Cultivation methods and precautions of purple peony

How to grow purple peony

illumination

Purple-spotted peony likes light and is a long-day plant. However, in the hot July and August, it is necessary to do a good job of shading and ventilation, otherwise it is easy to cause leaf withering. Note that during the flowering period of purple peony, excessive light will also shorten the flowering period, so it is appropriate to build a shed for shade.

Moisture

It is drought-resistant and generally needs to be watered 2-3 times a year. If you are afraid of waterlogging, you must pay attention to timely drainage.

soil

The purple-spotted peony has low requirements for soil, is resistant to salt and alkali, and has good adaptability to the soil. Of course, it grows better in soil with better fertility, and the flowers it blooms are more ornamental.

Reproduction method

Reproduction is usually carried out by division, sowing, and grafting.

Things to note when growing purple peony

Purple-spotted peonies planted south of the Yellow River and in low-lying areas need to have good drainage, especially during the rainy season, to avoid waterlogging.

The soil in the Northeast is relatively loose, so surface water infiltrates quickly. Therefore, for newly planted purple peony plants, sufficient water supply must be ensured. Generally, after two years, when the new roots of the purple peony are deeply rooted, there is no need for excessive watering.
