On a backyard or garden plot, you want to have bright, original and, at the same time, unpretentious plants that can decorate the landscape throughout the year.
Representatives of the Derain genus correspond to these qualities. In summer, numerous varieties of deren delight with white or golden inflorescences, colorful foliage. In autumn, you can admire the white, blue or black berries against the background of crimson or scarlet leaves. Winter allows you to see the branches of the bush - dark red, orange, olive, green, brown ...
There are a lot of types of deren, but these four are mainly used in ornamental gardening:
- Derain white
- Derain offspring
- Derain blood red
- Derain Canadian
Brief description of cultivation
- Bloom... The shrub blooms magnificently from early to mid-summer. In the first autumn weeks, it blooms again.
- Landing... In autumn, during leaf fall or in spring - before sap flow begins.
- Watering... While the plant is young, it is watered once or twice every 7 days. Adult bushes are watered only during a prolonged drought, twice or three times a month, and from 15 to 20 liters of water are taken per plant.
- Fertilizer... If the soil is nutritious, then the lawn can grow normally without additional fertilizing. In the depleted soil in spring, 100 to 150 grams of mineral complex fertilizer should be applied to the soil under the bush. And in the summer months, 5 to 7 kilograms of humus are brought under the bush.
- Pruning... After the white dogwood turns 3 years old, they begin to cut it regularly. This is done 2 times a year, or rather: in July and August. Species and varieties that have a rich color bark should be cut off at the very beginning of spring, but only once every few years.
- Reproduction... Layering, seed method and cuttings.
- Pests... Aphids and scale insects are comma-shaped.
- Disease... Powdery mildew.
Derain kousa, or Japanese dogwood
This species, in contrast to such as white turf and blood-red turf, is a tall flowering shrub, or even a tree, and can reach a height of 9 m. found in the wild in China and Korea).
The crown is broadly spreading, old branches descend strictly horizontally and form tiers. Leaves are oval, pointed upwards. The foliage is dark green in summer (with a bluish tint below), and with the onset of autumn, their palette diverges from golden yellow to dark crimson. Flowering begins in June. The flower is a simple yellow-green head, assembled from small flowers, around which there are bracts (bractea) leaves. It is the bracts (up to 9 cm) that make the flowers beautiful, as they have an interesting shape and color. At the end of August, drupes ripen. They have a pink color and a slightly rounded shape, similar to strawberries (about 2 cm). The fruits are edible.
Decorative varieties:
- Satomi has bracts of pink-red color;
Derain Kousa "Satomi"
- Gold star it has a yellow pattern in the middle of the sheet;
Deren kousa "Gold Star"
- Milky way has a high yield and creamy bracts;
Deren kousa "Milky Way"
- Schmetterling profusely flowering variety with white bracts.
This species is considered an "aristocrat" and the most beautiful among its fellows. But, unfortunately, it is less resistant to our winters.
Features of the white deren
Derain white is a highly branching shrub. Its bare and straight branches are quite flexible, and over the years they begin to bend arcuate. Branches can be colored red-black, red-coral or brown-red. The height of the bush can reach up to 300 cm. The entire opposite leaf plates have an elliptical shape, petioles and pubescence on the surface. Their width can vary from 10 to 70 mm, and their length - from 20 to 100 mm. On the surface of the plate, three to five arc-shaped veins are clearly distinguishable. The front surface of the foliage is of a dark green hue, and the seamy side is pale gray. Lush apical corymbose inflorescences reach 30-50 mm in diameter, they include small white flowers with only 4 petals. Lush flowering of the shrub occurs at the beginning or middle of the summer period. And in the first weeks of autumn, repeated flowering is observed. The fruit is a berry-shaped drupe. Unripe fruits are painted in a pale blue color, which changes to white-blue as it ripens. Ripe drupes become flattened. Fruiting and flowering in white turf is possible only after it turns 2 or 3 years old.
This plant is resistant to heat, cold, tolerates winter well, can grow in the shade, any soil suits it, and it also feels great in urban conditions. It is thanks to its unpretentiousness and spectacular appearance that such a shrub has gained great popularity among gardeners.
Planting white deren in open ground
What time to plant
A seedling of white deren is planted in open ground at the beginning of the spring, and you need to be in time before the sap flow begins. Also, this procedure can be carried out in the fall during the period of leaf fall. Most gardeners prefer to plant such a shrub in the autumn, because in early spring, fully established and rooted seedlings immediately begin to actively grow. When planting a seedling in open ground in spring, experts advise that during the transfer to the hole, try to take the roots along with a large lump of earth (the more lump, the better). Thanks to this, you will be able to protect the plant from stress that may arise after transplanting.
