Description of varieties of yellow peonies, care and planting

Breeding features

There are several types of reproduction of this variety of peony, the simplest of them is the division of the rhizome. It is best to start doing this procedure at the end of the summer season. The process is carried out as follows:

1. from the very beginning, you should carefully dig up the shrub plantation, after which the peony is removed from the soil; the root system must be cleaned of clods of earth;
2. after removing and cleaning the rhizomes, they are divided into several parts using a shovel;
3. roots and kidneys must be present on each of the divisions;
4. at the last stage, all the rods of the plant are planted in open ground immediately after dividing.

In the cold season, the plant needs additional protection, which will serve as a warming component - usually peonies are covered with sawdust, they perfectly hold back heat; in some cases spruce branches are also used.

There is another way to propagate a peony - cuttings. But it is used much less often in the cultivation of this type of plant, since technically this process causes difficulties in its implementation.

In selective breeding of peonies, they often resort to a propagation method using seeds. In this case, planting material is best sown closer to the onset of cold weather. The first shoots are expected no earlier than 1 year after sowing. After that, the plants are transplanted again.

Landing subtleties

It is necessary to be very careful about planting peonies and choose the most suitable place for growing them, since the plant belongs to perennials and can germinate for more than a dozen years. Therefore, the question of the landing site is so important for peonies.

One of the main criteria for a successful planting is the right time of the year. It is best to plant peonies in the spring. And also planting plants in the autumn season is not a mistake. The planting site should not be swampy or be in lowlands, since such a site suffers from stagnant water, this can have a very negative effect on the root system of plantings.

Representatives of the Henry Boxtos variety are quite viable plants that can quickly adapt to the climatic conditions of the region where they are grown. Such peonies are distinguished by their endurance to arid places, they tolerate the Russian winter well, and are also quite resistant to a high level of moisture accumulation.

The plant owes such excellent properties to its complex root system, on which the so-called dormant buds are located. The whole point is that they begin to function when their active representatives become unviable. Thanks to this, we can say that peonies have a second wind, which accompanies the good development of all structural components of the plant, and also allows them to bloom intensively.

The soil must be chosen carefully, as the conditions in it must be neutral. Therefore, the choice of fertilizers must be taken seriously. It is strongly not recommended to use peat. Such organic matter largely oxidizes the soil. You can reduce the acidity level with liming.

Peonies are very well accepted in soil with a significant proportion of clay and sand. Before planting, it must be well processed and drained. A small layer of top dressing is best placed at the very bottom of the planting hole, after which you can plant a bush. Small roots should be straightened in different directions and covered with earth, the average layer should be 6 centimeters. Next, you need to water the plant abundantly.

Instead of a conclusion

It is impossible to list all the varieties of Dutch peonies, there are too many of them. The above classification will allow you to make a choice of one or several types. But in each of them there are peonies, double and semi-double, simple.Even the form of terry can be different: pink, bomb-shaped or crown. And what are the original stamens, which give a kind of charm. The considered varieties can be considered only an example, a kind of advertisement for nurseries that grow and sell them.

If you want to do peony growing in your garden, then be sure to pay attention to the material presented. All these varieties perfectly tolerate cultivation on the territory of Russia and do not require specific care.

All you have to do is prepare a good soil and water it on time. And of course, enjoy the beautiful colors.

Description

"Canary Diamonds" refers to ito-hybrids of double or semi-double form, it is obtained through the crossing of tree and herbaceous peonies. Ito hybrids are perennials with annually dying off aerial parts. Their leaves are similar to the leaves of treelike peonies, do not die off for a long time in the autumn.

Ito-peonies begin to bloom in the second or third year after planting. Usually the first flowers are irregular in shape, but the next year, after the first flowering, the shape and appearance of the flowers are ideal. The flowering period for Canary Diamonds is mid-spring and early summer.

Terry peony flowers "Canary Diamonds" have a soft peach shade with yellow edges and an orange spot in the center, wavy shape. Some buds may remain yellow. The bush grows up to 90 cm high, has deviating and bending stems. The diameter of the flowers, which are held by strong peduncles, reaches 20 cm. The flowers have a very pleasant sweet smell.

Description

The Joker's appearance is delightful throughout the entire flowering period. Strong stems grow up to 1 meter in height. Roots are fleshy and tuberous. The petals are oval, corrugated. The diameter of the flower varies from 12 to 15 cm. The flowers are strongly doubled and, when fully blooming, look like a large ball.

"Joker" has color variations from delicate light pink to deep dark pink. Depending on the flowering period, the flower stalks have different colors. At the beginning of flowering, a dark pink hue is observed, and then it is replaced by a lighter version.

Landing subtleties

For lactic-flowered hybrid peonies, it is best to select loamy, slightly acidic soils that are far from groundwater. If the soil is clay, then it is necessary to add sand to it, and if it is sandy, then clay. In very acidic soils, a small amount of lime is usually applied.

Good air circulation is very important to prevent the plant from getting sick while growing in a particular area. That is why peonies are best planted in open areas, away from any buildings, tall trees and buildings.

Milk-flowered peonies are very fond of illuminated places, but, of course, they should not be planted under the rays of the scorching sun. The ideal option is the semi-shade placement of the flower, where it will be most comfortable. If the peony is planted in a very shady place, then, of course, it will grow, but you should not expect flowering from it.

Peonies are usually planted in the spring or autumn season. Young plants should always be covered. But adults - by necessity.

Landing nuances:

Pits for peonies are dug 50 by 50 or 60 by 60, a layer of expanded clay, drainage or, if necessary, sand is usually added to their bottom. The layer should not be more than 15 cm.
Humus, compost and wood ash are also added to the pits, which further make the soil more fertile for plant growth. All components are mixed and covered with earth so that about 12-15 cm remains to the edges of the fossa.
Then a peony seedling (young cut) should be placed in the hole, deepening by about 5-7 cm

It is very important not to deepen the plant too much, otherwise it will not bloom, but only grow greens.
Further, the rhizomes of the peony should be covered with earth and carefully tamp the earth around the seedling so that it “sits" tightly in the ground.
Then you need to make a hole around the seedling and water everything abundantly. When the soil subsides, you can add a little earth to it.

Usually, the holes are mulched using peat or sawdust, as well as using special horticultural mixtures, which are sold ready-made.
