Какой участок выбрать для посадки Potentilla?
Despite the fact that the silverweed is considered to be a non-capricious plant,
give her the right place! Under all conditions, the plant
may bloom until the onset of cold weather.
The site for active growth of shrubs should
be:
• with fertile soil (but loam may come up),
• with a moderate content of humus in the ground,
• well lit
• with a pH of 7-8.5
• protected from northern winds,
• well drained.
Especially important is the level of illumination, since not all varieties
Potentilla grow well in the shade. Due to lack of sunlight
leaves and buds become not so bright color.

This will require a number of agrotechnical
events:
• Dig the area and remove all weeds.
• Prepare landing pits with a depth of 40-60 cm. Lay at the bottom
a layer of gravel for better drainage. It does not hurt to also add to the hole

Ways of planting Potentilla on the site
The most popular ways of planting potentilla – seeds and ready

plants. But not the fact that at the same time were all rules are followed –
perhaps the plant will not rise. Also, see the beautiful

Landing rules, in this case, are:
• Landing work is done in spring or summer when outdoors
warm temperature will be established.
• Lower the seeds soaked in water for a day in

just spread the seeds on the surface of the soil a little crushing them

• Liberally moisten the area.

Beginner gardeners should choose this agricultural technique.
Plant a bush like this:
• Process roots with a special compound for the best

• Water the earth, and around the seedlings fill a little needles or
sawdust as mulch.
Potentilla Care Rules
In experienced gardeners, silverweed grows by 10-15 years. Unpretentious
plant for the season gives a good increase in green mass, which
provides quick landscaping of the site – this is especially true for
species with pale colors of inflorescences.
Care rules are simple:
• Полив. Potentilla watered infrequently – quite
enough 1-2 times a month. If the summer was hot, make sure that
the soil around the shrub is not much dry. In frequent watering
only young seedlings need – moisten the soil once a week.
Do not use cold water – it can destroy the roots of the plant!
The average rate of watering – 1-1.5 buckets for each instance. To moisture
do not evaporate quickly, regularly update the mulch layer under
landings.
