To prepare the planting hole for a bareroot peony, dig the soil to a depth of 12-18. Use a garden fork to loosen the sides of the planting hole as well. Add a shovelful of compost and a handful of an all-purpose, organic, granular fertilizer, to the bottom of the hole and then add a shovelful of the original soil.
On occasion, when we do plant tree peonies in full sun to spur plant growth, we shade the blooms with a parasol or cloth awning, which rewards us with blooms that last a week to 10 days. Tree peonies need a well-drained location, such as a hillside; standing water will kill them.ince tree peonies have a lot of leaves and large flowers, they tend to be heavy feeders. Although we donât fertilize them at planting time, we do feed them with compost in subsequent years. With the exception of fresh manures, which need time to break down, any available compost should do.
