Are peonies afraid of freezing in winter?

1. Are you afraid of freezing?

Peonies are somewhat cold-resistant and are not afraid of the cold in winter, especially in some areas in the south. Basically, no protective measures need to be taken and they can survive the winter smoothly. However, if you grow it in the north, it is best to take cold-proof measures in advance to prevent the peony flowers from being frozen.

2. Winter maintenance

1. Bring it indoors: The outdoor temperature in the north is very low in winter, so it must be moved indoors after winter begins, and a sunny location must be found to help it survive the winter.

2. Light: As mentioned above, you should spend the winter in a place with good light. It is recommended that you can receive sufficient light all day during the winter. Moreover, the position where it is placed should not be facing the wind outlet, otherwise it may be frozen.

3. Less water: Because the temperature is relatively low in winter, and the plant's ability to absorb water will also be reduced, so less water must be used, otherwise the roots may rot. Moreover, it will increase the chance of frostbite, so try to keep the soil slightly moist but without water accumulation.
