Peonies: planting, care, photo
Almost no flower garden is complete without peonies. And this is not casual, because this noble flower will not leave anyone without pleasant feelings. Even in the photo, peonies look very beautiful. Even in ancient times, this flower was a favorite of the emperors of China. Peonies have a lot of shades and varieties.
The peony is a perennial plant, and proper planting is the key to good growth. For planting peonies, you must choose a sunny place. This flower does not like shady areas. Well-drained soil is needed for this flower.
The peony should be planted at a depth of 60 cm, before fertilizing the pit with humus, potassium salt and superphosphate. It is best to plant peonies in August. For planting, rhizomes with 3-5 buds are used. When planting, the outermost buds should be at a distance of 5 cm from the surface.
Peonies can be planted in the spring, but they are less accepted and developed. After planting, peonies develop more into the root. Therefore, peonies begin to bloom only in the third year of life.
Like any other plant, the peony requires care. It is necessary to periodically loosen the ground, feed and water this plant. Water this flower 1 time per decade. If the peony began to bloom before 3 years of age, it is best to remove the buds. If the plant takes root well, then it will bloom better for the next years.
Peonies should be fed in the spring. Fresh yeast is used for feeding. They are bred in proportion to 10 liters of water - 1 kg of yeast. Add about 1 liter per peony bush. That's all the basic care for peonies. Successful planting and beautiful flowers.
