Features of planting and growing.

Choosing a place for herbaceous peonies.

- Peonies require a well-lit place. They can withstand light shading. In the shade, the plants will either not bloom, or they will do it poorly.

- Peonies do not like the neighborhood with fruit plantations, with which they begin to struggle for nutrients.

- Peonies are not advised to plant next to buildings - in the summer, the bushes will overheat, and the flowers will be damaged by a drop from the roofs.

- Peonies do not tolerate stagnant water. If there is a possibility of bush flooding on the site, if possible, drainage should be done or planted on a hill. This should protect it from rotting of the root system. Otherwise, the plant will have poor development or even die.

- Peonies prefer moisture-absorbing and sufficiently breathable soil. Loamy soils are best suited for development. The reaction of the soil medium should be neutral or slightly acidic pH 6.0 - 7.0.

Planting and care of herbaceous peonies.

- The size of the landing pit should be 50 * 50 * 50 cm.

- A peony seedling should be planted in such a way that the rhizome is covered by 4-5 cm. If you deepen the plant, it will grow, but will not bloom. If you plant the plant too high, the winter hardiness of the plant will decrease.

- The feeding area of ​​one bush is 1 - 1.5 m.

- Peonies should be fed in the spring. When planting, organic fertilizer (horse humus or humus) should be applied at the rate of 5-15 kg / m2; from mineral nutrition, you can take urea (50-100 g) or ammonium nitrate with nitroammoth (15-20 g each). In autumn, it is also possible to fertilize with various complex fertilizers, WITHOUT nitrogen content. On rich lands, top dressing is often not necessary, and on poor, sandy soils, fertilization must be applied annually.

- Young plants can also be fed foliarly. From the second half of May, spray with a complex mineral readily soluble fertilizer. Like watering, this operation should be done either in the morning or in the evening to avoid sunburning the foliage.

- In the first year after planting, it is recommended to cut the buds. In the future, to obtain larger buds, one bud should be left on one shoot. The buds should be removed while they are embedded in the steel about 1 cm in diameter.

- Watering peonies should be carried out immediately after planting during the first 3-4 weeks several times a week. In the future, the plant is watered as needed. An adult bush requires 15-25 liters of water. It is better to water less often, but more thoroughly than more often, but shallowly. After watering, the ground in the near-trunk circle is loosened

It is very important that the soil is well moistened before flowering, that is, in late spring and August, during the laying of flower buds.

- The trunk circle is required when growing peonies. No plants should be planted in it, it must be kept clean of weeds; loosen constantly. If desired, you can separate the area of ​​the trunk circle from the lawn with a curb tape (you cannot use iron sheets or concrete products for these purposes).

- In autumn, the entire above-ground part is cut and disposed of (compost pit or fire)

Landing

Responsible planting ensures abundant flowering and long plant life.

Seat selection

The choice of the site on which it will grow is important for the growth of the crop.

Illumination

The variety feels comfortable in well-lit areas. However, the plants are not drought-resistant, they like light shading from the sun.

Deep bedding of groundwater

The selected area for planting the plant should have a deep groundwater table in order to prevent root rot.

Ground requirements

In order for the culture to annually please with abundant flowering, the soil on the site must be slightly acidic and with a loose structure.

In the case when the soil is acidic, lime is added.

Timing

A favorable time for planting a plant is the end of August. If the seedling is planted in the spring, then the period is chosen early - until a steady warming begins. It is recommended to plant in April-May, before the shoots regrow.

Landing scheme

The culture is planted in pits prepared 1 week before planting, 50 by 50 centimeters in size. The bottom of the hole fits:

• drainage;
• sand;
• peat;
• organic or mineral fertilizer;
• garden soil.

After planting, the plant is watered abundantly.

The main care consists in watering, weeding, pruning and feeding the crop.

Watering

The plant is watered abundantly in spring, during bud setting, flowering and in autumn when buds are laid.

It takes 2 buckets of water per bush to moisten the root system.

Loosening and weeding

Weeds should be removed as they spread disease and clog the soil. Timely weeding protects the crop from infection.

Loosening is carried out to a depth of 5 centimeters.This will ensure the ingress of oxygen into the rhizome and better penetration of moisture and nutrients.

Top dressing

Fertilizers should be applied to well-watered soil. During the season, 3 dressings are carried out:

• in early spring - with urea, potassium sulfate;
• when buds are formed - superphosphate;
• after flowering, for the development of rhizomes - potash and phosphorus fertilizers.

You should start feeding the plant in the fourth year of life.

Mulching

To protect the plant from the sun and drought, the bush is mulched with bark and compost. So the soil is kept in moderate moisture and coolness.

Shelter for the winter

The variety does not require shelter for the winter. If the plants are planted in cold regions with severe frosts, it is recommended to cover the cut bushes with coniferous spruce branches.

Prevention of diseases and pests

In the prevention of many diseases, organic farming helps. You should not abuse nitrogen fertilizing, and mineral fertilizers are applied locally.

Gray rot

To avoid gray rot, the plant should not be poured or planted in places where groundwater flows. Mold is removed with copper sulfate.

Medvedka

In order to prevent pests, the crop is sprayed with insecticides. You can fight them using folk methods, using poisoned baits.

As a preventive measure, it is necessary to fight ants; and remove aphids with insecticides, since it is these pests that are carriers of many diseases.

Growing and planting in open ground

Most often, peonies are propagated by dividing the root system. You can use both its whole parts and segments - root cuttings.

