Description
- Planting InstructionsDig a planting hole 30 cm wide and deep, incorporating some garden compost and fertilizer. Plant this grafted bareroot tree peonies deeply. The graft union should be 8 to 10 cm below the soil. This will encourage the tree peony to make fresh roots and basal shoots. Do not overwater newly planted tree peonies. This is the biggest cause of failure.
- Light RequirementsFull Sun, Partial Shade
- Soil RequirementsWell-drained, humus enriched.
- Will TolerateAcidic Soil, Clay Soil, Loamy Soil, Sandy Soil
- Watering RequirementsDo not let the soil dry out. Average water needs. Water regularly, do not overwater.
- Fertilization RequirementsOnce or twice a year. Best in spring and summer.
- PruningTree peonies require no or minimal pruning. If needed cut back just above new growth in summer or in fall. Removal of the oldest stems down to the base in the fall after leaf-fall encourages bushier growth, but this is normally not necessary the first 7-10 years.
- Winter CareNone, except to mulch the first winter. Remove in early spring before growth starts.
