Sees is the best month in which to plant Pzonies, as they then 
make a root growth before Winter and bloom next Spring. They 
require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of water during 
the growing season. 
When enriching the ground the use of too much 
fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. The roots should be 
planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep 
planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering.
