How to grow an obrietta from seeds: a seedling and seedless way

I bought Aubrietta seeds in the store - the flowers in the picture were very beautiful. Tell me how to grow obrietta from seeds? The seller said that it is best to plant her seedlings first. Can you sow directly in the garden? I don't know if I will have free space on the window, because usually all the windowsills are occupied by tomatoes.

Lush Aubrietta bushes, abundantly covered with colorful bright flowers, can transform even the simplest flower bed. This herbaceous perennial plant thrives in the garden and among the rocky alpine hills. Every florist dreams of starting it, because it is quite simple to do this by sowing seeds. Vegetative propagation for such flowers is used less often. Aubrietta cuttings take root reluctantly, and even after dividing the bush, the delenki do not take root well. But the seed method is an ideal option to get a lot of charming bushes at once. Knowing some of the subtleties of how to grow an obrietta from seeds, you can acquire a whole collection of flowering perennials.

What is noteworthy, you can plant seeds both on seedlings and immediately in open ground. Depending on which option is used, the terms and characteristics of plant growth vary.

When and how to sow shaved seeds outdoors

A perennial needs light soil and good lighting. For planting, you need to select an appropriate area where there is a lot of sun. In the shade, the aubrietta will stretch out, and the flowering will be poor. As for the soil, clay and acidic soil is categorically unsuitable for it. But loam, flavored with ash and humus or mineral preparations, is what you need.

Since the seeds are not very large and in a dense shell, it is advisable to soak them in a growth stimulator before sowing. For disinfection of home planting material, seeds can be kept in potassium permanganate.

One of the features of growing obrietta in the garden is that it can be sown both in spring and before winter. Specific dates depend on the time of boarding:

• spring sowing is carried out in the month of May;
• in autumn, seeds are sown in early October (in this case, they do not need to be soaked).

Aubrieta bushes grow and branch well, but they do not tolerate a transplant. When sowing, it is better to immediately make separate holes, putting several seeds in each. A distance of at least 15 cm must be left between the holes.

Aubrietta, planted immediately on a flower bed, will bloom only in the late spring of next year. You can see flowering in June of this year by sowing seeds for seedlings.

How to grow obrietta from seeds in a seedling way

To accelerate the development and bring the flowering of the aubrietta closer, many growers plant it on seedlings. This can be done as early as February. Due to the poor tolerance of the pick, it is better to use peat tablets... In this case, the seedlings can be planted in a permanent place, dispensing with a pick.

In order for the seedlings to grow strong, at the age of two weeks they need to start feeding them with a mineral complex. It is advisable to fertilize every 2 weeks until transplanting to a flower bed.
