🌱 Peony – Herbaceous: Growing Guide
Herbaceous peonies grow from underground tubers and mature to about 1 m tall, establishing reliable blooms after 2–3 years:
• Soil: Neutral to slightly acidic (pH ~7.0); enrich with compost or blood & bone
• Planting Depth: Buds approx. 3–5 cm below soil; spacing ~1 m apart
• Sunlight: Best in full sun, tolerates part shade
• Feeding: Apply balanced fertiliser in early spring and late autumn
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist—does not tolerate drought
• Winter Care: Needs cold exposure; avoid winter mulch to stimulate bloom
• Pruning: Cut stems to 10 cm before leaf drop to reduce fungal issues
• Division: Divide only during winter dormancy, and keep roots cool and moist
• Container Growing: Possible in deep pots with adequate chill and rich nutrients
