Bather

The bathing room also belongs to the family of buttercups. The plant is widespread throughout the Northern Hemisphere in temperate and cool climates. These are rhizome perennials with erect and low-branched stems with a height of 50 to 100 cm. The bathing-place has beautiful palmate-dissected leaves collected in a basal rosette. Flowers of cultural forms are large( about 5-6 cm in diameter), bright yellow or orange with numerous perianth petals. In the gardens, the Asiatic bathing-place with orange flowers that blooms in May-June, and the European bathhouse with flowers of bright yellow color, which blossoms about 7-8 days later, are most common. Both bathing suits in the shade bloom for about 20-25 days, in the sun they fade faster. The Chinese bathing meets less often. It has bright orange, less lush flowers, but it blossoms for about 30 days. Considerable interest for gardeners is represented by the Ledebur bathing-place, which blossoms in June-July for about 40 days, while its bright orange flowers reach a diameter of 8 cm. There are quite a few varieties of the garden swimsuit, but they are somehow not common, but in vain: the plant is very elegant, and most importantly, completely unpretentious.

Growing in the shade and penumbra. Soils prefer friable, moist, fertile, slightly acidic. No care is required, except for watering in dry and hot weather during flowering, otherwise it will fade very quickly.

Needs no fertilizing, if the soil was well seasoned with organic before planting. If the soils are poor, then we should water the plants with infusion of weeds twice a season, either with the Gumi solution or with any other organic fertilizer( at the beginning of the green growth and before the flowering).After flowering, you can make a little ash, if the soil is acidic, or a little phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, if the bloom is poor. You can plant a bathing-house in late April-early May or late August-early September. The root neck is planted 2-3 cm deep into the soil when planted.

The plant is propagated by dividing the rhizome( preferably at the end of August), by cuttings( in spring or summer) and by seeds that are sown in the soil immediately after harvesting or under winter. If you sow seeds on seedlings at home, then a long, within 2-3 months, stratification of crops in the refrigerator. Do you really need this?

Seeds sown in autumn in the ground give seedlings in the spring of next year. They must be weeded out or discarded, and at the end of the summer, transplanted to a place according to the scheme of 40 x 40 cm. The plants blossom next year. On the cuttings you can take young, appear spring spring shoots or summer rosettes with a part of the underground stem.

Low-grown forms are suitable for rocky slides, taller ones look beautiful near water bodies, on fringes, in workouts, in groups at the corners of lawns. After flowering, the bush loses decorativeness. The plant is suitable for cutting.
