When does the peony bloom?

1. Flowering time

Peonies usually bloom from April to May, but their flowering period is relatively short. However, many times, the time and duration of its flowering are affected by differences in climate and region. For example, when peonies bloom in Gansu, they bloom about a month later than in other places.

2. Management before and after flowering

1. Fertilizer before flowering: It needs more nutrients before flowering, and its ability to absorb fertilizers is stronger, so it needs more nutrients at this time. You can apply fertilizer 2-3 times before flowering, which can make its flower buds larger and the flowers more colorful.

2. Water management: When it blooms, the climate in the northern region is still relatively dry, so pay attention to its water needs at this time. Water thoroughly in March and April before flowering to lay the foundation for flowering. Stop watering when it is close to flowering. When watering after flowering, be sure not to spray water on the flowers, as this will greatly reduce the flowering time.

3. Light management: Many flower lovers will try to find ways to extend the flowering period. We can do this by proper shading. When the flower buds just open, use a thin white cloth to provide shade. This will extend the flowering period by about 5 days.
