Peony is an easy to grow and highly ornamental plant. The most important thing is that it can bloom at any temperature and is drought and cold resistant.

4. Control fertilization

Peony fertilization should be controlled and should be applied three times a year. The first time is when the new shoots are rapidly emerging and the leaves and flower buds are expanding, mainly using quick-acting fertilizer, which is called flower-promoting fertilizer.

Before the peony blooms, remove the excess buds in time after the side buds appear. This will concentrate nutrients and make the top buds grow larger and more beautiful. After the flowers fade, if you do not plan to collect the seeds, cut off the flower stalks directly to prevent the seeds from forming and wasting nutrients.
