Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Kansas' peonies in rich, well-drained soil with the eyes (buds) positioned 1.5-2 inches below the soil surface. They thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, particularly in warmer regions. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, these peonies bloom in late spring to early summer. After the first frost, cut foliage back to ground level. With minimal care, these long-lived perennials will provide decades of stunning blooms, returning more robust each year.
