How to distinguish peony from herbaceous peony

In our lives, many people like to plant some flowers at home. These flowers can not only serve as decorations, but also serve to green the environment. Peonies and peonies are very similar in appearance, and the colors of these two flowers are also relatively close, so some people think that these two flowers are actually the same variety. So what are the differences between peony and peony?

The main differences are as follows:

One is the leaves and leaf shape. The tip of peony leaves often splits again, while the tip of peony leaves is pointed and no longer splits. This is the easiest way to tell the two flowers apart.

The second is the flower stem. Peony can usually grow to 2 meters high and is a deciduous shrub, while peony is generally no higher than 1 meter and is an herbaceous plant. The stem of peony is woody, which is called woody by flower growers. The above-ground part does not die after the leaves fall. The stem of peony is herbaceous, which is called herbaceous. The above-ground part dies after the leaves fall. Touch the stem of a peony with your hand and it feels like tree bark.

Third, the flowering period. Peonies bloom earlier than peonies. Peonies usually bloom in mid-to-late April, while peonies bloom in early to mid-May. The flowering period of the two flowers differs by about 15 days, so there is a saying that "watch peonies in the three days after Grain Rain and watch peonies in the three days after Beginning of Summer".

1. Peonies are beautiful but have a short flowering period, while herbaceous peonies have a longer flowering period.

2. Peonies bloom first, then peonies bloom; peonies fade first, then peonies fade. The flowering period of peony is one week to half a month, while the flowering period of peony is more than one month. The two look quite similar, and it is difficult for most people to tell them apart. They are planted together to extend the flowering period so that there are flowers to be seen within a month.

3. If you want evergreen all year round, add plum blossoms and daffodils in January, apricot blossoms in February, peach blossoms and cherry blossoms in March, peonies in April, peonies in May, lotus flowers, wisteria, jasmine, all kinds of cut roses and Chinese roses in June, lotus in July, impatiens, gardenia, lotus in August (lotus seems so strong), add osmanthus, add osmanthus in September, add chrysanthemums, add chrysanthemums in October, and add hibiscus.
