Action - photo, description, planting and caring for the shrub

Another perennial plant that I would like to consider is rough action. It is a tree planting, which can be either evergreen or deciduous - everything will depend on the type and variety of planting. The plant belongs to the hydrangea family, which is why it is of particular interest. The genus combines about fifty different plant species that can be found in natural, natural conditions almost everywhere - in East Asia, Mexico or the Himalayas.

Deytion after flowering

Blooming action is a wonderful sight, pleasing to the eye for a long time, but in the end the flowering stops, and autumn comes, followed by winter very soon. Deytsia has a very low cold resistance. Since the action blooms on last year's shoots, it is they who are most important to protect from frost in winter, otherwise the bush will lose its decorative effect for the whole next year. In areas that are characterized by snowy winters without severe frosts, it is enough just to bend the bush to the ground.

• Statitsa (kermek): growing from seeds, planting and care

Planting and caring for the action in the suburbs or other areas with cold winters includes all of the listed and described items, and nevertheless differs somewhat from caring for a plant in the southern regions, because the frosty winters of the middle zone require mandatory shelter during wintering. And if your winters are frosty, but snowless, you will need more serious measures to protect the shrub from the cold than snow.

One of these reliable methods is an air-dry shelter, which is used in preparation for the winter of hydrangeas: the bush is laid on the ground, a frame is erected above it, on which dry leaves are poured or spruce branches are thrown, the frame is covered with lutrasil on top, and a plastic wrap is placed on top of it. so that moisture cannot get inside the frame. This method is suitable for sheltering young bushes, the branches of which can be easily bent to the ground.

Adult bushes are tied with twine or twine, and wrapped on top with breathable material, for example, spunbond, burlap or lutrasil - this will keep warm under the shelter and will not allow the kidneys to dry out.

Wintering Deytsii

Bubbles, decorative varieties, photos, description, growing conditions, care

Since Deytsia blooms on last year's shoots, it is very important to preserve them until next spring. In regions dominated by snowy winters, it is enough to bend the branches to the ground

In frosty and snowless times, you will need to create additional protection for the plant. The most common is the air-dry method of shelter, which consists of a frame built over a bush and filled with spruce branches, dry leaves, and other improvised material. From above, this shelter is covered with a film or a layer of lutrasil to create additional protection against moisture and frost.

However, this kind of shelter is only suitable for a young plant that does not exceed 1 meter in height. Since at this age the shrub bends well, an adult plant, whose height is more than 2 meters, breaks easily. In this case, the Action must be tied and carefully wrapped in any airtight material.

This method will perfectly protect the plant from destructive frosts, prevent damping out, which is destructive for the shoots, and keep the necessary warmth around. You can learn more about the action by watching the video.

How to plant an action

Planting action is carried out according to certain rules. The action should grow no closer than 250 cm from any other object, be it a building or another plant, since an adult bush takes up a lot of space. Dig a hole 40-50 cm deep, place there a drainage layer in the form of broken brick or sand, lower the roots of the seedling into the hole, then fill it with the soil mixture described in the previous section, to which you should also add 100-125 g of nitrophosphate. The root collar of the seedling should be at the level of the soil surface or 1-2 cm below the ground. After planting, the soil is tamped and watered, and the branches of the seedling are shortened to 3-5 buds on each shoot to stimulate tillering. The plot is mulched with a layer of peat 5 cm thick.

Landing

The plant cannot be called unpretentious: it does not like waterlogging, it is afraid of cold winds and low temperatures. Among the positive agrotechnical characteristics, drought resistance can be distinguished.

It is best to plant shrubs in open ground in spring.

Planting is best done in spring, after the final retreat of night frosts, when the buds on the trees have not yet opened.

Choosing a landing site

The plant will feel best on the southwestern slopes, rather gentle, which in cold winters are covered with a dense layer of snow. It is better to choose a site for planting that is shaded, without direct sunlight, protected from wind and drafts. Groundwater should run no higher than at a depth of 2.5–3 meters.

The shrub must be planted at a considerable distance from other plants and structures.

Loose, fertile soil, with an obligatory drainage layer, is ideal for an oriental beauty. You can make a neutral or slightly acidic soil with such characteristics yourself by mixing two parts of compost soil and humus with one part of sand.

How to land correctly

You need to plant shrubs one by one, at a distance of at least 2 meters from each other, other plants, buildings and obstacles. The depth of the landing hole is quite large - not less than 50 cm in depth and the same in width and length.

At the bottom of the hole, you need to pour drainage (sand, broken brick, expanded clay will do), 250 gr. lime or wood ash. If homemade soil is used, then the size of the hole should be increased by 30-40 cm.

The plant takes root well in the open field in central Russia

Before planting, seedlings with an open root system are placed in a solution of Kornevin or any other drug to stimulate root growth for 24 hours. Directly in place, the roots are straightened. If a plant is planted with an earthen lump, then its lower part needs to be slightly broken and the roots straightened.

To transport seedlings without an earthen clod to the planting site, wrap the lower part with thick paper or newspapers.

After filling the trunk, the root collar of the bush should protrude above the ground or be at a maximum depth of 1–2 cm below ground level. After planting, the soil should be watered with a bucket of water and tamped, the trunk circle should be mulched with a layer of peat 5–7 cm.

How to choose a good seedling

When choosing between purchased seedlings in containers or with an open root system, preference should be given to the latter, since they can easily assess the condition of the plant.

When buying container seedlings, it is difficult to assess the condition of the root system.

Another argument in favor of the decision is the lower cost of such a planting material compared to a container specimen. Before planting, the shrubs are cut off from dried shoots and the roots are shortened to 40 cm.

If, after buying a young bush, it turned out that its roots are overdried, the plant can be reanimated by immersing for 2-3 hours in a mixture of clay, water and mullein with the addition of a weak solution of manganese.

Outdoor care

The activities are simple, the action requires less attention than the capricious Azalea or the beautiful Wisteria. The following describes the features of the main argotechnical procedures.

Watering

Water is added to the soil from spring to the end of August. The creation of a layer of mulch is an event due to which the amateur florist forgets about the problem of drying out the soil.

