Lythrum salicina flowering period

The flowers of Lythrum salicina are clustered, with relatively short pedicels. The small flowers clustered together look like a large flower spike. The color of the flowers is mainly red-purple or lavender, and is very bright.

Lythrum salicaria is a flower that blooms for a long time. It usually blooms from July to September, and can be viewed for 2 or 3 months, giving people a beautiful visual enjoyment.

Lythrum salicina flowering maintenance

In order to make the loosestrife bloom better, in addition to watering and fertilizing during daily maintenance and providing a good growth environment, it is also necessary to apply top dressing before and after the loosestrife blooms.

Generally, during the flowering stage, loosestrife needs to be top-dressed two to three times. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are preferred, which can promote the good blooming of loosestrife.

Also, after a long flowering period, the flowers of loosestrife gradually wither. At this time, it is necessary to promptly cut off those loosestrife and withered flower spikes, which can promote the sprouting of new flower branches. Regular pruning of dense branches and poorly growing branches on a daily basis can not only provide ventilation and light, but is also a good way to encourage loosestrife to bloom more, because it can reduce nutrient consumption.
