Care Guide

Average Pest and Disease Resistance

Peonies can be affected by Viruses, Honey Fungus, Peony Wilt, Swift Moth Larvae and Lead and Bud Eelworms.MORE

Water Often

Water several times a week during hot and dry periods to keep the ground evenly moist. During the non-summer months the rain should provide enough water for the plant, especially after it has established itself after its first year.MORE

Full Sun to Partial Shade

Plant somewhere the plant will receive 4-6 hours of sunlight every day in Spring and Summer. This variety cancope in areas of partial shade.MORE

Fertile, Well-Drained Soil

You will want to mix in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost into the soil before planting. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and easily becomes waterlogged, add some perlite or gravel into the soil to improve drainage.MORE

Not Required

Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!MORE

Prune Regularly

Deadhead the plant regularly to promote continuous blooms. In Autumn after the flowers have faded cut the flower back to near the base.MORE