In the absence of heat, the bush is watered once every two weeks, about a bucket of water. In July, the amount of liquid is increased to two buckets at a time; in a very hot time, the action is watered every week. It is useful to loosen the soil (up to 15 cm), remove weeds along the way. Renew the mulch periodically.

Top dressing and fertilization

Regular application of nutrient organic substances is carried out during flowering: it is useful to add 3 liters of diluted manure per plant. Top dressing is performed on a cool day, in the morning or in the evening.

Twice a season, the soil is necessarily fertilized with complex mineral mixtures with potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, magnesium and other ingredients. For each bush, 120 g of granules are enough. Water the plants well before feeding.

Action rough description

The shrub grows about 2 meters. It blooms in small flowers that gather in large inflorescences. Some of them can be up to 15 centimeters in diameter.

In Russia, Deytsia is popular because it does not require special care and is beautiful enough to give her a place in the garden. The shrub blooms in late spring and lasts until mid-summer. An interesting feature of this plant is that its flowers do not smell. They will decorate your site, but they will not clog the scent of your favorite flowers.

When Deytsia blooms, its leaves are completely hidden behind the flowers. It seems that the bush is completely woven from some flowers. The shrub loves a place where there is a lot of sun. You can plant a plant to decorate gazebos, recreation areas or terraces. Action grows well both alone and in group compositions. The hedge from this plant looks interesting.

The variety of varieties makes it possible to choose a plant with flowers that suit you completely. How Deytsia looks like a rough planting and leaving photos can be seen on forums, websites for summer residents and on social networks. This shrub will look great both in the country and on the site of a country house.

Shelter action for the winter

Taking into account the fact that the action is a rather winter-hardy plant, by winter it should be covered with a light dry leaf, forming a layer of 10-20 cm. It will not be difficult to bend the shoots of low specimens to the ground, while with tall actions, the situation is more difficult. At the end of autumn, the bushes are tightly tied with a suitable breathable material (for example, synthetics used in sugar bags), while the leaves that have not yet fallen play the role of an additional cover. With this not labor-intensive method, almost complete preservation of the bushes is achieved even in frosts down to -30 C.

Protection from pests and diseases

Parasitic insects rarely attack shrubs.Sometimes flower growers are faced with the settlement of the bumblebee proboscis and aphids. Fitoverm, Karbofos, Aktara and other insecticides are used to destroy pests. Before spraying the bush, be sure to wear gloves, a respirator, trousers, a shirt, a cap, closed shoes, and plastic glasses. Contact with chemical particles must not be allowed: intoxication often develops.

Plants rarely get sick. With excessive watering, rotting, the development of fungal flora is possible. The main methods of treating the bush: normalize watering, loosen the soil more often, take into account the air temperature when choosing the frequency and volume of liquid when moistening the substrate. The soil and plants are treated with modern fungicides.

Popular varieties

The rough action has several decorative forms:

• terry (has double flowers of a pink hue);
• white (blooms with double white flowers);
• Vaterera (flowers inside are white and red-coral outside);
• pink double (double flowers of pink shades) - this is the most frost-resistant type of deytion;
• white-point (leaves are covered with small white blotches).

Did you know? Opener of action

— Karl Thunberg named it after the scientist John van Deitz, who sponsored one of his eastern expeditions.

Candidissima

A shrub up to 3 m high, covered with dense double snow-white flowers, which are collected in large paniculate (12 cm) inflorescences. Blooms in June - July. Leaves are dark green in color. To achieve maximum decorative effect, the bush must be planted in partial shade on fertile soils of moderate humidity. Requires shelter for the winter, as it can freeze out in a snowless winter. Snow-white action looks great in single or longline plantings.

Captivity (Plena) or terry

A meter-long bush with straight shoots is covered with dense double bell-shaped clusters. Inside the flowers are white, outside they are covered with pink stripes. The size of each bell is about 2 cm. The leaves are rough, dark green in color. Blooms from late June to mid-July.

It feels best in the light or in light partial shade. Loves fertile, moderately moist soils. Despite the fact that the action is cold-resistant, it prefers shelter for the winter. In the landscape it is used as a specimen, it looks spectacular on the lawn.

Important! Not all types of action have decorative properties. Of its 50 types, only a few are suitable for decorative design of plots.

.

Pride of Rochester

It features an umbrella-shaped crown up to 2 m high. Blooms in June - July, white with a pink tint, abundant paniculate inflorescences, consisting of small flowers. Prefers nutritious, slightly moistened soil with a slightly alkaline reaction. The bush is very hardy at -35 ° C. Only young plants need to be sheltered for the winter. This variety is more drought-resistant and more adapted to the polluted environment of megacities than others.

Whitest

This is the most beautiful hybrid with a height of 2 m. Peduncles 10–12 cm in size consist of large (up to 3 cm) white flowers. It has a good life expectancy - 50 years. Leaves are dark green up to 8 cm long. The plant prefers a fertile soil composition, openwork partial shade, moderate humidity and shelter of young bushes for the winter.

Types and varieties of action

Among cultivated species and varieties of action, there are more or less in demand. We will introduce you to most of them, and it is up to you which species or variety to prefer.

Deutzia amur, or small-flowered (Deutzia amurensis)

Distributed in the Far East, North Korea and China. In Russia, it is protected in several reserves. It grows in oak and coniferous-deciduous forests, it is found even at an altitude of 1400 m above sea level. It is a deciduous shrub up to two meters high with a spreading bush. The brown bark of the branches turns gray with age.Leaves are opposite, elliptical, up to 6 cm long, wedge-shaped at the base and pointed to the apex, finely serrate, pubescent on both sides, in spring and summer ash-green or bright green, yellow-brown or ocher in autumn. Multi-flowered corymbose inflorescences up to 7 cm in diameter consist of white flowers devoid of aroma.

Flowering lasts three weeks, starting at the end of June. Nondescript fruits of dirty yellow color are almost spherical capsules. This type of action is hygrophilous, photophilous, resistant to smoke, gases and drought, grows quickly and begins to bloom early.

