Spring Management Methods for Peonies

Spring management methods for peony flowers: water well in spring

In order to prevent the peony from sprouting too early and being harmed by late frost and spring cold, it is recommended to water it early in the spring to delay sprouting and improve the quality of flowering.

How to manage peony flowers in spring: reasonable pruning

When pruning peonies, all new soil buds should be cut off cleanly, while branches for renewal and correction of crown shape can be retained. Why do this? Because soil buds will consume a lot of nutrients, seriously affecting the quality of flowers and the differentiation of flower buds.

Spring management methods for peonies: fertilizing after flowering

Generally speaking, peonies should be fertilized three times a year, namely base fertilizer in autumn, before flowering in early spring, and post-flowering fertilizer in mid-spring. After the peony blooms, the previous fertilizer has been consumed. At this time, adding compound fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus fertilizer will ensure that the peony grows more luxuriantly.

Spring management methods for peonies: shading during flowering period

Many people would say, doesn’t peony like light? Why shade? Shading can effectively prevent peonies from being exposed to the sun. You should know that this is the reason why the peonies raised by many people have a short flowering period. Therefore, remember to do a good job of shading during the flowering period, which can more effectively keep the flowers fresh!
