Peonies are very famous flowers in our country and are relatively expensive. Smaller peonies may cost around fifty to sixty yuan, while larger ones can be worth hundreds or even thousands of yuan. The value of peonies depends on the variety and age, with older plants being more valuable. In some villages, peonies have even grown into tree-like forms, with a single plant being worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Peonies are more suitable for planting in gardens, and the outcome is better with direct ground planting. Peonies have a strong root system that can penetrate deep into the soil.

Peonies do not grow during the autumn and winter seasons. The reason for planting peonies in autumn is to allow them to adapt to the environment better. As long as peonies can survive the severe cold of winter, they will certainly grow new leaves and produce high-quality petals in the spring of the following year.
Many flower enthusiasts wonder if they should dig up the peonies that did not bloom this spring and replant them. This method is technically feasible, but it should be done after the peony leaves have completely fallen off, then dig it up, repair the root system, and plant it in a new hole. However, protective measures must be taken in winter, such as wrapping it with plastic film or a quilt.
The key to planting peonies is the low temperature in winter. As long as peonies can endure the cold, with the gradual rise of temperatures in spring, after the beginning of spring, peonies will slowly awaken and grow new branches from the soil. These new branches are more active and have a stronger branching ability. Appropriate watering and fertilizing should be increased, using organic fertilizer which is more beneficial for absorption and is the best for the blooming of peonies.
