Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Santa Fe' peonies in fall, positioning the eyes (buds) just 1.5-2 inches below soil level in well-drained locations. They thrive in full sun to partial shade across USDA zones 3-8. While establishing, provide consistent moisture without waterlogging. Blooming in early to mid-season (typically May-June), these peonies require minimal care beyond occasional watering during dry periods and cutting back foliage in late fall after frost.
