Every person who lives in his house or has a country house, dreams of a beautiful garden with wonderful flowers. Landscaping is an unsustainable and unpredictable process. Many take this very seriously and carefully select plants for their garden. Digitalis is considered one of the magnificent flowers. Planting and caring for it are quite easy, and, in general, it is unpretentious. In fact, it is a drought-tolerant plant that loves the sun and slightly loosened earth. If you plant a flower in the shade or in a place where water stagnates and moisture is retained, digitalis may not bloom at all or spoil only a couple of “cubs”.
The digitalis plant loves fertile, loose and permeable soil. With good care and removal of faded elements, new leaves will appear in their place, and the flower can bloom as soon as possible. The plant should be regularly fertilized with humus, fed with mineral additives and dig up the soil up to 30 cm in depth. But the main thing is not to overdo it and not harm digitalis. When it grows and becomes a completely “adult” plant, its roots are slightly exposed, then it is necessary to sprinkle them with compost or nutritious soil. In addition, this will provide the flower with a successful wintering and future growth.
Basically, the plant is grown for a year or two, no longer at risk. In gardens, digitalis is a success, propagated by seeds and has many species (purple, rusty, yellow, large-flowered, and so on). The flower must be regularly weeded, fertilized and cut off faded inflorescences. The digitalis, the planting and care of which is quite simple, can vypryvat in the winter due to the overdevelopment of the leaf outlet. Flower seeds are harvested as the boxes mature. There are a lot of them, but the highest quality are in the lower flowers. When the fruit has separated from the stem - it's time to harvest a "crop" (do not be afraid, they do not crumble for a while). After collecting, the seeds need to be decomposed and dried, and then soaked and cleaned from the bolls.
A digitalis plant, the planting of which has no particular difficulties, prefers partial shade. In the open sun it grows very well, but the flowers themselves will often and quickly crumble, in addition, they can be faded and not lush. They plant the plant in the spring, and in the fall they nourish and cut dry, unnecessary parts abundantly. It is advisable to select the soil of medium degree of fertility, without stagnation of water and excessive moisture. A digitalis flower, the planting and care of which only requires compliance with certain rules, is unpretentious and will delight the eyes of every person, because it tolerates the planting remarkably, is accepted and grows great next year.
The plant is used in medicine (but if used for personal purposes, it can harm a person, as it is poisonous). The flower perfectly fills the void and easily decorates any landscape design. Digitalis, the planting and care of which is simple, is a fairly tolerant plant, which is why it is very popular.
