The method of growing burnet is blunt on the site. Burnet - a modest fashionista in natural gardens

Burnet officinalis grows wild in Europe, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Asia and the Far East. It's grassy perennial up to one and a half meters high, it is ubiquitous in glades and on the banks of reservoirs.

The spectacular appearance makes it decorative, especially the varieties bred not so long ago, while the rhizome of the burnet is endowed with a number of useful medicinal properties.


Types and varieties of burnet

Grows in the steppes of the Russian Federation and Western Europe. At first glance, it is not easy to distinguish in it a member of the Rosaceae family, since its dark purple small flowers, forming dense spike-shaped inflorescences, are very different from those of roses and apple trees.

  • Most popular variety burnet officinalis is now 0.8 meters high, with variegated red inflorescences. Other varieties and types of burnet (of which there are 12) outwardly look about the same, the difference lies only in the color and length of the inflorescences, the shape and size of the leaves.

  • For example, the variety burnet pink brushes characterized by light pink inflorescences and dense beautiful foliage.

  • has dark pink flowers and green pinnately dissected leaves with incised edges.

  • differs in green leaves covered with a white border and narrow pink inflorescences about 5 cm long.

Not tall (up to 50 cm in height) splendid burnet - a species growing in the Ussuri region. Her extraordinary decorative qualities appear in hanging long dense hairy inflorescences Pink colour, standing out against the background of gray foliage.

Another view - blunt burnet (obtuse , obtuz ) - grows in the highlands of Japan. This cute representative of the genus is characterized by a height of 1 meter and drooping fluffy bright pink inflorescences.

Native to North America grows in grasslands under conditions high humidity, reaching as much as 2 meters in height. Its grace and majesty is expressed by powerful erect shoots, on which white inflorescences flaunt.

It has powerful branched stems, stretching up to 1.8 meters in height, with numerous oblong (up to 7 cm) narrow drooping inflorescences of white or purple color. According to the name, the leaves of this species differ from those described above by a small width - 5-10 mm.

Burnet planting and care in the open field

Whimsical care for the burnet is not characteristic. This plant requires very little for normal development, so it feels great both in well-lit areas and in semi-shaded areas.

From what will clearly benefit the burnet in growth and flowering, looseness and fertility of the soil should be distinguished. The latter is ensured by the use of ash, superphosphate or humus, which form an auxiliary layer at the bottom of the planting pit.

Fertilizers are recommended to be applied in the spring, in the first days of summer, or at the end of autumn. It is not worth transplanting a plant until it reaches the age of 5. It should also be noted that burnet is characterized by self-seeding, which, if necessary, can be prevented by cutting off in right time faded flowers.

Burnet is among the cold-resistant plants that do not need to be dug up before the onset of frost. Moreover, it tolerates the winter well without shelter and is almost unaffected by pests. Thanks to such impressive virtues, she is able to live up to 40 years with proper care ( average term life is 10 years).

Reproduction of bloodworm by division

To propagate burnet, you can use its thick multi-headed rhizomes, after carefully pulling out and dividing them in the spring or in last days summer.

The resulting divisions, although not numerous, have a high survival rate.

Burnet growing from seeds

The process of propagation by seeds is also quite easy. Sowing procedures should be performed before the onset of winter, and in the spring the result will appear in numerous seedlings that will bloom for 2-3 years.

And in natural conditions, and being in the garden, the burnet is prone to hybridization, which leads to the emergence of its most diverse flower forms. It is possible to obtain unmodified species material by isolating inflorescences in buds and subsequent manual pollination.

Sangvisorba (lat. Sanguisorba) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Pink family. The Latin name is formed by two words: blood and absorb, slurp, which is due to the hemostatic properties of the herb. The Russian-language name is krovohlebka.

Botanical description

The burnet has a thick woody rhizome (covered with dark brown bark), located horizontally or at an angle, about 12 cm long. Numerous fibrous processes extend from the main root.

Decorative value is carried by openwork leaves and original inflorescences of pink or reddish, burgundy hue. The height of the plant varies from 30 cm to 1.5 m. The stalks are ribbed, hollow, branching closer to the top. The leaves are obovate in shape with carved edges, the leaf surface is smooth, bright green in color, and the underside has a bluish-green tint. Also, relief veins are visible on the leaves. The basal rosette is formed by pinnate leaf plates, the stem leaves are arranged in pairs.

