Kochia

Landscape design is becoming more and more popular every year. Due to the opportunity to buy all the products in the store, planting garden fruit and vegetable crops has become a hobby for many. Kochia is considered one of the most popular plants in landscape design. Despite its external similarity to conifers, it is classified as an annual. Due to its pyramidal shape and very small leaves, it is often called summer cypress.

In order for the kochia seedlings to become stronger and grow up to 20 cm by the time they are planted in the ground, it is necessary to sow the seeds in March (the second half). The seedlings should be on the windowsill. Kochia can withstand light frosts. Under favorable weather conditions, seeds form in place of the flowers, which will save the owner from sowing the crop for seedlings next year.

You will find many kochia photos on the Internet and specialized literature. Designers especially love this plant for its flexibility in design: green foliage easily takes the shape of a ball, a pyramid, or even a quadrangle.