Since white turf belongs to shade-tolerant plants, it is often planted in shaded areas or even in the shade, for example: along blank fences and walls or under large trees. But it should be remembered that varieties and varieties with variegated foliage need a lot of light, otherwise their leaves may lose their decorative effect.
Landing rules
White derain differs in that almost all types of soil are suitable for it. It grows well on rocky soil, and on light sandstone, and in heavy loamy soil. But it should be borne in mind that the soil must be necessarily neutral.
It is best to use seedlings for planting that are no more than four years old, since they take root faster, and if you cut them off, they will have a large number of young shoots. Before starting to plant a seedling, its root system is immersed in water, where it will stay for several hours. During this time, the roots will have time to absorb a sufficient amount of moisture, thanks to which they will better tolerate the transplant. If a seedling with a closed root system is used for planting, then it is not necessary to pre-soak it.
The size of the hole should be ¼ part larger than the volume of the root system, taken together with a lump of earth. If the soil on the site is swampy, then white turf can grow normally on it only if you provide it with good drainage. To do this, at the bottom of the landing hole, a drainage layer of sand should be made, which is connected to crushed stone or pieces of brick. In thickness, such a layer should reach about 15 centimeters.Please note that if the groundwater at the site is deep enough or the ground at the site is dry, then drainage is not done at all in the planting pit, or the bottom is covered only with a layer of sand.
After the seedling is placed in the planting hole, it should be covered with a soil mixture consisting of humus, compost and the top layer of soil (remaining after the preparation of the hole). When the bush is planted, compact the surface of the soil in the trunk circle and pour plenty of water over it. When the liquid has been absorbed, cover the soil around the bush with a layer of mulch (organic material). Make sure that the root collar after planting is on the same damage as the surface of the site.
Features of planting a plant
To get a beautiful and strong shrub, it is important to prepare well for planting. When choosing seedlings, observe the following rules:
- buy seedlings only in a specialized store or from experienced gardeners to grow what you need;
- when buying a seedling, ask about its age;
- in order for the plant to quickly take root in a new place, it is recommended to buy a three-year-old seedling;
- seedlings should be free of chips and scratches. The appearance of the branches should be strong and healthy;
- if the purchased seedling has dry roots, it should be kept in water for a while before planting.
To get a conceived composition for decorating a garden, when buying turf seedlings, you need to familiarize yourself with all their characteristics, as well as what kind of care they will need.
Choosing a place and soil
Derain grows best in a bright area with little shade. In such a place, the shrub reveals its beauty of shoots and foliage to the maximum. To create a hedge, grass can be planted along the paths of the garden.
The plant can be planted in any soil. But it should be remembered that it does not really like acidic soil. Therefore, give preference to neutral or slightly alkaline earth. The plant will grow best in humus-rich soil.
On well-loosened soil, any kind of turf will thrive best.
Before planting a shrub, it is important to make sure that there is no close groundwater near the roots. The soil must be dug up, fertilized, and the bottom of the pit must be covered with a drainage layer.
White derain care
Despite the fact that the white dogwood is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, it still needs to be well looked after. It should be looked after in almost the same way as for other horticultural crops.
Watering
Particular attention should be paid to watering young, immature bushes. They are watered regularly 1 or 2 times every 7 days. Older shrubs need watering only during periods of prolonged drought. So, in the summer during a drought, it will be enough to pour from one and a half to two buckets of water under each bush 2 or 3 times a month. When the bush is watered, loosen the surface of the soil in the trunk circle and pull out all the weeds.
Fertilizer
White turf does not need feeding, especially if the soil on the site is saturated with nutrients. However, if you want the bush to be powerful and bloom profusely, then in the springtime, from 100 to 150 grams of the mineral complex should be added to the soil of the trunk circle, and in the summertime - from 5 to 7 kilograms of humus or compost.
Pruning
After the shrub is 3 years old, they begin to carry out systematic formative pruning. If this rule is neglected, then the white deren will soon begin to gradually bare the lower part of the bush. In order for the shrub to be always compact and attractive, every third or fourth stem should be completely cut off. All weakened, injured and diseased branches are also cut out, leaving only the strongest and most developed.If white turf is used to create a hedge, then the first shearing should be done in July, and again in August (when the stems will grow).
If you grow varieties whose bark has a bright color, then they are sheared only once in several years, and this procedure is carried out in early spring, before the buds open. In this case, the bush should be shortened to 20 centimeters from the soil surface, which will allow it to rejuvenate: it will begin to actively grow a large number of young branches.