AT natural environment burnet is common in North America and Eurasia (regions with a temperate climate), where it has chosen sunny glades and shores of reservoirs. Also, the plant can be found in the foothills of the Tien Shan and the Caucasus. Thanks to a powerful root system, sangvisorba grows rapidly, forming extensive thickets.

When the bloodworm blooms

Capitate inflorescences 1-3 cm long appear on the tops of the stems. They look like ears of corn: there are no petals, the flowers are tightly pressed against each other. In addition to pink and red tones, the flowers can be snow-white. They are bisexual, consist of 4 stamens and 4 bracts, in the center is a club-shaped pistil and ovary. Flowering of the burnet occurs in July-September and lasts about 65 days.

During the period, the stems can scatter under the weight of the inflorescences, but it looks interesting, elegant, bright inflorescences-heads spread in different directions.

The fruit is a one-seeded pear-shaped nutlet, not more than 3 mm long. They are covered with a thin smooth skin of a light brown hue.

Growing burnet from seeds

Seed sangvisorby will not cause much trouble. Seeds are sown directly in open ground before winter, they collected ripened seeds - proceed to sowing.

Dig up the area, level the surface of the soil, remove weeds and existing debris. Make shallow grooves, pour water and let it soak, then evenly distribute the seeds and sprinkle with a layer of peat 5-10 mm thick.

In the spring, sprouts will appear that will develop well and quickly - neither weeds nor changeable spring weather are afraid of them. Let them grow in these beds until the beginning of autumn, then plant them out. Dig carefully with earthy clod and transfer to the prepared holes, sprinkle with earth, squeeze the soil around the stem with your hands, water it.

When planting between individual plants, keep a distance of about half a meter or even 60 cm, as the burnet is actively growing.

The plant will begin to bloom in the second or third year of life.

Sangvisorba is able to produce abundant self-seeding, which can be avoided by cutting wilted inflorescences.

Vegetative propagation of sangvisorba

At the age of 5, you can start vegetative propagation- division of the bush. By this time, the rhizome is massive, strong and well branched. The procedure is carried out in the period May-August.

  • Carefully dig up the bush and divide it into several parts.
  • To do this, use a sharp sterile knife.
  • Do not cut many pieces, each of them should have a large part of the root and several growth buds.
  • Sprinkle the cuts wood ash to keep it from rotting.
  • Make planting holes according to the size of the root system and plant in the same way as young seedlings.

Choosing a place to land

It should be said that the site for burnet requires open, sunny, but partial shade is also allowed. The soil should be loose, well-drained and fertile. If the soil is depleted, put humus or compost into the soil from spring, you can add granules of complex mineral fertilizer to the planting holes.

The moisture capacity of the soil is important, but stagnant moisture is not welcome; do not plant in lowlands and in flooded areas. According to the reaction, slightly acidic and neutral soils are suitable.

Growing and caring for burnet in the garden

How to water

First of all, it is necessary to ensure regular, since the burnet is moisture-loving. In the natural environment, it grows along the banks of water bodies, so do not let the soil dry out on the site, but do not make "swamps" either.

The burnet is capable of overcoming the growth of weeds on its own, but it is better to remove it in time so as not to spoil the look of the flower bed. Periodically loosen the soil surface, preventing the formation of a crust - with regular access to oxygen root system grows more actively.

How to feed

Doesn't interfere with bleeding. In early spring with the onset of a thaw, apply any complex mineral fertilizer. During the growing season, carry out 2-3 top dressings, alternating organic with mineral fertilizers. Pour the fertilizer solution not under the root itself, but into the grooves dug at some distance from the bush.

As mentioned earlier, the stems scatter under the weight of the inflorescences or droop from strong gusts of wind - tie to pegs if desired.

Diseases and pests of sangvisorba

Diseases or damage by pests are extremely rare phenomena for burnet.

Procurement of raw materials sangvisorba

For the harvesting of raw materials (rhizomes), adult plants at least 5 years old are suitable. Dig in at the end of flowering and the beginning of seed ripening (August-September). Dig up the root and clean it from the ground, plant individual pieces again in the soil for the development of new plants. Rinse the collected roots thoroughly in cold water and dry in the fresh air, but under a canopy.

Please note that the remains of the stems should be removed after drying. Cut the roots into narrow strips and dry under the sun or in special dryers at a temperature of 45 ° C - under the influence of more high temperature the roots will turn black and lose their medicinal properties.
