& Maintenance Tips

Plant peony tubers in the fall, 1 to 2 inches deep, in garden beds well prepared with organic matter. They respond well to a yearly fertilization, including addition of bone meal. It is best to leave them undisturbed, dividing them infrequently. Botyritus can be a problem during humid spells. Peonies are one of the longest living herbaceous perrenials often found in older gardens, for once established they will survive neglect. One hundred year old peony plants are not uncommon.