Deutzia graceful (Deutzia gracilis)

Originally from the mountains of Japan, it is small in stature - from 50 cm to one and a half meters, the shape of the bush is round, branches are thin, arched, abundant flowering. Leaves are oblong-lanceolate, elongated and pointed towards the apex, with an unequal serrate edge, up to 6 cm long, light green. On the underside of the plate, the leaves are glabrous, and on the upper side, they are covered with stellate hairs. White flowers, collected in erect multi-flowered racemes up to 9 cm long, open in mid-July and bloom for about 35 days.

Deutzia scabra

In the wild, it grows in China and Japan. It is a shrub up to 2.5 m high, very graceful, with reddish or brown bark, which peels off over time, elongated dull green leaves 3 to 8 cm long, pubescent with small stellate hairs, which makes the leaves rough. This species blooms later than all others. Flowering slightly pinkish or white racemose inflorescences up to 12 cm long lasts two to three weeks. The rough action has various decorative forms:

• terry - double flowers, pink outside, white inside;
• pure white - with double white flowers;
• Vaterera - with white flowers on the inside and carmine flowers on the outside;
• pink-double - the most frost-resistant form with pink double flowers;
• white-point - with small white specks on the leaves.

Deutzia magnifica

It is a hybrid between rough action and Vilmoren action, which is an erect shrub up to 2.5 meters high. Its leaves are oblong-ovate. The flowering of white double flowers, collected in large umbellate panicles up to 10 cm long, is so abundant that the shoots of the plant bend arcuate under their weight. Flowering begins in July and lasts about three weeks. The action is magnificent - one of the most beautiful views.

Long-leaved action (Deutzia longifolia)

Shrub from one to two meters in height with pubescent shoots and finely toothed dark green on the upper side and grayish-green from the pile on the lower side leaves up to 12 cm long.Pink-lilac, and purple flowers in the buds up to 2.5 cm in diameter bloom in the second half of July. There is a long-leaved variety of Veitch, in which the flowers have a darker shade.

Reproduction

The action shrub has several methods for breeding a highly ornamental crop on the site. Growing from seeds is a long-term method that growers rarely use. You should not wait three to four years for an adult plant to form; it is easier to use one of the methods of vegetative propagation.

On a note:

• deytsiya Amur and rough give strong root layers, which are dug up and planted in a suitable area. It is useful to regularly water and fertilize young elements. Biostimulants for plants improve the survival of young bushes of action: preparations Zircon, Fitosporin, Epin. Processing is carried out according to the instructions;
• many species reproduce by cuttings. First, two or three young, strong shoots are selected, shallow pits are dug, the elements are neatly bent down, placed in prepared holes, well sprinkled with earth, fixed with pegs. For early rooting and nutrition, it is useful to add a little organic matter to each hole.The rooting zone is looked after: watered, make sure that weeds do not grow, feed with organic fertilizers (in moderation). The rooted cuttings are transplanted into a flowerpot, grown in gentle conditions. A mature plant is moved to an open area, into the garden, only in the second year;
• another uncomplicated method is rooting lignified cuttings. In autumn, cut off dense branches of optimal length (about 15 cm) so that each shoot has at least 3-4 buds. Before placing the cuttings in wet sand, check for damaged areas and traces of disease. Shoots are stored at a temperature of about zero degrees, do not allow freezing. In the spring, overwintered cuttings are planted in a mini-greenhouse, under a plastic bottle, the cut is pretreated with Kornevin or Fitosporin. To maintain the vitality of young plants, Zircon and Epin preparations are suitable. After rooting, the cuttings are grown at home. In the second year, the strengthened bushes, together with an earthen lump, are placed on the site. Also, green cuttings are used for vegetative propagation, but they are engaged in sprouting shoots in the spring, and not in the fall.

Reproduction in culture

Deutzia propagates by green and lignified cuttings, cuttings, root suckers, bush division, and seeds.
They start cutting green cuttings in June. Only large, well-developed shoots in a mature state are suitable for cuttings; they are cut off early in the morning. The stalk should be 10-15 cm long and have two internodes, large leaf blades are cut in half. The upper cut is made above the kidney, the lower cut obliquely. To accelerate root formation, you can use the root by dusting the lower end of the cutting with it. The box or flowerpot is filled with light nutrient soil, half mixed with river sand. A layer of sand 2-3 cm thick is poured on top. The cuttings are planted slightly obliquely, deepening into the ground by 0.5 cm. The boxes are placed in hotbeds and greenhouses, covered with plastic wrap. During the rooting period, cuttings need diffused light and high humidity, created, for example, by a fogging device or frequent spraying of plants. Before the cuttings are taken out into the garden, they are gradually hardened. To do this, the film is removed for a short time, then the frames of the greenhouse are slightly opened at night, and in cloudy weather even during the day. Rooted plants can be transferred to the ground, but in the first winter they need to be covered with a leaf or spruce branches. And in the spring they are planted for growing. Action can be propagated by lignified cuttings. Shoots are harvested during the dormant period of the plant, in late autumn. Cuttings are cut 15 - 25 cm long with three or five buds. They are collected in bunches of 10-15 pieces, tied and placed in wet sand, falling asleep almost completely. In this form, they are stored in basements until spring at temperatures close to zero. In the spring they are planted and raised like green cuttings.

In early spring or autumn, during the period of leaf fall, a heavily overgrown shrub is dug up and divided, together with the root system, into 2-3 parts, or the root suckers are separated. At the same time, old thickened branches are cut off. The planting material is not allowed to dry out and is planted in a new place as soon as possible.

Small seeds of action are sown superficially, lightly sprinkling with sand and pressing tightly with glass. During the period of seed germination, the soil is regularly watered, 2-3 times a day, using a watering can with a fine mesh or a sprayer, and make sure that the seeds are always covered. Seedlings appear in 1.5 months

Seedlings with developed leaves carefully dive into open ground

Transfer

The procedure is performed while the bush is young and the root system has not grown very much.Adult plants are also transplanted, but you will have to act very carefully: they carefully and deeply pry the underground part, after digging the plant along the perimeter of the crown projection. You can't rush: it is important to keep an earthen ball and damage as few fibrous roots as possible.

The action is transplanted only in the spring: it takes a period until autumn so that the shrub takes root well in the new area. Effective and safe biostimulants: Epin, Fitosporin, Zircon reduce the stress level during transplantation. Apply the funds according to the instructions: before or after transplantation, in optimal concentration.

