For peony, there is such a saying: 'can harvest 80% tender, do not harvest 90% old. 'it is mainly because the seeds of peony are developed from ovules in the ovary. Generally, they mature in the first and middle of August every year. The seed setting rate decreases or even fails to bear due to the increase of petalization degree of pistil and stamen. When the seeds reach a certain maturity, the germination rate decreases with the increase of maturity. Sowing time is late. The hypocotyls of peony seeds have the characteristics of dormancy. They can be harvested from late July to early August. They should be harvested and sown as soon as possible, and the germination rate can be reduced too early or too late. I think your seeds may have too low germination rate if they are stored too long.

The disadvantage of peony seed propagation is that it blooms late and Hengshui soil is a little alkaline. The propagation of peony can be done by sowing, dividing and grafting. However, the time of sowing is too long. From the time of sowing, flowers can be seen 4-5 years later. The peony in Hengshui has less longevity, and novices are more difficult to serve. If the measures are not appropriate, even after germination, the peony can hardly grow. Therefore, the planting method of peony seeds is the most difficult, so the tree splitting method is generally adopted.

During the planting process, peony should not be planted too deep. 3-4cm is suitable. After sowing, the soil should be covered flat with the ground. It is commonly known as "seeds in the soil, but no more than five" (5cm). Then, the soil shall be gently firm and watered. In winter, it shall be covered with cereal grass, leaves or horse manure, or covered with plastic film to keep warm, conserve moisture and prevent cold. After the peony sprouted and unearthed in the next year, the seedlings were exposed to the ground. Only one small leaf was born for the weak, and two to three leaves for the strong. The middle ploughing and weeding should be carried out in time.

Peony is a deep-rooted deciduous shrub and flower. It likes sunshine and cold weather. It loves cool environment and avoids high temperature and sultry. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile and well drained sandy soil. It has a certain drought resistance but not moisture resistance. It should not be planted in low-lying areas where water is accumulated. If there is too much water in the soil, its fleshy roots are easy to rot. The characteristic of peony is "four suitable and four afraid", that is to say, it should be cool and cold, warm and hot, light and shade, dry and wet. Therefore, to plant peony, it is necessary to choose a spacious and airy place with sunshine in the morning and fertile and loose soil. It is not allowed to plant peony in waterlogged land, shady wetland and rubble land.
