Are you still buying peony flowers?
Let's follow the editor to see the specific content about whether you are still buying peony flowers!
Recently, many flower friends of ours have been tempted by others showing off peony flowers and immediately bought a few peonies themselves. Just like a flower friend yesterday, who bought a peony with five or six branches for more than ten yuan online, it has already sprouted flower buds.
But it always feels a bit off, so he asked the seller if it was real. The seller confidently told our flower friend: it's the color you want, whatever color you want is the color it is! Our flower friend saw peonies and asked if they could distinguish between true and false.
Ah!
Well, it's pure white and can indeed be imagined in any color! Today, let's talk about peonies. Oh, this sharing today will probably offend many people again.
Is it possible to plant peonies in spring?
There is a saying in the flower proverb, "Seven for peonies, eight for peonies," which means that peonies start to propagate in the seventh lunar month, and peonies start to propagate in the eighth lunar month. There is also a saying, "Plant peonies at the spring equinox and they won't bloom until old age," and the same is true for peonies.
Many of our flower friends buy peony seedlings in the spring blooming season, and they can survive and bloom, but they are all fake Fengdan, which is an oil peony with good vitality, often used as a rootstock for grafting to propagate ornamental peonies, while the real ornamental peonies are all transplanted in autumn.
So, those who really sell genuine ornamental peonies are basically pre-selling now. If you find goods in spring, you should be careful, and the price of ornamental peonies is also relatively high.
When is the best time to buy peonies?
Peony flowers are transplanted after dormancy in autumn, so the actual time for sale is very limited. Therefore, everyone uses the method of pre-ordering, similar to the pre-ordering of imported bulbous flowers. So when to order is not important; the key is when to transplant.
Precautions for planting peony flowers
Planting peony flowers is still very simple, and the management of ground planting is relatively rough. When planting, the soil should be raised to prevent water accumulation from rain.
Apply fermented organic fertilizer twice a year, once after flowering and once in winter or early spring.
One thing to note is that the amount of division propagation of ornamental peonies is indeed very small, so grafting propagation is used in seedling raising. It is necessary to remove the rootstock buds in the first two years after planting.
Some flower friends have found that their originally red peonies bloomed white flowers this year, thinking that they had mutated, but it was actually the Fengdan buds from the rootstock that bloomed.
Therefore, when new buds sprout from the soil, they should be removed thoroughly in time. Fengdan grows very vigorously, and if not removed, it will seriously affect the growth of ornamental peonies and even cause the branches of ornamental peonies to wither. This point must be noted.
