watering
Water your peony (Paeonia 'Zhu Sha Pan' CINNABAR RED) regularly and deeply. During the growing season, which runs from early spring to mid-summer, water it about 1 inch per week, either through rainfall or by using a garden hose. Once the plant has finished flowering, you should reduce watering to approximately 1-2 times a week, allowing the soil to dry somewhat between each watering. During the winter months, the plant requires only occasional watering once every few weeks or as needed.
sunlight
Peony (Paeonia 'Zhu Sha Pan' CINNABAR RED) prefers full sun for at least 6 hours per day. It can handle some afternoon shade, especially if the climate is hot, but morning hours of sun are beneficial for producing the best floral display. When it comes to plants, the more sun the better! In fact, too much shade can actually lead to stunted growth as well as fewer blooms.
pruning
It is best to prune CINNABAR RED peony (Paeonia 'Zhu Sha Pan') in late winter or early spring, when the plant is just starting to grow. Pruning should focus on removing dead, diseased, and/or damaged stems, which can help to improve the plant's overall health and appearance. Flower buds should be pruned off so that the plant will focus energy on growth rather than flowering. Prune lightly by removing up to 1-third of the current season’s growth for larger-growing peonies and about 1-tenth for dwarf varieties. Pruning too much or too drastically can encourage disease and reduce the number of flowers produced the following season.

FAQ
Is the Peony popular flower in Canada?
Yes, the peony is a popular flower in Canada. It is highly prized for its showy blooms and long-lasting beauty. Peonies have been cultivated in Canada for centuries, and their popularity is due in part to their long-lasting blooms and hardiness in colder temperatures. Peonies are a popular choice in Canadian gardens, and flower arrangements. They are also used in bouquets and centerpieces, where their stunning colors really shine.
Are Peonies fragrant?
Yes, peonies are quite fragrant. Depending on the variety of peony, the scent can be described as sweet, floral, and citrusy. Some of the most popular and aromatic varieties of peony include 'Pillow Talk', 'Fairy Tale', and the 'Duchess De Nemours'. Peonies are often used in floral arrangements and can even be grown in your garden for a fresh, summery scent.
Can Peonies be grown in partial shade?
Yes, peonies can be grown in partial shade. While they require at least 6 hours of sunlight per day during the first half of the growing season, the second half is best if the plants can receive a few hours of shade. As long as the area is not completely shaded, the peonies should do well. These plants are also hardy, so they can generally thrive in a variety of locations.
Do Peonies require well-drained soil?
Yes, peonies do require well-drained soil in order to grow and flourish. Planting them in heavy clay soil can cause the roots to rot, as the soil will stay wet for too long. To ensure good drainage and aeration, it is recommended that the soil is amended with organic matter like compost or peat moss. The soil should also be slightly acidic, with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Additionally, peonies may need to be watered more often during the summer, as they are prone to wilt in hot temperatures.
Should Peonies be staked to prevent damage?
Yes, it is a good idea to stake peonies to prevent damages. Peonies are naturally tall and floppy flowers and as such, can easily be damaged by strong winds and heavy rain. Staking is a great way to keep tall peonies from sprawling or falling over which could damage the stems or flowers. When staking your peony, use tall, sturdy stakes that support the main stem of the plant. You can use metal or bamboo stakes, but be sure to avoid stakes with sharp edges or points as those could damage the plant or injure those tending the garden. Utilizing a supporting structure for your peony will help it to look its best.
Is the Peony a long-lived perennial plant?
Yes, the Peony is a long-lived perennial plant. It can live for more than 20 years in the proper conditions, and can even last for generations with proper care and maintenance. Peonies prefer cooler climates, and well-drained soil with a relatively high pH level. They will grow to approximately 2 -3 feet in height, with heart-shaped foliage and blooms in shades of white, pink, and red. Peonies typically bloom in late spring or early summer months and make an excellent addition to any garden.
