Common mistakes that you should not make the owners of peonies in spring
Peonies - perennial, forgiving many flaws in care. But there is a line that is better not to go into the patience of a flower. The article contains the main points of the spring peony care, which should be taken into account for the abundant flowering.
Best the enemy of the good

What does caring Florist, when the snow melts and the ground thawed at last? Of course, it seeks to impose order on a bed: remove plant debris and choose proryhlit with roots persistent weeds. By the way, they always make their way to the light before the crop)))
No need to rush on a bed with peonies.
The life cycle of a flower - predictable. During the cold season, the leaves die, the spring from rhizomes punched new shoots. But the fact that they make their way irregularly and not in one day.
While peony sprouts have not grown by 3-5 cm, and let them rake ripper bypass bush party. Damage to shoots - one of the reasons for which a flower grows not so lush. In the meantime, for their own reassurance you can gently pull out of the ground sornyachki hands.
"Earth and so normal"
My friend every year, "fertilizes" flowerbed peat and then wonders: Something my flowers do not grow. Perhaps the neighbor on giving the evil eye. And very often notice that people do not really bother about the acid-base balance of the earth in the flower garden.
A peony likes slightly alkaline soil. Acid-flower does not die, but will not reveal themselves (and their gorgeous buds) in all its glory. Therefore, did not disdain limed klumbochku.
You can use dolomite flour. But the easiest option - barbecue and pour the ashes from the barbecue in the flower bed. Soon the long-awaited breath of May holidays, so take note. Of course, any other suitable and ash.
"I do not need to feed peonies - and so bloom"
Some gardeners for some reason stubbornly ignore fertilizing perennials. Although it may be easier - scattered a handful of granules of mineral fertilizers and conscience can be clear.
Peonies growing in one place for 2-3 years, have pulled out of the ground the majority of minerals. Of course, they will bloom. But then again. Without the normal receiving at least a trio of principal and macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) are not as they could be. It's like people on bread and water.
The optimal schedule of feedings:
- emerged sprouts - makes nitrogen or organic pile;
- We began to tie the buds - are focused on the potassium and phosphorus in the composition (which must be greater than that of nitrogen);
- after flowering - again, potassium and phosphorus, but it is desirable to completely without nitrogen.
The latter feeding - most, in my opinion, important. But let's talk about this "for dinner", in the summer.
