Growing
In order for the Peony Coral Supreme to bloom beautifully and for a long time, it is necessary to correctly carry out agricultural activities.
Planting with root cuttings
Propony peony is propagated by dividing rhizomes. To do this, choose bushes older than 3-4 years. An adult plant is dug from all sides, a shovel is divided into parts. Each dividend should have 2-3 kidneys of renewal.
What time is the landing
The procedure is performed in late August or early September. This is the best time for transplanting bushes. Experienced gardeners argue that during spring planting, peony blooms may never occur.
Location selection
To plant a peony, a well-lit area, protected from drafts, is selected. In partial shade and shadow, the shoots will begin to thin, stretch. Groundwater at the bushes should not come close to the surface of the soil.
How to prepare a flower and soil
The site is cleared of debris, dug up. Best paeonia will develop in a loamy soil with a neutral level of acidity. If the soil is heavy, add peat and sand to it.
The dug uterine bush is washed under running water. When the root system dries, it is divided into several parts. The resulting fragments are sprinkled with wood ash. This is to prevent the formation of putrefactive microorganisms on them.
Important! Before planting, all sections of rhizomes are treated with wood ash.
Landing procedure step by step
Peonies are planted in the ground as follows:
- dig a hole with a depth and diameter of 50 cm;
- lay out a drainage layer consisting of sand, small stones;
- pour a substrate consisting of leaf and sod land, humus, peat;
- in the middle of the pit establish a rhizome;
- fall asleep with a substrate, abundantly watered.
Renewal buds should not be deepened more than 2-3 cm.
If the peony is too deep when planting, it may not bloom
Seeding (for breeding)
Gardeners do not propagate peony seeds. This procedure is long and laborious. Seeds require preliminary stratification. If they are sown in the fall immediately into the ground, the procedure is implemented in the winter naturally.
Note! During seed propagation, some qualities stated in the description may not be transmitted to young plants. This process is interesting to specialists who develop new varieties of peonies.
Plant care
Care of the crop consists in timely watering, top dressing, loosening the soil. To protect against diseases and pests, preventive spraying is performed.
Watering and feeding
Immediately after planting the rhizomes produce abundant watering of the soil. Then irrigate the soil after drying of the upper layer. Since the rhizomes of the culture go deep into the ground, 2-3 buckets of water are poured under each bush.
If the grassy peony Coral Suprim landed in fertile soil, they begin to feed it only in the 3rd year. In early spring, make nitrogen. This substance contributes to the development of green mass. Before and after flowering, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are added.
Loosening and mulching
In order for air to enter the roots, the soil around the plants is loosened a few days after watering. To preserve moisture in the ground, the basal circle of peonies is mulched with a layer of 3-5 cm. To do this, use tree bark, peat, mowed grass. Rotten substances will serve as an additional source of nutrition.
Preventative treatment
Peonies are not protected from pests and diseases. Problems can be prevented by preventive spraying. In the spring, the bushes are treated with Bordeaux liquid. Then 2-3 times they are sprayed with insectofungicides.
Note! The procedure is carried out in sunny, calm weather.
Blooming Peony Coral Suprim
Pink-coral inflorescences bloom in the form of a bowl, the diameter of which is 19-20 cm. A delicate aroma emanates from the bushes during the flowering period.
The diameter of the buds reaches 20 cm
Period of activity and rest
The buds bloom in late May or early June. Flowering lasts 12-14 days. Then the peonies begin a period of rest. Due to the beautiful foliage, the bushes retain their decorative effect even after flowering.
Care during and after flowering
Before flowering, the bushes are abundantly watered, then fed. The dried buds are removed. If left, seeds will begin to form that weaken the plants. You can not completely remove the green mass. Through the ground part, the roots develop and flower buds are laid for the next season.
What to do if it does not bloom, possible causes
If the bushes are less than 3 years old, flowering may not occur due to their youth. Too old plants do not grow buds due to thickened rhizomes. To correct the situation, the bushes are dug up, divided into parts, each fragment is planted in a separate hole.
Adult bushes for lush flowering every 3-4 years should be divided into parts
Another reason is that coral peonies are too deeply planted. Flowering may not start due to groundwater coming too close to the surface of the ground. To correct the situation, the bushes, without deepening, are transplanted to a suitable place.
Peonies after flowering
Bushes need care not only before and during flowering, but also after it.
Transfer
Transplant bushes in late summer or autumn. They are dug up, divided into parts. Peonies are planted in a sunny place. The basal circle is mulched.
Pruning
The dried buds are removed. Immediately after flowering, flower arrows cannot be completely cut off and foliage cannot be cut. Through them, the root system is powered.
Winter preparations
Peony Coral Suprim does not need shelter for the winter. It is enough to cut off the aerial part with the onset of cold weather, and mulch the basal circle.
Important! In the spring, with the onset of heat, the mulch is removed. If this is not done, the root system of peonies may vypryat.
Diseases, pests and ways to combat them
With improper care, there is a chance of damage to the bushes by the fungus. Powdery mildew, cladosporiosis may appear on the leaves. They get rid of diseases by spraying with fungicide.
Of the pests, aphids, bronzes, can attack peonies. When they appear, peonies are sprayed with insecticides. The ants are very fond of culture, at the invasion of which the earth and bushes are irrigated with repellents.
Ants weaken plants, prevent the dissolution of buds
Coral Suprim is a peony variety whose flowers are painted in pink-coral color. It’s easy to take care of the culture. It is necessary to periodically water and feed the bushes, mulch the soil.
