Deytion rough, or stellate(Deutzia scabra)
A genus of perennial woody plants of the Hortensiae family (Hydran-geaceae).
Deytion Rough Plena (Plen) - ornamental, tall, beautifully-flowering shrub with a dense crown formed by numerous straight shoots hanging slightly at the ends under the weight of inflorescences.
It reaches a height of 3 meters, a width of up to 2 m. The annual increase in height is 30-40 cm, width is 20-30 cm.
The leaves are rough, completely covered with fine fibers, elliptical, pointed at the top, the top of the leaf is dark green, the bottom is gray-green, 3-8 cm long.
The flowers are terry, snow-white inside and pale-pink outside, gathered in narrow paniculate inflorescences, up to 10-12 cm long. Blossoms later than other deytion, in July.
Deytion Rough Plena (Plen)
Deytsiya prefers a nutritious, medium moisture soil. Ingredients: humus, peat compost, sand (2: 1: 2), with the addition of lime.
Dytions light-requiring, drought-resistant.
Used for single and group plantings, creating edges. First introduced into culture in 1822.
Under the weight of snow-white terry inflorescences shoots bend in an arc, giving the bush a spectacular look.
Not enough winter-hardy, it can freeze to the level of snow, although one of the most winter-hardy among the actions.
Nevertheless, planting in sheltered places and shelter for the winter, especially for young plants, is preferable.
Thinning and rejuvenation as the bushes age. Strong pruning involves cutting "on the stump."
To give the bush a beautiful shape, withered branches are cut to the first strong new shoot or to the base. In early June, pruned shoots frozen in winter.
In hedgerows deatii do not cut!
For the winter, light cover with a dry leaf, a layer of 10-20 cm, bending down the branches, hilling them with earth, snow. Bending down to the ground of young plants not exceeding one meter does not cause difficulties: such bushes bend easily.
But, especially spectacular look large plants under 2 meters tall. In such an action shoots tubular hollow, easily broken, so bending down the bushes and their shelter with spruce leaves and dry leaves is very difficult.
In late autumn you need to tightly tie the bushes with any breathable material. It is assumed that during severe frosts the shoots of the actions do not so much freeze as they dry out. With such a simple and not very difficult way of shelter it is possible to almost completely save the bushes from freezing even in winter with temperatures of -30 ° C. Practice shows that the podbrivaniya shoots with such a cover does not occur.
Landing: Sowing is carried out in the spring without pre-treatment of seeds. It is enough when sowing to squeeze the seeds tightly to the ground and not to close them.
Shoots will appear in three weeks. Seed germination lasts one to three years.
Annual seedlings are sensitive to low temperatures and require mandatory shelter. Given their low winter hardiness, a pick is carried out in the spring. Under favorable conditions, seedlings will bloom in the third year.
Deytsiya - deciduous plant, which, thanks to the Dutch merchants, came to our country in the 19th century.
To date, scientists have studied about 50 types of actions. Different varieties and decorative forms can be distinguished by color, size and shape of flowers and the height of the bush. We will talk about those who have become the most popular lately.

Rough
Deytion rough, which is also called stellate, is an exotic beautiful shrub, very similar to honeysuckle shrub before flowering. In nature, evergreen perennial is found in Japan and China. The height of the bush is relatively not large, only two and a half meters, but it looks quite elegant. The bark is reddish, with a brown tinge, in older plants it exfoliates. The leaves are elongated, green without shine, their length is 3-8 cm, and the surface is rough.
The representative of this species of flowers blooms later than the rest. Inflorescences of soft pink or white, racemes, elongated and large. The length of the inflorescences, with good care - 12 cm. The duration of flowering is short - only ten or fourteen days.
The average lifespan of a shrub is 25 years.
The easiest way to plant a seedling is to plant. When buying it in the nursery, carefully inspect it - if all the kidneys are intact, there are no visible damages on the branches, fungal plaque and other points that can provoke any disease.
Planting material can not be stored for a long time, you will save the roots from drying out if you wrap them in strong wrapping paper.
Detyu need to plant in early spring. She will be comfortable in the open, but that in the afternoon the sun here was not very bright. Cold winds, drafts, like poor dry soils, can cause disease and plant death. Sour soils need liming.
Return the roots to life, if necessary, by dropping a sapling into a bucket with a clay mash mixed with a weak solution of manganese, let them soak it in two or three hours.
The bush will be sprawling, so it will need a lot of space.
