just plant them deep enough to get the root ball in the ground ,about 2-3 inches deep, after planting fertilize and don't forget to give them a support ring if you will . once they grow out the heads will need support ,so they don;t droop to the ground. Mine are staked and look beautiful when the heads are open and supported.
How deep should I plant my peonies?
I'm in the South so here is what we do. We plant them about 2 inches deep and then cover with fresh potting soil mix. They will also multiply at times.
Reply:Deep enough to completely cover all rysome(root)
Reply:Soak the peonies; dig big root ball - packing the dirt toward the plant center with shovel as you dig. Put into large pot or burlap. Put compost into the new hole (prep the new area as early as possible with compost). Replant as soon as possible, being careful not plant deeply. Water well. She also recommended shading the plants during midday for awhile after the transplant.
