How to plant peony flowers
A brief knowledge of experience, introducing how to plant peony flowers and the propagation methods and timing of peony flower cultivation. Let's learn about it together.
Is it possible to plant peony seeds in spring? Peony is one of the top ten famous flowers in China, ranking second and known as the king of flowers. Since ancient times, peony flowers have symbolized wealth and have always been favored and pursued by people.
The main propagation methods of peony are division and seeding. Seeding is usually done when the seeds mature from September to October. After harvesting the seeds, they should be sown immediately. It is not recommended to store them for a long time before sowing. Seeds sown in autumn, after wintering over, can sprout in May to June of the following year.
If the seeds are relatively mature and plump, the germination rate is relatively high. If the harvested seeds are kept until the following spring, they will likely be dry, which may reduce the germination rate after sowing. Therefore, it is best to sow the seeds immediately after harvesting. The longer they are stored, the lower the germination rate will be. It is not recommended to keep them until the following spring to sow.
Division is mainly done from September to October every year, when the leaves of the peony plant turn yellow and fall off. When the divided peony plant is planted at this time, its root system still has some time for growth and development, and it can enter the growing season in the following spring, blooming large and beautiful flowers the same year.
How to plant peony flowers
Peonies transplanted in spring, due to their flower and leaf buds being formed in the late autumn and early winter of the previous year, may suffer root damage after transplanting in spring and may not immediately adapt to the new soil environment. This will certainly weaken the growth of flower and leaf buds. Therefore, it is not recommended to perform division and seeding of peony flowers in spring.
