How to Grow and Care for Paeonia

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Partial shade is tolerated but may reduce flower production.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogged areas.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish roots; once established, peonies are relatively drought-tolerant.
  • Maintenance: Remove spent blooms to tidy the plant and cut back foliage in late fall. Peonies benefit from a light application of compost or balanced fertilizer in early spring.

Peonies combine stunning beauty, enduring reliability, and effortless care, making them a cornerstone of perennial gardens. Their opulent blooms pair perfectly with other perennials like roses, irises, and delphiniums, creating breathtaking displays. Whether you’re crafting a formal garden, a cottage-style border, or a fragrant cutting garden, Paeonia adds timeless grace and charm.
