A cold-hardy annual or perennial plant of the Caryophyllaceae family (APG classification: Caryophyllaceae). The stems are delicate, well-branched, and spread out. The leaves are opposite, linear, entire, and few in bloom. The flowers are white, deep pink, or pale pink. The name comes from the misty appearance of the flowering plant. There are more than 60 species distributed in Asia, Europe, and northern Africa. They are used in flower beds, as cut flowers, and as potted plants. In recent years, perennial double-petaled baby's breath has been used frequently as an accompaniment to flower arrangements, and they are also cultivated year-round, and the repens species, which is suitable for potted plants, is also often grown. The following species are commonly cultivated. G. elegans Bieb., also known as the Dianthus elegans, is a winter-hardy annual plant native to the Caucasus. It is about 50 cm tall, and in May and June, it blooms with small white flowers with 5 to 6 petals and a diameter of about 1 cm. Varieties include Covent Garden Market, the large-flowered Maxima Alba, which blooms about a week later than Covent Garden Market, and the deep pink Crimson and Carminea. Gypsophila paniculata L., also known as Dianthus paniculata, is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean coast. It grows to a height of one meter and produces many small flowers. Varieties include Bristol Fairy, which has double white flowers, Perfecta, which blooms about half a month later than Covent Garden Market, and Diamond, which has flowers with size and flowering period intermediate between the two. Other pink varieties include Flamingo, which is pale pink, and Red Sea, the latest deep pink variety. [Uoman Eiichi January 21, 2021] CultivationIt can be easily grown in sunny areas with slightly alkaline soil and good drainage. Gypsophila elegans is sown in mid- to late September and transplanted in mid-November, but it grows better if it is directly sown in early October and thinned out in early spring. In cold regions, it is directly sown in March or April. Single-flowered Gypsophila paniculata is sown in April or May and transplanted in September, but it can also be propagated by division. Traditionally, double-flowered species such as Bristol Fairy were usually grafted onto the roots of Gypsophila paniculata or Gypsophila manguini in November or February or March, but since the 1970s, meristem culture (meristem culture) has been practiced as a measure against viral diseases, and with the subsequent advances in rapid propagation technology, most of the seedlings currently on the market are meristem cultures. The best times to plant in a garden are October and March. [Uoman Eiichi January 21, 2021] The name comes from the fact that the plant with flowers resembles a misty landscape. There are many varieties, and the flower colors include white, deep pink, and pale pink. They are often used as cut flowers. ©Shogakukan Photo by Masatoshi Hirose "> Gypsophila Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
ナデシコ科(APG分類:ナデシコ科)の耐寒性一年草または多年草。茎は繊細でよく分枝し、伸び広がる。葉は対生し、線形、全縁で、開花期には少ない。花色は白、濃桃、淡桃。名は、花をつけた草姿を霞がただようようすに見立てたもの。アジア、ヨーロッパ、アフリカ北部に60種以上分布する。花壇、切り花、鉢植え用とし、とくに近年、シュッコン(宿根)八重カスミソウは盛り花の添え花として多用され、通年栽培も行われ、鉢植え用品種のレペンス種もよくつくられる。よく栽培されるものに次のような種類がある。エレガンスG. elegans Bieb.はムレナデシコともいい、カフカス原産の耐冬性一年草。高さは約50センチメートル、5~6月に白色の5、6弁で径約1センチメートルの小花を密に開く。品種にコベントガーデンマーケット、これより開花が1週ほど遅れるが大輪のマキシマアルバ、濃桃色のクリムソン、カーミネアなどがある。シュッコン(宿根)カスミソウG. paniculata L.はコゴメナデシコともいい、地中海沿岸原産の多年草。高さ1メートルに達し、小花を多数つける。品種に白色八重咲きのブリストルフェアリー、これより開花が半月ほど遅れる大輪のパーフェクタ、花の大きさ、開花期がこの2品種の中間の性状をもつダイアモンドなどがある。また桃色種には淡桃のフラミンゴ、濃桃で最新品種のレッドシィーがある。 [魚躬詔一 2021年1月21日] 栽培日当りのよい、弱アルカリ性土壌で排水のよい所なら容易に栽培できる。エレガンスは9月中・下旬に床播(とこま)きし、11月中旬に定植するが、10月上旬に直播(じかま)きし、早春に間引きするほうがよく育つ。寒地では3~4月に直播きする。シュッコンカスミソウの一重咲き種は4~5月播種(はしゅ)、9月定植とするが、株分けでも殖やせる。従来、ブリストルフェアリーなど八重咲きのものは、11月または2~3月に本属のパニキュラータまたはマンギニーの根に接木(つぎき)するのが普通とされていたが、1970年代以降、ウイルス病対策として成長点培養(メリクロン)が行われるようになり、その後の急速増殖の技術の進歩により、現在は流通される苗のほとんどが成長点培養のものとなっている。なお、普通に庭植えするには、10月と3月が適期である。 [魚躬詔一 2021年1月21日] 名は、花をつけた草姿を霞がただようようすに見立てたもの。品種が多く、花色も白、濃桃、淡桃色などがある。切り花としてよく利用される©Shogakukan 撮影/広瀬雅敏"> カスミソウ 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
