Gardeners are often referred to as Szillla "Favorite Weed". These flowers from the family of hyacinth are widespread, because perfectly adapt to various conditions. In addition, they grow well and multiply in shady places, differing frost resistance and beautiful appearance.

Linear crush leaves, blizzard blossoms. Flowers blue, purple, white or pink; They are collected in inflorescences or are located singly. Bright flowers STIls give the flower bed a special unique view.

Word SCILLA Translated from the ancient Greek means "sea onions". Numerous types of scilla are rude in Europe and Asia.

Most often in the gardens there are prolesk Siberian (Scilla Sib.e.rica) Which has short-line roasting bright green leaves. This is a plant with bright blue flowers, blooming in mid-April.

It is less common to be amazingly beautiful "Alba" with snow-white flowers.

The most abundant and low-spirited from the prolee - a two-inclusive prolester (SCILLA.b.iFOLIA) -posses, in addition, a strong pleasant aroma. The flowers can be blue, pink or white, and their number in inflorescence ranges from 3 to 15 pieces.

Szill blooms in April Following the melting of snow for 15-20 days, and the buds together with leaves appear two weeks earlier. Her small flowers, similar to drooping bells, are collected by 20-30 pieces on a flower.

Growing

In one place, the scilla grown 5-6 years. During this time, they grow greatly and give a large number of flowers, which creates a decorative effect. All szillles are very good for spring small bouquets. They are suitable for pastures, especially for the new year, which is especially valuable for gardeners.

The bulb of the scilla is Broad-shaped, with a diameter of 2-3 cm. For the season, the maternal bulb forms 3-5 kids. A year later, young bulbs form floral arrows, and at a biennium are suitable for pastures.

Landing. Scylla easily tolerates a transplant even during flowering. However, it is necessary to harvest the bulbs during the yellowing of the leaves, but to plant in the ground at the end of August - early September.

The plant is winter-hardy, winter without shelter, but grows in open places, so it is still better to hide it for the winter.

Growing conditions. The proleski love shady places, but at the illuminated areas grow no worse. The soil prefers loose, wet and fertile, but can also grow on heavy soils with the addition of humus in sites with a small shading. Perhaps the only thing that the prolester will not be able to adapt is to sour swammed soil. If the earth suits her, dozens of years will grow in one place.

Reproduction. Schills are well multiplied by seeds. Immediately after cracking the seed boxes (approximately at the end of the first decade of July), the seeds must be collected and immediately sow in the ground, because They extremely quickly lose their germination. Moreover, the prolesk give abundant self-sackers, so in good conditions Quite quickly apply to the garden. When cultivating, the seeds in flower beds are necessary to remove the seeds in a timely manner, without giving seeds to spread.

Easily multiplies with scill and egg-shaped bulbs. For this they are searched in the second half of summer. The bulbs form up to 4 blooms up to 15-18 cm long.

To transplant and divide the prolesta not earlier than 3 years after landing, while it is possible to transplant them and during flowering, harm from this plant will not be none, the main thing is not to cut the roots. When disembarking, try to observe the recommended distance of 5-6 centimeters.

The most optimal time for planting the prolel - after moving the leaves, so you will avoid even a small risk, calendar time - usually June or the beginning of July.

Care. Prolesta is unpretentious, do not require special care. So that they are better than blooming, in early spring, they must be filled with nitroposka. After irrigation, the Earth should be kept to a depth of 2-2.5 cm and to inspire with deciduous humus.

Using prolel in garden design

High decorativeness allows you to widely use Scylla in different types Flower decoration. Blooming one of the first, they will decorate the garden after the winter. The proleski grow very quickly and form beautiful blue curtains under the trees or on lawns, which are wonderfully combined with the curtains of white snowdrops and early yellow crocuses.

The proleski is completely indispensable on the Alpine slides, perfectly harmonize with stones, therefore, like many wounds Meltelukovic, they are planted in stony gardens. You can also land them with groups on the lawn, in Rabatki, borders, mixboraders, and even in the priority circles of fruit trees.

Especially good blooming scilla in conjunction with other perennials, such as peonies, when the leaves still did not have time to turn around. Often, the recrees are used in the cut, for the compilation of spring bouquets.

Examination of prolesta

Szillos are suitable for pastures. To do this, it is necessary to put them in a pot in the fall, compensating in each two or three pairs of plants, and put in a dark and cool place where there is no negative temperature even in winter (in the basement). In February, the pots should be transferred to the windowsill or in a different bright place with a temperature of about 12 ° C.

Prolesta or Szillla bulb perennial, represents the family of sparky, previously Lily. About 90 species grow in the world, the birthplace of the plant is Europe, Africa and Asia. From ancient Greek title translated as a sea bow. Also these flowers are popular under a different name Blue Snowdrop.

The shoots reach 12-25 cm. The foliage is wide, linear collected in a squat beam appears at one time with inflorescences. It has color from blue to purple. Flowers small have chicken inflorescences, sometimes single. Stage of flowering in April, and some varieties of Ossennetsnets.

