Everyone wants to decorate their home. Often this is done with the help of flowers. A modest but beautiful plant - decorative bindweed is often chosen between all possible species. Let's figure out what this plant needs.
Bindweed garden forms
Today in decorative plantings use two types of decorative bindweed. Each species has many beautiful varieties, but the care for them is the same - except that there will be some small differences, which you will write about in the instructions.
And here are the two species that you can plant in your home:
- convolvulus tricolor (small);
- convolvulus Moorish (Sabat).
Did you know? In ancient Greece, the cup with wine that Dionysos was holding was called the "convolvulus bowl."
Choosing a landing site
Convolvulus is recommended to be planted in non-shaded areas where there is a lot of bright sunlight. 
If this is not possible, then this plant can withstand slightly shaded places, but will not bloom so abundantly and beautifully. He likes moisture, especially on hot days, so the soil should be good to pass and hold water.
Important! Choose a place where there will be no drafts and strong winds, they can damage fragile flowers.
Preparatory work
Before landing, you need to carry out preparatory work. Bindweed can be planted in open ground with seedlings or seeds.
The perennial plants can also include calistegia terry, or, as it is also called, the Siberian rose.The only difference is when to plant. Often choose to grow from seed, because they need to be planted later and they germinate in large quantities.
Soil preparation
The plant loves loose, with normal acidity of the earth. Black soil will be the best soil. 
When you find a suitable land for planting, apply sand first for better flowering, pre-loosening the earth. Stir this mixture. Before planting, peat is introduced into the ground (2-3 kg / sq. M).
Important! Peat is better to make before planting bindweed.
Seed preparation
Before planting, place the seeds in water for two to four days. This is necessary for better germination. Swollen seeds can be planted.
Sowing seeds in open ground
Consider how to plant a bindweed when everything is ready with us. Cook peat before planting. You can immediately buy nitrogen fertilizers for better plant development. 
Timing
Seeds are planted after soil preparation, in April - May. It is better to choose a warm sunny day.
Scheme
We make small grooves - about 2 cm deep. Plant the prepared seeds not thickly, at a distance of 5-7 cm from each other. From above we fall asleep with friable earth, we slightly tamp. 
Watering should be carried out twice a week. Under good conditions, sprouts appear in a week.
Application in landscape design
Convolvulus is successfully used for decorating plots. This plant is perfect for creating hedges, garden beds and compositions, flower figures. 
It is specially planted to obscure the area and plant flowers there that love the shade. Among these plants, you can use the stonefringer, rhododendron, trillium and others. Also convolvulus can be divided into sectors.
Flowers such as alissum, heliotrope, nivyanik, feverfew, yucca, obriet, canna, campsis, stylox phlox found use in landscape design.It will look good with ipomoea, which are also climbing plants. Also flowers decorate and protect arbors from the sun, facades of houses.
Did you know? Using bindweed as a hero of a fairy tale, the writer Anna Saksa was able to convey the image of a person who uses flattery and lies to use others for their own purposes.
Flower care
Caring for bindweed flowers may seem a bit difficult. But difficulties arise only at the initial stage of landing. Growing up, the flowers need the same care, only in smaller quantities.
Crop shelter
After planting, in order to avoid sudden changes in temperature, it is recommended to protect the beds with covering material. 
This will help in the fight against weeds, because such material can serve as mulch. Covering material can be removed when the threat of spring frosts and sudden changes in temperature becomes minimal.
Watering, weeding, loosening
Weeding should be done in moderation of the appearance of weeds. If you use mulching, they will not be many.
It is necessary to monitor the development of sprouts: weak and frail plants need to be removed, gradually planting grown flowers at a distance of 20-30 cm 
Adult plants should be watered as the ground dries. With a lack of moisture in the bindweed buds will fall down. Loosening the land should be done once a week so that a lot of water does not evaporate.

Mulching
For mulching suitable for the first stages covering material. When the plant grows up, you can use peat mulching.
The soil is covered with a layer of 1 cm mulch. Peat mulching hinders the development of weeds, regulates the water and temperature conditions of the soil, and enhances microbiological activity.
Important! For mulching, it is better to take a slightly acidic, well decomposed peat with a humidity of 50%.
Fertilization
It is best to apply fertilizer in liquid form. At the first stages of growth it is useful to apply nitrogen fertilizers. 
During flowering - complex mineral fertilizer. Fertilize you need once a month, in a ratio of 15 g per bucket of water. But with fertilizer you do not need to be zealous - growth will be excellent, but you will not achieve lush flowering.
As you can see, the bindweed does not cause much trouble when growing, but it will serve as an excellent decorative element of your garden. Grow and let the bindweed pleases your eyes!
