When do Luoyang peonies bloom?

1. When to open

Luoyang peonies are famous far and wide. They bloom around April and May every year and are divided into three types: early, middle and late. Different varieties bloom earlier or later. The period from April 10th to April 20th is the peak flowering period and the best time for viewing. The flowers are brightly colored and graceful, making them very ornamental. The Luoyang Peony Festival also opens, so you can choose to go there to view them during this time period. The flowering time is not fixed and will vary according to the climate conditions and cultivation methods of the year. Sometimes the temperature in spring is generally high and the flowering time will be advanced. The flowers do not last long and will gradually wither in about 10 days.

2. Management of Peony Flowering Period

1. Provide diffuse light: Peonies cannot be exposed to direct sunlight during flowering, nor can they be kept in the shade without light. They need diffuse light.

2. Thinning flowers and buds: If there are many flowers in a given year and the flowers are in good condition, you must do a good job of thinning the flowers and buds. Thinning out the small buds will also allow the remaining flowers to bloom better. After the flowering is over, you can cut off the remaining flowers in time, which can reduce nutrient consumption and make the remaining flowers bloom longer.

3. Avoid watering: Water thoroughly before flowering to replenish moisture, and control watering when it is about to bloom. During the flowering period, you must not spray water on the leaves and flowers, otherwise it will shorten the flowering period and the flowers will easily wither.
