1. Morphological characteristics
Peony is a deciduous shrub. Mature peony plants can grow up to 2 meters high with short and thick branches; the leaves are usually bipinnate compound leaves, with 3 small leaves at the top of the stem branches, terminal broad ovate small leaves, green and hairless on the surface, light green on the back of the leaves, sometimes with white powder, and short villi or no hair along the veins. Peony flowers bloom singly at the top of the branches, with 5 green sepals per flower, the sepals are broadly ovate, there are 5 petals, or double-petaled, with rich colors including rose, purple-red, pink, and white.
2. Growth habits
Peonies thrive in environments with ample sunlight, fear extreme heat, have a certain cold resistance, and are afraid of waterlogging with some drought resistance. The optimal growth temperature for peonies is 16-20°C, and it is difficult to bloom below 16°C.
3. Cultivation and care
When watering peonies, follow the principle of "water only when dry, and water thoroughly when dry." Too frequent or excessive watering can easily lead to root rot in the plant. After newly planting peonies, water them sufficiently. Water a small amount again when the potting soil is dry, until the peony flowers bloom, and then keep the potting soil slightly moist. Newly planted peonies do not need to be fertilized within half a year. After 2 to 3 years, it is necessary to prune and shape the peony branches to enhance their ornamental value.
