This is how you do everything right

The right floor

Ideally, the soil for peonies is slightly alkaline and calcareous, well-drained and not too rich in nutrients. But also more normal or slightly acidic Garden soil is still suitable for the peasant rose.

However, waterlogging should not be able to form. If the soil is too firm, loosen it up a little with gravel or coarse sand. Her Peony would like to stand sheltered from the wind in a sunny to partially shaded place.

Is the peony suitable for planting in a container?

The peony forms tap roots, these are up to 1.5 m long and require a correspondingly large amount of space. There is hardly enough room in a tub or planter, the peony could not develop properly there and it will certainly not bloom in the tub. For planters, it's better to choose a different type of rose, such as one Dwarf rose.

The best time to plant

It is best to plant country roses in late summer or early autumn. Then the flowering period is over and so is the greatest heat. Before winter, the plants have enough time to take root, the autumn rain helps them with this. That saves you constant watering.

Planting in spring is also possible, maybe you have been scheduled for the purpose of garden redesign or relocation. In this case, you should water your peonies adequately, especially during a prolonged dry period. The same applies to transplanting older farm roses.

Caring for the young plants

As long as your peony has not yet developed tap roots, you should ensure that it is adequately watered. Later it can also draw moisture from deeper layers of the earth. Young plants are also not as hardy as older peonies and should therefore be protected from frost.

The best planting tips in brief:

• not suitable for pots and planters
• best planting time: late summer or early autumn
• Sunny to partially shaded location
• Plant sheltered from the wind
• permeable soil