You can shape the crown of a deer in various ways. The most popular options are: arc, cube, column, hemisphere and ball. Another crown of such a shrub can be formed in the form of a standard tree (in 1 trunk). Some of the varieties and varieties of this plant do not need formative pruning, since the shape of their crown is already quite attractive. However, all the same, such bushes are regularly subjected to sanitary pruning.
Diseases and pests
An adult, powerful shrub of white deren has a high resistance to diseases and pests. But while the shrub is young, it is often affected by powdery mildew, and pests such as aphids and comma-shaped scale insects can also settle on it.
In a plant affected by powdery mildew, a whitish bloom forms on the surface of the foliage in spring. Cut off all diseased branches as soon as possible and treat the plant with Fundazole solution or Bordeaux mixture (1%). And to get rid of pests, spray the bush with a solution of acaricide, for example: Aktellik, Bankola, Aktara, Akarin or Biotlin.
Diseases and pests
The ornamental foliage of the deren does not differ in juiciness, therefore it is very rare to see deer pests on the bushes.

Insect pests
The distribution of caterpillars occurs only during the years of mass reproduction. However, each owner monitors his plantings and will not allow them to multiply.
Neglected garden plots with lawn are damaged by a leaf roll. But aphids attack plants most often. She adores young, not lignified shoots. White aphids are thrown onto the lawn from the black elderberry, therefore, when planting plants, it is necessary to take into account their neighborhood. If, nevertheless, the neighborhood is not taken into account and these 2 crops grow together, it is recommended to spray the black elderberry with insecticides so that the aphid does not spread to other plants. It is recommended to carry out treatment for aphids with a solution of the drug "Decis".
May beetle larvae removed from the ground during digging and preparation for deren planting
When pests are found, it is important to spray the plants with preparations in time to prevent the development of a sooty fungus. This attack appears at the site of aphids laying waste products. Infected specimens must be sprayed with chemicals, and the affected foliage must be removed.
On young shoots, derena sometimes settles svidine gall midge... The presence of a pest is indicated by swollen tubercles on the shoots. To combat svidinovy gall midge, no effective drugs have been invented. To destroy the pest, you can use the folk method of struggle: cut out the affected branches, take them away from the site and burn them.
Young shoots suffer from the invasion spider mite... Hot and dry weather contributes to the spread of the pest. But the insect is easy to fight, you can defeat it by spraying the plant with any insecticide. It is desirable to carry out the treatment 3 times at intervals of 1 week.
On the flowers of the deren settle ordinary bronzes... They prefer to feed on the light colored petals of the plant. To combat insects, you need to purchase preparations intended for the destruction of coleopteran insects.
May beetle larvae - the enemy for the root system of the deren.However, only young roots are susceptible to damage. Before planting deren in new soil, it is advisable to dig up the area manually, spill it with a solution of any insecticide, there are larvae - they need to be removed.
Insect pests are not so terrible for a plant, lizards, shrews, vole mice, moles cause great harm.

What is sick?
Characteristic white bloom on deren leaves
Fungal diseases and mold, wood cancer bring great harm to the plant.
In wet weather, a white bloom appears on the leaves - powdery mildew... Overcrowding of plantings contributes to the spread of the disease. The disease very quickly captures free and healthy areas, so the grower must take immediate measures to combat the disease. From insecticides for the fight against powdery mildew use "Skor", "Topaz".
Various spots are very rare. In order for the disease to arise, it is necessary that several factors coincide at once:
- frequent changes in weather conditions
- poor care
- presence of an infected instance
- trimming with non-disinfected materials
In addition, the plant can get sick with viral mosaic, tubercular necrosis of the bark. Closely growing bushes of red currants or roses can contribute to the spread of this disease. The disease is accompanied by drying of the shoots, the formation of pads on the affected shoots. To combat the disease, a mechanical method is used: cutting out the shoots by hand and burning them. After pruning, it is recommended to spray the diseased plant with a solution of Bordeaux liquid.
Cytosporosis of the bark
Deren shoots can dry out. This is facilitated by cytosporosis of the cortex... It is also considered one of the most dangerous diseases of deren, therefore, if a disease is detected, immediate measures must be taken. If you run and let it go, you can destroy the plant.
In order to prevent diseases, it is not recommended to plant deren bushes close to each other. When planting, it is important to ensure that the area is well ventilated and not surrounded by a solid fence. In addition, it is advisable to plant black, red currant away from the elderberry. If these plants become infected with something, there is a high probability that the disease will spread to the lawn.
