Why Do Peonies Bloom?

Chinese6

Most gardeners get great joy out of tending to a plant and enjoying the rewards of the efforts. Peonies offer beautiful color and fragrance, however, certain factors help peonies bloom.

  • Beautiful blooms need proper care

Sunlight

  • Peonies love sunlight, and if they are planted in an area that gets too much shade, this can affect the plant’s blooming.

Soil Condition

  • The peony’s soil needs fertilizer. Peonies love potassium, and if there is a deficiency, the buds will be affected. Potassium can be added to the soil with a good fertilizer or even with wood ash from your fireplace.

Plant Depth

  • Peonies are very particular about how they are planted. If a plant is too deep, it will not flower properly.

Relocation

  • Peonies like to settle in and hate to be moved around. If you recently relocated a peony plant, it may take a year or two to see blooms again.

Weather

  • A frost that occurs while the buds are developing may affect whether the bud will actually bloom
