Mirabilis Morning dawn mix, Caprice seeds 20pcs x 1.5g

The birthplace of mirabilis is Mexico. For the first time, the ancient Aztecs drew attention to this plant, noting not only the amazing beauty of night flowers, but also their medicinal properties. Later, the seeds of mirabilis came to Europe, where the flower quickly gained popularity and became widespread. If at home mirabilis is a perennial plant, then in colder climates it is grown as an annual – the roots of the flower are not able to withstand even minimal frosts. Since in Russia mirabilis is grown as an annual plant, it is more convenient to propagate it by seeds. Of course, a florist can cut a stalk from a bush or divide a flower by roots, but all these actions will not make sense, since in winter the plant will die anyway. Characteristics: mirabilis yalapa is a herbaceous plant; dawn bushes are compact, powerful; plant height can range from 50 to 120 cm, depending on the variety and growing conditions; the root system is powerful, the roots are tuberous, swollen – it is this structure that allows the flower to tolerate drought well; inflorescences look like gramophone; the color of flowers can be very different (from white to orange and purple), often there are inflorescences with stripes, specks, two-color mirabilis; the device of the mirabilis flower is surprising in that it completely lacks a corolla, and instead of an inflorescence – a calyx (in other plants it is painted green, has a small size); the diameter of the inflorescences can be 3.5-5 cm; mirabilis opens only at night, in cloudy and cool weather; mirabilis has a very rich aroma that attracts night moths and butterflies; each flower “lives” only for a couple of hours, after which it again rolls up into a tube and fades; the fruit of mirabilis is a wrinkled box of dark brown color, inside which there is one large seed; dawn bloom lasts from June until the first frost; the night mirabilis propagates by seeds, dividing the bush and lignified cuttings.
