Plant Identification
Peonies do well in full sun, but require afternoon shade in very hot areas. Keep plants watered regularly and allow for good air circulation around plants by cleaning up fallen leaves and pruning off old flowers. Protect flowers from strong winds. Mulch around plants to keep roots cool in warmer climate areas.
