Wheat stalk chrysanthemum is also known as shell flower. Flowers are hard, shaped like shells and wheat straw, and they are named after chrysanthemums. Flower can make tea to drink, it has the effects of refreshing and relieving summer heat, refreshing and reducing blood pressure, non-toxic side effects, it is a beverage tea product. Beautiful flowers, long florescence, simple planting, extensive management, strong adaptability, pot planting can be planted on the ground, which is very popular.

1. Plant characteristics. Compositae, annual herbaceous flowers. Plant height 50-70 cm, leaves dark green, long oval, lanceolate, leaves alternate, 7 cm long and 2 cm wide. The flower is double, the diameter of the flower is 5cm to 7cm, the flower opens the stem top, has the very high ornamental value. The flowers are red, purple, orange, yellow, white, brown and many complex colors, with leathery light on the petals, dazzling in the sun and delicate fragrance. Each plant can bloom dozens of flowers at the same time. The florescence is very long, and it blooms every day from late spring to autumn. Flowers are not afraid of the sun, wind and rain, flowers are particularly hard, do not wither for a long time after flowering, is a rare "non-withering flower". Flowers can still be stored naturally for several months after being cut. Flowers do not deform, do not shrink, do not change color, is the best material for vase placement and flower baskets, and is also an ideal flower variety for potted plants or flower beds to beautify the environment.

two。 Ecological habits. Like warmth, like light, afraid of cold. The requirement of soil quality is not strict, the acid soil in the south and the alkaline soil in the north can grow, and the fertile and loose sandy neutral soil is better. It is more resistant to drought and long-term waterlogging is disadvantageous to its growth. The best temperature for growth and flowering was 15: 35 ℃. It could grow normally at 7-38 ℃, and the growth was retarded below 5 ℃ or above 38 ℃. In the northern region, the temperature below 3 ℃ for a long time after autumn will wither.

3. Cultivation and management. Sowing and raising seedlings from February to March in the south and from March to April in the north. Sowing depth 0.3cm, keep the soil moist, keep the temperature 1530 ℃, emerge in 5 days, seedlings with 5 leaves can transplant with soil. Potted plants use pots with a diameter of 15 centimeters and 25 centimeters, 1 plant per pot, 60 centimeters between flower beds and field plants, and 20 centimeters between plants. Pour water thoroughly after planting, and then pour it again when it is dry. No stagnant water is left at the root of quick pouring. Drainage and waterlogging prevention in rainy season. It takes 50-55 days from seedling planting to flowering. Usually far away from the seedling root digging nest, burying rotten livestock manure or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium multi-element fertilizer, a small number of times. Red spiders and cabbage insects are easy to damage leaves or flowers in dry season and rainy season. High-efficient and low-toxic pesticide "kung fu" or "disinfestation" 1500 times liquid should be used to spray leaves and flowers. Do not pick flowers and soak water for drinking within 30 days after medication.

4. Pick flowers and keep seeds. The flowers will be picked back in the peak flowering period in summer, and the quality of the flowers at the beginning of harvest is the best. Cut off the leaf stem, dry it and store it in an airtight bucket box or plastic bag and save it for tea. At the end of summer and autumn, the flower hearts are covered with cotton-like fluff, and the seeds are ripe, picked back in time and placed in the leeward to dry. Dry and store. The seeds are dark brown and oblong, about 0.3 cm long and 0.1 cm wide, with 800 seeds per gram. The germination time of seeds is 3-4 years. It has strong reproductive power, falling seeds and taking root, and it has been planted continuously for more than a year. When the seeds are ripe, they will fall far away with the wind to take root and come out.
