How to Plant & Care for Bareroot Peonies

Planting bareroot Peonies correctly will reward you with decades of glorious blooms:

• Plant in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) for best flowering
• Prepare well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter
• Plant shallowly – cover the eyes (buds) with only 1–2 inches of soil
• Water deeply after planting, then moderately until plants establish
• Use the Finger Test to check soil moisture during dry spells
• Apply a 3–4 inch layer of arborist mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds
• Avoid heavy fertilizing. Peonies thrive on modest care
• Deadhead after flowers fade. Cut back dead stems in late fall after frost

Peonies may take a season or two to hit full stride, but once they do, the blooms are unforgettable.
