Peonies should be planted during the fall 
season, anytime from the first of September 
until the ground freezes hard. Planting may 
be done in the very early spring but fall 
planting is preferable. The roots should be 
set 2 to 3 inches below the surface of the 
ground. Avoid the use of fresh manure, but 
feed the plants with bonemeal or prepared 
plant-foods. Figures following the variety 
name indicate the rating of the American 
Peony Society.
