Αναλυτικές οδηγίες φροντίδας
Planting depth
Set eyes (growth buds) no more than 1–2 inches below soil. Deeper planting is a top reason for no flowers.
Support
Install peony rings early. Double blooms get heavy after rain.
Disease
Remove dead foliage in fall. Avoid overhead watering to reduce botrytis blight.
Division
Divide in autumn every several years if clumps weaken — keep 3–5 eyes per division.
