Growing 30 to 36 inches tall and equally as wide, the Bowl of Beauty Peony is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or groupings in sunny perennial borders, around patios and other outdoor living spaces, or along paths and walkways. It is a fine addition to cut flower gardens, antique gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  30 inches apart for mass plantings; 48 inches or more apart for space between plants 

Peonies are very easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil of average fertility in full sun or part shade. In Zone 8, peonies would prefer a break from the hot, direct sun during the mid-afternoon hours. Provide at least 5 hours of direct sun for best flowering at any location. As with many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with organic matter to improve drainage. Because peonies grow deep roots, they are generally drought-tolerant and carefree when established. Some folks like to remove the spent flower stems to encourage the development of the small side blooms, which extends the bloom period. After the plant is finished blooming for the season, spent flower stems can be removed, though this is not necessary.
