Propagation of cinquefoil (Kuril tea): cuttings, layering, seeds

Methods for propagating cinquefoil

Cinquefoil reproduces using:

seeds;
layering;
dividing the bush;
cuttings.

The choice of method depends on the preferences and capabilities of each gardener.

Seeds

It is not difficult to propagate cinquefoil from seeds, and this method is suitable for both novice gardeners and experienced professionals. The method is considered the most time-consuming, but if all stages are properly followed, it is in no way inferior in effectiveness to other options.

By layering

It is used in summer, when young, flexible shoots form on the bush. The process of propagation by layering is carried out as follows:

the lower part of the shoots, in places of contact with the ground, is trimmed;
shoots prepared in this way are sprinkled with a layer of fertile soil and fixed with a stone or metal bracket;
after a year, the cuttings are separated from the main bush and planted as an independent plant.

Dividing the bush

Reproduction by dividing the bush is done either in autumn or spring. In autumn, it is allowed to propagate cinquefoil in a similar way only in regions with a warm climate. To divide the bush you need:

dig around the bush on one side;
extract some of the roots with shoots, carefully separating them with a hatchet or shovel;
The main bush is covered with earth, and the extracted shoots are cut to a height of up to 30 centimeters, after which they are transplanted to a previously prepared place.

Many varieties of cinquefoil, including pink, lend themselves well to this method.

Cuttings

Any shoots are suitable as cuttings for propagation - both young and mature ones that have already become woody. Cuttings are separated from a healthy, disease-free bush. Cuttings are carried out together with the leaves, since it is in them that all processes vital for this method occur.

Plant propagation methods

Kuril tea is propagated in different ways: by seeds, cuttings, layering or dividing the bush. We will briefly describe them, starting with the most difficult.

Propagation by seeds

You need to collect seeds yourself, from existing plants, as they ripen, in September or October. In early spring, seeds are sown to obtain seedlings in special containers with a fertile substrate; after the first true leaf appears, they are planted in separate pots, and with the arrival of warm days, the seedlings are moved to open ground.

Cuttings

The cuttings may be green or already lignified. Young green branches are cut into pieces 9-12 cm long, leaving 2 leaf buds, upper and lower. The lower part of the cutting is dug in, and half of the leaf is removed from the upper part. Planting should be done within 2 days so that the seedling cuttings do not dry out. Then you should water and lightly mulch the soil. You can dig 3 plants into one hole and then separate them.

Kuril tea stalk

Lignified cuttings are harvested in the fall and stored all winter in a cool place; in early spring they are transplanted into fertilized soil in open ground.

Reproduction by dividing the bush

This is one of the easiest ways to propagate Kuril tea. An adult bush with a powerful root system and many branches is divided into parts, 3-4 branches each, and planted at a distance from each other, observing all agrotechnical requirements.

Attention! Such division is possible only for bushes aged 4 to 6 years, when the plant acquires a sufficient number of root shoots and upper shoots.

Description of popular varieties and varieties of cinquefoil

Many centuries have passed since this plant was first discovered and people learned about its beauty and healing properties. Thanks to the work of breeders, new varieties and hybrids of Kuril tea have appeared. In the photo you will see all the variety of these varieties: multi-colored shades of petals, the height of the bushes varies from low-growing plants to large specimens, the leaves also have different sizes and tones of color.

Experienced gardeners and landscape designers skillfully combine the decorative qualities of cinquefoil with other plants in the garden, achieving harmony with the surrounding nature and the emotional effect that the sight of a flower garden with a five-leaf plant produces on people.

Kuril tea (ordinary) is a shrub up to 1 meter high, has many branches with a dense spherical crown with a diameter of up to one and a half meters, flower petals are yellow, up to 3 cm in diameter, single or racemose. Flowering begins in June and ends in August. In the wild it grows on rocky mountain slopes; in the garden it takes root well on alpine hills.

Kuril tea (regular)

Abbotswood is a bush of medium height, up to 1 meter, snow-white flowers, a small crown, a little more than one meter in diameter. It blooms all summer and part of autumn, until October.

Abbotswood

Pretty Poly is a low-growing variety (up to 60 cm), early flowering (the first buds bloom in May), medium-sized soft pink flowers, spreading branches, compact, small crown.

Pretty Poly

Princess is an early flowering variety, up to 80 cm high, pink flowers, dense crown, almost even on top.

Princess

Goldteppich has large, bright yellow flowers, the shrub itself almost spreads along the ground, reaching a height of 50 to 70 cm, a long-blooming variety (May - October).

Description

Kuril tea is a highly branched bush that creates a lush, dense crown that looks like lace. The height of the plant varies from 20 to 150 cm, and the average width is 110 cm. Silky fresh shoots become brown in color after a short period. The bright green leaves are covered with soft, thick silvery hairs.

All types of cinquefoil have lacy, carved leaves, divided mainly into five lanceolate-shaped lobes, but there are specimens with three or seven lobes. The egg-shaped stipules grow together with the cuttings. The large flowers are wide open, flat and consist of five petals. There are single or collected in inflorescences in the form of a brush. The petals are mostly colored in a beautiful, rich yellow color.