Attention! The high survival rate of root cuttings of the Coral Sharm peony was noted. In order to get new specimens of peony, an adult plant is dug up and the soil is partially carefully removed from the roots.

After that, the rhizome is washed in water and left to dry for a day. When the roots dry out and become slightly soft, dividing or cutting the cuttings is carried out

In order to get new specimens of peony, an adult plant is dug up and the soil is partially carefully removed from the roots. After that, the rhizome is washed in water and left to dry for a day. When the roots are dry and slightly soft, dividing or cutting the cuttings is carried out.

Preparing for landing

Before planting plants in the ground, you need to prepare for it and think over everything. This implies several important points:

• Landing time. Rhizomes can be planted in the ground in both spring and autumn. The most favorable period is the end of September.
• Accommodation. For peonies, you should choose a closed area with fertile soil. It is permissible to place plants in a place that is lit in the first half of the day, and in the second is in light partial shade.
• Soil preparation. On heavy or clayey soil, peonies grow poorly, and sometimes refuse to bloom. To increase fertility and improve the structure of the soil, rotted dry manure and sand must be added to the site. Before planting, a dose of complex mineral fertilizers is applied.
• Plant preparation. After removing the root system from the soil, it is washed and dried. Then it is necessary to examine the roots and cut off the damaged and too long processes. Before planting, it is recommended to soak part of the root system or cuttings cut from it in a growth stimulant solution.

Proper preparation for landing is half the battle. When planting in the ground, you must show no less diligence in order to enjoy fragrant flowers next summer.

Roots are used for reproduction

Landing

After carrying out all the preparatory measures, you can start planting peonies in open ground. The process itself is carried out step by step:

1. Dig holes 1/3 larger than the root system.
2. A layer of drainage is poured from broken brick, small pebbles or expanded clay.
3. Sprinkle with a mound of soil, previously mixed with compost and sand in a ratio of 2/1/1.
4. Place the rhizome, distributing the root processes over the surface (if we are talking about cuttings, they are placed on the top of the mound).
5. Gently watered around the perimeter of the mound.
6. The planting hole is closed up with soil residues and the surface is compacted.
7. Repeated watering is carried out and the surface around the plantings is mulched.

When planting part of the root system in the fall, the next year the flower will actively start growing. Before the onset of cold weather, watering is carried out several more times, and then covered with spruce branches for the winter. Although the peony Coral charm is frost-resistant, young plantings need shelter.

Attention! In the first year of growth, the plant may produce several buds. It is better to remove them to stimulate the development of the root system and the growth of the vegetative mass of the flower.

Seed propagation

Seed propagation of peonies is relevant only in one case - to obtain a new variety or intermediate results for breeding. As a rule, flowers of different varieties are used and artificial pollination is carried out.

Growing peonies from seeds is not as difficult as it is for a long time. You can wait for the flowering of such plants only for 5-6 years of life. That is why the root division method is a priority.

Seeds for propagation are used for breeding purposes

Growing

If you decide to decorate your flower garden with Armani peony, then this will not be too troublesome. For a long life, regular and lush flowering, this variety needs:

• in the right choice of breeding;
• in a constantly lit, without excess moisture, landing site;
• in dressing in spring, summer and autumn;
• in regular watering during the hot season.

Also, do not forget about the prevention of fungal, viral diseases and the destruction of harmful insects. With proper care of the plant, it can delight with lush flowering for 15 or even 20 years.

How to prepare the soil?

Armani peonies can grow successfully in almost any soil. But the best option for them is loamy. Heavy lands with a close occurrence of groundwater are completely unsuitable for peonies. In the event that the soil on your site is heavy, clayey, the soil must be prepared before planting. To do this, add sand and humus.

If, on the contrary, the soil is too sandy, then it is improved with clay and humus. Peaty soils are completely unsuitable for a peony. In order for the plant to take root, it is necessary to add not only sand, ash, but also organic fertilizers.

How to choose a site?

Choosing a favorable planting site is the most important for the successful growth and flowering of peonies. It is very important for them:

It is very important for them:

• good illumination;
• lack of stagnant moisture.

The most important thing is constant being in a sunny place. Any, even not strong shading can lead to a lack of flowering, weakness of the plant. Armani peonies are quite resistant to cold winds, but strong drafts are not for them. Damp lowlands are categorically contraindicated for planting. Excessive dampness will quickly destroy the plants.

Stagnant water is the main enemy for peonies. Therefore, before planting, it is worth checking the groundwater level. Ideally, if the waters are below 1 m, otherwise you need to provide good drainage or raise the flower bed. No need to plant close to fences, walls. Peonies need fresh air circulation, stagnation is harmful to them.

Landing

Autumn is the best time to plant any kind of peonies, including Armani. Terms - from late August to mid-September. The most important thing is to have time to plant flowers a month before the start of frost.

Peonies grow in one place for 10-15 years and grow significantly over time. Therefore, each plant needs at least 1.5-2 m2. The planting hole itself should not be very deep - no more than 60 cm, but with a diameter of about 80 cm.Any drainage should be put at the bottom of the hole, then fertilizer. A mixture of rotted manure, wood ash and potash-phosphorus fertilizers is best suited.

After filling the seedling with earth, it must be watered at the rate of 10 liters per plant.If the soil has subsided greatly, then you need to add earth and mulch the hole. Already in the first year of life, the plant requires fertilizers, so you should not postpone their application until the second year.
