Lush, with lush greenery and large fragrant flowers, peony bushes are probably the dream of absolutely every summer resident.

If you are also a fan of this plant, please note that they need a special approach to feeding, since peonies are rhizome plants, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

1. First of all, it is worth remembering that peonies do not need fertilizers in the first three years after planting.

These flowers will benefit from a well-filled planting hole with rotted manure and compost.

2. If you are eager to speed up the growth and development of a young peony bush, during this period you should choose to apply foliar fertilizers.

Preparations suitable for this purpose can be found in a store for gardeners and horticulturists.

3. After three years, replace foliar feeding with root application of nutrient compounds.

In the spring, for this purpose, use only liquid nitrogen-containing fertilizers or folk remedies in the form of manure infusion or vermicompost.
