such as campsis, do not require special support. They will climb perfectly on their own along walls made of stone or brick.

Clinging garden plants such as sweet peas will benefit from thin trellises or stretched wires for their delicate tendrils to cling to.

For supporting vines (wisteria, honeysuckle) you will need to build trellises or arches, pergolas. They cannot gain a foothold on a vertical surface on their own, but they wrap around it very tightly and tightly. Poluliana, in particular climbing roses, require not only supports, but also additional fastening and garters.
