Planting and Growing Information
Best Man peonies thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, adapting to a wide range of climates across the United States. Plant bare roots in fall, positioning the eyes (growth buds) no more than 2 inches below soil level in well-drained, fertile soil. While preferring full sun, these adaptable perennials tolerate partial shade. Blooming in late spring to early summer, they require minimal care beyond regular watering during establishment and occasional fertilization. Once established, they'll provide decades of reliable flowering performance.