Juniper is often sick with rust, which means that if you plant the grass near the juniper, the plant will get sick with rust. Neighborhood with roses, some conifers is undesirable.
Agrotechnical methods of protecting plants from diseases and pests
- Plants should not be planted in low-lying areas, the soils of which are in constant moisture.
- When choosing a site, you should not plant on a site blown by winds from the northeast and from the north. They are very cold and have a detrimental effect on the plant.
- Planting in compacted soils will lead to the development of fungal diseases and rot.
- During planting, it is important to respect the distance between the seedlings. If planted densely, their stems will subsequently become intertwined, and this is fraught with the development of a disease: powdery mildew, sooty fungus. During pruning, you need to thin out the plantings, especially for hedges created from deer.
- After work, all tools must be disinfected to avoid unwanted contamination of other plants.
A simple procedure, which consists in loosening the soil near shrubs and getting rid of weeds, helps to get rid of the larvae of many insects. Coma of this, dogwood is a deciduous plant, therefore, it is necessary to remove fallen leaves annually, since many different larvae can be found in it, which will harm the plant.
It is recommended to use rotted compost, peat, humus, crushed bark of trees and shrubs as mulch.
Derain in landscape design
Derain is an unpretentious plant that, with minimal care, will decorate a summer cottage with its multi-colored variegated foliage and decorative shoots. The plant can be used in single and group plantings, however, when planting, you need to take into account the size of the turf crown in order to provide it with the opportunity to reveal itself in all its glory.

Reproduction of white deren
White dogwood can be propagated by generative (seed) and vegetative (cuttings and layering) methods.
Growing from seeds
The seed material of this plant has a very high germination rate (about one hundred percent). Sowing seeds is carried out in the autumn, immediately after they are collected. Since the seeds retain their germination for about 5 years, sowing can be postponed for the spring, but in this case they will need stratification: in winter they are kept at a temperature of 5 degrees for at least eight weeks. When sowing, remember that there should be no more than 5-15 seeds per 1 square meter of the plot, which are buried in the soil by 40-50 mm. You will not see seedlings soon, often they appear only in the second or third year after sowing. And only after 5–8 years, a bush grown from seeds will have a standard size for a given plant. That is why most gardeners prefer to use vegetative methods for reproduction.
Propagation by cuttings
From a powerful and healthy plant in the first days of June, it is necessary to cut off slightly lignified stems, and on each cuttings there should be from 7 to 9 buds. Plant the rooting cuttings in a container filled with a suitable potting soil. Cuttings root best in a greenhouse. During rooting, do not forget to water the cuttings in a timely manner, as well as feed them with mineral fertilizers and organic matter. By the first autumn weeks, the cuttings should already be well rooted and can be planted in the garden.
Reproduction by layering
The easiest way is to propagate white turf by layering. To do this, in the autumn, select a stem on the bush that grows very low from the ground surface. Dig a small groove and fix the stem in it, leaving only the top on the outside. Cover the groove with fertile soil. Throughout the summer period, the layers are regularly watered and fed. In late autumn, it is recommended to cover the layering with a layer of spruce branches or loose leaves. With the onset of spring or the next autumn period, separate the layers and plant them in a new permanent place.
Care nuances
Deren Shpeta is not a whimsical plant, but still needs regular care. Shrub care is as follows:
- Make sure that the soil under the bush is constantly wet. After each watering, it should be mulched. Ground cover plants can be planted around the trunk of the shrub to retain moisture.
- In order for oxygen to penetrate to the roots, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil. The procedure must be carried out carefully and not too deep to avoid damaging the surface roots of the turf.
- Every spring, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive feeding of adult plants.
- Shpet's white turf withstands frosts. Therefore, it is not necessary to cover it for the winter, but first-year seedlings need mandatory shelter, since they are still too small and young, and will not be able to withstand severe frosts.
- To make the bush look beautiful in winter, you need to cut it off in early spring, leaving only twigs 20 centimeters high. Thanks to this procedure, the shrub will be renewed, it will start up many young and strong shoots.
- Pruning is recommended every couple of years. But, pruning of old branches is allowed every year.
If the turf is planted as a hedge, it should be pruned after the branches are no longer actively growing, around mid-summer. The shrub is cut for the first time four years after planting.
Improper plant care can lead to the development of diseases and the attack of pests. The roots can begin to rot when the soil is severely waterlogged. Also, excess moisture can provoke the development of a fungal disease. To correct this situation, reduce watering, treat the sod with colloidal sulfur or Bordeaux mixture.
Derain can be attacked by pests that inhabit other plants growing nearby. To get rid of them, all the bushes need to be treated with special insecticides.
