🌱 Peony – Herbaceous: Growing Guide

Herbaceous peonies like Coral Charm grow from tuberous roots, reaching around 1 m tall. They typically take 2–3 years to fully establish and flower reliably. Ideal for cool-climate zones:

• Soil: Neutral to slightly acidic (pH ~7.0); enrich soil with compost or blood & bone at planting
• Depth & Spacing: Plant buds no deeper than 5 cm underground; allow ~1 m between plants
• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with some afternoon shade in warmer areas
• Feeding: Use a general-purpose fertilizer in spring & late autumn
• Watering: Keep soil moist in summer; avoid drought stress, though not waterwise
• Winter Care: Plant in cold-exposed, unmulched areas; winter chill is essential
• Pruning: Cut stems to ~10 cm in autumn before leaves fall to reduce disease risk
• Division: Only lift and divide in winter when required; keep roots moist after lifting
• Container Growing: Possible with deep pots, winter chill, and rich feeding
