Where does bitter gourd grow? growing conditions
Goryanka is a fairly common plant in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe – China, Japan, North Korea, Turkey, Croatia. On the territory of Russia, it is found in Primorye. The name “goryanka” comes from the places where this flower was found – mountain forests, hills.
The most common types of Goryanka:
Red Goryanka is the result of crossing the large-flowered and alpine Goryanka. Plant height – 35-40 cm, grows up. Leaves – have a red border. The buds are small, up to 1,5 cm, may have a pink and yellow color.
Colchis hot dog – height up to 30 cm. Leaves – green, with a glossy surface. Flowers are yellow. The flowering period is from 10 to 15 days, in late May – early June.
Goryanka tolerates winter well, blooms every year. After the flowering period, it attracts with beautiful leaves that look like hearts. Refers to evergreens. In the conditions of our latitudes, the leaves after winter have a sluggish appearance, so it is difficult to consider Goryanka beautiful in early spring. Gradually builds up new leaves, which completely cover the peduncles by the time they bloom. Some gardeners prefer to preserve last year’s leaves by covering the plant for the winter. It is important to understand here that old leaves prevent the growth of new ones, so the other part of the lovers simply cuts them off. Mulching of Goryanka occurs with leaves falling from shrubs that grow above it.
It is best to plant Goryanka on moist soils without stagnant water. If groundwater passes nearby, drainage must be taken care of. The soil should be neutral, sufficiently nutritious and loose. It is best to choose a suitable place in partial shade. The sun causes burning and fading of the leaves in the Goryanka, and the shadow does not provide full-fledged conditions for flowering. Young plants are mulched for the winter to protect them from frost. Goryanka should be watered only during extreme heat and prolonged drought. The rhizome of the plant is quite tender and can suffer from fertilizers, so top dressing should be carried out very carefully. As a fertilizer, it is good to use rotted organic components.
Types of Goryanka
The genus Epimedium consists of 50 species that differ in the color of flowers – white, pink, purple, red, yellow, multi-colored.
The height of the plant varies from 15 to 50 cm. The stems, as such, are absent in the Goryanka, their role is played by creeping rhizomes. They form buds, develop leaves and flower stalks.
Reproduction occurs by the growth of the rhizome. In Goryanka, this process takes place on its own, rather slowly. If the location is chosen well, the plant does not need to be transplanted for several years. Loosening Goryanka can damage the rhizome, so it’s best to mulch. For this, humus is suitable. The rhizome of the plant does not deepen.
