Daytime beauty - botanical description
Daytime beauty or tricolor bindweed (C. tricolor) is planted in summer cottages more often than other cultivated representatives of the family. The birthplace of this flower is the coast Mediterranean Sea. It has been used as an ornamental crop since the 17th century.
Daytime beauty is an annual flower with a dense branching stem that spreads along the ground. In the south, the plant can be a perennial, since its rhizome remains in the soil in winter if the temperature does not drop below -10.

The plant blooms from June to August. It is called a daytime beauty, since the corollas are open only during daylight hours. At night, the flowers close tightly. They are also invisible in rainy weather.
Tricolor bindweed looks similar to morning glory, but these are two different, although related, ornamental crops. Flowers daytime beauty much smaller. The stems do not climb along supports, like morning glory, but lie horizontally on the ground. Only the corollas look up, rushing towards the sun.

To save decorative qualities faded flowers are picked off. This makes flowering more magnificent, since the plant does not expend energy on the formation of seeds. The plant reproduces by self-seeding, therefore, if the plantings need to be kept for next year, some of the ovaries are left on the branches.

Every year more and more appear in the country unusual new items. The number of varieties is already in the hundreds.
Moorish bindweed (c. Mauritanicus) is most suitable for hanging. Its shoots hang down beautifully from baskets and containers. One plant on the soil surface can cover an area of almost a meter. A plant growing in a container flows down like a waterfall. The usual color of the corollas is lilac; white varieties are less common.
Moorish bindweed seedlings for planting and care at home can be purchased at garden stores. Plants are moved outside after the onset of stable warm weather. Moorish bindweed can be grown from seeds, but they are difficult to find commercially.
The flower feels good in ordinary garden soil and does not need fertilizing. The only requirement is abundant watering.

After the first watering, the elasticity of the leaves will be restored, the gramophones will open, the growth of new stems will begin and flowering will continue until the first frost.
Star bindweed is also called: exotic liana, mine, Spanish flag.

The plant blooms from July until autumn frosts. The soil requires loose, nutritious soil. Mina loves warmth and sun and can be used for landscaping southern walls, gazebos, fences and other vertical surfaces facing south.
Flowering plants can only be obtained from seeds. They are sown at home at the end of March - each seed in a separate cup. When the shoots appear, they almost immediately need to be supported, since the stems of star bindweed can only grow by clinging to something.
You can sow the seeds outside once the threat of frost has passed. Such plants are stronger and hardier, but bloom late - at the end of summer.
Many people have thought more than once about how to change a boring hedge. They repainted it in bright colors, drew pictures, even changed it for another one.

This gap can be reduced to half a meter if you need to quickly get a thicker weave. Plants are planted a few centimeters deeper than in the nursery.

![](https://i1.wp.com/glav-dacha.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/vyunok-cvetok-foto-14.jpg)
If white streaks appear on the greenery, it means that the vine has been struck powdery mildew. Several treatments with fungicidal agents will destroy the pest.
It is important to water bindweed correctly; a photo of this variety for vertical gardening is given below. You should not flood the beds too much, because this leads to the growth of greenery, not inflorescences. However, due to a lack of moisture, the buds will fall off. Without feeding, the flowers will grow small and faded. Therefore, before planting, the soil is fertilized with peat.
The soil is sprinkled when the toffee throws out buds. The beds are treated with complex fertilizers (nitrogen or potassium) once every two weeks. The substrate is laid out on the soil and then washed off with water using a watering can.
To plant seedlings in the ground, you need to sow the seeds in a container in early March. Containers should be stored in a warm and sunny place and watered regularly.
Tricolor
It is considered the most effective for planting in pots (containers). The combination of blue (ultramarine shade) and white shade with a fiery yellow (lemon) center makes it unique. Thanks to this coloring, it flaunts magnificently on the terraces and flower beds of megalopolises. Bindweed tricolor is an annual that grows up to 50 cm tall. The stems are strewn with dense greenery. The bluish-green leaves provide an amazing backdrop for large, variegated flowers with wavy edges. They reach 5 cm in diameter.
Among other things, there are three more varieties of tricolor loach:
- "Blue" and "Rainbow" Flash. Both flowers and leaves grow as densely as possible, forming spherical bushes.
- "Royal Ensign". The flowers are dark in color - velvety purple flowers with a characteristic black tint.
- "Crimson Monarch". Bright crimson shade of inflorescences.
These are the fastest growing decorative types. In 2-3 months, the rhizomes grow up to 2 meters deep. If they tear, they form new shoots.
Bindweed is an annual plant that is grown from seeds. Due to the fact that this variety is low growing, it has many lateral shoots. Therefore, such specimens resemble the shape of a sphere. They look amazing on terraces, windows or loggias.
Indoor
In a house or apartment you can grow indoor bindweed, which was specially bred for such conditions. This variety is very capricious. It cannot be kept outdoors - on a windowsill or balcony. Exposure to direct sunlight will cause the leaves to yellow and the root base to dry out. In addition, indoor birch loves moisture. Therefore, it needs to be watered and sprayed regularly. Young taffy can be safely bathed in the bathtub. These procedures must be done in winter period when the air in the apartment is dry due to heating. You need to place a pot with a flowerpot in a secluded place, because drafts are dangerous for it.
If you plant a vine in a container, it should be placed on the south side of the house or closer to the east.
Caring for these three types of bindweed - field, garden and indoor - does not require much effort. This light-loving plant will become worthy decoration garden plot or terrace.
