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.
Peonies will grow in most soils as long as they are not wet, including clay soils. They require a sunny or partially shaded site. Herbaceous peonies need to be planted with the eye (the dormant pink buds) no more than 2.5cm below the surface of the soil. Do not mix manure in the soil before planting as this may rot the eyes.