When planting, do not forget to put drainage on the bottom of the hole and shorten the roots slightly. The roots in the hole should not be cramped, dig it to a depth of 50 cm. You will need humus, peat compost and sand, take them at a ratio of 2: 1: 2, mix, add a little nitroammofoski and put the root in the hole with this mixture. Lift the root collar 1 cm above the ground. After that you need to tamp the ground, pour and grind.
Caring for an exotic beauty is not difficult. Watering should be regular, but not abundant; once a week a bucket of water is poured under a bush; two can be watered in a dry summer; by the end of summer, watering should be gradually reduced. Land need to loosen and weed. Every month you need to make dressing - liquid manure, and twice in the summer - liquid mineral fertilizers, but only when the bush blooms. It is necessary to use drugs according to the instruction.
With proper care, diseases and pests of the bush are not terrible. The cause of the biggest problems may be the bumble-bend proboscis; you will learn about its presence when you see the leaves being gnawed. You can destroy it with karbofos.
Deytsii, especially in areas with cold winters, harbor in the fall, you can use the recommendations for the shelter of hydrangea.
Now let's say a few words about another member of the family of actions, this is action of captivity.
Deytsiya captivity

Particularly amazing is terry deutzia, whose openwork flowers are pink outside and white inside, it is also called captivity. The branches of this air bush down to the ground, as if sag under the weight of lush inflorescences.
Pruning is not a mandatory component of care, but, as a rule, after the bush has blossomed, pruned dry, damaged or diseased branches. This will stimulate its growth and flowering for the next season.
Growing and caring for the action of captivity is the same as for the action rough.

In this article we will give a description, analyze the features of the action, we will acquaint you with the popular species and varieties of this plant. Also we will tell you in detail about the intricacies of the cultivation of deuterium.
Description of the action and its features
Deytsiya - deciduous evergreen perennial woody plant family Hortensia. The natural habitat of the deytion is the Himalayas, Mexico, East Asia. Deytsiya abundance of its flowering resembles flowering sakura. It is for this pomp and beauty of action that gardeners all over the world fell in love with.
Deytsiya has about 50 species. In Europe, the action was brought from Japan by Dutch traders in the 19th century. Since then, the shrub has become one of the most sought-after elements of landscape design in Europe, and now in Russia. The name of the Asian beauty was given by the Swedish scientist Karl Thunberg. Thus he noted the mayor of Amsterdam, Johann van Deutz, who sponsored an expedition to the East.
Deytsiya - a shrub, a height of 0.5-2 meters. The shape of the stems can be both upright and spreading, which allows you to use different options for decorating the site. Due to the large branching, the action is easy and convenient to cut, creating the desired shape of the crown. The bark of a young brown deuterium becomes grayish with age. The peculiarity of hydrangeas is peeling of the bark. Detion is no exception. You should not be afraid of this, it is just a property of the bark of a mature plant. The leaves are located oppositely, oblong with a pointed apex, the edges are dentate, up to 6 cm long. The color of the leaves varies from light to dark shades of green, in the autumn it is yellow-brown.

Multiplication of action
Cultivation deeds impossible to imagine without reproduction. It is possible to propagate the action as seeds, and vegetatively. Let's take a closer look at each of these methods so that you can choose the one that is right for you.
Reproduction by seeds.
This method is used infrequently, as it is suitable only for species. A good plant is not obtained from seeds of hybrid varieties, since all parental properties of the shrub may be lost.
For a start, you need to collect the seeds that ripen in late September - early October. Choose the ripest fruit. Selected seeds should be stored until planting, i.e. until spring. No preliminary preparation of the seeds is necessary.
For sowing, take a suitable container that needs to be filled with nutritious soil, consisting of peat, humus and sand.
Seeds are sown directly on the surface of the soil, without digging, you just need to lightly sprinkle them with river sand. Further, to create greenhouse conditions, the container is covered with a film or glass. Care is to maintain soil moisture. With the right actions, shoots appear in a month and a half, and they can be planted in open ground.
Reproduction green cuttings.
This method is one of the most common.
Harvest cuttings should be in June. For this purpose, choose a healthy, strong bush. The cuttings will go mature thick shoots, the length of the cuttings - 10-12 cm.
To stimulate the formation of roots, you can treat them with special preparations before planting.
For rooting cuttings choose spacious containers that are filled with nutrient soil consisting of fertile soil with the addition of sand.
Green cuttings, slightly tilting, are buried by 0.5 cm. The containers with cuttings are placed in greenhouses. If done correctly, do not worry about rooting. In the spring cuttings are planted in open ground.
Reproduction by lignified cuttings.