Some types of Kuril tea (cinquefoil) have pink or white flowers. Flowering is constant, long-lasting, from the beginning of the summer months until mid-autumn. Some types of cinquefoil, under favorable conditions, delight with flowering, right up to the appearance of the first snow. Flowers bloom along the entire length of the shoots. The fruits are pubescent, sickle-shaped achenes that ripen in late August. The plant begins to bear fruit in the second year after planting and then annually. Under good conditions, a tea bush can grow in one place for up to 30 years.

Cuttings

Young green shoots, or adults that have managed to become lignified, are suitable for propagation of shrubby cinquefoil.

Young green cuttings are cut along with the leaves; it is in them that the process of photosynthesis occurs and the substances necessary for rooting and further development are produced.

Cuttings are cut from a healthy, well-developed bush of the variety you like and immersed in a growth stimulator. This procedure will improve the quality of planting material. On a sunny day, cuttings are cut before sunrise, and on a cloudy day - throughout the day.

Cuttings cannot be cut from flowering shoots; they will be weak, painful and may not take root at all.

It is best to pay attention to medium-sized shoots without flowers. The cuttings should have 2-4 internodes, so the cuttings themselves can be up to 12 cm long

At the bottom, the cut line runs within 5-10 mm from the kidney, and at the top, it is made directly above the kidney.

Planting material must be planted in the ground immediately, or at least no later than two days later, otherwise the leaves will simply wither and can be thrown away.

To protect against infectious diseases and pests, cuttings are treated with disinfectant compounds before planting in the soil mixture.

Lignified cuttings take root faster; this propagation method is even easier and simpler. They are cut from spring to late autumn, and if they are not planted immediately in open ground, they are buried in a substrate of sand and garden soil until spring.

Cuttings cut in the spring are treated with growth stimulants, disinfected, and then buried almost completely in the ground, only 1-1.5 cm of cuttings rise above the ground. In this case, we can hope that they will quickly take root and begin to grow and develop independently.

The substrate in which the cuttings are rooted must be constantly moistened; if it dries out, the cuttings may disappear and it will no longer be possible to revive them. Although, in general, such cuttings do not need high humidity in the room, and are even harmful. The same cannot be said about green cuttings - they need high humidity because they do not yet have roots, and they absorb moisture from the air with the help of leaves. Lignified cuttings extract it from the substrate.

Both green and woody cuttings are buried in clay or plastic pots with a drainage hole and a drainage layer.

Both cuttings must be kept in a shaded place. If it is a greenhouse, it is covered with an awning or the glass is painted with lime. In direct sunlight, the cuttings will dry out, wither and die.

The substrate for cuttings is made in advance from humus, limed peat, vermiculite or coarse sand. To enrich the substrate, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen are added to it - they will contribute to the development of the root system and the entire plant as a whole.

Cuttings of shrubby cinquefoil take root in 6-8 weeks, during this time the root system becomes strong and viable, and the cutting turns into a completely stable and independent plant.

Cuttings ready for planting in open ground are hardened - taken outside, or the covering in the greenhouse is removed, the temperature is reduced with “artificial fog”, by opening windows and vents. Hardening is carried out for 2-3 weeks before planting.

It is best to plant rooted cuttings in cloudy or rainy weather; they will grow to standard sizes in a permanent place with proper care; they will grow in 1-2 years.

How to propagate Kuril tea (shrub cinquefoil): in autumn, spring, how to take cuttings, video

Kuril tea, like other perennial plants, can be propagated in several ways: seeds, cuttings, layering, and division of rhizomes. Each method makes it possible to obtain derivative plants that do not differ in their characteristics from the parent, but at the same time, each of these methods has its own timing and distinctive features.

How to propagate shrubby cinquefoil

The most common method of propagating cinquefoil is the division of rhizomes. The method involves separating small parts from the roots of the mother plant. The cut parts are almost immediately buried in the soil.

The method of propagation by green cuttings is more complex and less effective. Green shoots of cinquefoil are cut into cuttings of a certain size, planted in a container with soil, covered with film and kept in this state until roots form. The process is quite time-consuming and requires certain skills in caring for plants.

For propagation by layering, cuts are made on shoots in contact with the soil and sprinkled with earth. After some time, roots will appear in this place, but the cuttings can only be separated after a year.

Propagating Kuril tea by seeds is the easiest and fastest way to get new plants. At the end of the summer season, the seeds are collected, cleaned, dried and stored in paper bags. In the spring they can be sown in the soil.

Each method differs not only in content, but also in timing. Between the end of July and the beginning of August, propagation of cinquefoil by layering and cuttings is optimal. It is recommended to divide the rhizomes in the spring, from late April to early May, as well as in September.

How to propagate Kuril tea from cuttings

The method of propagating shrubby cinquefoil by cuttings takes quite a lot of time. Before planting young shoots directly into the soil, it is necessary to properly prepare and root the cuttings. Until the roots form, certain care measures should be taken to create comfortable conditions for the growth of young animals.

