Plant care

Peonies can thrive in most soil types, including clay, provided the soil is well-drained and not waterlogged. They prefer a location with full sun or partial shade. When planting herbaceous peonies, ensure the eyes (the dormant pink buds) are positioned no deeper than 2.5cm below the soil surface. Avoid incorporating manure into the soil before planting, as it can cause the eyes to rot.
