Description of the bindweed flower

Most species are climbers with climbing, hairless stems up to 3–4 m long, there are plants with creeping or erect stems. The leaves are alternate, ovate, heart-shaped or arrow-shaped, serrated or entire, located on petioles. Bindweed flowers have a funnel-shaped or bell-shaped corolla, are placed in the axils of the leaves on long peduncles, sometimes collected in inflorescences. Coloring - white, blue, pink, red, there are two-color varieties. The fruit is a box with large seeds that remain viable for up to 2-3 years.

One of the most common types is field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), perennial with a thin curly stem up to 1 m long and a creeping branched rhizome, an obvious weed that grows throughout Russia. This plant, like some other types of bindweed, is poisonous, contains psychotropic alkaloids. In folk medicine, it is widely used to treat various diseases. A photo of a field bindweed is shown below.

Sometimes, morning glory purple, a perennial vine originating from the tropical regions of America, which is grown here as an annual, is referred to the genus of bindweeds. According to another classification, it belongs to the genus morning glory (Ipomoea), or farbitis. This is the largest genus of the bindweed family, it includes about 500 species, among which there are food plants, such as sweet potato, as well as many ornamental vines grown as garden and pot crops. Different types differ in the structure of rhizomes, both creeping and tuberous, the shape of the leaf, narrow and long, pinnately dissected or rounded heart-shaped. Common to all representatives of the genus is the structure of the flower - funnel-shaped with a fused corolla and a more or less narrow tube.

Some types of decorative bindweeds

Growing bindweeds in the garden and on the balcony

Bindweeds cultivated in gardens are unpretentious, can develop on poor soils, prefer sunny place location, but tolerate light shading. These perennial plants in our climate are grown as annuals. Seeds are sown in late April - early May directly into the ground, or in March for seedlings, which are planted when the threat of frost has passed. For seedlings, it is better to use peat pots, as the plants do not tolerate transplanting.

All species are demanding for watering, with a lack of water, buds are dropped. During the flowering period, they are fed once every 2 weeks, mainly with potash and phosphorus fertilizers, nitrogen causes leaf growth to the detriment of flowering. To install supports.

Bindweeds are not afraid spring frosts, but some types of decorative morning glory are thermophilic, for earlier flowering they are grown through seedlings. Plants do not overwinter, some species can self-sow.

Ampel and climbing species can be used for landscaping balconies. Bindweeds are planted on balconies and loggias oriented to the south and southeast, in boxes with a sufficient amount of land. Supports are provided for vines, young shoots are tied up. With abundant timely watering and regular top dressing plants develop rapidly and bloom profusely from June to late autumn.

These are annual or perennial herbaceous vines, shoots and woody shrubs of which can reach up to 3 meters in height. The leaves are spirally arranged, the flowers are trumpet-shaped, mostly white and pink, but some varieties also have blue, purple, purple and yellow petals. Look at the bindweed flower in the photo, which shows a variety of varieties and species:

Bindweed propagates through seeds and roots. Seeds obtained from a flower box retain their germination capacity up to 30 years in the soil and 2-3 years in open form. On the open ground it most often grows as a weed, so to get rid of it, you need to thoroughly clean all the roots of the plants. Even a small particle of it is enough to grow a small family.

Indoor and home flowers bindweed

As ornamental plant only two subspecies are used. These are indoor and home flowers of bindweed, allowing you to elegantly decorate apartments and offices. Convolvulus tricolor or Bindweed tricolor or small - is short to medium term with a single flower on a long stem. This flowering plant is native to the Mediterranean Basin and is especially common in the south, but is sometimes seen in other areas with similar climates. In Spain, it can be found in the Balearic Islands and Andalusia, especially in the Costa del Sol.

The indoor flower consists of three funnel-shaped flowers three centimeters wide with a blue, white and yellow center. This subspecies is common in natural environment on cultivated land, dry open habitats, sandy places and near roads. Usually the tricolor is grown for ornamental purposes. Includes the varieties Red Banner and Blue Ensign. AT landscape design it is used in discounts and mixborders, and at home it is most often grown in pots on the balcony. As we have already said, all varieties of bindweed grow very quickly, so it is very convenient to use it as a ground cover.

The shoots of the plant reach half a meter in height. The flowering period is from July to August, but its flowers are short-lived. After one day, it falls off, but a new one immediately forms in its place. In the flowers there are boxes with seeds 3 mm in diameter each. Second decorative look- this is Convolvulus sabatius or Mauritanian (or Sabat) bindweed. It is a species of flowering plant in the bindweed family. He comes from Italy and North Africa, it is quite often grown on purpose. This woody trailing plant reaches 20 centimeters in height and has slightly drooping leaves. The shade of the flower can vary from delicate blue to deep purple. Quite often, it occurs with a lighter center 2-2.5 centimeters in diameter.

