Peony is loved by many because it is one of the first flowers at the beginning of summer.

We suggest you read the care recommendations to have lush and large flowers.

The first feeding should be done in early spring with the following composition: 1 unit of nitrogen, 2 units of phosphorus and 1 unit of potassium.

When using classic complex fertilizer, add one third of superphosphate to it. Scatter 50-70 g of this fertilizer in dry form on the peony bush.

The next feeding should be carried out when buds appear on the peony bush.

During this period, add phosphorus-potassium fertilizer monopotassium phosphate, which does not contain nitrogen. This will allow you to create large and lush flowers.

Dissolve the fertilizer granules in water and water the plants.

Replace this fertilizer with regular wood ash. To do this, dissolve 1 liter of wood ash in 10 liters of water and pour this solution over the bushes.

The third feeding should also be done with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer 7 days after the appearance of the first fully formed flower heads.

In the spring, be sure to remove dry and old branches that may be infected with disease.

After fertilizing the peony bushes, mulch the soil underneath them with rotted humus.
