Perrenials
Paeonia: maintenance tips
A long-lasting perennial with large, fragrant flowers in shades of pink, red and white. Can be cut to make bouquets.


Common name: Peony
Exposure
For an abundant bloom, plant in full sun. Tolerates light shade.
Watering
Water new plantings regularly for the first year. Once roots are well established, water in case of heat or drought.
Planting
Plant deep into compost-rich soil. Choose the right location, as peonies don't like to be transplanted.
Fertilization
In spring, add compost to the soil and fertilize with a granular flower fertilizer.