Deadlines

July – August are the best months for propagating cinquefoil from cuttings. By this time, the shoots become green, elastic and well-ripened. When preparing cuttings, it is also important to take into account weather conditions and time of day.

If there are warm sunny days, then the most optimal period for the formation of cuttings from the mother cinquefoil bush will be the morning hours, preferably before sunrise. In case of cloudy weather, cuttings can be carried out throughout the day.

Potentilla cuttings should not be allowed to dry out and wither. It is necessary to prepare everything in advance and immediately plant the cuttings treated with disinfectants and stimulating agents after pruning into a container with soil. No more than 48 hours should pass from the moment of pruning to planting in the soil mixture.

Rules for taking cuttings

In order for the propagation of cinquefoil shrubby cuttings to be most effective, you should correctly approach the process of selecting shoots on the parent bush. The cuttings must be identical in size and appearance. The quality of young seedlings, as well as their further ability to grow and develop, depends on this.

To prepare planting cuttings, you can use almost all shoots of the parent cinquefoil bush. It is enough to retreat 3 - 5 cm from the base. If there are leaves on the remaining petioles, it is better to remove them. Each cutting should have 2 - 4 nodes. Depending on this, their length can reach from 8 to 12 cm.

Stimulating solutions can be purchased in specialized stores. Before using them, you must carefully study the instructions.

Some drugs are effective when diluted in cold water, others require boiling water or an alcohol solution.

You can prepare a stimulating solution yourself from 20–40 g of glucose or sucrose diluted in a liter of water. In addition, regular table sugar dissolved in water can serve as a nutritious natural carbohydrate element. Keeping the cuttings in the stimulating composition can be from 12 to 24 hours. The maximum temperature should not exceed 22 - 25 ℃.

To avoid rotting of the cut edges, the cuttings must be treated with potassium permanganate, which has effective disinfecting properties. To do this, 2 g of ammonium sulfate and 50 g of manganese are diluted in 1 liter of water.

After preparing and processing the cuttings, the next stage of cinquefoil propagation begins.

How to root cinquefoil cuttings

The cuttings prepared in the spring are planted in a large container with a nutrient substrate and drainage holes in the lower part. You can plant cinquefoil shoots directly into the ground by choosing a shaded area in the garden. Each shoot must be covered with a jar or plastic bottle. Emerging buds can interfere with the rooting process, so they should be removed.

Green cuttings absorb moisture from the air with the help of leaves, so they especially need high humidity. Lignified cuttings depend on the moisture content of the substrate. The soil must be kept moist at all times. For complete rooting, it is necessary to spray the cuttings at least 3 to 4 times a day.

The nutrient substrate is prepared in advance. It should consist of humus, coarse sand and calcareous peat. To increase its quality content, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are added.

Within 6 - 8 weeks after cuttings, the shoots turn into independent plants with a strong root system.

After growth appears on the rooted cuttings, they can be transplanted into the soil to a permanent place.

Transplantation into the ground

Before planting cinquefoil shoots in open ground, they must first be prepared and hardened. Hardening can be done in various ways:

opening windows and vents in the room where the cuttings are located;
temperature reduction using fogging systems (artificial fog);
taking containers with planting material outside;
removal of greenhouse cover.

All these measures will allow you to adapt ready-made rooted cinquefoil cuttings to the natural and climatic conditions of the garden. Hardening procedures are recommended to be carried out within 2-3 weeks before planting in the ground.

Propagation of cinquefoil by cuttings is possible not only at the end of summer, but also in late autumn. In this case, it is better to use woody annual shoots.

They are cut into cuttings 10–12 cm in size and almost completely buried in the nutrient substrate, leaving 1–1.5 cm on the surface. The upper bud is also not sprinkled with soil. From this moment until rooting, it is necessary to create shade conditions.

Lime liquid can be applied to the glass of greenhouses, which will protect the planted cinquefoil cuttings from direct sunlight.

The most favorable weather for transplantation is cloudy and rainy weather. Within 1 - 2 years, the cuttings will reach standard sizes, subject to basic care rules.

Propagation of cinquefoil by layering

This is the easiest and fastest way to propagate Kuril tea. Its dates are spring and summer. The soil around the mother cinquefoil is loosened and fertilized with a mixture of sand and peat.

On a cinquefoil bush, they choose strong, woody, but quite flexible shoots located in close proximity to the soil surface. They are cleared of leaves and side branches, then neat cuts are made, lightly pressed to the ground and sprinkled with soil.

To better fix the grounding of the shoot, press it with a stone or a wire loop.

The shoots are directed in different directions from the cinquefoil bush at a distance of at least 10 cm from each other. In order for the buds to awaken better, the ends of the branches are cut off by 7 - 10 cm. Several shoots can grow on the layering from the buds.

Roots should appear within 10 days, but do not rush to separate the new plant. It is necessary to give him time to fully strengthen.

Layers can be separated and planted in another place in the fall, but it is better to do this after a year.

