Depending on the type of gravel, flowers can be painted in white, pink, yellow and red. Petals can be either wide open or gathered into a bell (drooping). Flowers can be either single or collected in paniculate or umbellate inflorescences (from 3 to 10 pieces). There is a variety of hybrid beetle, which was obtained by crossing red beetle and Chilean beetle.
Gravity cultivation
Gravilat is a perennial herbaceous plant, unpretentious to environmental conditions. It usually blooms from May to July. A number of species of gravel can bloom throughout the summer period from June to August (hybrids).
A well-lit place is best for the best growth of gravel, but light partial shade is also allowed. Despite the fact that the plant is frost-resistant, it is best to cover the bushes of the plant for the winter period, especially for hybrid types of gravel.
The plant is rarely exposed to various diseases and insect attacks. Perennial gravel loves abundant watering, but the plant should not be over-watered. River gravel feels great in wetlands, so it can be planted in areas with high humidity (pond, artificial reservoir).
During flowering, gravilate requires the timely removal of dry flowers.
Seeds are sown at the beginning of spring, and ready-made seedlings – at the end of April (the beginning of the warm season).
Reproduction of the plant is carried out either by seeds (in the spring) or by dividing the bushes (in the spring and autumn).
Contraindications to the use of gravilat
To date, no contraindications to the use of gravilat have been identified. However, it must be borne in mind that preparations based on it can contribute to blood clotting, therefore, their long-term use is highly discouraged for people suffering from increased thrombosis.
