Peonies usually bloom in May and June, that is, in spring and summer. At this time, the temperature is rising, and the plant is growing faster. As long as there are sufficient nutrients, they are easy to blossom. Their flowers are solitary at the top of the stem, occasionally with 2 or 3 flowers growing side by side.
Peony cannot bloom all the year round. This plant is greatly affected by the climate. Generally, it sprouts and emerges in March and April. After the growth and flower bud differentiation of the previous year, flower buds will appear at the top of the stem in April. By May, the flowers will start to bloom, and the flowering period will end in June. Each flower can bloom for 5 or 7 days, and the seeds will mature in August after flowering, and the aboveground parts will wither from October to November.
Peonies are the kind of plant that like sufficient light. Receiving sufficient light during the growth period is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds. If the environment is dark, it will affect the flowering of the plant. It is usually placed in a sunny place to be exposed to the sun all day, but in summer, it should be slightly shaded to prevent the leaves from losing water due to exposure to the sun, thus affecting the photosynthesis of the plant.
Peony flowers need nutrients, so fertilize them in time. Generally, organic fertilizer is used as fertilizer, which can supplement more comprehensive nutrients and will not cause fertilizer damage due to partial application. In addition, after the plant is budding, it can also play a very good role in promoting flowers by supplementing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
Peonies themselves don’t like to be wet. If there is too much water, it is easy for the plant to continue to grow. However, proper water control can transfer the nutrients used for their growth to flowering. For the plant, it can also promote the blooming of flowers. During daily watering, just extend the watering interval a little. You don't have to keep watering very often.
