Paeonia Mixed Varieties Peony

Plant Paeonia Mixed Varieties Peony bulbs in fall before the first frost, and by spring, enjoy a gorgeous display of peony blooms in an array of captivating forms and colors. Each pack features its own unique mix, ensuring a delightful surprise every season. These peonies grow 24 to 30 inches tall on strong stems, making them ideal for cutting and creating elegant spring bouquets. In the garden, their lush, glossy green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop, turning purplish or golden in autumn, and the flowers attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.

These Paeonia varieties, commonly known as peonies, are long-lived bulbous perennials with a clumping habit, often thriving for decades, if not generations. As classic cottage garden plants, peonies are truly spectacular when massed in borders or mixed beds, but they also serve as lovely specimen or container plants.

Plant this mix of peony bulbs 12 to 14 inches apart and 1½ to 2 inches deep in a sunny to partially shady spot with humus-rich, medium moist, well-draining soil, away from trees or shrubs to avoid competition for nutrients. Peonies do not like to be transplanted, so choose their location carefully. Once the plants begin to grow, feed them with Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food to promote healthy blooms. Vigorous and low maintenance, these peonies thrive in Zones 2-8, where cold winters help with bud formation. Peonies are also deer and rabbit resistant.
