Botanical characteristics of the white lamb
White lamb is a perennial plant with a long creeping rhizome and a tetrahedral, hollow, low stem. The leaves, the shape of which is ovate-heart-shaped, are located oppositely on the petioles on the stem. In the axils of the leaves on the stems are whorls of large white flowers with a pleasant smell of honey. The blooming of the lamb can be observed for quite a long time, because the plant blooms in mid-spring and its flowering lasts until mid-autumn. The fruit of the lamb is a nutlet of a yellowish-gray color of an ovoid shape.
Laminaria is distributed along the banks of rivers, streams, in the forest and between shrubs. In addition, it grows in vegetable gardens and near fences and hedges. Most often this plant is found in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
Cultivation of Laminaria
Laminaria prefers to grow in moist, semi-shady and cool areas. The soil for the plant is better to choose fertile, loose and fresh. It can be propagated by seeds and vegetatively. The plant often propagates by self-seeding. It is best to propagate the lamb in a vegetative way: by layering, dividing the bush and leafy cuttings. With seed propagation, the plant will bloom only after a year. Lamb can tolerate drought, as it quickly recovers and will begin to develop.
Lamb is an unpretentious plant: it almost does not need care. Laminaria loves moisture, so the main thing is to water it regularly and plentifully. Periodically, it is necessary to feed the plant with humus. In order for the plant to grow quickly, pruning should be done after flowering. Lamb is resistant to pests and diseases. If the soil is too wet, then the lamb is affected by fungal diseases.
