September growers are loved by gardeners, because this perennial herbaceous plant reproduces very well and does not require special care. They grow wildly: although they are small, but there are a lot of them on the bush, that's why the blooming September flowers, star flowers look luxurious, and hordes of bees and bumblebees always swarm above them.
Outwardly, the flower of the september is reminiscent of a small daisy or aster. This plant belongs to the Astrov family, its name is Aster perennial (Astra perennial). There are varieties of septemberins high, above 1 m, and curbs - from 30 cm.
Gorgeous curb septemberinki. These flowers are used to create decorative fences along the paths. In spring, the bushes quickly grow, gradually forming a dense green mass. Closer to the fall, they begin to blossom together. If the bushes are separate, then they are covered with a bright hat.
Even more interesting are the September flowers, growing in stripe along the track. The wide continuous bright tape looks simply magnificent! Flowering continues until November. During the summer, the bushes grow in breadth twice. Amazing September skins are not afraid of frosts and in the spring give new shoots.
By dividing the bushes in the fall or spring, the Septembrils are propagated. Flowers begin to grow with the awakening of nature, so it is better to carry out this operation after all in the spring. With an autumn transplant, plants may not have time to take root before the cold weather and die.
After digging a bush, divide it into parts. The main thing is that each has several living sprouts. Digging the land for planting on a bayonet shovels and necessarily fertilize, because in one place the Septembrils without transplanting grow for about 6 years. They love sunny areas, but feel good in partial shade.
Sepabrins grow very quickly, so the bushes should be planted at some distance from each other: the border varieties are about 25 cm, and tall - 45 cm. These flowers are unpretentious and do not require frequent watering. If watering is rare, the bushes will be shorter. Overgrown plants should be rejuvenated so that they do not degenerate: dig, divide into parts, and plant.
The weak point for the september is their defenselessness against a disease such as powdery mildew. Small leaves of the plant are covered with a bluish bloom. You can fight this scourge, but using copper-containing chemicals. Twice a season, it is advisable to apply fertilizer under the bushes of the september.
Perennial asters bloom amazingly. The most popular and often found in the front gardens are lilac and pink, a little less often are white, blue, purple. The raspberry flowers of the septemberinka are still exclusive in our gardens. The photos represent the various species of perennial aster encountered.
Sepabrins are one of the latest flowers in the garden, delighting us with their flowering when yellow leaves are already falling from the trees. Tall varieties are good in the bouquet. Flowers should be cut early in the morning or in the evening, when there is enough moisture in them. The undersized septembers in the bouquet do not stand for a long time, it is better to leave them in the flowerbed and enjoy the lively beauty.