Until this moment, they need to be watered and fed with a fertile mixture of sand, humus and earth, taken in equal quantities, separately from the parent cinquefoil bush.

In autumn, bent rooted branches are cut off with pruning shears, dug up and divided according to the number of vertical shoots. Each cinquefoil seedling must have a root and at least one shoot. From one layer you can get up to 6 seedlings. Strong shoots are planted in the soil, weak shoots are grown.

Propagation of Kuril tea by layering is the most effective. Layers are more viable than cuttings. This method of vegetative propagation has proven itself well in dry conditions and in areas without regular watering.

Propagation of cinquefoil by seeds

Potentilla seeds are collected at the end of August and until mid-autumn, depending on the weather conditions of the region. They can be sown immediately or dried and stored for several years. When growing cinquefoil from seeds, you must follow certain rules.

Before planting, the soil must first be loosened and leveled with a rake. The seeds are spread over the surface and lightly pressed down. Apply a small layer of nutritious soil on top and water well.

Within 2 - 3 weeks, small sprouts will appear from the seeds. In a month they can be planted at a distance of at least 40 cm from each other. The seedlings are watered and the ground is sprinkled with sawdust or pine needles.

They will be able to reach adulthood only after 4–5 years.

Propagation of shrubby cinquefoil by seeds, subsequent care and cultivation does not require special effort or skills. This method, in comparison with others, provides the largest number of shoots and the best efficiency of their growth.

How to propagate cinquefoil by dividing the bush

The right time to divide roots is spring or warm autumn. The mother cinquefoil must be at least 4 years old. The selected bush is carefully dug up with a pitchfork so as not to damage the root system.

Healthy roots are separated with a hatchet or shovel. The rest are planted back into the soil and watered. Each isolated part should have 2 - 3 buds. The roots are treated with any mixture that promotes qualitative improvement and acceleration of their formation.

Thick roots are cut into pieces 5–7 cm.

Description and biological features of cinquefoil

Cinquefoil, which belongs to the large Rosaceae family, has more than five hundred species. Depending on the species, the plant can be either herbaceous or shrubby.

Every gardener knows how to root cinquefoil.

Many types of cinquefoil grow naturally in northern regions. This determines the increased frost resistance of varieties grown under cultivated conditions.

Plant height ranges from 40-50 cm to 150 cm and depends on the species. The leaves are pinnate or multipartite, green or grayish-green in color. The flowers are small, most often collected in paniculate or corymbose inflorescences. Their color can be very diverse: cream, golden yellow, pink, red, white.

Cinquefoil prefers open, well-lit places and light, well-drained soil with weak acidity. The plant is often used for both single and group plantings; they are planted on alpine hills, among stones, along borders.

Application of Cinquefoil Shrub in landscape design

This plant has several other names: Kuril tea, Cinquefoil, Dasiphora. Belongs to the Rosaceae family. To date, about 20 new varieties have been bred, which have different colors of small (about 3 cm in diameter) flowers.

The shape of the cinquefoil can be spherical and creeping, dwarf and cushion-shaped. There are a lot of options for where to plant this undemanding plant.
Some species grow very quickly and tolerate pruning well. It is these varieties that are best planted as border hedges. They can be given a shape that they hold perfectly. These varieties look great as a solo plant.
Those species that grow quite slowly are recommended for planting in rock gardens. There, creeping and creeping perennial plants can become their neighbors. It is recommended to plant heucheras nearby, which form a good ensemble with cinquefoil.
Creeping varieties and those with white blooms look great with conifers. The recommended neighbor is juniper (preferably with a bluish tint to the needles). Dwarf pines look good in this composition.
Varieties of cinquefoil that have yellow blooms are combined with plants that have lilac or blue blooms, for example, lavender or hyssop, catnip.
Kuril tea and cotoneaster, Thunberg's barberry always complement each other well.

A huge advantage of the plant is its very long flowering period: throughout the summer season you can admire the greenery and flowering shrubs, and from the second half of August until almost the end of autumn, the cinquefoil acquires a brighter color, and the green foliage is additionally painted silver.

Potentilla varieties and wild species

Below are 10 of the most interesting varieties of shrubby cinquefoil, recommended for gardens, summer cottages and personal plots.

Wild species

Wild varieties of cinquefoil are perennials with small leaves and tiny, yellow flowers of 5 petals. This plant reproduces independently by layering and spreads quickly. In a short time it can occupy quite a large space. White cinquefoil stands out against the background of wild varieties.

This is a wild perennial plant. Sometimes the bush appeared in gardens, but the cultivation of white cinquefoil was not carried out on a large scale. It is a very attractive plant though.

It grows in shady but not dark forests, where it produces large interesting leaves, above which a not too large, delicate white flower appears.

The plant forms low bushes and is used in gardens as a ground cover shrub, since it does not exceed 25 cm and rarely reaches even this height. Ideal for rustic gardens.

Propagation by cuttings

This procedure can be carried out in several ways:

seeds;
layering;
cuttings of different types.

