Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
Growing peonies is not difficult. With the right choice of place, planting time and soil composition, the bulk of young plants take root well. There are several ways of vegetative propagation of peonies.The most popular is the planting of root cuttings.
Planting by root cuttings
Separation and planting of root cuttings is a propagation method that gives almost 100% survival rate. Cuttings are formed on the sides of the mother bush. The stalk, ready for planting, has a shoot, a formed bud and a root system. Cuttings are separated from the bush and planted in a prepared place. Young plants, as a rule, take root well and bloom after 4-5 years.

What time is the boarding
The separation of root cuttings is carried out after the end of the flowering of the mother bush. Monsieur Jules Elie peonies finish flowering in mid-September. At this time, they are dug up and cuttings are separated for planting. The cuttings take root within 1-1.5 months. After that, they are sheltered for the winter.
Location selection
For a peony of the Monsieur Jules Elie variety, you need a sunny place. In partial shade, the plant blooms very rarely, mainly it grows foliage. It is impractical to plant bushes on the shady side. In the shade, flowering cannot be achieved, and the plant itself inhibits growth and may die.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
The soil for growing a bush must be neutral. The variety does not tolerate slightly acidic and acidic soils. Fertile, fairly loose and light soil is desirable. The optimal soil composition for growing peony:
- garden land;
- humus;
- sand;
- peat.
All components are used in equal parts. The flower is planted in a planting hole up to 50 cm deep. It is filled with fresh soil mixture. It is advisable to add a little superphosphate and wood ash or coal to the soil.
The root cutting is separated from the mother plant with a sharp knife. The cut is sprinkled with activated carbon. The cuttings shoot is shortened so that 3-4 leaves remain. The bottom of the shoot is soaked in a 0.01% solution of heteroauxin
Planting procedure step by step
Before disembarking, it is necessary to prepare a landing pit. It is dug out at least 50 cm deep and well spilled with water.
A soil mixture is prepared for planting. The pit is filled with soil. The mother bush is dug up and the root cuttings are separated from it. Shoots are shortened.
Cuttings are dropped to a depth of 10 cm and watered well. During their rooting, regular, but moderate watering is carried out for 1-1.5 months so that the water does not stagnate in the soil.
Important! The cuttings are planted to such a depth that the buds are 4-5 cm below the soil surface.Before the onset of cold weather, the rest of the shoot is cut off from the rooted cuttings
Rooted buds are covered for the winter with sawdust, flail or spruce branches

Seed planting
Peonies are usually propagated vegetatively. But this is not the only way. You can propagate this plant by sowing seeds. This is a long and laborious process. It is not used at home. Seedlings often do not inherit the varietal characteristics of the parent plant. It is advisable to use this method only under laboratory conditions when breeding new varieties.

The plant is fed once a month, watered regularly, after which the soil is necessarily loosened.

Care activities
Usually, caring for peonies at home includes:
- watering;
- mulching;
- feeding.
Top dressing
Top dressing is best applied by foliar method during the next watering of plants. For this, ready-made combined products are suitable, which can be purchased at gardening stores.Usually, immediately after planting in the growth phase, peonies need fertilizing with nitrogen, while setting buds, they need phosphorus in combination with potassium. In total, plants need additional fertilizing during the season 3-4 times on average.
Watering
For each adult bush of the plant, there are usually several watering cans with water. The water must be settled. Watering should be done regularly, but in moderation, without overflowing the plants.
Particular attention should be paid to watering in the spring, before the peonies begin to bloom. After watering the plants, it is advisable to loosen the ground
Loosening not only retains moisture more, but also reduces the formation of weeds and grass.
Mulching
As mulch, you can use sawdust, old grass, straw, or ready-made options that can be purchased at flower shops. Mulch protects plants from attack by pests, saturates peonies with nutrients and prevents water from stagnating after watering.
Usually varietal peonies live in one place without transplanting for 5-10 years, depending on the care they are taken. Typically, after this time, the plants are either divided or transplanted. But it should be understood that it will be difficult to do this, since adult peonies have a very large and branched root.
In the autumn, all the stems from the peonies are cut off. It is advisable to sprinkle the remains of them on the bush with wood ash. Young plants should be covered. But adults hibernate well without additional protection.
How to care?
To grow a thin-leaved peony, it is not enough just to find a suitable planting material and a place for it, you also need to know the intricacies of care. Mulching the land is a mandatory requirement. Along with less overdrying, this procedure helps to reduce the number of weeds. If it is done correctly, then there will be no weeds at all.
If the weather is dry, watering should be done every 2 days. When growing, excessive enthusiasm for watering is unacceptable. In the first days of autumn, the peony should be fed with mixtures of phosphorus and potassium. As soon as the land is exposed at the end of winter, it is necessary to lay saltpeter or urea. The consumption of these fertilizers is 0.05-0.06 kg per 1 bush.
Periodic loosening of the earth is required. But this procedure must be carried out with great care, otherwise the peony may suffer. Near its roots, you can loosen the soil a maximum of 0.05-0.1 m deep. Having retreated a little further, they plunge already by 0.1 m.
Shrubs need to be rejuvenated by dividing the bush at regular intervals. In the first two years after planting, the buds are certainly removed. If you leave them, the strength of the plant will be spent on flowering.
Leaves must be cut to the root. This is done only after the leaf wilts, pruning is carried out at the level of the upper leaves. This requirement is for purely decorative reasons. In this way, damage to the appearance of the peony with seed pods is excluded.
Feeding with mineral mixtures is usually carried out at 3 or 4 years of development. However, if the land is very poor in useful components, you can do this already in the second year. However, excessive nitrogen should still be avoided. Shelter for the winter is made mainly in places with a harsh climate. For this purpose, you need to use spruce branches (other types of covering material are much worse).
