#ProPlantTips for Care:
While the Butter Bowl Peony's flowers appear fragile, this plant is anything but. This perennial is long-lived and tenacious. It will flower every summer year after year. Plant your Peony in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, ensuring good air circulation. If you live in hotter regions of the South, you may want to offer it a bit of shade. This deer-resistant Peony prefers medium or low moisture soil, and it achieves its best blooms after being established for two to three years. Plant with the eyes just below surface level with the woody roots spread out underneath. Once buried, water and mulch thoroughly.
