About This Variety: Rome Patio Peonies are specifically breed for container culture.
Growing Instructions: These Peonies are best grown in pots sized 6-10”. The roots can be pruned back to fit the
pot, but do not cut off the eyes. It is important to cover the entire root with about 1.5-2” of soil, as the eyes should
never dry out. Good soil drainage and airy soil is best for good root development. Can be planted anytime from
September through March. Drench well after planting, never letting the soil dry out during the growing process. They
like being fertilized, and need at least 8 weeks minimum of wintertime temperatures. Maximum light will prevent
stretching of flower stem.

growth. To ensure all shoots develop ensure cooling requirement.