Action graceful photo

Deutzia graceful is distinguished by its small size: from 0.5 to 1.2 m in height, neat bush shape and early, abundant flowering. Unlike other types of shrubs, the graceful deytion blooms already in the second year after planting. Its snow-white flowers are collected in graceful tassels, each of which contains from 40 to 50 flowers. A sort of small bouquets against the background of oblong-lanceolate light green leaves.

The graceful action is successfully used for the decoration of borders and tamping of the front part of the group planting of tall plants.

How to plant action bushes

The plant is fastidious, does not tolerate cold winds, an abundance of moisture and frosty season. Freezing temperatures below twenty-five degrees can destroy the plant, so it should hibernate with a high snow layer.

Choose a place carefully. The site needs a well-lit, protected from the wind, keep the interval between the bushes within one and a half to two meters. The soil needs loose and nutritious, well-drained soil.

It is better to prepare this composition:

- compost - 2 shares; - humus and sand - 2 to 1.

The landing hole is prepared to a depth of fifty centimeters. For the drainage layer, the bottom is sprinkled with sand. After that, wood ash and two hundred grams of lime are added to the hole. By following these recommendations, you will achieve abundant and beautiful flowering of the plant.

Planting care

You need to water the bushes of action three times a month, one bucket of water for each bush. The earth should then be thoroughly loosened. From mid-August, watering is stopped. When the rainy season comes, cover the bushes with waterproof material.

Feeding deucinia requires monthly. For this purpose, several liters of liquid manure are applied under the bush and superphosphate formulations (150 g) are added twice a season. Perform these procedures exclusively at the time of flowering of the plant.

Pruning and preparing for wintering

As soon as flowering is over, the action is cut off. She tolerates this procedure perfectly, while taking on the most various forms that we strive to achieve. Branches older than 4 - 6 years old are cut into a stump, from which lateral shoots will develop. Young twigs are simply trimmed to the desired shape.

To rejuvenate the bush, cut it completely into a stump. Having finished pruning, the plant is prepared for the winter season. The foot of the bush is covered with a large layer of foliage or coniferous branches. After the snow falls, bend the branches of the bushes to the surface of the ground and sprinkle them with a layer of snow as a safety measure.

Varieties of action

There are many varieties - about five dozen.

Here are some of the most common:

graceful

- not large in size, neat in shape with abundant flowering, which comes quite early. In the second year of growth, it is able to bloom. Used to decorate borders;

purple

- up to two meters high, with flexible shoots. The foliage is broad-lanceolate;

pink

- a hybrid combination of purple and graceful. The undersized bush is no higher than a meter. Resistant to frosty weather;

large-flowered

- with dark green foliage and large flowers. Suitable for hedge decoration, as the height reaches two meters. It does not tolerate frost, therefore it is recommended for breeding in areas with a warm climate.

Reproduction methods

To do this, use - seeds, root shoots, layering and cuttings. Seeds are sown in the spring, while embedding in the soil is not needed - they are simply pressed tightly to it. In twenty days the first shoots will appear. They are highly sensitive and require care. For the winter, young seedlings are definitely sheltered. Cuttings are prepared from summer and planted in the soil. Their rooting rate is good.

The plant has rightfully become famous among gardeners. Action can be safely put on the same level with lilacs, hydrangeas and other similar plants.

Autumn care, shelter and wintering

After ripening (in the month of September), if necessary, collect dense seeds of a yellowish-brown hue. The procedure is rarely carried out: basically, the action is propagated in a vegetative way. The collected planting material is well dried, put in paper bags, stored in a room where there is no dampness and maintain a moderate temperature.

Action does not tolerate the cold season well, and without shelter, young shoots can freeze out. At the end of autumn, before the onset of frost, flexible branches are gently bent to the ground, fixed, covered with spruce branches. For young plants, it is useful to create an additional layer of fallen leaves, and only then cover the bushes with spruce branches. Before wintering, some gardeners cover the young ornamental shrub with modern agromaterial that retains heat, but lets air through.

In mature plants, it is not easy to bend branches to the ground without damaging the hollow shoots. Experienced flower growers advise wrapping heavily overgrown specimens with lutrasil, spunbod or burlap. At first, the branches are carefully collected together, not very tightly tied with twine, and only after that a protective "cocoon" of agromaterials is created. The use of modern coatings creates an optimal environment inside the shell, the kidneys do not rot from air deficiency.

Action care photo

Even an inexperienced gardener can take care of an Asian beauty. The list of main activities: • Watering. The action should not be overfilled - one or two buckets of water once a week will be enough for it. From the middle of August, watering of the bush is usually completely stopped. To prevent moisture from evaporating quickly, the earth around the trunk is mulched. • Loosening and weeding. To a depth of 20-25 cm, the soil around the action should be loosened after each watering. • Top dressing. In order for the bush to give you all its beauty, you need to feed it monthly. For this it is worth using liquid manure (3-4 liters).

Even during flowering, complex fertilizer can be applied once or twice. • Cropping. Leaving usually involves two pruning per season - at the beginning and at the end of the growing season. In the spring, before blooming, you should cut off all branches damaged by winter winds and frosts. In autumn, faded branches are cut off completely or leaving the very first bud. They also get rid of old branches and those that thicken the bush. Rejuvenation of the action is carried out by completely cutting off all branches to the base, but only in the case of a well-developed root system. • Shelter. Action is not highly frost-resistant, so it is important to take care of the protection of the kidneys in winter. So, in regions with not very fierce winters, it is enough to bend the branches of the bush to the ground.

In a more severe climate, this will not be enough, and you will need to build a frame over the bush, cover it with dry leaves, cover it with spruce branches and plastic wrap. If the branches do not bend well, they need to be tied together and wrapped in breathable material.

Action purple photo

Deytion purple, up to 2 meters high, has thin, flexible shoots, slightly pubescent.Flowers of all shades of purple, up to 2 cm in diameter, are collected in semi-umbellate baskets of 10-15 pieces each.

The leaves are broadly lanceolate, pubescent on both sides and finely serrated, serve as an excellent background for incredibly decorative inflorescences.

