The height of perennial daisies can reach 130-160 cm. These figures are not conditional. During its existence, such a plant can turn into a real bush of large size, which will be visible even from a far distance.

As a rule, the flowers of giant daisies are located at the same height. For this reason, these plants look very similar to the huge chic bouquets.

The flowering period of such flowers falls on the second half of August and lasts until the end of autumn. Often in the last flowers you can see a snowball.

The inflorescences of the late levcontemellas have an appearance similar to that of a common daisy. They contain neat white petals and yellow hearts, but these components have more impressive dimensions.

Petals in giant varieties are very different from those found in classic small daisies. They are lanceolate and in many respects similar to the leaves of cornflower.

The most attractive is a variety called Herbeststern, in which there is the largest number of large daisies.

Tall stems have yellow daisies called dronicum (differently - goat). The leaves of such plants are distinguished by needle-like petals and rich green color.

Giant daisies have not only the usual white and yellow flowers.

Thus, the low-growing alpine cornfields has delicate lilac petals and a yellow center. Similar plants look very harmoniously and attractively on country sites.

The best conditions for planting a garden are sunny and well-ventilated areas.

Such plants should not be in dry conditions, but excess moisture for them can be destructive. The dryness of giant chamomiles provokes their rapid wilting, and a large percentage of moisture affects the state of rhizomes and leads to fungal diseases.

A suitable fertilizer for planting while planting is saltpeter mixed with wood chips. In the period between flowering to feed, it is better to turn to 50 g of nitrophoska per 10 liters of water and water the plants with this composition.

At the end of flowering, the stems of daisies should be cut at the root. If the cornberry has grown too much, then it is necessary to fill up more land to prevent the flowers from drying out.

Healthy garden chamomiles retain a beautiful appearance for no more than 3 years, provided they grow in one place. After this, the root system becomes very confused, and the multiplied flowers begin to interfere with each other. The flowers become small and the stalks short. For this reason, giant daisies should be regularly transplanted to new sites.

Plant on the site such plants can be using seedlings or seeds.

• If you grow a cornfield from seeds, then it is necessary to sow them in the period of early spring or autumn. It is better to seat them in transverse rows to a shallow depth (1.5 - 2 cm). After that, the top seeds are recommended to treat peat. Plants will begin to rise in 18-25 days. Healthy seedlings, which can be planted in the garden, will appear in 2-3 months.

• If you turned to planting seedlings, then it is necessary to prepare isolated wells for it. They need to plant flowers to a depth of no more than 30 cm. Radical soil should be well moistened and firmly squeeze the roots in the process of planting.

Do not forget to water chamomile, despite their resistance to dry conditions. Due to an insufficient amount of water, the stems of such flowers can grow badly in length, and flowering will not be so bright and saturated.

Many owners of summer cottages make their own feeding independently: for a week they insist a pile of freshly cut grass in an ordinary bucket filled with water. After fermentation of the resulting composition it is diluted at the rate of 1 l per bucket of water.

• first you need to conduct regular watering with water;
• then you need to treat the plants with fertilizer solution;
• in the end, water over the chamomile.

Garden chamomile varieties often suffer from various fungal diseases. The most common are diseases such as powdery mildew and rust. For their prevention, it is recommended not to allow high soil moisture, especially if the weather is cold.

When the disease is just beginning to develop, it is necessary to process the flowers at least 4 times with a 1% solution of the Bordeaux mixture and sprinkle with ashes. Treatment should be carried out every 10 days.

If the disease is already running, then it is worth turning to more effective and radical means. It is necessary to cut the stems of the cornrower and burn them. After that, root systems are recommended to be sprinkled with ashes.
