Top Tips

Be careful not to overwater newly planted Peonies, especially those that have been planted into decorative pots rather than the ground. They are best kept slightly on the dry side!

Care Guide

• Despite the myths that surround them, peonies are easy to grow.
• They need plenty of water as long as they don’t get waterlogged, so plant your peonies in soil that drains well. Clay is fine as long as it doesn’t stay wet.
• Peonies flower at their best in full sun, but they will tolerate light shade.
• Feed with a general fertiliser in spring, but avoid over-feeding with high nitrogen fertilisers.
• To conserve moisture and suppress weeds, mulch around the crown with 5-7.5cm (2-3in) organic matter. Avoid covering the crown itself.
• The flower stems may not be strong enough to keep the often-heavy flamboyant flowers upright and staking is often required.
• It is generally best to cut the foliage to ground level as it dies back in the autumn to reduce risk of peony wilt.
• Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the autumn.
