Peonies are one of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers that you can grow in your garden.

They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

But sometimes peonies may stop blooming prematurely or even not bloom at all. Why does this happen and how can you avoid it?

One of the main reasons for premature wilting of peonies is a lack of nutrients in the soil or water. This leads to weakening of plants and a decrease in their immunity. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are especially important for peonies, which promote growth, flowering and health of plants.

To prevent nutrient deficiencies, there are a few rules to follow.
