Krympress reports:

And this, of course, is the great news for all lovers of this beautifully flowering herbaceous perennial, which in the hot days of July is unusually adorned with the parks of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden — the National Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Yes, exactly the parks, -emphasizes the director of the NBS-NNC, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Vladimirovich Dlugatar. -We placed the mono-exhibition of the lilenik of the hybrid of 155 samples (six species, 145 varieties and four forms) in the upper park. And this floral “collection” pleases our guests with decorativeness, a variety of coloring and size of the flower (from miniature to giant!), The shape, the height of the plant itself and its color -bearing shoot, their ratio to each other, the duration of flowering … They look great, and we decided that beauty does not happen much. So, as a flower design, the collectible varieties of the hybrid lilya are represented in the territory of all parks of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. And, of course, we took into account the fact that it is not without reason that Lileinics consider it very sociable plants.

So, for example, on the 24th curtain of the Lower Arboretum Park, several separate mixborders were created in various color solutions with different companions plants that emphasize the beauty of flowering lileics and extend the general period of flowering mixborner.

The combination of varieties of lilenika and companion plants was based both on a combination of the shape and color of flowers and leaves of lilests with companion plants, and on their contrast— explains the senior researcher at the laboratory of floristry, candidate of biological sciences Irina Vladimirovna Ulanovskaya. — Exhibited varieties have various biological and morphological features, such as the type of increase in leaves: evergreen (evergreen (‘Cherry Eyed Pumpkin‘), semi -ethnic -green (‘Prairie Blue Eyes‘), «Sleeping» (‘Melon‘); The height of the peduncle: dwarf (‘Siloam Fairytale‘), stunted (‘Buffy‘S. Doll‘), medium -sized (‘Family Party‘), tall (‘Blushing Belle‘); Flower size: miniature (‘Stella de ORO‘), small -flowers (‘Yuulong‘), large -flowered (‘Blushing Angel‘) and giant (‘Beverly Hills‘); Type of color coloring: monocial (‘Cup of Sunshine‘), multicolored (‘Baronet‘S. Badge‘), double -ton (‘Luxury Lace‘), two -tone (‘Franc Hals‘); Flower shape: rounded (‘Joan Senior‘), triangular (‘Winning Ways‘) and stars (‘King of Hearts‘) and others.

The history of introduction

Of course, it is worth looking at this collection, because the introduction of the hybrid Lilein in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden began in its first years of its existence. In the list of decorative plants of the first director of the NBS Christian Christianovich Stevy for 1812-1820. Four varieties of Lileinics are mentioned. The targeted introduction of the hybrid lilenik began in the 90s of the last century

Beautiful during the day

Already in the very name of the genus Hemerocallis The main feature of the flower is concluded: “Hemera” — Day, “Callos” — beauty, that is, beautiful throughout the day. This feature and external resemblance to the lily flower are reflected in folk names: Russians — lilynik, yellow lily; English — Daylily and German — Taglilie (mean daytime lily). However, this feature is compensated by the number of flowers and peduncles on the plant (on one adult plant, up to 30 peduncles with many flowers, which opened one after another, create the impression of continuous flowering).

Heat -resistant

One of its main advantages is “heat resistance”. In our country, on the southern coast of Crimea, it blooms steadily and abundantly in the hottest months-June-August. July is characterized by flowering varieties with late flowering terms. It should also be noted that the varieties are repeated and prolonged blooming delight us in the conditions of the SC to the very frosts.
