Secrets of growing peonies

Peony flowers are known not only here - they are well known in Asia, Greece, and even in Rome. This plant is used not only as an ornamental, but also as a medicinal plant. There are certain recommendations for breeding them:

• The place should be open, sunny, but sheltered from the winds;
• Peonies require air circulation - it is better not to plant them near buildings, as well as close to trees;
• Heavy shading leads to poor flowering - even several hours of shade a day is dangerous for peonies;
• Work the soil - it should be loamy, well dug;
• Damp places are dangerous for peonies - then drainages from rubble, gravel, at a depth of more than half a meter will be required;
• They do not need frequent watering, each bush requires 2-3 buckets for an adult bush, since the roots lie deep enough, and they need to be fed entirely;
• In the spring, before flowering, watering is especially important, as well as during flowering, and after watering, the land must be loosened - this will help retain moisture in the soil, as well as for aeration and to remove weeds;
• By removing weeds by loosening, we ensure that all the nutrients are received by the peonies and that other plants do not spread disease to the peonies;
• When autumn comes, peonies need to cut the stems to the level of the soil.

If the care was correct, the peony will live for about 20 years. Peonies are best propagated by rhizomes. There should be several buds on one fragment. Pests are indifferent to this flower. So we conclude that growing and caring for peonies is not as difficult as it seems.
