Due to its size, Edens Perfume looks great in the background of flower beds, with lilies and rose bushes planted in the foreground. But planting a peony in a flowerpot is problematic. It is difficult to imagine what size the pot should be in order to accommodate a three-year-old plant (and it blooms exactly for 3 years), especially to place it on the balcony.
Methods of reproduction
There are several ways to propagate herbaceous peony Aroma of Eden (Edens Perfume):
- in order to preserve all the characteristics of the variety, the herbaceous perennial is propagated by seeds. This method is used by breeders;
- dividing the bush. The method is applicable when the bush has formed at least seven true shoots. Terms of the procedure: end of August – beginning of September. The shoots are cut, leaving 15 cm stumps. The rhizome is dug up with a large clod of earth, washed with a strong stream of water, and dried. Cut with a sharp knife into pieces with several growth points and young roots. All sections are treated with ash, fungicide, growth stimulant, then planted;
- propagation by root cuttings. In July, cuttings (shoots) are separated from the bush, shortening them to two leaves. Each cutting should have a root neatly separated from the mother liquor with a dormant bud. They are planted for rooting on a separate bed, which is covered with mulch for the winter. Further, the seedlings are looked after as usual for peonies. Flowering occurs at 5 years.
The most effective way to propagate peonies, allowing you to get early flowering, is to divide the bush. In this form, planting material will take root faster.
The rhizome of the peony, washed from the soil, is carefully cut into several parts.
Rules of landing
Before planting the Edens Perfume variety, it is important to choose a place. The best for growth are well-lit areas, with moisture-permeable, loose, nutritious soil. It is worth choosing loose fertile loams with a soil reaction of 6 to 6,5 PH.

The transplant is carried out after the peony Edens Perfume has completely faded, and the fruit boxes have ripened. Landing rules:
- When marking the site, the further dimensions of the bush should be taken into account, so leave a distance between the pits of at least 1 meter.
- A hole is dug depending on the size of the planting material. They should be somewhat larger than the rhizome.
- Leaf humus, compost are poured at the bottom of the hole, a tubercle is made of sand from above.
- A seedling is carefully placed on a sand cushion, so that the buds after shrinkage are deepened into the ground by 5 cm.
- They fall asleep with the soil removed from the hole by hand, carefully tamping between the roots with their fingers so that there are no voids left.
- The peony is watered, if necessary, top up the ground. To protect the plant from the first frosts, the surface of the hole is thickly mulched.

Aftercare
The main procedures are: watering, loosening, weeding, fertilizing, mulching.
Watering is carried out rarely, but with plenty of water. Water Edens Perfume as the earthen clod dries up so that all the earth around the roots is saturated. During the season, the bush is supplied with water several times: in the spring, when the buds open and shoots appear, in the summer, during flowering. The last time the peony is watered in the fall, when growth buds are laid.
Of particular importance for the cultivation of a new variety is weeding and loosening. Weeding is carried out as weeds appear, but loosening is carried out only after watering in order to eliminate excess moisture. Loosening is undesirable in autumn and spring, so as not to damage the kidneys.
Around the peony, weeds must be removed and the soil loosened
Varietal peonies are not demanding on organics, but they should be pampered with minerals. Fertilizers are applied three times per season:
- At the time of the appearance of the first shoots, the peony needs a lot of nitrogen. Add ammonium nitrate.
- When budding occurs, the plant is fed with a full range of minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- When laying buds for the winter, potassium sulfate and superphosphate are closed under the peony.
Organic fertilizers, in the form of rotted leaf humus or compost, are applied during the spring awakening of the peony.
Preparation for winter
Dried shoots are cut off in autumn. But before that, they are examined for the presence of diseases and pests. If any, the tops are burned. When dry twigs are clean, they are used for shelter.
Fallen leaves are removed from the trunk circle, which can serve as a shelter for unwanted insects, pathogenic microbes. From above they fall asleep with peat, cover with spruce forest.
Pests and diseases
The peony variety Edens Perfume is bred by breeders with high disease resistance, but gray rot can still attack. It appears in case of improper care of the plant: acidification, soil compaction, stagnant water.
Rust or mottling may also occur. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases, preventive measures are carried out in a timely manner. In the spring, the bushes are treated with copper sulfate and Bordeaux mixture. With a strong infection of the bush, they turn to industrial fungicides for help.
As a result of high humidity, brown spotting occurs on the plant.
Less commonly, pests such as aphids, mites, and thrips can be found on the plant. Timely treatment with insecticides will save the buds and foliage of the peony bush.
