The best time for planting peonies is early August.
No, peonies are not considered long day plants. They do not require specific day lengths to flower and are typically classified as neutral day plants. Peonies generally bloom based on temperature cues rather than day length.
Peonies are typically planted from a bare root division rather than a bulb or seed. This is because growing peonies from seed can take several years to produce a blooming plant, while dividing a mature peony root will result in a faster and more reliable way to establish new plants.
Peonies are perennials. Single plants have been known to live over 100 years old.
Peonies need a period of cold to flower so in most temperate climates you can grow peonies.
Yes, peonies generally require at least 6 hours of full sun each day to thrive and bloom successfully. Insufficient sunlight can result in poor growth and fewer flowers. It is important to plant them in a sunny spot in your garden.
The peonies should come back but they may not be as strong as they could be. The plant needs the leaves to gather energy for the new blooms in spring.

Tree peonies are best transplanted in fall or early spring when the plant is dormant.

Sunflowers can have very large flowers. Dahlias can have flowers the size of dinner plates. Peonies also have large flowers.
There are many types of peonies and they have different numbers of petals. Single peonies have between 5 to 12 petals. Other peonies have multiple rows of petals.
Peonies have several adaptations that help them thrive in various environments. Their thick, fleshy roots store nutrients and water, allowing them to endure periods of drought. The plant's robust stems and lush foliage provide structural support and maximize photosynthesis, while their fragrant blooms attract pollinators. Additionally, peonies are cold-hardy, which enables them to survive in temperate climates with harsh winters.
Peonies tend to be floppy so peony rings or peony supports are a good idea. You can get then from big box stores such as Lowes, or Home Depot or various gardening centers or gardening websites.
