At the end of May, the main and secondary roads and street corners in the downtown area of Hohhot will be filled with colorful grasses and flowers, bringing a pleasing visual experience to the public. Do you know where these grass flowers come from?
Dress up the beautiful messengers of the city
On April 29, the reporter saw at the seedling base of the New Urban Landscaping Service Center that these grasses and flowers that are about to add color to the city are being cultivated in greenhouses, and they will soon be able to meet with the citizens. Inside the greenhouse, the grass flowers that have just been cultivated are oily green, squeezed and squeezed into the flower cups, looking like a flat green carpet. Some of the monthly seasons and caryophyllus have already opened, and some have buds to be released.
Caryophyllus is a good ornamental flower
According to Shi Jinguang, director of the Landscaping Service Center of the New City, the base has a total of 20 greenhouses and 1.8 million seasonal flowers. Some of these flowers come from self-sowing and self-production, and partly from external introductions. In order to save costs and restore the original ecology, in recent years, the center has focused on cultivating indigenous flowers suitable for local growth, which have the advantages of water saving, drought resistance and cold resistance. For some perennial root flowers, the garden staff recycled them to the base greenhouse in winter to recuperate and survive the winter. The following spring, these root flowers sprout and bloom again. At present, the self-sown and self-produced grass flowers include Buddha beetle grass, marigold, peacock grass, hibiscus, dahlia, small lily, cannabis, etc., and the germination rate is more than 85%. Introduced grass flower varieties include dwarf morning glory, cockscomb flower, coleus, and sunflower. These grasses and flowers are colorful, and the streets of Qingcheng will be decorated with colorful colors.
