About Peonies
Soil Preparation
Healthy soil should have good tilth, nutrient content,
and a viable population of beneficial microorganisms.
We recommend using natural and organic ingredients
to prepare the soil and maintain soil fertility. It is always
a good idea to have a soil test to identify your soil type
(sandy, loam, silt, clay) and find out your soil pH.

Plant peonies in the spring after the ground has thawed and
there is no longer danger of frost.
Choose a location with well-drained soil that receives full sun.
Loosen soil prior to planting.
Dig a hole in loosened soil as deep as the roots and about
twice as wide. Be sure it is large enough to encompass the
roots without bending them. Place in hole with the roots
down and the crown/top of the roots about 1” below soil
surface. Keep any sprouting above the soil surface.
Cover with soil and water well so that the soil above the
bulbs settles. Keep soil moist during periods of dry weather
but do not overwater.

NOTE: It is important to store correctly until planting. Store in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation. Plant in spring
as soon as ground has thawed and soil has warmed to 50°F and is workable. Usually 4-6 weeks after the last frost.
