#ProPlantTips For Care
Even though these flowers look like they require extensive fuss and muss, they're actually very easy to grow and low-maintenance! Plant Peony in full sun and the dazzling white flowers gleam and sparkle in the light.
Requiring well-drained soil, with low to medium moisture, Peony is not particular on the type of soil, so long as has good drainage. Planting Peonies in soggy soils will cause rotting issues, so always provide good drainage or install a raised bed or berm.
Extremely cold-hardy to growing zones 3 and up, Bowl Of Beauty is a tried and true, reliable plant with long-bred hardiness. Reaching a compact 3-foot tall and nearly as wide each year, these herbaceous perennials die back to the ground each winter.
Care is simple! Deadheading the spent blooms so the foliage remains a handsome attribute to the garden for the rest of the season, and after frost when the foliage goes dormant, cut all stems and remove all of the season's growth right down to the ground and discard the debris not letting fungal issues or powdery mildew overwinter with the plant.
Rabbits and deer will leave your Peony alone. However, your pollinators and neighbors won't be able to resist the allure of the Bowl of Beauty!
Planting Bareroot Peony
Bareroot Peonies are shipped as nice 3-5 eye root sections. Their woody roots are not uniform, it is normal for each root to look slightly different.
Plant with the eyes just below ground level, with the woody roots spreading out beneath. Once buried, water well and mulch thoroughly to hold in moisture and keep the roots cool in the summer heat. The proper planting time for your Peony is late autumn or early spring.
