Nothing indicates the arrival of spring as eloquently as the glades of flowering primroses. Their appearance is always a small holiday, because winter has receded, and a new garden season awaits us ahead. But, apart from spring primroses, there is still something to see and admire in April.

When planting iris, it is necessary to make a light depression with a small mound.Place a flower on this mound, spread the roots well, and, compacting, cover them with earth. Delenki plants should not be greatly deepened, as the root should be well heated by the sun.
The prepared material of bearded iris when planted in the ground in spring must be processed. If the rhizome is very long, it is necessary to cut it a little, remove the rotted places and keep in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for about 20 minutes.

Important!Irises can not bloom on acidic soil! In this case, the plant will have a lot of strong leaves, but it will not throw out the buds. Dilute the soil is possible by adding ash, lime or.
Watering
The accumulation of water and nutrients in irises occurs in the root system. Therefore, they need watering only during dry summer and during the flowering period in order to prolong it.
Pruning leaves and withered shoots
In August, the leaves begin to slowly die off, this may serve as a signal that it is necessary to make sanitary pruning. To do this, completely remove all dried leaves, shorten the rest by half or one third.
In such an uncomplicated way, you can save the plant from all sorts, the carriers of which are old leaves and flowering peduncles.
Separately about feeding
In the spring
The plant needs in the spring. You can make a solution under the root of the iris. This top dressing will help the development of leaves and increase the size of the flowers.
Black flowers belong to the colors of dark shades bred by breeders.

But when the flower blooms in the garden, maroon or ink shades begin to appear on the petals. Immediately there are doubts about the authenticity of the variety. Indeed, regrading has become commonplace in the sale of planting material. But the problem may be quite different.
The color of flowers varies depending on the acidity of the soil.
Real black can be obtained on neutral soil (pH close to 7). If the pH value of the acid deviates towards acidic reaction, then blue-violet shades appear in the color. And if in the direction of alkaline, the red-maroon.
Regulate the acidity of the soil in different ways. Increased its introduction of peat and acidifying fertilizers (for example, for azaleas). But, as a rule, in our areas weakly acidic soil. In this case, it is necessary to lime. This is done with the help of lime, chalk, dolomite flour and ash. The application rate depends on the acidity (200-400 g / m2).
