Peony Questions? Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. Set the plants into the ground at the same depth they were growing in the pot. If planted too deeply peonies may not bloom. The "eyes" (where new growth emerges) should be no deeper than 2 inches under the soil. Peonies have a tendency to topple after a
heavy storm so use a peony ring to stake your plants early in the season. Remove faded flowers as they appear to keep the plant looking tidy and clip away dead foliage after the first freeze blackens the leaves. Peony is not recommended for human or animal consumption.