Botanical Description of Action

Deutzia is a perennial ornamental deciduous shrub from the Hortensia family. The height of the bush reaches up to 1.5 meters. The crown of the shrub is formed by erect and slightly curving, sometimes pubescent shoots.

Action has a feature that is characteristic of plants from the Hortensia family, this is the flaking of the bark. If you look closely at the plant, you can see how gray-brown shoots with thin sheets of bark hanging in rags are visible under the lace of the flowers. You should not worry about this - this is a normal property of mature branches.

Deytsia leaves are simple, opposite. They can have solid, serrated or serrated edges.

Flowers are collected in large inflorescences-balls or brushes, which are located on last year's branches. The color of the inflorescences, depending on the species, can be white, lilac, pink, purple; flowers - simple or double.

Action in landscape design

The luxurious look always attracts attention. A single bush with a spreading crown, shoots covered with multiple whitish-pink flowers - a spectacular highlight on the lawn, lawn, in the recreation area.

Deytsia is a great option for arranging a beautiful hedge on a plot. The shrub pleases with lush, bright greenery, and even outside the flowering period it looks identical and elegant. Low-growing varieties are a great decoration for an alpine slide.

Large-flowered action is a suitable species for creating group plantings. Against the background of lush greenery, single, snow-white flowers with a yellow center look great. The diameter of the buds is about 3 cm, but the number of flowers is less than that of Deutia graceful and they do not form lush inflorescences.

To create beauty in a summer cottage, near a shopping center, various institutions, many ornamental shrubs are suitable. It is no coincidence that action is considered one of the most spectacular plants for green decor. The photos show how beautiful the bushes look with drooping branches strewn with hundreds of white and pink flowers.

It is a low, about 1.5 m, deciduous shrub from the Hortensia family. A characteristic feature of action, characteristic of many hydrangeas, is the flaking of the bark. If you look closely, you can see gray-brown shoots with thin sheets of bark hanging in "rags" under the white lace of flowers. This is a normal property of mature shoots, not traces of a disease or pest. In the garden, the action looks good, for example, in a conspicuous place with evergreen rhododendron and terry kerria. They all bloom at the same time, and the action creates a neutral white transition between lilac and yellow flowers. In landscape design, a combination of action with decorative conifers is often used, and hedges are formed from tall varieties. Action is not afraid of exhaust gases, so it can be planted as a fence in areas adjacent to the road.

Deutzia shrub, cultivation

Landing

For planting action, they choose a place in the sun, although it feels good in partial shade, however, it does not bloom so abundantly

The soil must be constantly moist, it is important that it is permeable and rich in organic matter. Action seedlings are planted in early spring before the buds open, or in late autumn

If you purchase action seedlings with an open root system, then they should have branched shoots, on which there is no blossoming foliage. If there are late frosts in your area, then you need to grow a deytion shrub in partial shade in an area protected from the wind.

Before planting, the roots of the action must be placed in water for 24 hours. For planting, it is enough to dig a hole 60 cm deep and the same diameter. Before backfilling the roots of the plant, the excavated soil must be mixed with compost.

For a pit of this size, 1 bucket of compost or the same amount of humus will be enough. After backfilling with earth, we tie the plant to a wooden peg to protect it from the wind. Then water and mulch the soil abundantly.

Care

If there are fewer flowers on the shrub, this is a signal that it is time to do selective pruning of the shrub. Thinning and feeding with complex fertilizers will help to return the action to lush flowering. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering.

For short shrubs, pruning is done every 3 years. Cut old shoots right from the ground. Shoots of tall shrubs are cut in places where wilted inflorescences end. During dry periods, you need to ensure that the plant regularly receives moisture. To do this, you need to water the plant at least once a week.

Types, varieties

Tall species (about 3 meters high and above):

• deytion rough or star-shaped (Deutzia scabra) - flowers are white or pink, simple;
• deytion crenate (Deutzia crenata) - flowers are white or pink, simple. Terry flowers have varieties: "Plena" and "Candidissina";
• deytsiya magnificent or lush (Deutzia magnifica) - white double flowers.

Medium height actions (1 - 2 meters) are mainly hybrids:

• Deutzia hybrid (Deutzia x hibrida) is an erect shrub with pink flowers. Especially bright pink color in varieties: "Mont Rose", "Perle Rose" and "Jaconde";
• deytsiya elegant (Deutzia elegantissima) - flowers of pink shades on the shoots hanging down. Deutzia kalmiiflora with pinkish flowers differs little in appearance.

Low-growing actions (height from 0.5 to 1.0 m):

• graceful action (Deutzia gracilis) - luxuriously blooms in spring with white flowers;
• deytion pink (Deutzia x rosea) - luxuriantly decorated with pink flowers. The varieties “Grandiflora” and “Campanulata” became famous.

Usage and partners

There can be many options for using the action shrub in the garden.

During flowering, this plant will always be the most attractive, and play a major role in the ensemble. Low-growing species of action look very beautiful during flowering in a hedge.

Lilacs, spireas, colquitsia will help to add aroma to blooming compositions. Growing a deytion shrub in compositions will decorate the garden in early summer with a luxurious white-pink flowering and aroma. Video: Deutzia shrub, cultivation

Pruning

Action shrubs respond well to pruning, which, if necessary, is carried out in early autumn and spring. Autumn treatment stimulates tillering and abundant flowering.

The stems, on which there was flowering, are shortened by half or by a third, form a crown, depending on the desired size, thinned plantings are thinned out. Sanitary pruning in spring involves removing dry, weak, damaged and frozen shoots.

Over time, the bushes require rejuvenation. In this case, all branches are shortened almost to ground level. The procedure stimulates the growth of new basal (basal) shoots that develop rapidly.

Reproduction of action

The shrub reproduces well with semi-lignified cuttings 15-20 cm long, which are cut in July-August. Early morning is the best time for grafting. The cut should be just below the leaf bud. The leaves located near the cut are removed, leaving one or two pairs.

Action stalk

The cut is dipped in a special root stimulator powder. The rooting medium must be sterile, loose and well-drained. They are planted immediately in the garden in a shaded place, deepening about a third of their length into a mixture prepared from the same parts of peat and sand (perlite).

