Watering, fertilizing, cutting and more

Planting peasant roses

Plant yours Peony best in a sunny or partially shaded place protected from the wind with a well-drained soil. Do not put the plant too deep in the soil, otherwise it will not bloom beautifully later. If the roots are very long, shorten them a little before planting. Shrub peonies like it slightly shady, their delicate flowers then last longer.

Water and fertilize farmer roses properly

A flowering peony needs a lot of water, but at least the older plant is able to provide for itself well thanks to its long taproots. Younger peonies, on the other hand, should be watered sufficiently as soon as the soil has dried.

Make sure you avoid waterlogging when watering, as the farmer's rose does not tolerate this well. If the soil is rather firm, then you should occasionally provide your older peony with additional water. However, she does not need fertilizer, just some compost or humus in the spring.

Cut peasant roses

The beautiful large flowers of the peony are also shown to their best advantage in a vase. To do this, cut the stems with the buds that have not yet fully blossomed in the morning before they are in full sun. The perennial peony does not need regular pruning.

Country roses in winter

Both the perennial and shrub peonies are hardy. The above-ground parts of the perennial peonies perish in winter. As soon as they become ugly and withered in autumn, you can also cut back the plants. The shrub peony, on the other hand, does not appear until spring circumcised. If you like it, you can even turn this peony into one High trunk raising.

The most important care tips:

• sunny to partially shaded and sheltered location
• permeable soil
• Water the young plants well
• hardly to not fertilize at all
• Cut back in autumn or spring
• hardy
