HOW TO PLANT PEONIES 
Peonies are heavy feeders and should be planted in soil which has 
been thoroughly prepared by deep spading and the addition of well 
rotted manure or good commercial fertilizer. 
Peonies should be planted with eyes NOT MORE THAN TWO INCH- 
ES below surface of the soil. 
Most of the trouble that gardeners experience in not having their 
peonies bloom comes from planting too deep. 
Have holes generously large to accomodate the roots. Sift in finely 
pulverized soil around roots until nearly covered, and then fill hole 
with water and allow to settle. This eliminates any air pockets. Fill 
in balance of earth to proper depth and pack firmly. 
Peonies planted in this manner will seldom fail to grow and bloom 
the following year. 
Well ‘rotted manure applied as a mulch in late fall and then worked 
into the soil the following spring will help promote luxuriant growth 
and blooms.
