Description and cultivation of lilacs "Memory of Kolesnikov"

Ornamental plants can become a real decoration of the garden plot. Particularly good among them are those that bloom gracefully. Lilac "Memory of Kolesnikov" is just one of these options.

The geometry of the buds is maintained until complete flowering. Individual flowers can be up to 0.03 m in diameter. Oval-shaped petals are visible in the middle of each flower. The buds that have not yet blossomed are slightly creamy yellow, only at the very flowering do they turn white. There are two disadvantages: the variety cannot set seeds, and the crown is rather difficult to form.

The description of the common lilac "Memory of Kolesnikov" would be incomplete without an indication of its agrarian characteristics and methods of treatment. The plant should be planted only in well-lit places where piercing winds do not blow. There are almost no requirements for the composition of the soil. But it is required that the site is not swampy. The less moisture on the ground, the better for this lilac.

On waterlogged soil, "Memory of Kolesnikov" will rather quickly die instead of development. It is recommended to choose fertile land. It is useful to add a lot of humus to the garden. This technique helps to achieve the best beauty of the bush. As soon as the seedling is buried in the ground, it is immediately watered, and after absorbing the water, it is loosened.

Fertilize lilacs systematically. Experts consider ash to be the best additive. Experts point out that "Memory of Kolesnikov" can be grown both as a tapeworm and in conjunction with other plants. Large thickets of bushes can look very good. You can even combine different varieties - then they will set off the dignity of each other.

To achieve the perfect result, you should:

• cut off the plant as soon as the buds bloom;

• loosen the ground by 0.06 - 0.12 m;

• feed regularly;

• sprinkle the trunks of seedlings with peat or foliage for the winter.

If all the requirements are met, a large bush or tree with bare dense foliage is formed. Individual leaves are shaped like a heart. They are colored dark green. Some of the flowers are simple, but there are also those that are of the double type. Colors and shades are very diverse. "Memory of Kolesnikov" will bloom from the fourth year of life. The width of the bushes is greater than their height. They grow well both in the sun and in partial shade. A thick shade, as for other varieties of lilacs, is contraindicated. Good drainage is essential.

Planting is recommended at a later date, more precisely - from the tenths of July to the first days of September. Lilac planted at the very end of autumn or in the spring months takes root and develops worse. The distance between the bushes should be at least 3 and not more than 4 m. Then an optimal composition is formed both in aesthetic and agronomic terms. Pits where lilacs are planted must be dug with sheer sides.

Fertilizers are applied for the very first time even before planting, or rather, in the planting pit. The soil surrounding the planted plants must be thoroughly compacted. Experts believe that "Memory of Kolesnikov" will best take root when landing in the evening or on a cloudy day. But it must be remembered that the ground must be dry. Watering is not something vital, however, without it, you can not count on a beautiful flowering.

Of course, irrigation must be adapted to the specifics of the weather. If the summer is humid, water less (and vice versa). Top dressing of lilacs is carried out moderately often. When a large amount of fertilizer is added during planting, it is possible to abandon the additives for the first three years. Subsequently, replenishment is carried out annually, but only in small doses.

Organic matter is introduced every year. Every 3 years comes the turn of a complex mineral composition. Pruning helps to improve the flowering of the crop, along with the addition of the necessary substances. It is usually held in the spring, and then the next year the shrub rewards farmers with even more lush bloom. Autumn pruning, on the other hand, will completely block flowering for the coming season.
