Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Gardenia' peony bare roots in fall, positioning the crown 1-2 inches below soil surface in well-drained, fertile loam. Space plants 24-36 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation. This cultivar thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade, blooming in early to mid-season (late spring to early summer). After flowering, remove spent blooms and cut back foliage to ground level after frost for optimal performance in subsequent seasons.
