Tree Peony Culture: Tree peonies are slow growing, dwarf woody shrubs. Their branches do not die down in fall so should not be pruned. Otherwise they are the same culture as garden peonies. Given time they will develop into spectacular specimens 4-5 tall producing 50-100 blooms each. Note: When planting the graft should be set at least a few inches deeper. Unlike some grafted plants it will not hurt if the top grafted plant grows its own roots. Remove any shoots from below the graft.

Peonies
Garden Peony Culture: Garden peonies are hardy, long lived perennials requiring little more than sun and well-drained soil.
A little afternoon shade and watering during dry periods may help keep the foliage looking nicer later into the year. When
planting make sure that the eyes are situated 1.5-2 below the soil. More or less may result in delayed blooming for a few
years. It is also recommended not to cut back the foliage earlier than October in our area no matter how bad the foliage may
look as the leaves are still making food for next years bloom. The old foliage should be burned or removed from the area if
mildew was a problem. Concerning feeding, peonies resent elemental nitrogen around their roots, so it is recommended only
to fertilize in early spring to help with the initial growth flush with an organic fertilizer applied at half the recommended strength.
