Introduction: Flowers fall and blossom without interruption, and spring comes and goes unrelatedly. Peony is the most expensive spring festival, although peony is only in early summer. Only this flower does not tire of blooming, and the year is long and occupies four o'clock in the spring. This is Su Shi's praise poem for the moon flower, which has attracted people's love from ancient times to the present. Today dawn takes you to enjoy a classic monthly season. Do good things to know how to share, I hope you like.
Its name is "Earl of Eve ▪", which is a classic monthly variety launched by Maryland International in France in 1983, and is the ancestor of the Eve series, which is based on it. Moon flower lovers are very familiar with the variety, and even some flower friends said: "If you don't plant Eve Moon Season, you don't count planting Moon Season", which shows the degree of love of the majority of flower friends for Eve series. It has a super high appearance, large flower type, strong aroma, large flower volume, and diligent flowering, so it quickly became popular and was widely cultivated all over the world.
Earl Eve ▪ features:
Plant type: Earl Eve ▪ is a small shrub, with a height of 80-100 cm and a crown width of about 40-60 cm. The branches are very strong, the tree shape is very upright and branching, the leaf surface is smooth, emerald green and shiny, there are few thorns on the body, and the sparse and sparse ones are not obvious. The self-plasticity of the plant type is also very good, the amount of pruning is small, and the pruning is mainly after the flowering to promote compound flowering. Originally used as a cut flower, it is now widely used for potted ornamental planting, which is very suitable for balcony planting and can also be planted on the ground. Planted in a no. 2 gallon pot size pot, it has been well received by moonflower lovers and has been selected as one of the "most worthwhile monthly flower varieties" for many times.
Flower performance: Count Eve's ▪ flowers resemble peonies, its flowers are relatively large, and the diameter of each flower is about 14 cm. The flower type is round, thick and full. The number of petals is about 80, the petals are edged with a layer of feather lace, the petals are fluffy, and when they are fully opened, they are shaped like peonies of the national color. Its flower color is rose red, and the color of the petal edges is darker, especially the silver luster on the back of its petals, which echoes with the unique rose red, which is not only gorgeous and dazzling, but also not tacky, very beautiful.
Flower volume: Earl Eve flowers are relatively large, belongs to the class of flowers, a mature Earl Eve, if not budding, the amount of flowers is very large, will bend the branches. But buds are a must, and in order to ensure that the flowers bloom larger, the flower type is more beautiful. Flowering is more diligent, multi-season repeated flowering, as long as there is sufficient nutrients, flowers bloom one stubble after another, about 28 days a flowering cycle. The same is the spring and autumn flowers are very large, and the number of high temperature flowers in the summer will be less.
Flowering period: The single flowering period is very long, from the flower bud to the withering, it can last for 25 days, the ornamental is very strong, and it is not worse than many cut roses. The flowering period can be from April to November. Compound flowers are also very fast, this wave of flowers blooms, rest less than a month, the next wave of flowers will come again.
Floral fragrance: Earl Eve ▪ blossoms when the floral fragrance is more intense, when flowering will volatilize a rich aroma of old roses, the aroma is fragrant, fragrant, very good smell, people standing more than ten meters away can smell, let people mood will become happy. Cut a bouquet of flowers and insert it into the bottle, you can decorate the living room, and you can also fill the house with incense.
Adaptability: Earl Eve ▪ plant size is not large, the plant growth rate is slower than the ordinary shrub monthly season, but very strong. With certain hardiness properties, adult plants can safely overwinter in most places in the north, and also have a certain shade tolerance. Therefore, whether it is a potted plant or a ground plant is a good choice, and it is arranged on the balcony and terrace with a good ornamental effect.
Heat resistance: Heat resistance is also good. Standard flowers can also bloom in areas such as Liangguang, but the flowers will be smaller, spread quickly, and can only be maintained for 3 days. Of course, this is also a common disease in most months and seasons.
Disease resistance: Earl Eve ▪ generally does not have pests and diseases, because the leaves have a waxy layer of protection, and there are generally fewer pests and diseases. Even a small number of infected pests and diseases can be cured in time. This is also a major factor in the choice of many people to grow Earl Eve ▪, and a major reason why I recommend newbies to grow.
The main points of earl cultivation of Earl Eve ▪ are as follows:
1. Illumination
Count Eve ▪ loves light, and the abundance of sunlight allows the plant to grow strong. However, in high temperature periods, avoid sun exposure, flowers are easy to scorch, and disperse quickly. Proper shading during flowering is required.
2. Water
Monthly flowers generally have a certain drought tolerance, watering to see dry and wet can be, do not need too much watering, summer high temperature, can be watered once in 1-2 days, other times, can be potted soil surface white and then watered.
3. Fertilization
Because the amount of flowering is very large and has a strong fragrance, it requires more nutrients. In winter, fermented organic fertilizer should be buried around the root system; in the spring, a nutrient-balanced compound fertilizer (shallow burial) should be applied (once a month) during the germination period of leaf spreading and branching; and a water-soluble fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium (once a week) should be applied during the period from budding to the color development period of the flower buds. You can get the effect of holding well.
4. Pay attention to pruning
Earl Eve ▪ grew slowly because of his small plant size. Only light pruning, but cut off overly dense branches, and often cut off yellow leaves. In winter, pruning can be performed according to the plant type, but it cannot be re-pruned. Try not to let the seedlings flower, and hit the top many times to promote more branches and more flowering. When there are many bud points, some weak buds and inward growth buds can be erased.
5. Pay attention to disease prevention
Earl Eve ▪ is relatively resistant to disease, but it is best to raise flowers in the spring, summer and autumn, and it is best to spray the drug once a month.
6. Environmental requirements
Sunny and well-ventilated, you can move to the shade in the summer when the temperature is high; prefer loose, well-drained, breathable, and humus-rich soils, humus, peat soil, black soil and other gardening soils are good.
7. Others
Because the Earl of Eve ▪ flowers are larger and multi-headed, a flower is relatively heavier and may bend the branches. Thin sticks need to be tied as supports so as not to reduce ornamentality.
From the very beginning of its birth, Count Eve ▪ was introduced to the Japanese state for cultivation, and later sprouted varieties in many places. The color and aroma of Count Eve ▪ are very different from those ▪ of the original Earl eve, but they also have the unique shape and growth habits of Earl Eve ▪. Therefore, people also refer to these budded varieties as the Eve series, and their ancestor is The Earl of Eve ▪.
