MICHELL’S GIANT-FLOWERING PEONIES 
Our Peonies are strong, 3- to 5-eye divisions. A pleasing combination is to use Daffodils and hardy Lilies among the 
Peony group, to give color in the border and garden in spring, summer and fall. 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANTING: The ground should be well prepared to a depth of 12 inches. Incorporate coarse 
bonemeal and avoid any animal manure near the roots. When planting lay the roots in their natural position with the 
eyes about 2 inches below the surface. Cover with salt hay after the ground is frozen.
