Container-grown peonies thrive in rich, well-amended soils and can be grown in pots. To ensure optimal growth conditions, it is essential to select the right variety, provide optimal growing conditions, fertilize, and provide at least six hours of sunlight daily. This leads to more photosynthesis, which in turn provides more energy for the peonies to grow and bloom.
Gardening experts provide a season-by-season care chart, tips on creating beautiful blooms, and avoid common problems. Peonies need light and need at least six hours of sunlight a day, so it is recommended to place them in evenly moist soil. Peonies in pots dry out faster than ground-planted peonies, so it is crucial to check the soil’s drainage.
Potted peonies can be potted up in the fall or early winter and transplanted in the spring. They should be protected from severe freezing/thawing and overwintered each year. The right location with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day, good drainage, and plenty of room is essential for successful growth.
Ensure that the soil and container allow for free draining as peonies don’t like having wet feet. Plant the crown no more than 2.5-5cm below the soil, and make a mixture of 1 part soil, 1 part peat moss, and 1 part composted cow manure for use in the planting hole. A scoop of bonemeal and superphosphate can also help.
