Here are some peony care tips ¹ ²:
- Lighting: Peonies need at least six hours of full sunlight to achieve an abundance of large, healthy flowers.
- Soil: Well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH is essential, along with good organic compost.
- Watering: Water peonies on a regular basis during their first fall and spring. Once established, water well when the soil is dry.
- Temperature: Peonies like plenty of sun during their growing season and need a solid winter freeze to store energy in their roots to form the buds for the following spring.
- Fertilizer: Apply a mix of compost and a bit of 10-10-10 fertilizer to the base of the plant every year.
- Pruning: Prune peonies in late fall or early spring by cutting them back to ground level before new growth emerges.
- Pest control: Inspect your plants for signs of common peony diseases, such as botrytis blight, powdery mildew, peony blotch and peony wilt.

Do your cats a favor and don't have lilies in your house. Even the water or a little pollen can kill or cause severe neurological and/or organ damage.
Pine needles and water are not on this list, but can also be a danger.
