How to plant peony seedlingsArticle summary: This article provides an explanation on how to plant peony seedlings and the methods and timing for planting peony seeds in the field of green plants and flowers, followed by a comprehensive introduction.Peony flowers are enchanting, with delicate pink translucency and crystal-clear white petals, making them highly ornamental flowers. They are among our famous traditional top ten famous flowers, also known as the Prime Minister of Flowers, sharing fame with peonies as renowned ornamental flowers. Peonies are also called women's flowers, as their roots and tubers are a versatile and effective medicine for gynecological conditions. Peonies have high ornamental and economic value. Due to their loose growing environment, they have better cold resistance than peonies. It is more common to see peonies planted in rural courtyards and on both sides of gateways than peonies. Peony flowers are large and the leaves are green, making them a perennial herbaceous plant that can be enjoyed for many years after planting. What are the methods for propagating peonies, and when is the best time to plant them?Peonies are mainly propagated by播种 (播种 means sowing) and division. Sowing is suitable for large-scale field planting of peonies, but it has some disadvantages. The growth cycle of peony propagation by sowing is relatively long, and it takes several years to reach flowering. Division is an earlier flowering propagation method and is the most commonly used. Peony roots and tubers are sold in flower shops, bird and flower markets, and at rural fairs, making it a propagation method with a high survival rate, easy flowering, and easy maintenance.The best time for sowing propagation is in autumn. Peonies are a typical cool-loving plant. High temperatures can easily scorch young seedlings, while low temperatures can prevent seeds from germinating due to their hard shells. The best time for sowing peonies is in the cool autumn when it's not too cold or too hot. Before sowing, the seeds need to be pre-germinated by soaking in water or wrapping in a wet towel. Once the seeds have whitened, they can be planted. Peony sowing has high environmental requirements, and peonies propagated by sowing bloom later, so division is often used for planting.Peony division is also done after the cool autumn. There is a saying in the countryside: "Divide peonies in spring, and they won't bloom until old age." This means that it is not suitable to propagate peonies by division when they are just germinating in spring. The division process can cause significant damage to the root tubers. Although it won't prevent them from blooming until old age, the blooming period can be extended. Therefore, division propagation is rarely done in spring, while doing it in autumn allows nutrients to return to the rhizomes, causing less damage to the root tubers. Peonies divided in autumn can bloom in the following spring.Peonies are a common and popular flower. Many families in our village have peony plantings. This season is the peak blooming period for peonies, with dense and large flowers that indeed have a strong ornamental value.The above is a related explanation on how to plant peony seedlings and the methods and timing for planting peony seeds, hoping to bring a little help to your life!
