🌱 Tree Peony: Growing Guide

Tree peonies differ slightly from herbaceous types, with woody stems and winter feeding needs:

Soil & pH: Requires pH 6.5–7.0 (neutral to slightly alkaline); amend acidic soil with Ag lime or dolomite
Sunlight: Full sun to semi-shade; protect from harsh wind
Drainage: Essential—avoid waterlogging; mound-plant if needed
Feeding: Monthly in winter with low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus/potash fertiliser (plus ferrous sulphate)
Watering: Moderate during summer; light water in dry periods (first 2 years only)
Mulching: Light mulch around the base—do not bury crown
Pruning: Remove small buds year one to redirect energy into root development
Pot Culture: Possible—use quality mix and add dolomite or lime
