Types and varieties of Armeria

No wonder that an army is called a wild bearded carnation, there is a certain similarity.

It is also called the sea flower, since it is the sea coast, even the rocky one, that serves this culture as a fertile medium for growth.

There are a great many varieties of it, about 90. But in Russia, certain famous varieties are especially popular.

Alpine

Under natural conditions, the alpine army lives on mountain slopes and is compact in size.

This perennial culture is very common here. Gentle pink flowers are combined with landscape design with almost any neighbors in the world of gardening. A short stem up to 15 cm tall with long peduncles up to 30 cm allows using this species as decorative borders. There are varieties with white (Alba), carmine-pink (Rosea) and carmine-red (Laucheana) flowers.

It blooms from early to late summer. Other names for this species are Louisiana, pseudo-armeria.

Shaggy

Perhaps the only type of Armeria that winter, even warm, without help, does not tolerate, the bushes need to be covered for the cold period. But in the summer the plant can bloom so abundantly that it is not even visible foliage. Known varieties with terry purple (Brno) and pale pink (Bevan’s Variety) flowers.

The use of flower in landscape design

The culture is almost perfect for alpine slides and rock gardens. Everywhere, where there are cracks in the stone, the army can be planted, and the combination of gray and cold stone with bright double flowers will always be successful.

Armeria can often be surrounded by artificial reservoirs, grounds for a relaxing holiday, bordering beds of other cultures. In flowerbeds, the plant successfully coexists with the Carpathian bell and creeping phloxes.

Armeria inflorescences on long peduncles, cut before blooming and dried, are used to create winter bouquets of dried flowers.

Landing

Armeria breeds well by self seeding.

Like many similar cultures, the army can be planted in the open ground with seedlings or seeds.

Seedless way

Seed-planted plants are more viable, but do not always emerge after autumn planting.

To plant flower seeds should be in early spring or late autumn.

Autumn planting is preferable, since during the winter period the plant becomes fully adapted to the growing conditions. But it is beneficial only in the southern climate. Even in moderate sprouts may die due to return frosts.

For planting seeds, do the following:

1. First, organic fertilizers are applied to the soil in the form of peat or humus.
2. If the soil contains a lot of lime, it is poured over diluted acetic acid.
3. Seeds are planted in the wells at a distance of 15 cm from each other.
4. After falling asleep the wells are watered with warm water.
5. On top of the flower bed or bed sprinkled with small pebbles or stones.

Seedling method

Shoots of Armeria appear within 2-3 weeks

This method of planting is particularly suitable for the seaside variety:

1. Seeds are sown in a nutrient solution for several hours before planting.
2. About a week before the procedure, the ground is crushed, organic is introduced.
3. Landing is made in peat pots.
4. Planted sparsely, seeds have good germination.
5. When two leaves appear, sprouts are seated.
6. Watering should not be abundant, but moisture should be constantly present.
7. Before planting, it is recommended to put the pots on the balcony, loggia, into the yard during the day so the sprouts will be hardened.
8. Planting in the open ground is made at the end of May, preferably on sunny areas, it is better not to plant flowers near the fences.
