Abronia umbellata

Call the Giles family. There are 12 species of plants of the genus Abronia, the California state of the USA. We call the A.umbelleta, which is grown as a decoration ritual in our gardens, as Abronya. 15 cm. abbony, semi-durable, perennial herbaceous plant. However, since the plants can not tolerate very hard winters, the plant is often subjected to one year of operation; ie when the air is too cold, the plant is removed from the eye and disassembled. There are short shoots, pale green colored leaves that grow in bed. It is the rose-colored and fragrant flowers that open in the summer, often in clusters on the end of a long stalk, which gives the beauty of the sought-after plants. Although the Abronian plant is not tall, the gardens are along the hiking trails and on the borders; The plastic baskets placed on the balconies in front of the windows in the houses stand very well in the pots hanging with the pots. The acceptable cut flowers in hand bouquets are considered flowers.

Demands and Production

Abronian plants, plenty of sunny and cool surroundings; sandy, light and dry soils. For this reason, the ideal thing for the plant is to grow in the gardens by the sea. Produced with seeds. Seeds are planted on cold pads in closed areas six weeks before the last frosts expected in the spring. The plant, which is germinated and leaves a little bulky, is immediately surprised to the places in the garden when it warms up to the tubers and then to the air; 15-25 cm. spaced apart. Or the seeds of the plant are planted directly in the gardens at the same intervals in the fall season, in regions that are warm in the winter, such as the Aegean and Mediterranean shorelines in our country.