Reasons for the popularity of the method

The last method is considered the most popular and widespread among gardeners. It is used in early spring not only for the propagation of cinquefoil, but also for the propagation of other deciduous shrubs (fuchsia, hydrangea) and some trees (maple, birch, deciduous magnolia) in the garden and flower beds.

There are plant species that are quite difficult to spread. In this case, propagation using green cuttings is very helpful. Among other possible methods, this has the highest survival rate. Using this method, you can propagate your favorite rare plant in unlimited quantities.
Cuttings for propagation are taken from the beginning of spring until June. Shoots from young shrubs adapt and take root better than those from older shrubs.
In addition, such pruning promotes the appearance of new shoots on the plant. Thus, an adult bush can become a good mother specimen.
You can get many shoots and propagate the plant in any quantity. And if it is possible to place the cuttings in a heated greenhouse for the winter months, then this method can be used to propagate cinquefoil throughout the summer season.

Propagation by green cuttings

In young shoots, educational tissues are in a more active state and increased metabolism contributes to faster rooting and development of the young plant.

How to prune cinquefoil (Kuril tea) in autumn, spring, timing, bush formation

Cinquefoil reproduces both by seed and vegetatively. The simplest and most effective is the latter, since cultivating cinquefoil from seeds is a troublesome task and it is impossible to preserve varietal qualities.

Thus, if a small set of agrotechnical requirements are met, the cinquefoil will delight the grower with abundant flowering throughout not only the summer season, but also half of the autumn period. Cinquefoil is a large genus of the Rosaceae family.

There are perennial and annual varieties presented as herbaceous plants or small shrubs. Growing shrubby and herbaceous cinquefoil is no different and is not too labor-intensive.

The main thing is to weed, water, feed the plant in time, and also do not forget about mulching, loosening the soil around and removing faded flowers, leaves and weeds.

How to deal with diseases and pests of Kuril tea

Cinquefoil is not very susceptible to disease, but sometimes, if regular preventive treatment of the plant is not carried out, it can be affected by powdery mildew, rust or leaf spot. In garden plots, city parks and flower beds at the beginning of the season, that is, in the spring, plants are sprayed with chemicals against diseases and pests: a solution of copper sulfate or a fungicide.

Advice. Young bushes that have contracted powdery mildew in the first year of planting must be removed from the site, and nearby plants must be treated with the above-mentioned agents.

Kuril tea is rarely attacked by pests, but if this happens, preparations containing substances with a pungent odor will help scare them off: ammonia solution, garlic tinctures, decoctions of tomato tops.

Kuril tea - a medicinal plant

Kuril tea is grown in household plots not only as a medicinal plant, but also its natural beauty is used in combination with all kinds of plants.

Kuril tea looks really colorful, gives a lot of pleasure, pleases the eye with its grace, and at the same time with its pristine beauty.

Combination of Kuril tea with other plants

In gardens and dachas, they practice planting Kuril tea not only for the purpose of obtaining medicinal raw materials, but also for decorative purposes. The combination of low-growing varieties of cinquefoil together with carpet phlox, heuchera, mantle, dwarf pines and junipers allows you to effectively design a rockery or alpine hill, and with geraniums and ornamental grasses - to arrange a border, mixborder, mini-flower garden, ridge.

Judging by the photo, the combination of tall Kuril tea bushes with decorative willows, junipers, yews, thujas and other coniferous plants against the background of lawns and when landscaping slopes looks no less successful. To create flowering tracts and hedges, Kuril tea bushes are planted together with spirea, cotoneaster, euonymus, roses, barberries, and deutzia.

Easy care, high decorative value and wide possibilities for use in landscape design have made Kuril tea incredibly popular among gardeners. By growing one of its varieties on your plot, it is easy to create a beautiful garden corner and enjoy its flowering for a long time.

Planting cinquefoil

Growing shrubby cinquefoil is not difficult even for a beginner. Planting of seedlings begins in the spring, when the snow melts and the soil thaws. But if you are late in this matter, planting or transplanting cinquefoil can also be done in late summer - early autumn.

The planting hole should be approximately 2 times deeper and wider than the seedling's earthen ball. Drainage (preferably lime gravel) must be placed at the bottom, after which the hole is approximately half filled with a mixture of humus, leaf soil and sand (in a ratio of 2:2:1), and 150 g of complex mineral fertilizer for ornamental plants is added there. The seedling is lowered into the hole and covered with the same soil mixture so that its root collar is located slightly above the ground level. Then the soil is compacted and watered abundantly.

For group plantings, the distance between seedlings should be at least 30 cm.

To prevent the soil from drying out quickly, the planting site is mulched with straw, bark or sawdust. This is especially true in the first 3-4 weeks after planting, since if there is a lack of moisture, the seedling does not take root well and may die.

When to fertilize

It is not at all difficult to care for such a plant, like all similar plantings, cinquefoil requires little:

Regular watering, especially in hot weather.
Fertilizing in spring, during active flowering and in autumn. Usually mineral fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium are used, and nitrogen components are added in the autumn.
Pruning is carried out constantly throughout the growing season.

