Growing peonies does not require any special knowledge.. These plants have a strong adaptability and can withstand even the coldest winters.
Peony flowers
We can admire the splendid blooms that range from pure white to intense red.. Flowering starts in mid-April, we see a boom in flowers in May and then they start to decline from the end of June.. The flowers give off a delicate scent similar to that of roses.. But let's see in detail how to grow peonies by following some useful tips.
Tree peonies and herbaceous peonies
There are many species of peonies, among the most beautiful we can mention the suffruticosa, which can reach up to 2 m in height.. This is a tree peony characterized by a white inflorescence spotted with purple or pink at the base.
A very popular variety is the red peony, among these the Sang Lorrain differs a little from the other varieties because it loves to thrive in full sun.
All tree peonies can reach a height of 2 meters. They have a woody trunk and many branches that become completely bare in winter. The tree peony is a deciduous plant and the stem re-sprouts every spring.
The herbaceous peony, on the other hand, dries up completely in winter.. The tuber remains in the ground and then sprouts again every spring.
Tree peonies can be grown to form very large, woody bushes.. In width, both types of peonies can expand to cover a two-meter patch.
Peonies are very suitable for harvesting cut flowers and drying.. Experts recommend picking peony flowers early in the morning to ensure that their scent lasts as long as possible.
How to Plant a Peony
Tree peonies should be planted at a distance of 130 – 150 cm from each other.. For herbaceous peonies, however, the distance to be respected between the different plants is approximately 80 cm.
For both shrubby and herbaceous begonias, the width of the hole should be 40 cm.. At the bottom of the excavation, place a couple of cm of expanded clay to maximize drainage.. The tuber should be placed at a depth of 4-5 cm.
Immediately after planting, it is necessary to water abundantly so that the roots adhere to the soil.
How to Grow Peonies
Here are some key points to keep in mind when growing peonies.
Prefer light, alkaline soils.
Prefer shady or semi-shaded environments when planting.
Increase the intensity and frequency of watering during the period from spring to early autumn.
For the first two years of life, ensure greater care for the plant. The tree peony is very long-lived, so much so that if the roots grow well, peonies can live up to 50 years.
The germination time of peony is about 2 years.
