Ron’s planting tips

When planting tree peonies dig a 1 metre wide hole that’s 30cm deep and dig through about 3-4 litre of lime or twice that amount of dolomite. Add a generous amount of pelletised chicken manure and some cow manure then plant. Be careful not to damage their roots or bury too deep in the ground. Then backfill and water well with a whole bucket of water.

Peonies grow best in areas with cooler winters, like Tasmania and Victoria, but will even grow in Queensland in the cooler mountain areas. Ron says that the usual rules don’t apply to peonies. The cold in autumn activates their root system, and they feed through winter ready for spring flowers.
