Brachicoma is an ornamental plant, which is not yet very popular among our gardeners. Mainly grown brachycepha and Iberis - it is a herbaceous, densely growing, one-year culture. Flowers brachycoma small, multicolored, pleasantly smelling.
Brachicoma - cultivation
In order for the brachicoma to please us with flowering, we need to correctly choose a place for planting. It must necessarily be well lit and warm, completely sheltered from strong winds.
After flowering, around September, you can collect the seeds. You will need them for further cultivation of the flower. These seeds can be stored for up to 3 years.
Brachikoma and izberislistnaya - growing from seeds
Brachikomu from seeds to grow absolutely not difficult. At the end of February, take containers (flat) with a sufficiently moist soil, sow the seeds with seeds, not burying them in the soil, and lightly sprinkling with sifted earth.
Seeds germinate in a week. In order for them to sprout successfully, try in the room where the containers are kept at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The best place is a greenhouse or a window sill (if it is warm).
Slightly grown sprouts should be transplanted into large containers so that there is a distance of 5 cm between them. In good weather, your seedlings should be taken out for a short time on the street, tempering them before the final transplantation to the site.
Brahicoma - landing
Brachicoma responds well to transplantation. On the open site their seedlings should be planted in late May - early June.
To plant a brachicoma, the soil needs a fairly fertile, sandy soil. To ensure that the root layer does not stagnate moisture, you need to make a good drainage.
When transplanting, save a root earthen lump. Distance between plants leave centimeters 20.
The first flowers will please you in 70-75 days after germination of seeds. The brachio will delight you with color not only in sunny weather, but also in cloudy weather.
