Its flowers are beautiful and one of the most requested by brides for their wedding. We’re talking about peonies, which bloom only three months a year, from mid-April to July.

Elegant and refined, they show off delicate and graceful colors. But how do you grow peony? First of all, it is useful to know that there are different varieties and it is possible to divide them into two types: shrubby and herbaceous.

The peony flower, beyond the variety, is full of petals and is a symbol of prosperity and good luck.

Although it only blooms in late spring, peony is very hardy, so it’s fairly simple to grow it in pots or in the garden. Let’s see how.

Peony cultivation

First of all, herbaceous peony is easier to grow in pots. Shrubs can be grown in the garden or in large pots on the terrace.

The peony plant should be placed in a very bright area but away from direct sunlight.

It needs to be fertilized and needs a lot of water, especially in hot weather, but always pay attention to stagnation to avoid root rot.