Pruning regularly
In open ground, cinquefoil takes root perfectly if the listed growing conditions are observed and the plant is regularly cared for (watering + fertilizer).

How to care for Kuril tea and how to prune bushes

When Kuril tea has been planted, rational care is required - the success of the plant’s survival depends on this. The tree trunk area is mulched with hay or peat. During dry seasons, the young bush is supplied with water daily for 2-3 weeks.

Some stages of planting Kuril tea and caring for it in the future, look at the photo:

Gardeners really like such an unpretentious plant as Kuril bush tea - planting and caring for it does not require any difficulties or professional skills.

Pay attention to the following points:

Feeding. The first application of mineral fertilizers is carried out during transplantation of the bush from a greenhouse container to a permanent place. Plants that have not yet fully taken root are not recommended to be fed very actively. During the period of intensive growth and flowering, mineral supplements with a predominance of phosphorus and potassium will be appropriate. Nitrogen-containing preparations are good in the spring, but are contraindicated in the fall.
Watering. Although drought resistance is one of the advantages of Kuril bush tea, caring for it does not eliminate the need to water this plant. Several waterings are required per season (10 liters of water per bush), followed by mulching the soil around the trunk. If the summer turns out to be too hot, then the crown is additionally sprayed.
Trimming. It is important to know how to trim Kuril tea so that it fully fulfills decorative tasks on the site. They trim bushes in cloudy weather, towards evening. The shoots are shortened by 8-12 cm, and all dry and diseased branches are removed. Shaping haircuts are performed to maintain the crown in a neat condition throughout the summer season.

Cinquefoil is almost not susceptible to common diseases or pest aggression. Occasionally it is affected by rust. In such a situation, it would be advisable to use 2% sulfur.

A mature plant overwinters safely under the snow, without shelter. In very frosty winters, the tops of young shoots may freeze. Kuril tea is refreshed by pruning - branches damaged by the cold are simply cut off in the spring. This does not negatively affect flowering, since it occurs on the shoots of the current season. It is advisable to cover bushes of the 1st year of life with mulch for the winter.

Cinquefoil will add zest to your favorite garden and provide incredibly valuable supplies of medicinal material. Kuril tea does not require complex or specific care, which attracts the close attention of gardeners and evokes sympathy from connoisseurs of original plot design.

When and how to propagate yellow or other colored cinquefoil

You can propagate your favorite variety by seeds, layering, cuttings and dividing the bush.

The seed method is the most labor-intensive, since seedlings flower only in the second or fourth year of life. Therefore, the bushes on the site are usually propagated vegetatively, that is, cinquefoil cuttings are performed.

Important! The best time to use one method or another is spring and summer. In this case, the survival rate of planting material will be maximum

Growing cinquefoil from seeds

This method is used very rarely, only when it is not possible to obtain other planting material. Seedlings of the first year appear 3-4 weeks after sowing. Since the seeds are very small, they do not need to be embedded in the soil; they are sown on the surface throughout the summer. The seedlings are thinned out, leaving at least 15 cm between individual specimens.

The growth of the first year is small - up to 15 cm in height, no more. From the second year, exclusively ornamental garden varieties begin to bloom, and for the natural form of shrubby cinquefoil, flowering is typical for plants older than 4 years.

How to plant cinquefoil by dividing the bush

This method of propagating shrubby cinquefoil is suitable for those gardeners who have a cinquefoil bush growing on their property that is older than 6-7 years. It is dug up in the last ten days of May or the first ten days of September. Using a sharp knife, cut the bush into 2-3 parts, leaving a strong bunch of roots on each. Each part is immediately planted in a new place.

Important! To ensure rapid establishment, the divisions need to be watered every week, and 4 weeks after planting, nitrogen (spring) or potassium-phosphorus (autumn) fertilizing should be done.

Cinquefoil - propagation by cuttings

With equal success, shoots that have become lignified and younger (green) ones can be used for cutting cuttings. For successful rooting, immediately after cutting, the shoots are dipped in a growth stimulator. The best time to cut is early morning or late evening.

Important! Propagation by cuttings of shrubby cinquefoil cannot be carried out by shoots with buds, since the likelihood of roots forming on such branches is minimal. A good cutting is a branch 10-15 cm long, which has no buds, but has 2-4 internodes with healthy green leaves

The lower section is 5-10 mm from the kidney, and the upper one is immediately above the kidney

A good cutting is a branch 10-15 cm long, on which there are no buds, but there are 2-4 internodes with healthy green leaves. The lower cut is 5-10 mm from the bud, and the upper cut is located immediately above the bud.

Seedling container with cinquefoil cuttings

The shelf life of cuttings is up to 2 days. After this, the leaves wither and there is no chance of rooting. Since the rooting period is quite long, the soil and planting container should be disinfected to prevent the appearance of fungi and mold.

Reproduction

Using the vegetative method: using green or lignified cuttings, root shoots or layering, and dividing the bush, Kuril tea is planted and grown.

Propagation by seeds is preferable when breeding species of plants. They are planted in the spring to produce seedlings. To do this, the seed material is sown densely and not buried. About thirty days after sowing, young sprouts are planted in open ground.

