Colosnyak sandy, or blue, is one of the most beautiful cereals used in decorative flower growing. Botany belongs to colosson to herbs with a combined type of root system. The plant is able to build a bush, increasing the number of growth kidneys in one knot of rhizomes, and at the same time form powerful underground collisions, "breaking" by radius from the mother's bush. Kuste Colosnyka high up to 1 m is very beautiful. Powerful hard painting with sharp leaves 1-1.2 cm blue width. In July, the leaves rose with dense spikelets of 7-8 cm long with dense spikelets, but they do not determine the beauty of this plant, the main thing is the leaves. The blue color of the leaves is very stable, it remains so for the entire season - from spring to snow.
Growing
Colosnya sandy has long been introduced into the culture of decorative gardening. The plant is very unpretentious and in large gardens can be used to create blue thickets in a place defined for it. In small gardens or gardens with regular flower beds, the colosnyak is planting in containers with a volume of at least 10 liters, covered in the soil "on the shoulders". In the containers, Colosnyak feels great, forming beautiful blue bushes. They are so beautiful that I can "be used not only in any mixlers, but also act as solitizers among lawns or soil plants.
It is difficult to list all the successful combinations of a colosnyha with other plants. These are red roses, blue, blue and lilac dolphiniums, wrestlers, white nyologii, Lilyniki different tones, phlox, etc. It is beautiful on the background of a carpet of purple or almost black bakery, bright carnation-grass, soil solids. The plant does not require high blood soil, which is what his species name says. Colosnya is able to grow even in pure sand.
Location
The plant is planted on an open sunny place. It can grow in half. In the shade of Colosnyak, the sandy less beautiful.
TEMPERATURE
Winter artists, shelter does not require. Returns spring frosts are not damaged.
WATERING
At the beginning of the season, watering is desirable during the growing period of the leaves. In the second half of the growing season, irrigation is not required, the plant drought resistant.
LANDING
The best landing time is the first half of the growing season. Possible landing and at a later time. True, after the landing in August-Demoibe, at the beginning of the next season, the plant will not acquire a decorative species, as adapts to new conditions, especially if it was planted into the container. When planting a colossumn to a soil about soil fertility, you can not take care, it will grow on any basis. When landing into the container it is filled with any soil with the addition of 10-15 g of complete mineral fertilizer. In subsequent years, the plant is 1-2 times in the season feed the standard dose of full mineral fertilizer. When landing B. open sad The plant can show aggression, going beyond the reserved territory. In this case, underground collishes are cut off and discharge unnecessary parts. When; Landing into a container Colosnyak can live a long time without a transplant, especially if not forget about annual feeding. However, after a few years, the transplant is inevitable. Its period depends on the volume of container and content conditions. If the leaves of the colosnia are crushed and the feeding does not improve appearance, It is necessary to remove the plant from the container, to separate the part of the shoots and, reflecting the container of fresh soil, to put the colosson.
Reproduction
Vegetative and separation of a plant or offspring offices.
Diseases and pests are practically absent.
Colosnyak is a perennial grace that decorates the parisade with beautiful, filament bushes. Not everyone can understand the beauty of this plant immediately, but without it the complex flower arrangement may be incomplete.
Colosnyak stuck in the prairies and in the arid territories of North America and Eurasia. Some of his varieties inhabit the desert of Argentina. It feels well from subtropics to the tundra. Among the gardeners, many other names are common: Elimus, Pyreneik, East, Losniet. The genus belongs to the family of cereals.
The underground part of the plant is very developed, it consists of powerful, growing horizontally roots. In underground shoots, kidney growth develops. The stem from the colossumnant is dense, reprehensive. In different varieties, the height of vegetation ranges from 20 cm to 1.5 m.
Thin, hard leaves are located dense beams closer to the ground. The foliage is elongated, in the form of ribbons, with a pointed edge, 2-15 mm width. The lower surface is smooth, the upper can be rough or covered with hairs. The color of the ground part is dark green or sinage with silver tint. Autumn stems and leaves acquire yellow or brown shades.
In June-July, inflorescences appear in the form of dense bumps. The height of the inflorescence is 7-30 cm. They consist of a variety of short, perpendicular spikelets.
Distributed in North American prairies. The height of the perennial is 30-120 cm. It grows with thick beams, gradually capturing large squares. Distribution is made by self-sowed, since there is no creeping roots. Dark green leaves, 2-6 mm thick. In the middle of summer, large ears of 8-20 cm long appear.
This herbaceous perennial height of 60-120 cm is found in the cold areas of the Moderate belt Eurasia. The territory covers compact green bundles, connected under the ground with a shared root system. Foliage thick, Size or dark green painting with a blue tint. The width of the leaves is 0.8-2 cm, and the length is 50-60 cm. The inflorescences are large, lush, their length is 15-30 cm, and the width is about 2.5 cm. Flowers all summer. The species differs in frost resistance, withstands a decrease in temperature to -23 ° C.
