Peonies prefer cool weather but fear frost, warmth but fear heat, light but fear shade, and dryness but fear moisture. Therefore, when planting peonies, choose a spacious, well-ventilated area with ample sunlight and fertile, loose soil. Avoid waterlogged, damp, or gravelly areas. When constructing a planting platform, the size should be determined based on the number and size of the plants, while the height should be determined by the existing terrain and groundwater level. Generally, a planting platform is 50-100 cm high, with a stone or brick base and some broken tiles or bricks. If the soil is too clayey, potting soil can be used instead. The potting soil ratio is 6 parts soil, 3 parts leaf mold, and 1 part rice husk ash. Unlike other flowers, peonies do not require irrigation or fertilization after planting. Mulching the soil in winter can provide protection from the cold, while removing the mulch in spring promotes growth.