Planting shrubby cinquefoil seeds in open ground

Shrub cinquefoil is a perennial crop that is convenient to grow using seeds planted in open ground.

With this method of breeding, beginning gardeners should pay attention to the following points:

convenient time for sowing;
carrying out preparatory activities to help prepare the soil for planting.

If they are followed, the process of adaptation and growth of the cinquefoil will take place without incident, and beautiful bushes will appear on the site, harmoniously fitting into almost any landscape.

When to sow seeds

Planting cinquefoil seeds in open ground is typical for herbal varieties, however, shrub varieties are also amenable to this method of cultivation, and there should be no problems. Planting time depends on the choice of soil:

in autumn the seeds are sown in open ground;
in spring - for seedlings.

Each method has its own nuances that should be considered separately.

Planting shrubby cinquefoil in spring

The herbaceous crop is planted in the spring, for seedlings, starting in March. To do this, the seeds are grown in specially prepared, fertile soil, which is covered with polyethylene. When choosing this method of propagation, do not forget to regularly irrigate the seeds and maintain the ambient temperature around 15-20 o.

In autumn they are planted in open ground. Closer to winter, the seedlings are covered with a special material that prevents freezing. The first year after planting, the cinquefoil will not bloom, and you will have to be patient until the start of the next season.

Note! Spunbond can be used as a covering material

The nuances of planting cinquefoil in the fall

Planting seeds in the fall is carried out without stratification, which saves the gardener’s time and effort. Seeds planted in this way will give powerful shoots in the spring, after which they can only be planted separately from each other, enjoying the beauty and comfort of the site.

Preparatory work on the ground

An important set of measures, the implementation of which will ensure stable growth and flowering of the bush. Preparatory work consists of:

choosing a landing site;
soil preparation;
digging a planting hole;
choosing the distance between seedlings;
sowing.

Choosing a landing site

You need to plant cinquefoil in a specially prepared place that best meets all the requirements. Any shrub-type plants prefer sunny places with light, fertile soil. Keep in mind that in hot climates, prolonged exposure to sunlight will cause petals to fade. This applies to varieties whose buds are red.

The shade for this plant is not critical, but in this case its decorative characteristics drop noticeably. In addition, different varieties of cinquefoil have their own preferences regarding the level of illumination, which also need to be taken into account.

Preparing the soil for planting

Bushes prefer to grow in soil that meets the following requirements:

the soil is loose;
with weak acidity;
has good drainage properties;
The soil should contain a small amount of lime.

These requirements are not difficult to meet and should not cause any problems.

Characteristics of the planting pit

The planting hole dug for seedlings has the following characteristics:

The width of the hole is 2 times the width of the earthen clod covering the roots of the bush.
The depth is also 2 times the size of the earth clod.
The bottom of the pit is covered with gravel or other material with similar properties to increase drainage properties.
Half the volume of the planting pit is filled with sand, humus and soil obtained after rotting leaves, in the following proportions: one share of sand, 2 shares of humus, 2 shares of earth.
The seedling is placed in a hole, after which the void is filled with the same earthen mixture.
The root collar should protrude slightly above the ground level.

Sowing seeds

Seeds are planted in special beds, which are not difficult to form. This method is not recommended for novice gardeners, and for the first time it is advisable to grow seeds for seedlings indoors, and only then place them in open ground. The composition of the soil in the garden bed should correspond to the composition of the soil in the planting hole.

Group landing distance

It is important to maintain the correct distance between cinquefoil seeds so that each bush receives the right amount of nutrients and sunlight without interfering with the development of others. Experienced gardeners advise not to sow seeds or seedlings of this plant closer than 40 centimeters from each other.

Stick to the indicated scheme, and there will be no problems with the development of the bush.

Kuril bush tea: planting and care

The plant grows well in rocky soils. It is possible to plant and replant cinquefoil after the snow melts, as well as in early September. During prolonged dry weather, the plant is regularly watered and sprayed for three weeks after planting. Next, carry out one-time abundant watering in the evening (no more than three times during the entire summer period), pouring up to 12 liters of water under the bush, then mulch with humus.

The first fertilizing is applied immediately after planting and consists of mineral fertilizers (20 g), wood ash and lime (150 g). The second feeding is done immediately before flowering. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizer is dissolved in water (the proportions are indicated in the instructions for use) and the plant is watered at the root. Timely application of fertilizing results in abundant flowering.

How to propagate Kuril tea from cuttings

Deadlines

Rules for taking cuttings

The cut cuttings are aligned along the bottom edge and tied with twine into bundles of 25–50 pieces. The next stage of preparation is the treatment of the cuttings with growth stimulants, which promote the rapid development of a powerful root system. Stimulating solutions can be purchased in specialized stores. Before using them, you must carefully study the instructions. Some drugs are effective when diluted in cold water, others require boiling water or an alcohol solution.

