我国牡丹最大产地在山东菏泽和河南洛阳,这里地处暖温带,年降水量在800毫米左右,属半湿润地区。而南方地处亚热带和热带,年降水量在800～2000毫米,属湿润地区。两地气候差异较大,这就给南方盆栽牡丹带来许多不利因素,其中最突出的是:夏季高温多雨,易造成盆内积水,引起肉质根腐烂;冬季气温偏高,牡丹无法进入休眠状态,已形成的花芽也因缺乏低温锻炼,翌年不能正常开花。笔者从上世纪80年代开始,先后从菏泽引进了80多个不同的牡丹品种进行盆栽试验。通过较长时间的实践,成活率达100%,成花率90%以上,有的年内还多次开花。品种选择实践证明,茎节短、植株矮小、色形兼优、极易成花的品种最适合南方 Peony in China’s largest producer of Heze in Shandong and Henan Luoyang, where is located in the warm temperate zone, annual precipitation at about 800 mm, is a semi-humid areas. The south is located in the subtropical and tropical, annual precipitation 800 ~ 2000 mm, is a humid area. The climate difference between the two places is large, which brings many unfavorable factors to the south potted peony. Among them, the most prominent are: hot and rainy summer, easy to cause basin water, causing fleshy root rot; winter high temperature, peony can not enter dormancy State, flower buds have been formed because of the lack of low temperature exercise, the following year can not be normal flowering. The author from the 80s of last century, has introduced from Heze more than 80 different varieties of peony pot experiment. Through a longer period of practice, the survival rate of 100%, flowering rate of 90% or more, and some bloom many times during the year. Variety selection Practice has proved that the short stems, short plants, color and excellent, easy to flower varieties most suitable for the South