Another way to propagate the action. The cuttings for this variant are harvested in late autumn. The length of the cutting is 15-20 cm, while it should have at least 3 buds. The desired number of cuttings are collected in a beam and fasten together. Then the beam is placed in a container with wet sand and stored in a dark room at a temperature of about 0 degrees. In the spring cuttings are planted in greenhouses or greenhouses. Further actions are the same as in the previous case.
Reproduction by layering.
Also Deytsiyu can be propagated by layering. For this spring, on the bush choose the strongest shoots that are as close as possible to the ground. Right under the bush you need to dig the grooves in which to place the selected stems. They are powdered with earth, leaving the tip on the surface. When such a layer takes root, it is separated and transplanted to another location.
Reproduction by dividing the bush.
This method is suitable if your bush has grown heavily. The shrub is carefully dug and the pruning shears separate several parts so that each part has strong, healthy roots. Places for each new bush should be prepared in advance to avoid drying out the roots. Also in spring you can transplant and root growth, which is formed on the root system deytion.
Preparation before landing
In order for Deitie to feel well and to decorate your garden for many years, she needs planting and high-quality care in the open field. In addition, it is important to conduct the necessary training. It is necessary to choose high-quality planting material, correctly determine the place for planting, prepare the soil.
Stage 1. Choosing seedlings.
Properly selected seedlings are a guarantee of the health of your future action. It is best to purchase planting material in nurseries or specialty stores.
When buying seedlings, carefully inspect the bushes. They should have whole, healthy kidneys, and there should be no signs of damage or disease. Saplings sell with both open and closed roots. The open root system makes it possible to assess its condition, and the plant in the container does not require immediate planting in open ground.
Stage 2. Choose a place for landing.
Deytsiya - light-loving plant, therefore, prefers open areas with protection from cold winds. The trees growing in the neighborhood will protect the action from the midday sun and create the necessary humidity for it.
Stage 3. Preparing the soil.
Deytion does not tolerate overmoistening of the soil, high groundwater levels are also unacceptable. The soil for it should be loose, fertile, neutral, well drained. The ideal option for full growth would be a mixture of compost, humus and sand.
Planting in open ground
Planting any plant should be correct and the action of the shrub is no exception. It also requires compliance with certain points. Inspect seedlings before planting. If the roots are overdried, they should be soaked in a clay mash for 2-3 hours. Also, the roots can be slightly pruned. If the roots are all right, proceed to the preparation of the soil. It needs to add a little fertilizer at the rate of 1 bucket of compost and 100 grams of nitrophoska per plant. The depth of the planting pit should be at least 0.5 m. Leave a distance of between 1.5 and 2.5 meters between seedlings. A drainage layer of 10–15 cm is poured at the bottom of each hole. Broken bricks, clay, or sand can be used. Next, lower the roots of seedlings into the pit and fill it with soil mixture. The root neck of the seedling should be no deeper than 2 cm or flush with the surface. Then the soil is compacted and watered abundantly. The final procedure is mulching of a wheel circle with sawdust or peat.
To stimulate tillering shoots can be cut.
Care for outdoor activities
Caring for the action is not at all burdensome, the main rule to follow is to follow the measure.
Watering.
Deytsiya has sufficient drought resistance, so it can safely do without water for a long time. However, under these conditions, it is difficult to count on a lush long bloom. The optimal irrigation regime for this crop is once a week. In especially hot, dry weather, the rate is increased to 2 buckets. In case of prolonged rains, the tree circle is covered with a waterproof material, since stagnant water is detrimental to action. In mid-August, watering stops.
Loosening and mulching.
After the rain and every watering is very desirable to loosen the ground around the bushes. This is done to saturate the soil with oxygen. At the same time with loosening remove weeds. If it is difficult to loosen in this mode, you can get out of the situation by mulching the soil. For this fit sawdust, dry peat or bark.
Top dressing.
All dressings are made exclusively during flowering. Under each bush add liquid manure dissolved in water. It will be useful 1-2 times per season to feed the action with complex mineral fertilizers or superphosphate.
Crop.
With the help of trimming you easily give the bush the correct form. Pruning deuterium spend twice per season: in the spring and autumn. In the spring remove all damaged and broken branches. In addition, shoots that have frozen over the winter are shortened. At the end of flowering branches that bloomed, pruned to a young escape. Shorten about a quarter. Thus, the bush will begin to branch.
Pest and disease control
We hope that with the help of our recommendations you will be able to easily place the action in your front garden. Now let's talk about such a moment as pests and diseases. Detion is very resistant to diseases and the appearance of pests. In rare cases, the shrub may be affected by the trunk eating leaves. A fairly effective measure to combat this pest is the treatment of the plant with karbofos.
