Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant peonies in autumn or early spring in fertile, well-drained soil. Position the crown just below the soil surface, as planting too deeply may reduce flowering. Choose a sunny sheltered site and avoid moving plants once established.

Care tips

Support heavy blooms with discreet plant supports if needed. Water during prolonged dry spells in spring and deadhead faded flowers to maintain a tidy appearance. Avoid excessive feeding once established.

Winter care

Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn before cutting stems down to ground level. Apply a light mulch around the crown in late autumn, keeping it clear of the plant itself to prevent rot.