Planting a cuttings in the garden

The cuttings are watered and covered with a transparent bag or plastic bottle that will provide the necessary moisture

As rooting progresses, it is important not to allow the soil to dry out and periodically ventilate the greenhouse.

The beginning of new growth is a sign of rooting. The cover is removed, and with the onset of frost, they are insulated. Plants can be transplanted to a permanent, sunny location next spring.

In regions with very low temperatures, rooting of cuttings is carried out in a container, which is placed in the garden in a place with diffused light for summer and autumn.

With the onset of frost, the seedlings are brought into a cool room (insulated loggia, basement, veranda). Reduce watering, but do not allow the substrate to dry out.

In the spring, with the onset of swelling, the buds are grown in bright diffused light in cool conditions, and after the end of the last frost, the action is planted in open ground.

The second way of reproduction of action is rooting of lateral shoots, layers, which are tilted to the ground and covered with compost, leaving the end of the branch open. When the shoot takes root and sprouts new shoots, you can separate it from the mother plant and plant it in a new place.

Flowers

The action shrub is a genus with 60 species of flowering plants of the Hortensia family. The natural habitat of this genus is East and Central Asia (from the Himalayas east to Japan and the Philippines), Central America and Europe.Also, a huge number of plant species are observed in China (about 50 varieties). The deytsia flowers are named after the 18th century Dutch philanthropist and botanist Johann von der Deitz. The action shrub is a fairly new plant for modern gardens, the only exception is the action of scabra, which was seen in Japanese gardens by Enegelbert Kampfer and Karl Peter Thunberg. But in fact, this flower first appeared in Europe only after 1830, and two or three species, noted in the Royal Society of Gardeners, were collected from the wild only during the 20th century. The deytion shrub is grown as an ornamental plant due to its pink and white flowers. Many varieties and hybrids are also used for growing in the garden, including double-flowered variants: for example, lemon deutzia is a hybrid of gracilis and parviflora. Creating hybrids allows growers to reap more benefits - for example, one species with drought tolerance and even more fragrant flowers. Sometimes, without careful study, it is very difficult to understand which specific family a particular variety or hybrid belongs to. We bring to your attention a photo of the action and a detailed description of the planting and care process during the cultivation process. In addition, descriptions of the most popular varieties of action are offered, such as white and pink, hybrid and terry, rough, strobberry and pink pom pom.

Deuterium flowers are often used as a border plant because of their height. Some varieties of action are recommended for ground cover, for rock gardens, or simply for growing in containers and pots.

Description of the action and its photo
Deytsia is mainly a shrub, with a height of one to four meters. Most of them are deciduous, but some subtropical varieties can be evergreen. Leaves are opposite and with jagged edges. Look at the photo of the deytion shrub in the variety of varieties presented:

Action flowers grow in the form of a panicle or shield. The flowers are mostly white, but some varieties can be pink and red. They can be single with five petals or double with a large number of petals. They grow in loose clusters and bloom from late spring to early summer. Action is good because it does not cause allergies. Bushes that have a shredded bark produce small fruits in the form of a dry capsule containing numerous small seeds. Recognizing species is very difficult, often requiring knowledge of microscopic details, such as leaf structure and capsule seed structure. A non-flowering plant can be easily confused with a honeysuckle bush.

Action shrub care

Many varieties of action do not tolerate winter cold, therefore, the plant should be placed in a room well protected from drafts and frost. When nursing, the action plant is very patient with different types of soil and water conditions. But when caring for a flower, you should make sure that it is grown in the sun in moist, but well-drained soil with humus with neutral acidity. It is not forbidden to plant the action in partial shade, but you should know that there will be much less flowers than when you are in the open sun. When organizing the care of the action shrub, the rule of providing diffused sunlight throughout the day should be observed. As a rule, the plant is not vulnerable to various diseases and pests.

Action care includes the process of pruning, since all species grow on tree growths that appeared after the previous growing season. This procedure is very important for its growth, but you need to choose the time when the flowering has already ended - most often this is mid-summer. If pruned too late, they will not have enough time to produce new stems for flowering next year. Pruning in winter leads to the fact that for the next summer the action will remain without flower buds.And next spring, the flower with the stem will also not appear. It is required to shorten the plant by about one third of its entire length. Pruning to soil level will stimulate the growth of new basal shoots, which will soon reach full length and ensure the continuity of healthy shoots over the next year.

Landing action

Deutzia reproduces without problems using cuttings 8-10 centimeters long and soft shoots in May or June (well, or in July, when the wood is harder). They are placed in a mixture of sand and sandy peat and subsequently in a greenhouse, under glass or under plastic wrap. Before planting, young plants should be placed in good soil in the nursery space, and the roots should be pinched a little so that the flower shrubs better. Only after two years is it recommended to plant the action in a permanent place. And the best result can only be achieved if the plant is placed in loamy soil, but not too dry. Also fertilize the soil by placing well-rotted manure over the roots or applying fertilizer periodically. this completes the planting of the action and then you should organize proper care for the shrub in order to get an excellent result in the very near future.

Action varieties Hybrid action includes various varieties crossed with each other. They are distinguished by bright colors and unusual leaves.

Deytion pink Deutzia rosa is a fully fluffy deciduous shrub with pink to white flowers in late spring and early summer. Grow well in partial shade in direct sunlight and prefer medium water levels. Swivel-shaped flowers are located in inflorescences in the form of a cymosis shield. Drought resistance is average. It acquires the most picturesque appearance in spring and summer. This type of action grows in soils ranging from pH5 (very acidic ranges from 0 to 5.1) and ending with pH8 (slightly alkaline ranges from 7.6 to 8). It is adapted for chalk, clay, loam, sandy loam, peat, sandy clay, sandy loam and sandy loam soils. Prefers fertile land. The round bush can reach a height of one meter and extend to about the same length. The process to reach maximum height often takes 6 to 10 years. Pointed leaves retain their color in winter and summer. The main breeding method is cuttings.

Hybrid action is the whitest Snow-white inflorescences of the whitest action reach 12 centimeters; double flowers reach three centimeters in diameter. The period of active flowering is June-July. If all the conditions for care are met, the plant can bloom and retain its beautiful appearance for 20 to 50 years. It grows very quickly up to two meters.

