Care & maintenance

Peonies are incredibly long-lived and require little maintenance once established. Plant in well-draining soil with the 'eyes' (pink buds on the root) no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Deeper planting can inhibit flowering. Provide support for heavy blooms in windy areas or after heavy rain. Deadhead spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance, but leave foliage until it yellows in the fall to replenish energy for next year's blooms. Avoid mulching heavily directly over the crown.
