What month is suitable for planting peony?

Peony is suitable for planting in autumn, which is from September to October, and the new roots and new shoots of peony grow in this period. After transplanting in autumn, the injured roots can gradually heal and grow new roots again, which is conducive to the continued growth of peony in the spring of the second year.

How to plant peony

1. Soil: Peony is suitable for growing in loose, fertile and humus-rich soil. You can use leaf mold, sandy soil and garden soil in a ratio of 2:2:1. You can also plow the soil to increase the soil's air permeability, and then add some decomposed farmyard manure to the soil to increase soil fertility.

2. Light: Peony needs more than 8 hours of natural light during its growth process. If there is insufficient light, the flowers will only grow leaves but no flowers.

Points to note when planting peony

1. Watering: Note that although peonies have a high demand for water, if watering is too frequent, it will cause root waterlogging and rot. When watering peonies, you need to observe the degree of soil moisture first. If the soil surface turns white and dry, you need to water the peonies.

2. Fertilization: Peony needs to be provided with sufficient nutrients during the growth and flowering periods. It can be fertilized 1-2 times every month. Fertilizer can be more mature farm manure, such as chicken, duck, cow manure, etc.
