Peonies are considered the most luxurious flowers and a real decoration of any flower bed if they bloom lushly and for a long time.
To fully enjoy the aroma of huge buds, you just need to add fertilizer on time. Experienced gardeners have revealed the secret of lush flowering.
Before you run out to buy the ingredients for the nutrient mixture, you need to remember that bushes begin to bloom normally at the age of 3-4 years.
Until this time, they also require care, but you shouldn’t be upset because there are still no buds.
Feeding peonies in May
To achieve the desired result, you need to apply fertilizer approximately two weeks before the bush begins to bloom.
To do this, you need to prepare an infusion of mullein (1 liter of fertilizer per 10 liters of water).
When ready, add 20 grams of potassium sulfate and 40 grams of superphosphate.
In addition, foliar feeding should be performed once a month.
To do this, it is enough to stock up on complex mineral fertilizer.
As an example, you can prepare a solution from the Ideal preparation (according to the instructions) or use a urea solution (20 grams per 10 liters of water).
