PEONIES- -America’s Great Memorial Day Flower 
Festima Maxima Peony 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. The best grade of 
Peony roots for planting have from three to five eyes 
per root, and the roots should be planted so deep that 
the eyes are from 1 to 2 inches below the surface of 
the soil. Plant in good, rich garden soil. Peonies are 
spring bloomers, and if planted in the spring, even 
the best roots do not always bloom the first spring, 
that is a few weeks after planting. However, the 
roots will be well established the following year and 
bloom extra well then. 
Some agents and advertisers may tell you that their 
Peonies are sure to bloom the same spring when they 
are planted. The truth, however, is that even the very 
best roots are not sure to bloom the same spring 
they are planted. Many of our Peonies which are 
strong roots with three to six eyes each, bloom the 
first spring, but unless conditions are favorable some 
of them will not bloom until the next spring, and at 
that time they are nice large plants producing many 
flowers.
