For garden plots it is very convenient and practical to plant perennial plants, they do not require special attention and after flowering have an attractive decorative appearance. One of these cultures are peonies, which have long gained popularity among gardeners. There are many varieties with flowers of various shades, which are divided into grassy and tree-like. The advantages of this plant can be called a long flowering period (more than one month) and continuous growth in one place. A peony can feel fine without a transplant for up to fifty years. Resistance to winter cold and summer drought should also be noted, so these plants will be an ideal option for a garden landscape in any climate. However, peony transplantation is also important, which will have a beneficial effect on the plant. As a result, the bush will delight with abundant and lush flowering.
Peony transplant
It is better to choose an open place for peony bushes: in the open, there will be plants where to spread their stems, which will allow them to develop well. Dates of peony transplantation in autumn fall from the end of August to October. By this time, roots already grow in large quantities on the plant, and less hot weather will be a suitable option for growth. Peony transplantation is most favorable in autumn: the bush can take root before frost, planted plants are guaranteed to bloom in the next season.
To do this, you need to carefully dig a bush with a large lump of earth, you can divide the plant. The new pit should correspond to the size of the flower, compost or earth mixed with manure should be laid down. Peony transplantation should be performed immediately after the plant has been dug up: a long stay in the air will negatively affect further growth and development. Sometimes bushes in a new place for a long time do not give flowers. This may be due to both soil and possible improper transplantation. In addition, tubers may be too deeply planted, the soil may be insufficiently moist, and sometimes there is a shortage or excess of mineral fertilizers. To prepare the bushes for the winter period, leaves and stems can be cut, but not earlier than the month of October, otherwise in warm weather bud growth will resume.
Spring transplant bushes
But what if the autumn did not have time to complete all the work in the garden, is it possible to transplant peonies in the spring? At this time, you can transplant a whole bush without tearing it. This must be done as soon as the plant appears from the ground. Planting of new and divided plants is possible in the spring, but it is important to carry out such bushes with good care and observation so that they do not die in the hot summer. To do this, you should constantly water the plants and loosen the soil in order to retain moisture. Tree species of peonies have the same periods of planting and transplanting with herbaceous varieties. Proper transplantation of a peony will allow the bush to grow well, and soon it will decorate the garden with its chic flowers.
