Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and amend the soil with organic matter. Place the peony in the hole, ensuring the crown is at soil level, then backfill and water thoroughly.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first growing season. Once established, water deeply every week or during dry spells to maintain healthy foliage and blooms.
3. Pruning: After blooming, deadhead spent flowers to encourage further growth and prevent seed formation. In the fall, cut back the foliage to about 4-6 inches above ground level to promote healthy growth the following spring and reduce disease risks.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. Avoid over-fertilizing, as peonies prefer slightly leaner soils for optimal blooming.
