Anyone who has peonies growing in their country house expects the plant to bloom profusely.
It is clear that to achieve such a result, the flora representative must be properly fed.
The problem is that in the spring, many gardeners use fertilizers that are clearly not suitable for peonies.
A common mistake is the use of urea and ammonium nitrate.
The repeated use of humus as a mulching material will also be a gross oversight: due to the excess of this “organic matter”, the plant’s flowering may simply stop.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named a fertilizer that is safe and very useful for peonies.
What fertilizer are we talking about?
Peonies will bloom profusely and become a real decoration of your country house if you feed them with complex mineral fertilizer.
The fact is that in the spring the plant needs nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus components.
Moreover, their ratio should be equal. It is desirable that the formula looks like this: "20-20-20".
How to apply fertilizer correctly
One spring day, you need to dig a couple of small holes near the peonies.
It is desirable that the fertilizer be at a depth of 0.15 meters. Twenty grams of the product will be enough for each depression.
Of course, after the deepening procedure is completed, it must be filled with soil.
Earlier, the expert explained why summer residents continue to grow calendula despite the plant’s shortcomings.