It is found in Japan, China and North America, prefers coastal sandstones. Forms green, very thick bundles with a height of 50-100 cm. They are at some distance from each other, although they are connected by creeping roots. In one Dernovina there is several shortened shoots, densely covered with foliage. Leaves are rigid, rough, 15 mm width. During the flowering period, thick spikes are formed up to 25 cm long. Flowers from June to July. Withstand frosts up to -34 ° C.
Distributed in North America and Eurasia. The plant reaches a height of 50-120 cm. In the lower part, dense bushes are formed from shortened stems, thick-coated foliage at the base. Wide leaves (1.5-2 cm) in length are about 30-50 cm. Roots creeping, strong. During the flowering period, it produces long, thick stems. Absolutely bare and very stable shoots rise above the foliage.

Colosnyak breeds vegetative or seed. The division of the bush is produced in spring or in the first half of summer. Young shoots with their own roots dig up and transplant in a new place. The plant is very well rooted and does not require special care. Near the rooted stem, side branches are quickly formed. Blossom seedlings start in the same or on next year. Dernovina quickly grow.
With seed reproduction, seedlings are not grown. Seeds sow immediately in open ground in early spring. In mid-April, the first shoots appear, but in the year of the planting plants look very rare and small. The view of the magnificent shock with large ears and high inflorescences of Colosnyak acquires only in 2-3 years.
Ellimus grows very well in the open sun, on light soils. Suitable for growing on sandy, samp, pebble or stony soils. Prefers neutral or alkaline substrates with the addition of lime. Stable even to a strong drought, therefore it rarely needs irrigation, it is content with natural precipitation. He badly tolerance and stagnation of water, especially during the melting period of snow. Fertility is not demanding. It costs without fertilizers or is content with rare organic feeding.
Colosnyak very quickly grows in favorable conditions, so many perceived as weed. In a small garden or flower garden, the issue of restriction of vegetation may arise. It is convenient to plant a plant in a large cadke with dense walls that the rhizer will not be able to break through.
The container is buried in the ground, leaving some part of the side on the surface. It will save from the disorderly spread of vegetation. For the same purpose, it is recommended to cut spikelets to their full maturation to prevent self-seed. The plant retains an attractive appearance for a long time and does not need periodic rejuvenation and transplants. It does not suffer from pests and diseases.
Colosnyak is resistant to severe frosts and does not need shelter. In the area where large amount of snow falls, you can use the film to protect from excess moisture during the melting period of the snow.
Compact bushes of the colosnian in the form of bluish fountains will decorate any floweruba. Preferably use in rockers or on stony masonry. It looks good in mix bears, keeps the form, not stele. You can use on high sandy shores or hills. Roots effectively fix sandy mound.
It looks good in decorative landings with a columnist brightly blooming seals.
Vegetation is used as aft culture.
Large ears have high decorativeness and are used in dry flower arrangements. They harvest them in the middle of summer, before the start of the ripening of seeds. Cut inflorescences are collected in small bundles up to 15 pieces and suspended down the spikelet in the shaded, well ventilated place.

ELIMUS prefers outdoor solar and lungs, neutral or alkaline soils. I am satisfied with natural precipitation, it is rare in watering, it is rare, steadily tolerates the most severe drought. Stagnation and flooding tolerant is bad, especially during the periods of snow melting. Soil fertility does not matter. Colosnyak costs completely without fertilizers, but occasionally can be made organic feeding.
Often, the colosson is perceived as a weed, because in favorable conditions it grow very quickly. In flower beds, small gardens may arise problems with restricting its brown vegetation. It is best to plant in large shops with dense walls so that the roots could not break them.
Next, jump the container into the ground, leaving a small part of the top above the surface of the Earth. This will prevent the disorderly spread of vegetation. To prevent self-seeds, cut the spikelets until they are completely ripe. In periodic transfers and rejuvenation does not need, because an attractive appearance is preserved for a long time.
Diseases and pests are not subjected.
It is well tolerate even severe frosts and does not require shelter. Only with a large number of snow, you can cover the film so that there is no excess moisture during the melting of the snow.
Neat columnar resemble fountains - they are nice to decorate any flowerbed. Preferably use in rockers or on stony madges. The bush is not worthwhile, keeps well, will be good in mixlers. Chain roots are capable of spectacularly fix the sandy mounds: boldly use on the hills, high sandy shores.
In decorative landings with the colossumn, the seals with bright colors are well combined.
Colosnian greens are often used as a stern culture.