This species is often sold under the synonym Convolvulus mauritanicus. Although the plant is perennial, it is better to care for it as an annual in a colder climate. It will be very convenient for plants grown on the windowsill and in balcony boxes. The flower prefers sunny places with a good drainage layer. Timely pruning ensures new growth and more lush and bright bloom. The flowering period of the bindweed is from July to September, and the bindweed of this species blooms quite abundantly. The flower is unpretentious and does not require careful care from you, which is why it is so loved to be grown on balconies as an ampelous plant. In combination with other colors, it creates a unique look for your balcony.

Growing indoors

As we have already said, bindweeds are unpretentious and can grow even on poor soil, but it is only desirable that it be a sunny place. Growing in room conditions You can start by planting seeds or layering. In late April - early May, seeds can be planted directly on open ground, and if you want to prepare seedlings, then this is best done in March. For this, in a container with pre-prepared soil or better in peat pots. It is necessary to plant only after the threat of frost has finally passed so that the plant does not die in cold weather (some species are thermophilic). It is very important to water the bushes on time, because with a lack of moisture, they immediately throw off their buds. During growth and development, it is necessary to regularly feed bindweeds with potash and phosphorus fertilizers - 1 time in 2 weeks will be enough. Nitrogen fertilizers can also be used for better growth foliage, but this will be at the expense of flowering. If you have chosen a bindweed liana, then you also need to install a support for the trunk.

On window sills and balconies, bindweeds are planted on the south and southeast side in boxes with a sufficient amount of land. With timely watering and sufficient feeding, the plant develops very quickly and blooms profusely from mid-summer to early autumn.

Hi Natasha! I took the time to write.
Well, here it is. First, buy the seeds. I choose pepper seeds that say "thick-walled." If you have such weather, then "early ripe" and "mid-ripening" will probably suit you. Read carefully so as not to buy those that do not have time to ripen.
It is necessary to prepare the land. I buy ready-made soil for seedlings, but I add ordinary garden soil to it. I mix well so that there are no lumps, pebbles. Sometimes I add sand. The earth should be light, crumbly. Ready soil I do not trust. Unscrupulous entrepreneurs sell soil from greenhouses that has already been used. There are nitrates, fertilizers, and pests. So. I prepared the soil, I mix it in a basin. Then I fill the containers. I have plastic containers, standard ones, bought especially for growing seedlings.
You fill the containers not to the top, so that you can freely water and cover with glass in the first days.
Seeds, right in the bag, put on the battery central heating, two hours. They warm up there. Then, I pour the seeds into a gauze or cloth and dip them into a weak solution of potassium permanganate, a little pink for 45 minutes. They are disinfected there.
Now the ground in containers must be poured with boiling water, every centimeter. The earth is warm. Now you sit down, and next to the container, pour the seeds onto a chair or stool.
Then, with a wet match, I take one seed at a time and transfer it to the ground in rows. There is a distance of four centimeters between each seed. Of course, this takes time, but these efforts are then justified. Seedlings do not stretch, do not twist, and then it is very convenient to dive., Or you can not even dive.
You lay out the seeds in rows, but do not deepen them yet. So you can see how the seeds are located.
She laid out the seeds. Now they need to be deepened. Slightly deepen the match. After that, the container must be covered with glass and something on top to create darkness. Everything. Now you need to look often, see if the seeds have sprouted. Maybe they will germinate on the third day. Follow. As soon as they hatch, the glass must be removed. Look, if you don’t take it off, they will instantly stretch out and then they will be ruined, intertwined and fall down. Now they need light, I make a backlight from fluorescent lamps above them. Do you know such long ones? and stretched out. But we don’t need it. They don't need heat either.
In the cool, they will be even, plump legs. You have to water them carefully. Slightly moisten the ground between the rows. Well, that's all for now. Then they will need to be hardened, taken out in the cold for a while. Well, that's later.
With little blue ones, that is, with eggplants, you must do the same. Read "early ripe" and "medium ripe" on the seed envelope.
Then it will be necessary to dive them. I fill halves of milk cartons with soil. We buy milk in cartons. Then I wash them, dry them and cut them into two halves. I pour earth into each half. It may not be completely, you can pour it in half. And plant each sprout in this cup and water as needed. When it gets warmer on the balcony, so that the frost does not beat the seedlings, I take these seedlings to the balcony. I put them in boxes at home and take them out right in the boxes.
Now you can not rush to plant them. You can wait for the heat, and the seedlings grow in boxes. I sometimes plant peppers already in bloom, sometimes even with ovaries. You can take your time. When the threat of frost has passed, you can plant in the ground.
How it's done?. You make a hole in the ground. You take this bag with earth and a sprout and turn it over on your hand. The sprout remains on the hand with a clod of earth. Now with this clod of earth you plant in the hole. The roots are not injured and grow in their native land to which they are accustomed.
Written from the heart, with details. Now, if you do everything according to my instructions, then everything will grow as it should. Good luck!
