May be left in the ground in Zones 8-9.
French Peony
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil after last spring frost. Pot up indoors 6 weeks before last frost date for earlier bloom. Soak the tubers in water for 3 hours before planting. Plant clawside down, covering them with 1"-2" of soil. Give them a thorough initial watering and wait until shoots appear to begin regular watering when soil surface appears dry. Fertilize weekly as soon as foliage appears. Dig up after foliage withers and store in dry peat moss or vermiculite over winter.
