Planting and Care Instructions
Plant Alexander Fleming peonies in spring in fertile, well-drained soil with the eyes (buds) positioned approximately 2 inches below the soil surface. These adaptable plants thrive in full sun to partial shade locations. Blooming in late spring to early summer, they reach 28-36 inches in height with a similar spread. Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment, and consider staking to support the substantial blooms. Cut back foliage to ground level in late fall after it dies back.
