Anagallis

The genus consists of approximately 30 more or less stable annual and perennial species, often groundcover or creeping. Full-blown field flower (Anagallis arvensis) is an annual, often weedy plant with a height of 4-5 cm with a four-sided peduncle, opposite leaves and single axillary bright or orange-red flowers with a diameter of 1 cm. Some varieties are very beautiful, for example 'Blue' and 'Broad-leaved' - with blue flowers, 'Purple' - with red. Full-time flax flower (A. linifolia), or full - time large-flowered flower (A. grandiflora), is a perennial plant grown as an annualist, especially in harsh winters. Height-30 cm; leaves-lanceolate dark green. In summer, blue flowers bloom up to 3 cm in diameter, with a red spot at the base. The most popular varieties for growing both in pots and in flower beds are 'Brevera' with red flowers, 'Phillips' with dark blue and 'Collina' with pink flowers. Full-time color tender (A. tenella) - a long-term creeping species with a height of 5-10 cm, low-resistant, and occurs in natural conditions. The leaves have oval, bell-shaped flowers with dark veins, painted in light pink color, bloom in spring and summer. The pink-flowered 'Studland'is also known.

Cultivation

Grow in the open air in flower beds full-time field color and full-time flax-leaved color. Loose, well-prepared soil is required. As for the full-time color of the delicate, this plant prefers moist soils. In cold climates, plants should be grown in pots; in winter, keep in a cool room. Full-time flax color can be used for decoration of stony and mountain gardens. Perennial species are grown in pots as annuals.

Perennial species are grown in pots as annuals.

Location

All species require an extremely well-lit location.

Temperature

All (with the exception of the cold-sensitive full-face color of the tender) species do not have any special requirements.

Watering

Water the full-time field flower and full-time flax-leaved flower in the spring and summer period abundantly and regularly; stagnation of water in the soil should be avoided. Full-time tender color requires increased soil moisture.

Transplant

Potted species are transplanted in March to new, larger containers.

Reproduction

Full-time tender color is propagated in the spring by dividing the bush. Full-time flower is sown in early spring directly on a flower bed or in a pot. As for the full-time color of flax, this plant is sown at the end of winter under glass and only in May the seedlings are moved to a permanent place.

Diseases

Full-time color is periodically affected by aphids, which suck the juices out of the plants. Pests are eliminated by carrying out treatments with anti-aphid drugs.

Acquisition

For sowing, choose high-quality seeds for which the correct storage conditions have been observed. Full-time flax seedling can be purchased in flower nurseries, horticultural centers and flower shops; sometimes-in supermarkets.
