  • Add grit to heavier soils where necessary.
  • Don't plant the roots too deep, the eyes of the Peony should be 3-5cm below the surface of the soil.
     

Planting Peonies in Pots/Containers

  • If planting in pots, you can plant Peonies at any time.
  • Plant Peonies with the eyes just 3-5cm below the surface of the soil.
  • If planting your Peonies in a pot, choose a pot at least 30cm (12") in diameter with adequate drainage holes at the base.
  • Use a soil based compost such as John Innes No3.
  • Peonies are fine planted in a pot for a few years but they may out grow their pot due to their large root system.

Care Instructions

How to Care for Peonies

  • Only water your peonies if they experience a really dry spell. They do not need much watering. 
  • For larger flower heads, de-bud the side shoots in April/May time with a sharp knife. However, if you prefer more flower heads than larger flower heads, then leave them be. 
  • Resist cutting the flowers the first couple of years to encourage better growth. 
  • Once everything has died back for the season, cut back and remove all old foliage to ground level to reduce the risk of infection from peony wilt disease.
  • Peonies are fully hardy so don't need any winter protection.
