An ancient legend that has come to this day, reads:
Many years ago, at Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of healing, he became a young boy named Bojur. Because of his great abilities, he was appointed to heal the gods of Olympus.
One day Bozhur had to cure the grim Pluto, wounded in a heavy battle with Heracles, in an attempt to protect the gates of the Kingdom of the Dead. The young healer used everything from himself, although his patient was the Lord of Death and the master of the underworld. And, oh, a miracle! The wound was cured. Asclepius realized that his disciple had surpassed him. Envy and malice overwhelmed his soul and he decided to poison Bozhur with snake poison. The talk about Asclepius's intentions reached Pluto's ears. He returned to Olympus, gathered his brothers and sisters, and revealed the intentions of the jealousy. Bozhur was saved, but in order not to get there again, the gods decided to incarnate the soul of the young healer in a flower. This gave birth to the beautiful and healing, happy young and old, flower peony.
How to grow peony? Peonies reach a height of 50-100 cm. Tree-shaped - and two-meter shrubs. The last years are increasingly being imported and offered for sale wood-peony peonies. The varieties are thousands. They love mostly east-north without strong sunshine. They bloom from late spring to early summer. Woody blooms later. The colors of the tree are large, often double or full, with all possible colors - white, cream, yellow, orange, different shades of pink, purple and red, even violet.
Peonies are planted deep in a fertile, humus-rich soil that does not have to dry too fast in the summer. They love enriched soils, with the addition of well rotten manure or garden finger. It is useful to add such a fertilizer around the plant at the beginning of each new season. So its roots get extra moisture. There must be at least a distance of 60-90 cm between the plants.

Watering.  The jeweler wants a moderate watering so the soil does not dry out.

Light. Peony is a sunny flower, so it is desirable to choose a bright and cozy place to grow. He also suffers a partial shadow, but for a short time. Otherwise it stops giving color.

Planting and propagation. If you decide to plant a peony, you should be careful with the depth of planting. It turns out that this is a very delicate condition because it depends on whether the flower will enjoy you with kiky colors. If you plant a peony very deeply, there is a danger that it will pay you only with leaves. In case you place the roots too shallow, they remain unprotected and can easily be hurt or frozen. It is recommended that the reproduction be carried out in autumn. It happens through seeds or by pulling roots of the growing plant with buds.
