Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for your Sweet Treat™ Peony. Dig a hole about 1-2 feet wide and deep, mixing in compost to enrich the soil. Space plants about 2-3 feet apart to allow for their mature size. Plant at the same depth as they were in the pot, ensuring the eyes (buds) are just beneath the soil surface.
2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Establish a consistent watering routine, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. Avoid overhead watering to help prevent fungal diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant.
3. Pruning: In late fall or early spring, cut back your peony to about 3-4 inches above the ground. Remove any dead foliage or spent blooms to encourage healthy growth. This practice also helps to keep the plant tidy and disease-free.
4. Fertilizing: A root supportive fertilizer like Espoma Biotone can be used at planting. In subsequent years, bulb fertilizers can be used after flowering or compost can be worked into soil to improve fertility and overall soil quality. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
