Disease Resistance: The Bartzella Peony is generally resistant to common peony diseases, including powdery mildew and botrytis blight. Its hardy nature makes it a reliable choice for a variety of growing conditions.
Soil & Light Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils. Providing adequate sunlight and ensuring good drainage helps the plant perform at its best.
Care Instructions: Requires minimal maintenance once established. Regular watering during dry periods helps keep the plant hydrated, but avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Applying mulch around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds. Peonies typically benefit from a period of cold dormancy, so avoid disturbing the plant in late fall or winter. Pruning is generally done to remove spent blooms and any dead or damaged foliage after flowering.

Planting & Maintenance:
Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and appropriate light conditions, either full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Space multiple plants about 24 to 36 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds.
Pruning: Prune after flowering to remove spent blooms and any dead or damaged foliage. Avoid cutting back the plant too early, as the foliage provides essential energy for next year’s blooms.
