What to replace the boring petunia: a flower that grows luxuriantly even on bare sand and in the sun
No one will argue that the beautiful petunia owes its popularity to its abundant and beautiful flowering, but its attractive appearance also becomes boring over time.
If you are faced with a similar problem and do not know how to diversify your flowerbed, listen to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , who advises to decorate the flowerbed with catharanthus.
In addition to abundant flowering, the plant has many other advantages.
So, the catharanthus is the proud owner of beautiful glossy foliage.
It is not afraid of heat and copes well with dry conditions, so it is an excellent candidate for being planted in sunny places.
The flower is grown from seeds that are quite large in size, which means that there will be no problems with sowing.
The best time to sow catharanthus seedlings is February-March. You can plant the seeds earlier if you can't wait to see the first flowers, but don't forget about the need for lighting.
You can plant it in a permanent place of residence when you are sure that the threat of return frosts has passed. Plant care is standard and includes watering, fertilizing and other routine procedures.
