I'm sure everyone loves peonies. Even if they are not on your flower bed, it does not mean that you are indifferent to him belong. I myself for a long time admiring the neighbor's flower garden exclusively on their flowerbed just can not have enough time. It was a real flower island off the neighbor's fence, which pleased look lush, graceful flowers of bright colors - yes, it is growing peonies.
Over time I also wanted to transform his land and now, finally, and I acquired these beautiful flowers. Having tried a lot of different ways to care for peonies, I, through trial and error, It developed its own simple systemThat adhere to for several years. I want to share my experience with you, I hope this information will be useful to many.
So, let us start with the main question that I often ask: is it worth to trim the root peonies after flowering? The answer is simple - there is no! If the flower withered - it does not mean that his life ended on this - on the contrary, its vegetation is actively pursued. From this point of pions roots begin to store nutrients for the future lay the buds. Well, you think about what the plant will be able to function normally without stalks and without leaves ?!
But in order to enjoy the lush flowers and next year, I advise you to crop wither crown pions. Will be sufficient only 10-15 cm, to the next blossom was even more beautiful than the previous one.
Another important point - Regular loosening the soil around the roots. Thus to the rhizome will be better supplied with oxygen, which undoubtedly will affect the general condition of the plants - it will be more comfortable on the bed.
And in the end I will say a few words about watering. Of course, in comparison with the cucumbers, peonies can live without water for much longer, but still, according to my observations, the moisture they need. So do not go around doing the bed of peonies during watering vegetable crops - highlight these plants a couple of buckets of water - you will see as soon as they come to life and will bloom even brighter!
So I advise you to acquire and such beauty - peonies decorate your yard, and in the air, during their flowering, will soar lovely fragrance.
