Peonies are much better if set in
the fall than in the spring. Some
growers very strongly discourage any
spring setting, as it takes at least a
year for the plant to recover.
Peonies should not be moved early
in the fall before they have ripened
their wood. They should not be set
before September 20 and may be set
as late as the ground can be worked.
Don't cover peonies with manure
over winter. A light straw mulch is
good on newly set plants. but estab-
lished plants are better off without a
manure mulch in winter. Put it on
during the growing season.

is not hollow throughout its length,
