The variety of decorative bushes is so great that it is difficult to decide what to plant. Today we want to introduce you to a decorative bush that attracts attention with its bright red leaves. It looks fantastic in the autumn garden. This is all about the winged beresklet.

Features of the plant

The winged beresklet can be grown both in large pots and in open ground. The peculiarity of the bush is the change in the shade of the leaves in the autumn period. It acquires a bright red color. It blooms in May and June with small yellow flowers.

Beresklet grows to a height of 2-3 m. It has a luxurious crown that grows to the sides. Pay attention to an important point. After flowering, the flowers turn into boxes with seeds. They are poisonous, so no one should taste them. Keep an eye on children and animals.

You can plant winged berseklet in the fall before the first frost or in the spring when it's warm.  If the bush is planted in a sunny place, it will be brighter. When grown in the shade, the shade of leaves and flowers will be pale.

Beresklet must be shaped periodically. The most popular haircut is giving the shape of a ball or an ellipse. Among the diseases, the bush most often suffers from powdery mildew. Treatment with Bordeaux liquid helps against it.