Hybrid action graceful Deutia graceful is a shrub with opposite simple leaves and slender curved stems. White flowers ripen in the spring-summer period. Also known as the slender hybrid action, it is native to Japan, where it blooms in April-May. The plant grows up to two meters, but with time it takes on a bulk form and usually spreads over one and a half meters. The slender bush has a greenish-brown shade of oval-shaped leaves 10 by 4 centimeters with yellow inserts. They are smooth and thin with a pale green upper surface and smooth, almost snow-white - lower ones. For two weeks in April or May, these shrubs are covered with snow-white clusters of bowl-shaped flowers. Pure white flowers against a background of beautiful green foliage make the bush especially attractive to the eye - it catches the eye and spreads a delicate and aromatic scent. This crop grows best of this on fertile, well-drained soil. Deytsia is not picky about the level of soil acidity. Rarely exposed to diseases and various pests, but sometimes aphid attack and leaf spotting can occur.Dead wood is likely to develop and often looks dirty. Heavy pruning right after flowering allows them to look good. The sun is full; humidity - medium; reproduction - cuttings in warm weather.

The rough action is great The action is magnificent - it is a hybrid of the rough action and the Vilmoren action. Most often, the shrub reaches a height of 2-2.5 meters. Under the weight of the inflorescences, the shrub often sinks to the ground. The inflorescences are pinkish-white and will delight you for two to three weeks. Unlike its counterparts, the magnificent action prefers a place in the shade, for example, under a large crown of trees. The flower will receive its magnificent appearance in full force with a sufficient level of humidity and diffused light of the sun. Do not forget, when planting the action, prepare good drainage, as it does not really like excess moisture and salt in the soil. You can use the plant in apartments in the city, since the flower calmly tolerates gas pollution and smoke, without which a modern city cannot exist. Action Hybrid Strawberry Fields Deutzia hybrid Strawberry Fields is a fluffy deciduous shrub with peeling bark. There are also simple, opposite ovoid leaves and flowers in the form of a conical panicle. The flower petals are wide enough, 2.5 centimeters each, crimson on the outside and pale pink on the inside. They are arranged in the form of terminal or axillary clusters and disperse a wonderful scent over a long distance. They bloom in early summer. The flower is able to grow normally in partial shade and in full light. When planting, chalk, sand, clay and loam are also added to the soil. Loves high humidity, but prefers well-drained soil. Propagated by coniferous cuttings. Gardeners suggest planting a plant at the borders of garden plots and near houses.

Action turbilon Rouge Deyzia turbilon Rouge is part of the hydrangea family. It has five petals that form a bowl-shaped or star-shaped flower. They often have a pronounced aroma during flowering from mid to late summer. More mature plants often have flaky bark. The flower produces deep pink clusters in early June with yellow stamens against a backdrop of sharply toothed green leaves. The action height can reach one and a half meters. In order for the plant to develop actively, it is necessary to create conditions - fertile, not too dry soil, the place should be located in full sun. After the end of flowering, it is necessary to cut the shoot from 1/5 to the soil level.

Captivity action Captivity action is a shrub of medium height (one and a half to three meters). Foliage color - green, flowers - white or pink - bloom in late May - early June. A shrub native to East Asia does not require special care conditions and is ideal for any hell and windowsill. Captivity is the name for some varieties of action with double flowers, pink on the outside and white on the inside. They form an airy shrub with slightly drooping branches. Lanceolate leaves are green in color. The plant reaches three meters in height and slightly less in width. Pruning is not required, only if there is such a desire (be sure to carry it out immediately after flowering). Deytsia blooms on last year's shoots, so it must definitely form new branches with buds before winter. It adapts well to any soil. Grows well in full sun, but will also thrive in shade.

Action mont rose Deutia mont rose is a medium-sized, shrub-shaped deciduous plant. The leaves are ovoid and the inflorescence is a conical, purple-pink panicle in early summer. The flower tolerates drought and grows vertically. In the garden, he will attract bees and butterflies. It is convenient for the garden because of its low performance characteristics.

Terry deytsiya variety Terry deytsia got its name from terry flowers. This is a relatively short plant with a height of 1.5-2 meters.The bush blooms during May June very profusely. If a large number of flowers bloom, then the trunks of the plant are bent. Inflorescences in the shape of a star with white petals on the inside and pink on the outside give the plant a special picturesqueness. Action pink pom pom

Action pink pom pom - This is a flower with straight shoots, two to two and a half meters high. Has rough leaves of a dark green hue. The flowers are pink on the outside and white on the inside. Panicle-shaped inflorescences. Deytsia grows well in moist soil under the open sun with humus. Does not tolerate frost. Many gardeners consider this variety to be one of the most beautiful. orhide

Action from seeds

Seeds of action photo

How to sow in the ground

• You can sow seeds in open ground before winter (crops must be covered for the winter with non-woven material, which is removed with the onset of spring heat).
• The garden bed is prepared in advance so that the earth settles.
• Shallow furrows are stuffed at a distance of 25-30 cm, seeds are sown to a depth of 1-2 cm, keeping a distance of 8-10 cm.
• In spring, seedlings are weeded out of weeds, watered moderately during the dry season.
• For the winter, cover with a layer of fallen leaves.
• The seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place in 2-3 years upon reaching a height of 25-30 cm.

How to sow seedlings

• For sowing action seeds on seedlings, use boxes with moist nutrient soil.
• Spread the seeds over the soil surface, spray with a spray gun, cover with foil or glass.
• Ventilate regularly, spray crops with water from a fine spray.
• Expect sprouting for about 3 weeks, then remove the shelter.
• Continue to provide plants with moderate soil moisture and bright ambient lighting.
• Plant the hardened plants in open ground in the spring of the next season, and in the fall, be sure to cover them for the winter.
• The full development of the bush will take about 3 years.

Reproduction of action

The plant reproduces well at the beginning of summer with green and lignified cuttings, but bushes obtained by layering grow fastest. Sowing by seeds is also possible. Preliminary preparation of the seeds is not needed, they are simply sown in the spring, pressing them tightly to the ground without embedding them in the soil. It usually takes about 3 weeks before germination.

