How and when to plant peony

1. Planting time

Peonies are usually planted between August and September in autumn. The temperature is more suitable at this time, germination can be faster, and it is beneficial to later growth. If you plant it after late September, it will affect rooting, reduce the survival rate, and it may not be able to withstand the severe cold, resulting in plant death.

2. Planting Method

1. Land preparation and seed selection: Choose sandy soil for planting. Prepare the land before planting and deep plow the soil to a depth of about 30 centimeters. Also add an appropriate amount of farmyard manure as base fertilizer. In addition, choose seeds with full grains and pick out those with impurities and those that are shriveled.

2. Soak the seeds: After selecting the seeds, soak them in warm water for two days, and then take them out after the seed coat becomes soft. It is best to soak it in alcohol for 20 minutes and then plant it after washing.

3. Sowing seeds into the soil: Sowing can be carried out after everything is ready. Just spread the seeds evenly on the top of the soil, cover them with a layer of soil and then cover them with plastic film. They will take root in about a month.
