Peonies are renowned for stealing the show in the early summer garden. With huge, bowl-like, sometimes scented blooms, they are undeniably gorgeous. And, if looked after correctly, their dazzling display will return year after year, making them a good investment for a backyard.
The first step in growing peonies successfully is to choose somewhere suitable to plant them. Rather than picking a place at random, or simply filling a gap, you need to think about what they like and dislike. This will help them perform at their best without the need for constant coddling, and keep certain problems, such as root rot, at bay.
