PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
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. 
Plant Peonies in good, well drained 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. 
In northern states, a mulch the first winter is advisable. 
Fall is the natural planting time for Peonies. (After 
September lst and before November 1st if possible).
