Peony is a deciduos herbaceous plant of the family Plantaginaceae, native to central and western Asia. Most species of the genus Peony are herbaceous perennial plants that die back in winter. They have large foliage and showy flowers, in colours ranging from yellow through pink to red, often with magenta or dark red streaking. Peony species and cultivars are used as ornamental plants, especially in gardens. Some species are farmed for their rhizome or roots, which can be harvested and prepared as herbal medicine.
Peony Flower And Ants
The peony is a beautiful flower that is used in many different cultures. In China, it symbolizes wealth and honor. In Japan, it represents a peaceful death. It also has many nicknames such as the “Queen of Flowers” or the “Flower of Spring.”
The peony has a long history in China and Japan. The Chinese believed that if you kept a peony in your home it would bring good fortune and prosperity. They also believed that if you planted one outside your house it would protect against evil spirits.
In Japan, peonies are associated with the samurai class because they were often used to decorate their armor with symbols of strength and courage. Peonies were also used for funerals because they were thought to represent peace after death.
Peony buds secrete a sap that is rich in carbohydrates, and the ants feed on this substance. The relationship between ants and peonies is so long-standing that it was long believed that the ants were somehow necessary for the peony flowers to open. However, this belief is untrue, so there is no harm in trying to keep ants off peony bushes in your garden or cut peonies in your home.
Method1 Keeping Ants Away from Peony Bushes
Spray peonies with water for an immediate solution. To temporarily get rid of the appearance of an ant infestation, spray the peony bushes with a strong stream of water. This will kill the ants on the bushes, but won’t permanently stop more ants from getting on your peonies.
Spray the peonies with insecticide for a more long-lasting solution. Find an insecticidal soap spray, and make sure the manufacturer specifically states that the product is effective against ants. Apply the insecticide according to the manufacturer’s directions, usually 2-3 times a week for 2 weeks.
- This method will not generally be acceptable if you are committed to gardening organically or do not want to harm the beneficial insects that aid the plants in pollination.
