Member's Mark Peonies Bowl of Beauty & Margaret Truman Dormant Bulbs, 3pk

Long-Lasting Beauty

Peonies are perennial plants that promise to grace your garden for decades, and even generations. These plants are renowned for their outrageously beautiful blooms and lush, glossy, green foliage that lasts all summer long. As the seasons change, the leaves turn purplish or gold, adding a touch of autumnal charm to your outdoor space. Peony blooms come in a wide array of colors, textures, and shapes, making them a favorite among florists and garden enthusiasts alike.

Attract Wildlife

Not only do peonies add aesthetic appeal to your garden, but they also attract hummingbirds and butterflies, adding a lively touch to your outdoor space. Plus, these plants are deer resistant, ensuring that your beautiful blooms remain untouched and in full display for everyone to enjoy.

Planting and Care

Peonies thrive in porous soil that drains well but still retains enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water, consider adding organic soil amendments such as peat moss or ground bark. When planting, spread a 3-4" layer of soil amendment, add fertilizer, and incorporate together into the soil to a depth of 10".

Watering and Fertilizing

After planting your peony roots, water them thoroughly. While the plants are actively growing, water frequently and thoroughly to ensure the water reaches the roots. Mulching can help keep the soil cool and prevent it from drying out. For optimal growth and flowering, apply fertilizer before and after the flowering period.
