If you want to cultivate peony flowers
Comprehensively analyze the topics related to peony cultivation for you, let's learn more about it together.
Recently, a flower enthusiast asked that they bought a peony but didn't know how to plant it and hoped to receive help. So starting today, I will share some techniques on peony cultivation with everyone.
Peony is a relatively special kind of flower. I wonder if everyone has heard this saying:
"Planting peonies in spring will never bloom until old age!"
So, when should peonies be planted? Before discussing the planting time of peonies, let's first understand the growth patterns of peonies.
The growth characteristics of peonies are quite different from those of other flowers. Peonies have the following growth traits:
They produce roots in autumn, grow in spring, take a nap in summer, and enter dormancy in winter.
The flowering period of peonies is from March to May every year, after which they enter the flower bud differentiation period until mid-September, and then gradually enter the dormancy period.
Based on the growth characteristics of peonies, the most suitable season for transplanting peonies should be autumn!
Why don't peonies bloom when planted in spring? It is a common belief to plant flowers in spring, but why can't peonies be planted in spring?
As mentioned earlier, the growth characteristic of peonies is to grow in spring and produce roots in autumn. If we transplant peonies in spring, after transplanting, peonies directly enter the growth period, and the leaves and branches need to consume a lot of nutrients.

However, since peonies do not produce roots in spring, the source of nutrition is limited, and they can only consume their own stored nutrients. This can easily lead to excessive consumption of peonies, resulting in weak seedlings that do not bloom.
Identifying genuine peonies by the time of selling seedlings Many flower enthusiasts often buy fake peonies, especially新手 (novice) flower enthusiasts, who often buy peony seedlings in spring.
In fact, merchants selling authentic ornamental peonies will not sell peony seedlings in seasons other than autumn. Because peonies are bare-root transplanted, only autumn is suitable for transplanting peonies, and other seasons are not suitable for transplanting.
If the store you choose sells peony seedlings to you in spring or even summer, you can basically be sure they are selling fake peonies!
But with such a vast China, different regions enter autumn at different times. When should you plant in which month? Stay tuned for Green Plant Enthusiast website's updates tomorrow!
