Peony plants require well-draining, neutral soil and should be planted in the appropriate conditions to ensure their growth and longevity. They grow to cover an area about 3 feet in diameter and stand 3 feet tall, so it’s important to give them plenty of room and avoid crowding them. Once planted, it takes about three years for an abundant show of flowers. To ensure a healthy peony, provide excellent drainage, water regularly every 7-10 days, and ensure the soil is evenly moist by watering every other day or more often if a late-season heat wave strikes.
Peonies prefer full sun, at least 6 hours per day, and should be watered deeply once a week or when the top inch of the soil feels dry. They can be divided in the autumn, removing the foliage and lifting the clump with as many roots intact as possible with a spade. Peonies are suitable for neutral or slightly alkaline soils, and should be planted in late September and October in most of the U.S., and even later in the fall in Zones 7 and 8.
