************
Peonies should be grown in a full sun, well draining location. Plant peony roots in humus-rich soil and cover the roots with 1-2 inches of dirt; when planted too deep they won’t flower. A peony plant can live for 50 years or longer and requires little care. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid peonies.

A peony plant blooms for 7-10 days. Combine a few early-blooming, midseason, and late-blooming varieties to achieve up to 6 weeks of continuous bloom.
