Peonies are very beautiful flowers. And they can bloom so that even those neighbors who have them will envy them.

It's all about proper care, one of the key components of which is feeding.

It would be useful to know that these representatives of the flora love cultivated loamy soils.

Those that have deep groundwater and a slightly acidic reaction environment.

According to agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , if your site has clay soil, you can improve it by grinding it.

And clay can be added to sandy soils, while acidic soils should be deoxidized.

At the planting stage, peonies need to be given nitrogen-potassium fertilizers.

When the time comes for buds to appear, we focus on nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

During flowering, it is preferable to use potassium sulfide and superphosphate.

If we carry out foliar feeding, we use a solution with mineral fertilizer (spray the flowers according to the instructions).

In addition, ash can be used as fertilizer.

Experienced gardeners advise carrying out foliar feeding late in the evening or on a cloudy day.

But don't overdo it with fertilizers, otherwise you'll get an abundance of foliage instead of flowers.
