When does the peony sprout and grow leaves?

Peony budding time

Peonies generally sprout and grow leaves between Qingming and Guyu, but the climate environment in each place is different, and the germination time of peonies in different regions is also different. For example, it will be 5-7 days earlier in the Jiangnan region, while it will be 3-5 days later in the Northeast region.

Peony germination requirements

1. Temperature

When caring for peonies, it is best to control the ambient temperature at 16-20℃, because peonies are not cold-resistant. If the temperature is too high or too low, peonies will basically not germinate.

2. Humidity

The peony galaxy is moist. Before planting, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water for 8-10 hours. The water temperature should be controlled at around 30℃. After sowing, the soil should also be kept slightly moist, so that the seeds will germinate in about 30 days.

Growth habits and characteristics of peony

The peony plant likes sunlight and can tolerate partial shade. It prefers to grow in a warm, cool, dry and sunny environment. The plant is also cold-resistant, drought-resistant and alkali-resistant. The suitable temperature for growth is 20℃, and it avoids direct sunlight.

It is best to plant peonies at the end of August, as the climate at this time is most conducive to the formation of flower buds on the plants. During the cultivation process, it is necessary to provide them with loose, fertile sandy soil and place them in a sheltered, sunny place for maintenance. In summer, they need to be shaded.
