Will I get flowers from the first year?

In the first year, you may already see a single flower, but this is not always the case. A peony always needs some time to get used to a new spot. Because we only sell peonies of the best quality, many of our customers do see a flower in the first year.

Can I plant a peony in a pot?

We do not recommend planting a peony in a pot. Peonies need space for their roots to spread, so they are best planted directly in the ground. It is always more difficult to get a peony to bloom in a pot. In a very large container, it often works, but if you have the option, planting it directly in the ground is truly the best choice.

How many flowers come from a root tuber?

The short answer: a lot! From the root tuber, the peony grows into a large perennial in a shrub-like form. In the first year, you won't have many stems and, with luck, one or a few flowers, because the plant still needs to get used to its new location. But the peony gets bigger every year and produces more and more flowers. From about 4 years old, the peony is in its mature state and then produces an abundance of flowers.

How much space should I leave for my peony?

A root tuber grows into a substantial plant within 2 to 3 years. Allocate a space of 0.8 m2 to 1 m2.

Is a peony winter hardy?

Yes, absolutely, a peony is very winter hardy and can tolerate frost well. In fact, a peony really needs a cold period to fully rest during the winter.
