FAQs
When is the best time to plant peony bare roots?
The best time to plant is in the Autumn or early Spring while the plant is dormant.
How deep should I plant the eyes?
The eyes (buds) should be planted just 2-3cm below the soil level.
Do peonies need a lot of maintenance?
Once established, peonies are remarkably easy to care for and require very little intervention.
Can I move my peonies later?

The pack includes a mix from five distinct varieties, ensuring a display of white, pink, red, and coral flowers.
Are these peonies hardy in the UK?
Yes, they are fully hardy and suitable for planting throughout the UK.
Troubleshooting
The plant has lush foliage but produces no flowers.
This is likely caused by the plant being set too deep. Ensure the buds are only 2-3cm below the soil surface.
Plants are wilting shortly after planting.
Ensure they receive thorough watering during the initial establishment phase, especially if the soil is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your bare roots in Autumn or early Spring. Choose a location with fertile, well-drained soil that receives plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots without cramping. Crucially, position the 'eyes' or buds just 2-3cm below the soil surface; planting too deep is the most common reason for a lack of blooms. Space each plant 60-90cm apart to accommodate mature growth. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil. In the following Springs, apply a light layer of mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Avoid moving the plants once they have settled, as they do not tolerate root disturbance well.
