Peonies are bright and festive flowers that can be a wonderful decoration for any garden. Their cultivation does not require special efforts, as they are quite unpretentious.
However, one should not forget the basic rules for caring for these plants.
Many gardeners strive to extend the flowering period of peonies, and for this, it is necessary to follow certain recommendations.
Before the plants begin to bloom, they should be fertilized, as they particularly need additional nutrients during this period.
However, the need for fertilizers depends on the variety of peonies.
As experienced gardeners note, tree peonies require small amounts of complex mineral fertilizers.
Special products for roses can be used.
The same applies to herbaceous peonies.
When it comes to hybrid species, they require balanced nutrition during the growing season.
How to Properly Apply Fertilizers for Peonies?
First, the plants should be watered abundantly to avoid root burn from the fertilizers.
Then, furrows should be made 20 centimeters away from the bush, where the fertilizers should be applied.
How to Achieve Lush Peony Flowers?
The bushes need to be pinched, removing side buds on each stem and leaving only one central bud.
