young shoots grow rapidly. One month after landing,

Experienced growers recommend planting bushes at a distance of

Soil preparation and planting
Perennial shrub varieties are grown through sowing seeds on
seedlings, which allows for earlier flowering. For this
The soil is prepared in advance by adding lime to it. Seeds
evenly distributed over the surface of the soil. Sprinkle them

To bush well branched need to do nip sapling,
when it reaches a height of about 10 cm. After a while such
the plants are covered with buds. Seedlings are well tolerated landing in