Survised flower types of prolesta include:

  • Spanish (cylindrical-bell-shaped flowers, blue, white, pink-purple. Blossom in June. Has many garden Forms. Can be used in winter time for pasture.);

  • Siberian (buds white color They grow up simultaneously with the leaves, reach 10-12 cm).

Below will look at the Siberian Siberian: how to put and care for her.

Reproduction and landing.

Diseases and pests.

Like anyone bulbous plant subjected to such diseases like bully and gray Gnil. The affected plants are destroyed. Plant pests are rodents (field mice) that damage the bulbs. For prophylaxis, it is recommended to dig around the color of the ditches in which the poison is placed with the bait and cover the ground. The defeat of a meadow tick is not excluded, because of which the bulb rotates and dry out. For the prevention and destruction in this situation, the spraying of the szill and its bulbs will help in insectoacaricide drugs.

Scylla or prolesta is a bright spring aurora, gentle and elegant, it will decorate any flower composition. Szillla refers to melluccical plants, from the Sparazhev family, but quite recently it was counted for the family of hyacinth, and lily. Scill grows on the meadows and in the forests, covering the terrain of the bright blue "carpet." The flower is stable, has exceptional survivability and will become a bright, decorative element on any flowerbed.

Schill landing: When, how and where to plant?

Often, the newcomer flower faces problems: the time of planting Szillla, searching for a suitable site for planting the prolesta, with care difficulties. However, the cultivation of the scilla will not be difficult, the main thing to comply with the elementary rules of care and landing technology.

Schill has about 20 species, however, for any variety of prolesta, the optimal set of cultivation conditions described below will suit.

Szillla Plant is a light-chapter, winter-hardy and unpretentious, like all Melcukovic. It does not require annual digging and transplantation, storage outside the soil and abundant irrigation. In order for the recreation to develop and abundantly blooming is enough to simply choose the most comfortable place for it.

When choosing a site for the landing of the Szillla, pay attention to the windless and heated by the sun, with variable solar activity.

Since Szill is still a "forest flower", the soil prefers the light, enriched, with good aeration. A place under the trees or near shrubs is quite suitable.

Scill reacts negatively to acidic and wetlands, does not tolerate heavy soils. If the soil of your site does not meet the elementary requirements for growing plants, you can always enrich it with peat and compost, drain sand and seedrates, cushioned.


Landing the spring Szillo in open soil, like all Meltelukovic, should be made from autumn. And varieties of prolesta, flowering in summer And in the fall, land over a month and a half before the alleged flowering. Prolesta is perfectly protected with other spring flowers, on the flower bed gets around with all representatives vegetable world, and if there is snowdrops or crocuses between the scilla, bright contrast and admiring views will be provided with your site.

Szillus breeds vegetatively and seeds, forming both a seed box after flowering and children. If you decide to sow Szill, note that blooming will come no earlier than the flower forms viable bulging.

Saving seeds of the Szillo produces in spring, in warm soil, so that the seedlings go to winter and gained strength to winter. Sevings are made to a depth of 6-8 cm., Flowering the prolesca with such a landing scheme will begin not earlier than 3-4 years.

The breeding of children occurs differently, the maternal bulb forms a separate little bulb in the growing season of about 0.5-1 cm, which is ready to land on a new place in a year.

The transplant of the children of Szilllas is produced a year after the formation, carefully separating them from the mother's bulb, and placing a depth of 8 cm in the prepared wells.

How to care for scilla? Correct care - the key to a successful flower

The unpretentious plant of scill does not require painstaking care. The prolesta is resistant to low temperatures, stealingly tolerates short-term freezing, is not susceptible to diseases of garden colors (with the exception of root rot).

However, to let any flowering process on its plot still do not stand. For bright and abundant flowering, prolesk needed watering and feeding, like any other, self-respecting plants.


Watering should be rare, but abundant, and at the beginning of the growing season and are not needed at all, the abundance of snow will do its job, and moves a proless. The overalling for the Szill flower is detrimentally, in that it can trigger the maidening of the bulbs and the death of the plant, so make sure that the water in the site is not forced and in time, organize plums, and to prevent stagnation of water, before melting snow, detect the section from snow cover.

If your soil is exhausted on the site, make phosphorus-potash fertilizers, nitrogen, compost, ammonium nitrate. It should be done during flowering and before the plant will release its first bloomon. The main thing is to avoid burn, fertilizer must be made under the root, not shedding on the flower.


In the dying of the scill does not need, and weighing plants It was not yet shown, so the manual weeding is carried out as weed increases.

If you do not want Scylla to grow in geometric progression, capturing the entire area, the seed boxes are better to climb immediately, as they are called.

After flowering, dried blossoms and leaves are cut, and in order to avoid the drainage of the soil and bulbs, in the late autumn, the sequel landing plot is covered with mulch or snapper.
