I. Blooming Period of Peony Flowers
1. Peony flowers have bright and beautiful colors with numerous varieties. When the stamens and pistils of the flowers are petalized, they form various shapes and colorful flowers. Like other flowers, peonies bloom in spring and summer, with the flowers blooming from April to May and the fruiting period in June.
2. Peony flowers only bloom once a year and the blooming period is relatively short, usually around ten days. However, in the southern regions, they may bloom 5-7 days earlier, while in the northern regions, they may bloom 3-5 days later.
3. Some peonies can bloom twice a year, such as the cold peony, which blooms a dozen flowers early in spring and fewer in winter. The 'Han You Shi' peony blooms in late October, 'Hu Chuan Han' in early November, and 'Shi Yu Yun' in mid-to-late November.

II. Blooming Period Management of Peony Flowers
Peony flowers consume a lot of nutrients before blooming, so it is necessary to supplement a large amount of fertilizer after blooming. It is best to use decomposed mixed fertilizers, such as sesame cake, soybean cake, and rapeseed cake. The amount of fertilizer should be adjusted according to the size of the plant, and water should be thoroughly watered after fertilizing.
After the peony flowers bloom, it is necessary to promptly remove the withered flowers, which can not only avoid the fallen scenery but also reduce nutrient consumption. For some single-petal varieties, if they are not used for hybrid seed collection, the flowers should also be removed after blooming.
After the peony flowers bloom, their resistance to diseases and pests is weakened. Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy growth of peony flowers, you can spray Bordeaux mixture or a 200-fold solution of carbendazim suspension a week after blooming. This allows the leaves to photosynthesize normally and accumulate more nutrients for the next year's blooming.
