Can peony be planted in Northeast China? Planting method of peony flowers in Northeast China

Peony flowers are beautiful and moving, and the most important thing is auspiciousness. They are symbols of prosperity and are deeply loved by people. The ancient poem goes, "Only peony is the true national color, and the capital moves when it blooms"!

Because peony flowers are so beautiful, many friends want to plant peony, and even friends in the northeast want to plant peony. Let's briefly talk about some problems of planting peony flowers in Northeast China!

First, it can be planted in the open air, but a reasonable variety should be selected.

It is freezing in the northeast, and the temperature in winter is as low as tens of degrees below zero. Ordinary peony varieties can't stand it. Fortunately, China has a vast territory, and there is a kind of peony that can make up for this regret. This variety is purple peony.

Please allow me to introduce Paeonia lactiflora, which is native to Gansu Province, China, and distributed in mountainous areas with an altitude of 1000 meters to 2000 meters. The plants of Paeonia suffruticosa are often taller than ordinary varieties and look stronger. When open, all varieties have dark purple or purplish red spots at the base of petals. The petals are thick and colorful, and they have stronger ability to adapt to adverse environment, especially excellent cold resistance, and even can tolerate low temperature of MINUS 40 degrees. In Changchun, Harbin and other places in the northeast, there are purple peony gardens, forming a beautiful landscape.

Second, potted plants should be considered when planting common varieties.

Paeonia suffruticosa is better, but it is mainly single and semi-double. If the purple peony is not beautiful enough, you can also plant common peony, such as Luoyanghong, Wei Zi, Yao Huang and other varieties. However, considering the severe cold in the northeast, we must be careful not to plant in the ground. It's best to plant it in a pot and move it indoors when the weather is cold.

If peony is potted, it is necessary to pay attention to skills. First of all, peony has a well-developed root system, so we must choose a larger flowerpot and a larger soil. Moreover, peony is drought-resistant and doesn't like too much water, so it is a good choice to use loose, breathable and drained soil, such as rotten leaves mixed with river sand. The most important thing is to pay attention to entering the room in winter, but don't put it in the heating room to let it hibernate beautifully.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the planting methods of peony flowers in Northeast China.