Large spikelets with high decorativeness can be used to prepare dry bouquets. It is necessary to harvest them in the middle of the summer before the start of the seed ripening. Cut spikelets, collect in small bundles up to 15 pieces in each, hang up down by inflorescences in a shaded place with good ventilation.

Colosnyak is a fairly unpretentious and frost-resistant plant. It grows almost at all points of Russia. But in different climates can behave differently. For example, in the middle lane, its leaves can be faded for the winter, and in the warm climate they gradually change and the grass continues to grow.
The second name of the culture is Elimus. This is original I. decorative plantThat is ready to delight the eye for many years. Refers to the family of cereals. The height can reach 130 cm. Leaves are dense and tough, grow up and have a bluish tint.
Flowers Colosnyak is weak, usually in June-July with small suitable colors. Soot it to decorate the garden. It looks very impressive on mixed flower beds or against the background of lawn.
The plant loves the sun and sufficient moisture, but at the same time resistant to drought. For him fits loose and poor sand soil. In favorable conditions, ELIMUS grow rapidly and grow easily enough throughout the territory. Therefore, it is necessary to plant it in a pot so that the edge is braked at the soil level, thereby limiting it and not allowing the opportunity to turn into a weed.
To multiply and grow a colossumnant in two ways: seed and vegetative. In the first case, the seeds in open soil can be seeded, and do not grow seedlings for this. Either scatter seeds over the surface, but before mixing them with sand. In the first few years, sprouts will be small, but after 2-3 years, fluffy large kurtins are formed.
Vegetatively, the colosnyak is propagated by dividing the bush. It is enough to dig shoots, carefully divide the sharp shovel and put on a new place. They will come up quickly and in the first year will delight their owner.
When the question of choosing a seating material, it is worth paying attention to some features. To begin with, it is worth remembering that the choice of cereals directly depends on the terrain in which they will grow, and climate.
Need to ask the consultant as this species behaves in his homeland. After all, some plants can grow anywhere, while others will not survive in the changeable climate of the Moscow region.
Separately it is worth considering the roots. There are long-lung species that will have to be limited during expanding and short-rhizons that do not require this.
To properly choose a place to plant a colossumn, you need to clearly know its requirements and the nature of growth. Some types of this plant are capable of growing at very low temperatures, they need it. These are the earliest islands of greenery, which can be seen early in spring. As soon as the temperature reaches about +25 degrees, their growth stops. Kotina will ventilate closer to autumn when the temperature goes back to comfortable values.
In the cool periods, in the fall and spring, it is worth dealing with the division of bushes. This is the most successful time for breeding.
There are also thermal-loving species. For them, important heat Air, and during freezing, especially sudden, they may die.
Colosnya varieties are very much. The genus extends to the moderate zones of both hemispheres and there are approximately 100 species. The most common of them:
They are all very similar, but still have differences. For example, Canadian Colosnyak grows up to two meters high. It blooms more effectively and saturated towards the end of summer. Spikelets first green, but over time is filled with wheat tint, reminding rye. Unlike sandy, long stems are fragile and weak, can decay. Therefore, they need support.
The Verginsky spikelet is coarse and straight. It blooms good, but already in the middle of summer. Green leaves, sometimes there are blue. Autumn on the foliage can appear red stripes. Easily multiplied with seeds.
The sand column has a subspecies - the Findhorn grade. It looks like sandy, but more compact. Acquires decorative View Only a few years after landing. Grown from seeds.
This plant is used in various decorative compositions. It looks good in the middle or neighbor plans of the mixboarder. For revival general view Colosnyak is planted in the center of the smooth lawn. Wonderful combined S. perennial plants, such as sage or chop. It looks good next to roses.
Colosnyak prefers solar space and neutral alkaline soils. You can use a mixture of a delicate earth, sand and peat in proportions 1: 2: 2.
It takes it very little to water - the plant is satisfied with the accumulated moisture after natural precipitation. Drought carries persistently. What can not be said about oven, especially in the period after the winter, when snowing snow.
Early spring you need to briefly cut last year's leaves.
Pretty soil plant is practically not needed, you can only occasionally use the organic. When you cut the grass, you can feed the mineral fertilizer.
Often, Colosnyak is taken for the weed because of its rapid growing. To do not reach this, the grass is planting in deep bowls with dense walls, which can not break through the roots. Then these bowls are buried to the ground, leaving a small part of the walls on the surface. If possible, you need to cut spikelets until the aging to prevent self-seed.
In transplant, Colosnyak does not need. Diseases and pests are not subject to diseases.
On the winter Kurtins can not be covered. The plant is frost-resistant, withstands low temperatures. But, if the winter snowy and drops a lot of precipitation, it is worth covering it with a film in order to avoid excessive moisture.
