Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the peony in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is at ground level. Fill in with soil, gently firming it around the roots, and water thoroughly.
2. Watering: Establish a consistent watering schedule, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, this peony is moderately drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
3. Pruning: In late fall, remove dead foliage and cut back stems foliage to about 3 inches above the ground to prevent disease and prepare for winter.
4. Fertilizing: A root supportive fertilizer like Espoma Biotone can be used at planting. In subsequent years, bulb fertilizers can be used after flowering or compost can be worked into soil to improve fertility and overall soil quality. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
