Planting Instructions (bareroot peonies):
-
Plant in fall for best establishment, or early spring before growth begins.
-
Choose a sunny location with rich, well-draining soil.
-
Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots comfortably.
-
Position the tuber so the “eyes” (buds) are no more than 1–2 inches below the soil surface; planting too deep can reduce blooming.
-
Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
-
Apply a light mulch to help retain moisture, keeping it away from the crown.
-
Peonies may take a year or two to reach full blooming potential after planting.
-
Peonies are a timeless favorite, offering spectacular blooms, fragrant beauty, and unmatched longevity—perfect for gardeners who want reliable, long-lasting color and elegance in their landscapes.
