Care Notes:
Peonies thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant with the eyes (buds) no more than 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Provide support as needed during bloom. Remove spent flowers and cut foliage to the ground in the fall. These long-lived perennials often take 2–3 years to fully mature, but the wait is well worth it.
