I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Planting: Plant as early in spring as the soil can be worked—ideally before daytime temperatures consistently exceed 70°F. Set the crown 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Avoid planting too deep, as this can delay or prevent blooming.
Spacing: Space plants 2.5 to 3 feet apart to allow for mature spread and good air circulation.
Light: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is best. In warmer zones, light afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress.
Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with a neutral pH (6.5–7.0). Amend with compost and grit if needed to improve drainage.
Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) through the first growing season.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Spring-planted peonies may take longer to establish and bloom, especially in warmer zones.
Fertilization: Hold off on fertilizing until the second year. Focus on root development in year one.
Staking: Large double blooms may need support. Install peony rings or discreet stakes early in the season.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms. Cut foliage to the ground in fall after frost.
Propagation: Divide clumps only if necessary, and only in fall—peonies dislike disturbance.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent botrytis blight. Avoid overhead watering.
