They have no natural enemies, no growing requirements beyond full sun & neutral to slightly sweet soil, & they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Planting Instructions: Sow peony seeds indoors in late winter. Use peat pots & starter mix. Sow the flower seeds on the surface & press the seeds into the soil. These particular type of seeds need light to germinate. Keep flower seeds moist until germination. Another option, & often preferred by many gardeners, is to direct sow the seeds outdoors. The flower seed can be sown in the late fall, late winter, or early spring. Prepare the soil by loosening the top several inches, spread the flower seeds & lightly rake. Firm the soil by walking lightly over the area. Thin the small seedlings to 15 - 18 inches apart. Peony plants perform best in areas where summers are cool or dry. They are not a good choice for humid regions.
