Bukharnik : Beautiful long flowering
Bukharnik is a lovely plant that enhances any garden. It's popular because it looks good, can handle different conditions, and blooms for a long time.
What is it?
Holcus is a type of grass. It's also called honey grass or silver wheatgrass. It can live for many years or just one, depending on the kind.
Bukharnik grows from Europe to North Africa and southwest Asia. It does well in many places and climates.
The plant has stems that stand up straight or crawl along the ground. They feel soft like velvet. The leaves are thin, flat, and pointy. They are bluish-green with a white stripe on the edge or in the middle. This makes the plant look pretty.
Bukharnik blooms in the summer, from June to August. It has bunches of white or blue-gray flowers that look nice.
The plant is great for holding soil in place. So, it's often planted on hills. It also works well for borders and filling empty spots. This grass looks good with other plants, like evergreens. Bukharnik is pretty in Japanese gardens and near ponds.
The plant likes weather that's not too hot or cold. It grows best in loose, rich soil that is a bit acidic and stays moist. It also needs air that isn't too dry.
