Hello to all
October is in the courtyard, which already shows that it is the autumn month) And how is your weather?) I watch many people with warmth and the sun is shining) and someone also has cold and rain ..... Many flowers still firmly accept the whole blow on yourself, but still please you with your presence!) One of the most persistent can be called Anafalis. I really like this wonderful plant. It looks like a dried flower. Its white fluffy inflorescences, it is simply impossible to pass by.
Beautiful, decorative, perennial plant from the family Astrovye. Its homeland is considered North and East Asia, can also be found in the Far East and North America. Total genus includes about 35 species. But we use only four. We have this plant is not a frequent visitor to the gardens, but in vain! After all, its simplicity in care, unpretentiousness, fancy look that will decorate any flower bed, it can give time to any other ornamental plant.
The height of these bushes literally 50-60 cm. When the plant grows it looks like a big white balloon! Abundant flowering can be observed from June until the very cold. As a florist, I love to use this beautiful dried flower in my bouquets! One anafalis branch will give volume and a very interesting look.
His little leaves look like needles. Of an elongated shape, from the side it may seem like a white sputter. This variety is called pearl. Thanks to its thin leaves, moisture evaporates less, due to this, all the power goes to the inflorescences. Such an elegant, white frame and inside is like a yellow pearl. When you touch them, it seems that the flowers are like dry and not real. But this is just such a feature)))
Many even confuse it with the immortelle, but unlike the immortelle it still needs to be dried, moreover, correctly. Propagated by seeds and cuttings. It takes root very quickly, and on any soil. I want to say at once that it is not worth watering this plant often, as the root system can rot very quickly. Watering is necessary only in very hot weather.
When choosing a place on your site, it is better to choose the sun, so the flowering will be more abundant. Although the plant does not feel bad in the shade. Fertilizers must be applied before planting. If possible, remove the weeds in time and loosen the soil. That's the whole care!
I hope you en