Annual seedlings are easily damaged by frost, so they are covered for the winter. The flowering of seedlings begins in the third year.

Action care

There is nothing difficult in caring for such a shrub, while a layer of mulch will save you some of the work. Action reacts negatively to waterlogging, so you need to water it infrequently. It will be enough 1 watering per week, while 10 liters of water should go to 1 bush. During a hot dry season, the amount of water should be increased to 20 liters per bush. From the second half of August, the plant ceases to be watered altogether. When watering is finished, you need to loosen the soil to a depth of 20 to 25 centimeters, while removing all the weeds. Top dressing is carried out 1 time in 4 weeks, for this, 3-4 liters of liquid manure are poured under each bush. Throughout the season, it is necessary to feed the action with complex mineral fertilizer (per bush from 120 to 150 grams) only 2 times. The plant is fed only during flowering.

Transfer

This shrub can be transplanted only in spring. The fact is that a specimen transplanted at other times of the year does not have time to take root before the onset of winter. The plant must be dug out carefully, while the clod of earth on the root system should not be destroyed. The bush must be dug along the perimeter of the projection of its crown, it is pulled out of the ground along with the roots and a lump of earth. Then it is moved to a new planting hole, which should be prepared in advance, while 20 to 30 grams of complex mineral fertilizer should be poured into it. To fill the hole, use the same substrate as during planting, while it must be properly compacted, and the plant must be watered. In a transplanted specimen, it is recommended to remove all old branches, and those that remain must be cut off by 1/3 part.In this case, the trunk circle must be sprinkled with a layer of mulch (peat). If the bush is young, then it will get sick quickly enough, but an adult bush will hurt for a relatively long time.

Cropping action

Caring for such a plant includes regular pruning. The action should be cut twice per season - in spring and autumn. In autumn, the branches blooming this year should be cut to the base or to the first strong bud. You should also remove old branches and those due to which the crown thickens. Together with sanitary pruning, crown shaping is also done. In the springtime, you need to shorten those branches that are frozen, and also remove the injured ones. In the event that the bush has suffered very badly during the winter, and more than half of its branches are broken, then it is recommended to cut such a plant "on a stump". Anti-aging pruning is done in the same way.

Care

All actions aimed at stimulating the growth of the Asian shrub - watering and feeding - are carried out during the flowering period of the plant, which lasts an average of 30-60 days. Pruning and wrapping is considered preparing the plant for winter.

Watering

Waterlogging has a detrimental effect on the condition of the shrub, therefore it is recommended to water it in moderation: no more than 10-12 liters of water under 1 bush every 2-3 weeks in the warm season. During the period of active growth and in dry weather, watering is allowed to be increased.

Watering the plants is stopped in August to ripen the wood.

Already in the second half of August, watering the plant is stopped so that the wood ripens by the onset of cold weather. In autumn, the near-trunk area is covered with a waterproof material.

It is recommended to loosen the soil under the bush after each watering, but only on the surface, so as not to hurt the root system. Weeds should also be removed by providing oxygen access to the upper root layers of the soil.

Top dressing

Fertilizer for action during the flowering period is applied monthly: the best choice will be liquid organic matter (no more than 3-4 liters). At least twice a season before the end of flowering, the plant is fed by introducing 130–150 grams into the soil. complex fertilizers consisting of a mixture of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, or superphosphate.

You need to feed the shrub several times per season.

Mulching the trunk circle with humus at the rate of 4-5 liters per one bush will have a beneficial effect on the growth of action and its attractive appearance. In autumn, fertilizing a shrub can only do harm, because it leads to a decrease in winter hardiness.

Pruning

Trim shrubs with a sharp knife, pruning shears, or razor blade

The first pruning of dead shoots in winter during the season is carried out in May – early June. After the end of flowering, the plant is pruned for rejuvenation and crown formation - while it can be given any shape.

After flowering, each branch is pruned to a young shoot and another quarter of the length to properly lay the buds and increase bushiness.

Several shoots from old bushes are allowed to be removed every 2-3 years to ground level. Young shrubs 5 years old are also allowed to be cut strongly, leaving a 10-15 cm stump with two lateral shoots. But most often the bush is simply given a rounded shape, shortening the branches that are very prominent from the total mass.

Transfer

You can transplant the action only in the spring, otherwise the plant will not have time to get stronger before the cold weather. The plant should be dug out according to the diameter of the projection of its crown, trying to keep the earthen lump intact.

Young shrubs tolerate transplantation

The new planting pit should have a drainage layer and complex mineral fertilizing (no more than 25–30 gr.). You need to cover the shrub with the same mixture as when planting, then water it well, compact the soil under the plant and mulch with peat.

When transplanting, it is convenient to cut off dried shoots, shortening the branches by one third... A young plant tolerates a change of "place of residence" quite easily, an adult shrub can get sick.

Preparing for the winter period

For the winter, the plant is insulated twice: for the first time - after the onset of the first night frosts. It is necessary to press the shoots to the ground and make a small wooden frame, the surface of which is covered with fallen leaves - this is an air-dry shelter.

The air-dry shelter of the shrub will preserve the viability of the plant in the winter

The second stage of preparation for wintering is carried out when the average daily air temperature drops below zero. To protect the shrub from freezing, the lower massive branches of needles are placed on its base: this way the hollow shoots will not break from the snow masses.

You can additionally cover the shrub with non-woven fibrous material or film, which will help prevent branches from breaking under the pressure of snow and prevent the soil from crushing in spring.

It will not be possible to bent adult plants to the soil, they will simply break, therefore, to cover old bushes, you need to proceed as follows:

1. Gently collect all the shoots in one sheaf, tie it with a soft rope.
2. Put on a bag of lutrasil or spunbond with the closed bottom up.
3. Fasten the material from below with clothespins and tie it in diameter with a soft tourniquet.

If the plant is not protected from the cold in time, then it will not bloom next spring.

It is recommended to remove the shelter in early spring, when the snow has melted, at positive average daily temperatures. It is necessary to free the plant without waiting for the remnants of the leaves to begin to rot. Also, the bushes should not be allowed to get wet.

If you do not get rid of the shelter in time (usually at the beginning of April), then this will slow down the process of spring vegetation of the shrub.