Shelter for the winter
The only problem in growing deytion is the proper shelter for the winter. If you do not take care of this in a timely manner, the shoots of the action are frozen and it may not bloom. As shelter, you can use fallen leaves or straw. They close the near-stem circle. Particular attention is paid to young seedlings. Also for the shelter, you can use pine branches. Some varieties should be covered more thoroughly, such as burlap or spandbond. It is important with the onset of spring to remove the covering material in time, otherwise the root system may die.
Use in landscape design
The action on the photo, thanks to its decorative effect, is ideal for decorating and gardening your plot. But it will happen if you produce it properly and provide it with proper care. The undoubted advantage of the action is the large variation of its use. You will plant single shrubs on a green lawn, or create a hedge, place it next to conifers or separately from everyone in tubs, in any case, your action will become a central element that will give flowering splendor, filling your garden with the atmosphere of the East.
Deytsiya ( Deiitzia) - very beautiful shrubs, characterized by elegant and rich flowering. Different species reach a height of from 0.5 to 4 m. In gardening, they most often use deuterium rough (D. scabra), which grows up to 2 m. Leaves up to 10 cm long, rough, like emery paper. Flowers bell-shaped, collected in the brush. actions in the middle of summer, effectively and for a long time.
There are decorative terry forms of Candidissima with snow-white flowers.
Plena with white flowers, the outer row of petals is colored purple, etc.
In private gardens can be found deatii calcium color ( D. kalmiiflora)
Hybrid action ( D. x hybrida Strawberry Fields)
They are less winter-hardy than the action rough and require serious shelter. Peculiarities of cultivation: deedia are preferred by fertile soils with sufficient moisture, the plants are resistant to diseases and pests, grow well in urban conditions. Propagated by cuttings, seeds. In the middle lane, actions are in need of shelter for the winter. To do this, they spud, and the branches are bent down, pinned to the ground, sprinkled on top of fallen leaves or other materials. Despite the exceptional beauty, due to the low winter hardiness, it is risky to use the action when it is required to have a stable decorative effect from the plant. Each gardener chooses the plants that he likes. To appreciate the luxury of certain types and varieties of action, view the photos below:
Types and varieties of deytion: photo and description
ranked in the family Hortensia.
This perennial has more than five dozen species distributed in Mexico, East Asia, as well as on the slopes of the Himalayas. The well-known botanist Thunberg first saw a gorgeous plant in Japan and came up with a name for him - he named Johann van Deutz, the mayor of Amsterdam, who sponsored a maritime expedition to the East, and was always keen on floristics. Before reading the description and description of the action, look at the photo to make sure its attractiveness:
- Deytion - shrub sprawling or erect form, the height of which varies from 0.4 to 4 m.
- The leaves are opposite, finely toothed. Until the flowers bloom, the bush bears a certain resemblance to the honeysuckle.
- Last year's shoots are blooming. Numerous, odorless flowers are snow white or pink. They are collected in apical racemes.
- Fruits resemble miniature boxes.
Reproduction Methods
Shrubs are propagated in traditional ways, the most common of which is grafting. Good planting material is obtained from developed, healthy, half-woody shoots. The procedure is performed in June:- Prepare cuttings 12-14 cm long. The cut should be beveled.
- Sheets are shortened by half (cut off with scissors).
- Cuttings are planted under the film in a highly nourishing soil.
- Until rooting watering at least 2-4 times / day, then the frequency of watering can be reduced.
You can also grow deuterium with seeds. They are sown superficially, sprinkled with a thin layer of sand, covered with glass. Water 2-3 times / day, using a fine atomizer. Early shoots are shown after 1.5 months. When leaves appear on them, the plants dive into suitable open soil. The division of the bushes is the most elementary method of vegetative reproduction. The adult specimen is dug, carefully cutting the root system into several segments with a secateur. The planting of the deuterium and care in the open field is carried out immediately - according to the general rules (they will be discussed later).
Planting and caring for shrub deytsiya in open ground
For the shrub of the action, the care and planting of which requires attention, slightly shady areas under the canopy of deciduous trees are suitable, since there is maintained optimum air moisture and diffused light is present. It is advisable to avoid areas prone to drafts. The plant prefers rich, medium moisture soils, loams. He will enjoy the soil mix consisting of the following ingredients:- humus;
- peat;
- compost;
- sand;
- wood ash.
Strongly deepen seedlings can not, their root isthmus should be flush with the ground. The distance between shrubs is 1.5-2.5 m, and the row spacing is 2 m. After planting, the plant is watered generously, the tree stalk space is compacted, covered with peat mixture (layer - up to 7 cm). Look at the photo for some stages of planting and caring for it - they will serve as visual material for novice gardeners:
