How to Plant Peonies
Peonies may be planted successfully during
autumn or early spring. The area to be planted
should usually have a liberal application of bone-
meal or superphosphate deeply spaded in, as prepa-
ration. Inasmuch as Peonies become quite large with
age, they should be spaced 3 or 4 feet apart. The
holes should be dug large enough and deep enough to
accommodate the roots to be planted. In setting
the plants, place the eyes (crown buds) 21% inches
below ground level. A handful of fertilizer mixed
with the soil before filling in is good practice. Allow
no manure of any kind to come in contact with
Peony roots. Never plant in a location where the
roots of large trees will rob Peonies of necessary
plant food and moisture.
Peony clumps may stand in the same place for
many years if grass-sod is not allowed to strangle
growth and if an occasional application of bonemeal
and potash is hoed in around the plants. Do not
mow Peony tops to the ground before late fall, and
leave at least half the foliage on the plant when tak-
ing cut flowers.
Our Peonies are grown for plants only, and the
roots sent out on orders will be from young, disease-
free blocks, assuring satisfaction to our customers.
Shipment will begin in early September, continuing
through the fall season.
