Where to find Peony Rings? We recommend Gardeners Supply. Of course, the foliage quickly hides the ring, and you have a beautifully-supported clump well before the flowers open. With upright supports, the peony ring is placed so the shoots will grow up through the round wire bale. The rings are simply wheel-like wire arrangements that stand up over the peony like a little wire table as the plant sprouts in the spring. So once you have a healthy clump, use peony rings to keep them upright. You don't have to stake them, but if you don't, you're going to have big beautiful flowers nodding down. Itoh and tree peonies don't require staking, but most herbaceous peony once established, produce heavy flowers that often are too heavy for its stems.

By the fourth or fifth year peonies will be full and bushy, with lots of foliage and blossoms. Year two brings a plant double the size and double the blossoms. The first year of growing peonies, expect the roots to products 2-5 leave shoots and 1-2 flowers. Tree peonies need water to generate root growth, but if over watered, they will rot. Water when needed, the best practice is when the soil has dried out and or it hasn't rained.
If you are planting more than one, plant 2-3 feet apart to allow enough space. This is the time to add any compost in the bottom of the hole. Dig a hole the length of the roots roughly 2 feet deep and dig it wide enough to accommodate the roots with some room to grow, roughly 1 foot wide.Tree peonies thrive if left to grow undisturbed in the same location for years. Choose a site with well-drained soil away from any competing roots.Planting tree peonies is different than herbaceous and intersectional itoh peonies. Be sure not to over water, as the roots will rot. Water every day for 5 days in the morning or evening, unless it rains or there is lots of moisture. Add a light mulch or chopped leaves to reduce weeds and to regulate soil temperature and moisture. Slowly back-fill around the roots, not allowing any air pockets, adding pressure to compact the soil.Visit our planting guide for a detailed description If planted too deep, the peony will lack blossoms. Plant the roots 1" to 2" below the soil level with the eyes (buds) pointing up.
Dig a hole 12" wide and the length of the roots.
Peonies thrive if left to grow undisturbed in the same location for years. Planting Steps for Herbaceous and Intersectional (Itoh) Peonies Peonies prefer soil that provide moisture, but isn’t water logged. Plant in average or well-draining loamy soil. In warmer regions or where spring is hot and dry, choose a site with afternoon shade. In colder regions, planting peonies in shade will result in weak stems and less flowers.
