🌱 Peony – Herbaceous: Growing Guide

Herbaceous peonies such as Flame grow from tuberous roots and can reach 1 m tall. Full flowering is typically achieved after 2–3 years:

• Soil: Neutral to slightly acidic (approx. pH 7.0); mix in compost or blood & bone at planting
• Planting Depth & Spacing: Bury buds 3–5 cm deep; plant about 1 m apart
• Sun Exposure: Prefers full sun; tolerates part shade in warm climates
• Watering: Keep evenly moist during establishment; drought-tolerant later
• Feeding: Balanced fertiliser in early spring and again late autumn
• Winter Care: Plant in frost-exposed positions and avoid mulch to promote bloom
• Pruning: Cut stems back to around 10 cm before leaf drop to reduce disease
• Division: If needed, divide in winter dormancy; keep roots cool and moist
• Container Use: Can thrive in large pots with sufficient winter chill and rich soil
