Peony

Distribution and ecology

Species of the family grow in the subtropics and temperate regions of Eurasia and North America.

Peonies prefer well-lit and sun-warmed areas, although they can tolerate some shading in the middle of the day.

The best time for planting peonies is August-September.

Peonies are propagated by dividing the bushes, but if you need to get a lot of plants of the variety you like, then you can propagate by layering, stem and root cuttings. The most reliable way is reproduction by buds with pieces of rhizome. Each part of the rhizome should have at least 2-3 buds.
