Loosestrife - This is a grass, a distant relative of primrose and cyclamen. Its stems are straight or creeping, the leaves are elongated, arranged oppositely or alternately, their length is 8 cm. The flowers are white, pink and yellow, the inflorescences are gathered in panicles. Loosestrife fruit is presented in the form of a box of a round or oval shape. It received its name due to the similarity of leaves with leaves of vervain. 
Experienced gardeners, most often, in landscape compositions use spearfinder Alexander. This herbaceous perennial fell in love with bright yellow flowers and motley decorative leaves. Its height does not exceed 80 cm. The leaves are lanceolate, with a white rim. Blossoms up to one and a half months: from June to mid-July.
Also, herbaceous perennials include: canna, nemesia, cypress euphoria, helihrizum, Volzhanka, gravilat and mordovnik.
An interesting feature of the plant is the dissimilarity of its species: some have tall, slender stems and large flowers, while others have, on the contrary, squat and creeping stems along the ground, and flowers in the form of small stars. In total, there are about 100 species of vervain in nature. 
Growing conditions
Point pinstrike is not particularly capricious in care. Let's learn how to grow this plant properly and what features exist in this process.
Lighting or shadow?
Definitely shadow and penumbra, although there are exceptions. For example, purple Loosestrife loves bright sunlight, so scattered shade from trees would be more preferable than full shading.
Did you know? Recruitr is used in homeopathy. Its fresh leaves have healing properties, and together with flowers they are able to soothe pain and heal shallow wounds.
Soil for the recruit
The soil is ideal for it - moist, loose and fertile. In clay soils, it does not take root. It is best to choose a subacid substrate or loam. If sowing the curbstone under fruit trees, the soil must be fertilized, as the trees quickly "devastate" the land around them.
Breeding
This plant can be propagated both by seed and vegetatively, for example, by dividing the bush. To help you decide on the most convenient way, let's look at each of them in more detail. 
Seeds
When planting seeds at the end of May, they should be stratified before planting in a cool place for a month (a section for storing vegetables in a refrigerator will be suitable). If you decide to plant the Loosestrife in the fall, then the seeds should not be stratified. The cold during the winter period will perfectly replace the refrigerator. Before planting, dig holes and place seeds in them, then fill the hole with soil and water it plentifully.
Important! The only lack of seed reproduction is the timing of flowering. Verbeinik begins to bloom in the third year after planting seeds.
As an alternative to seed multiplication, you can use the rassadny method. For this, planting material after stratification is planted in containers with wet sand and peat, and then covered with polyethylene on top. The ambient temperature should be at + 15 ° C. By the end of the second week should appear the first shoots, which dive after they get stronger. In open ground seedlings are planted in June, and the distance between plants should be at least 50 cm. 
Vegetative
A very simple breeding process by splitting the bush. This can be done during plant transplantation. Having dug up shrubs, separate the children in such a way that in each part there are both roots and shoots. When replanting a new plant, the new well should be a little deeper than the previous one. In this case, the bloom comes faster - next year.
Did you know? Loosestrife in Poland is called "Bazhanovets" - translated into Russian, this word means "pheasant". He received such a "name" because of the variety of colors of the inflorescences resembling a bright and colorful pheasant tail.
As you can see, the reproduction of the flower does not require particularly complex manipulations. Even amateur gardeners can handle it.
Features care for "unpretentious"
Planting a verbeynik on the plot, you need to provide him with regular and abundant watering. He is not afraid of winter frosts, so you don’t need to hide, cover and wrap him up. Preparation for the winter period comes down to pruning ground shoots. After inflorescences fade - they must be removed. Dry leaflets and injured parts of the plant are also subject to removal.
Of the minuses of the flower is to highlight its "aggressiveness" to the neighbors in the flower bed. To prevent this, you can plant it in a separate container and put it in this form in flowerbeds and flower arrangements. 
Important! When loosening the root space, do not damage the rooker's system. It is located close to the surface., Therefore, it is necessary to loosen carefully and not immediately capture a large amount of soil.
Plant Diseases and Pests
This plant is, surprisingly, resistant to disease. But aphids can often be found on it. Insecticides, for example, Antitlin, will help in the fight against insects, the main thing is to start processing quickly. From gentle folk remedies you can use the "washing" of the flower with soapy water, but this method can work with a low level of infestation by aphids.
