Whether you're looking to send peonies as a gift or to decorate your own home, we've got you covered.

How to Plant Peonies?

  • Peonies prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
  • Peonies prefer slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Amend the soil with lime if necessary and add compost or aged manure to improve drainage and fertility.
  • Dig a hole that is twice as wide and deep as the peony root. Place the root in the hole with the eyes facing upwards and cover with soil.

How to Grow Peonies?

  • Peonies require regular watering to establish their roots. Water deeply once a week, or more frequently during dry spells.
  • Peonies benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied in the spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth and fewer blooms.
  • Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the peony plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
How to Care for Peonies?
  • Peonies produce heavy blooms that can cause the stems to droop. Use stakes or supports to keep the stems upright.
  • Remove spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming season.
  • Cut back the foliage in the fall to prevent fungal infections and to prepare the plant for winter.

How to Water Peonies?

  • Peonies prefer deep, infrequent watering rather than frequent shallow watering. Water once a week, or more frequently during dry spells.
  • Peonies are susceptible to fungal infections, so avoid overhead watering that can splash water onto the foliage.

How to Prune Peonies?

  • Cut back the foliage in the fall to prevent fungal infections and to prepare the plant for winter.
  • Remove spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming season.
