July does not allow either the gardener or the florist to relax. I am glad that the garden smells of the most incredible colors of flowering plants. And in order for the flowering to continue, you need to help your favorite flowers a little.
July is the top of summer and the flowering time of many perennial flowers. Delphinium, carnation, cornflower, bells, liatris and many others are in bloom.
At this time, it is necessary to monitor the moist and loose state of the soil, remove growing weeds, cut off the fading shoots of perennials. In the last ten days of the month, you can feed the flowers for the last time, completing the feeding with fertilizers and infusions from organic matter.
Irises are fading. July is the best time to transplant and divide them. The plants are dug up, shaken off the soil, the leaves are shortened, leaving about 10 cm from the base, and the roots are cut. In this form, the irises are dried for several days and planted. It is important that sand is placed under the rhizome and the growth bud is above the soil level. By September, the planted plants take root.
Roses bloom in July. To maintain their lush flowering, you should continue to carry out liquid fertilizing, alternating organic matter and mineral water. Rose bushes are extremely responsive to foliar spraying with macro- and microelements.
In July, a suitable time comes for grafting cuttings, stonecrops, carnations, rejuvenated, shaved, gypsophila. Young side shoots are cut off, leaving the top pair of leaves, and planted in wet sand in a greenhouse or under a glass jar. After a week, the cuttings begin to take root and in August or spring they can be planted in a permanent place.
Phlox paniculata are gaining momentum in their flowering. It is imperative to water them, especially in dry weather, to feed them, because they will delight with flowering until autumn.
Blooming daylilies and lilies do not need much care. Only it is necessary to carry out watering if there is no rain.
In July, chrysanthemums should be fed and watered in the heat, to prevent the leaves from wilting.
