Planting Peonies in the Garden

• If planting in the garden, plant up your bare root Peonies when the soil is warm, ideally in Spring.
• Plant in full sun or partially shaded areas.
• 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.

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.
