Tree peony flowering: ultra-simple cultivation and care;

Hello everyone, today is Sunday, April 14. I am pleased to share with you the blooming of my tree peonies. These are shrubs that have been well established for about ten years. It was a gift from my brother. I planted them back then in fairly acidic, rich soil, well-turned. I water it the first year, and then the plant takes care of itself ever since. I have never watered it, not even during heatwaves. No fertilizers either. On the other hand, I put many shades of grass at their feet. It's working out quite well for them. Every spring, I eagerly await their blossoming, as it is spectacular. Each flower is sublime. If she were a woman, she would be a stunning, fiery woman, and everyone would turn to look as he passed by. Unfortunately, in case of rain, the flowers deteriorate quickly. As you can see, my peonies are in full sun from morning until evening. Compared to herbaceous peonies, tree peonies bloom earlier. Mine are hybrids. I have no idea what their cultivar is. They give me seeds every year, but I've never managed to get them to sprout. There is a third variety of peonies, the Ito peonies. They are plants resulting from the crossbreeding between herbaceous peonies and tree peonies. obtained by a Japanese man, Mr. Ito. Herbaceous peonies and Ito peonies are quite expensive to purchase. You need to budget between 45 and 50 euros for a 5-liter container, because they are difficult plants to reproduce. For two years now, I have been growing herbaceous peonies in the garden. in order to recover their roots to use them as rootstocks for herbaceous peonies. Success is a matter of chance one out of two, and we obtain the plant after three years. It was truly worth it given the sublime beauty. Please let me know in the comments if you like this type of flowers, plants— even the foliage is magnificent. I'll leave you to enjoy the show, as the bloom doesn't last very long—no more than a week. I'll see you soon!
