The dimorphoteka flower belongs to the Asteraceae family, or Asteraceae. The Latin name comes from the Greek words "dimorphos" - meaning the presence of two forms and "theke" - meaning a vessel. This name is given to the plant due to the presence of two different fruits. The family includes twenty varieties. In its native lands on the territory of South Africa, it grows as a herbaceous, growing for several years, dwarf shrub, giving preference to areas in which, due to fog, the necessary level of moisture is maintained in the soil.

On the territory of Belarus, this representative of herbaceous crops is usually used the following varieties:

- Dimorphoteka Rain (D. pluvialis = Calendula pluvialis), grows up to fifty to sixty centimeters, the stem branches profusely, the foliage is narrowed. With a small fluff, the inflorescences of the rain dimorphoteca, placed on elongated peduncles, are snow-white, with a lilac, dark bluish or brown and black center at the same time and a purple side of the reeds of the flowers, located on the lower side.

As a result of combining this representative of herbaceous crops, notched and rainy varieties, varieties with large (up to ten centimeters in width) snow-white, gold and yellowish at the same time, peach and pale orange inflorescences have been bred. The varieties and types are especially beautiful: Beef-Butti - with delicate orange flowers, Glisnning White - with snow-white silky inflorescences, Jaaint Mix - the result of mixing a variety of delicate colors, for example, yellowish, orange and pinkish, Starshine - with snow-white inflorescences that are resistant to direct sunlight , pinkish with a yellowish middle, Teffa Golliaf - with elongated ligulate flowers of a dark orange color with a dark middle, Tettra Pollyarstern - with pure white inflorescences and saturated with lilac spots at the base of ligulate flowers.
Dimorphoteka perennial of two varieties begins the flowering process forty-five to sixty days after planting. The flowering process lasts at least two months. On all shrubs, twenty to thirty inflorescences are formed. The strong flowering process is helped by the removal of faded flowers. On sunny days, the inflorescences open early in the morning and close at four to five in the evening. On unclear days and at night, the flowers are closed. Seed material ripens twenty to twenty-five days after the inflorescences stop blooming. They are not removed by everyone when they are simply removed from the receptacle.

Dimorphoteka flower is bred using seed material, using dimorphoteka seedlings and other methods. In order for herbaceous plants to bloom in the first summer month, dimorphoteka seeds are planted in containers at the end of the first spring month - the beginning of the second spring month.Seedlings appear after a week or two. Fourteen days later, the seedlings are seated in separate containers. After transplanting in separate containers, the herbaceous ones get sick, which means it is recommended to plant in different containers eight to nine centimeters wide, planting three to five seeds in pots.
Dimorphic seedlings are planted in flower beds on a permanent site immediately after the cold weather in the spring season, most often at the end of the second spring month - the beginning of the last spring month. During this season, dimorphic seeds can be planted in fresh air (with this option, the flowering process begins from the second week of the second summer month). With a direct planting into the soil, the seedlings are thinned, the space between the bushes should be at least twenty to twenty-five centimeters. For seed germination of perennial dimorphoteka, the temperature regime should not be less than sixteen - eighteen degrees.
Application
A long-term dimorphic library is used to decorate rocky compositions, window sills and loggias.
