Plant Peonies in good soil, in full sun if possible, and 
away from trees, buildings, etc. Do not plant where a 
peony has been before, unless all old soil is taken out and 
replaced with fresh. Plant 3 to 4 feet apart; set so that 
the eyes point upward and are 2 to 3 inches below the top 
of ground (very important). Give each root 2 quarts of 
water when planted, and then make a 6 inch mound of 
dirt above ground level to prevent heaving, scrape mound 
away late next spring. 
Important. Open your package of roots immediately 
when they arrive. Plant as soon as possible but if you 
have to wait a few days, either keep moist in open box 
in cool cellar, or better yet, bury in garden.
