Care & maintenance

Peonies are incredibly long-lived and require minimal care once established. Provide consistent moisture during their first year. Deadhead spent blooms to maintain a tidy appearance, though this isn't strictly necessary for plant health. In late autumn, cut back foliage after it yellows. Avoid planting too deeply, as this can inhibit flowering.