Botanical description

Dasiphora fruticosa

The cinquefoil plant is a perennial (less often annual and biennial) bush with erect, ascending or widened, sometimes creeping stems. Places of growth: Central Asia, Eastern Siberia, Mongolia, Japan, China, Far East.

Kuril tea or white cinquefoil

The first mention of Kuril tea as a medicine was found in records dedicated to ancient Tibetan medicine. Even then, Tibetan healers began to study the effect of the plant on the human body and came to significant results.

Today there are more than 50 varieties of cinquefoil, which are especially common in the Far East, China, Japan and Mongolia. Those who have been to North America, Europe and the Caucasus could also see this plant, but at these points in its range it is more of a rarity than a common bush.

Much more often it can be seen in well-groomed front gardens and among hedges as a decorative element. This is not surprising - along with abundant flowering, creating a bright mood, the plant does not require special growing conditions.

Cinquefoil (Kuril tea is the name given by Russian settlers who borrowed the habit of the peoples of the Far North to drink an infusion from it as a table drink) can grow up to 1.5 m. However, to reach such a height it requires fairly fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering , otherwise Kuril tea grows only up to 10–50 cm.

This natural elixir reduces stress after physical activity and intense muscle work.

Oblong pinnately compound leaves are usually formed from the fusion of five smaller leaves, visually forming a quintuple. This plant is a long-liver, as it can live in one place for more than 30 years.

Kuril tea blooms at the end of May or beginning of June - abundantly, with a bright yellow color, already 2-3 years after planting. It is impossible not to recognize it at this time - this stately plant is so striking. In place of faded buds, new ones appear, and so on until autumn, because shrubby cinquefoil is very cold-resistant and is capable of blooming and bearing fruit at the same time.

Not only at that time, but even now, cinquefoil is used to treat infectious diseases, problems of the genitourinary and digestive systems, etc. In terms of taste, Kuril tea can be easily confused with ordinary black tea. Therefore, regularly taking cinquefoil as a medicine does not cause any inconvenience.

Choosing a landing site

All types and varieties of Kuril tea, care and cultivation are not particularly difficult; to obtain the maximum number of flowers, they should be cultivated in an open sunny area, protected from the wind. The plant feels comfortable in proximity to trees and other shrubs that protect the cinquefoil from direct sunlight and provide light shading. However, it should be remembered that the plant should not be in the shade for most of the daylight hours. The most unpretentious varieties are those with yellow and white flowers.

Varieties with flowers painted yellow are the most frost-resistant. Tea bushes with pink flowers should be covered in winter and fed more often. They bloom later than yellow-flowered varieties.

What are the benefits of Kuril tea?

Covering the roots with a layer of mulch for the winter, infrequent watering and fertilizing are minimal measures when caring for cinquefoil. The beneficial properties of Kuril tea have long been used by hunters; they knew about its anti-inflammatory effect and, in order to protect themselves from viral infections, they threw one pinch of tea into hot water. A remedy that gives strength - that’s what they thought in the old days. Medical sources contain information that an infusion made from Kuril tea can neutralize rotavirus and even vibrio cholera.

A decoction of Kuril tea, due to the content of cobalt, potassium, manganese, iron, calcium, increased presence of ascorbic acid, vitamin A, PP, tannins, essential oils, taken orally, strengthens the immune system and improves the external condition of the skin. A decoction of Kuril bush tea (planting and care is described above) is used:

in surgery and traumatology - for washing wounds;
in dermatology - for various inflammatory diseases of the dermis;
in ophthalmology - in the treatment of conjunctivitis and inflammation of the tear ducts;
in dentistry - for the treatment of gums;
in endocrinology - for pathology of the thyroid gland;
in gastroenterology - for poisoning, dysbacteriosis;
in urology - for cystitis, pathologies of the urinary tract;
in gynecology - with inflammation of the appendages, with heavy menstruation;
in cosmetology - for taking baths, strengthening hair and protecting it from oily shine.

Kuril bush tea is also widely used in folk medicine. Consumer reviews note its positive effect in treatment:

pneumonia and bronchitis;
sore throats, colds;
vaginitis, colpitis.

Gardeners (both professionals and amateurs) prefer cinquefoil when decorating gardens, parks, squares, flower beds, landscaping slopes, and also use it as hedges.

How to plant a plant

Planting of shrub varieties of Kuril tea in open ground is carried out with the onset of April, in holes up to ½ m deep, dug 2 weeks before. The distance between individual bushes depends on the purpose of planting:

for free groups – 1.2 m;
for a complete massif – 0.5 m.

Attention! In the southern regions, planting Kuril tea bushes can be done in the fall.

Kuril tea bushes grow well on fertile soils consisting of leaf soil, humus and sand. To provide them with good drainage, create a 20 cm drainage layer of pebbles or bricks at the bottom of each hole, and then add soil on top. When planting, the soil should be fertilized by adding organic matter and a double dosage of complex mineral fertilizers.

When planting a crop, you should shorten the long roots, and then place it in a hole and cover it with soil so that the root collar is flush with the surface. Having lightly compacted the soil, water and add soil again and mulch the tree trunk circle.
