Radha Krishna Agriculture Peony mix color Flower Bulbs| pack of 3 Bulbs Seed  (3 per packet)

Peonies are perennials that come back every year to take your breath away. In fact, the plants may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for at least 100 years. PLANTING WHEN TO PLANT PEONIES ★ Peony plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves. Note, however, that they do not respond well to transplanting, so you should plan your planting site accordingly. ★ Plant peonies in the fall: in late September and October in most and even later in the fall in Zones 7 and 8. ★ Peonies should be settled into place about six weeks before the ground freezes. ★ Although it’s certainly possible to plant peonies in the spring, spring-planted peonies just don’t do as well. CHOOSING AND PREPARING A PLANTING SITE Peonies like full sun, and though they can manage with half a day, they bloom best in a sunny spot that gets 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day. Provide shelter from strong winds, as peonies’ large blooms can make them top-heavy. (Use stakes to hold them up, if necessary.) Don’t plant too close to trees or shrubs, as peonies don’t like to compete for food, light, and moisture. HOW TO PLANT PEONIES Space peonies 3 to 4 feet apart to allow for good air circulation between the plants. Dig a generous-sized hole, about 2 feet deep and 2 feet across in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. If the soil is heavy or very sandy, enrich it with extra compost. Incorporate about one cup of bonemeal into the soil. Set the root so the eyes face upward on top of a mound of soil in the hole, placing the roots just 2 inches below the soil surface. Then, backfill the hole, taking care that the soil doesn’t settle and bury the root deeper than 2 inches. When planting a container-grown peony, cover it no deeper than it grew in the pot. Water thoroughly at the time of planting.
