• As mentioned earlier, peonies are often sold as bare-root plants and usually have about three to five buds.
• When planting your peonies, you should space them at least three to four feet apart. This will help enhance proper air circulation between your plants. Remember, peonies tend to bloom. If there is no air circulation, they may get choked or breed diseases.
• To plant, dig a hole size of about two feet deep and two feet wide in well-drained soil under a sunny spot.
• Set the root of your peony in the soil with its eyes facing upwards towards the sun. Do not plant too deep — one inch deep is good enough. Once that is done, remember to provide a shade.
